Allegiance of Honour: Book 15 (The Psy-Changeling Series)
by Nalini SinghThe Psy-Changeling world has undergone a staggering transformation and now stands at a crossroads. The Trinity Accord promises a new era of cooperation between disparate races and groups. It is a beacon of hope held together by many hands: old enemies. New allies. Wary loners.But a century of distrust and suspicion can't be so easily forgotten and threatens to shatter Trinity from within at any moment. As rival members vie for dominance, chaos and evil gather in the shadows and a kidnapped woman's cry for help washes up in San Francisco, while the Consortium turns its murderous gaze toward a child who is the embodiment of change, of love, of piercing hope: a child who is both Psy . . . and changeling.To find the lost, protect the vulnerable and save Trinity no one can stand alone. This is a time of loyalty across divisions, of bonds woven into the heart and the soul, of heroes known and unknown standing back to back and holding the line. But is an allegiance of honour even possible with traitors lurking in their midst?

Allein mit Mr. Darcy: Eine Variation von „Stolz und Vorurteil“
by Abigail Reynolds Nicola GeigerAllein mit Mr. Darcy... Elizabeth Bennet kann sich nichts Schlimmeres vorstellen, als während eines Schneesturms in einem winzigen Cottage mit dem stolzen und unfreundlichen Mr. Darcy festzusitzen. Dort aber über Tage - und auch Nächte dazu - mit einem verletzten und verwirrten Mr. Darcy gefangen zu sein, der immer wieder die seltsamsten Dinge über sie sagt, ist sogar noch schlimmer. Zumindest besitzt er die nützliche Fähigkeit, ein Feuer zu entfachen, sodass sie sich nicht zu Tode frieren müssen. Als er aber seine Arme um sie legt, findet sie heraus, dass er nicht nur im Kamin ein Feuer entfachen kann. Und das kleine halberfrorene Kätzchen, das er im Holzstoß findet, ist auch keine brauchbare Anstandsdame. Sie nimmt ihm seine Versprechungen, sie zu heiraten, falls jemand etwas darüber herausfindet dass sie zwei Nächte allein verbracht haben, nicht wirklich ab, insbesondere nachdem sie herausfindet, dass er in der Vergangenheit von einer anderen Frau verraten wurde. Als ihre schlimmsten Befürchtungen wahr werden und ihr guter Ruf zerstört ist, wundert es sie nicht, dass sich Mr. Darcy rarmacht und ihr keine andere Wahl lässt, als sich schnellstmöglich einen Ehemann zu suchen, bevor ihre gesamte Familie ruiniert ist. Jeder Gatte wäre nun recht, ganz gleich, wie sehr er ihr wiederstrebt. Auch wenn sie nicht aufhören kann, an Mr. Darcy zu denken. ~*~ Lob für Abigail Reynolds: "Falls Ihnen diese fesselnden und romantischen Pemberley-Variationen nicht bekannt sind: Es handelt sich dabei um Abwandlungen von Stolz und Vorurteil ("Pride and Prejudice"), die unsere geliebten Romanhelden auf einen etwas anderen Weg schicken. Abigail Reynolds, eine meiner liebsten unter den Austen-esken Autorinnen, ist eine talentierte Geschichtenerzählerin, eine glühende Verehrerin von Jane
