Götterlust (Jenseits des Olymps)
by Tina FolsomEin desillusionierter Gott der Liebe, der seiner eigenen Zauberkraft abgeschworen hat. Eine lebhafte sterbliche Floristin, die vielleicht sein zynisches Herz zum Blühen bringen könnte. Eros, der Gott der Liebe, hat ein gebrochenes Herz und hat seinen Bogen weggesperrt. Er weigert sich, seine Pfeile auf die Welt der Sterblichen zu schießen. Infolgedessen verlieben sich die Sterblichen nicht mehr und Zeus' donnernder Zorn hallt durch den Olymp. Zeus wendet sich an Eros' engste Freunde – Triton, Dionysos und Hermes – und beauftragt sie, in Eros den Glauben an seine eigene Macht wieder zu entfachen. Ihr Plan? Eros muss sich verlieben. Auftritt Psyche, eine bezaubernde menschliche Floristin, die genauso der Liebe überdrüssig ist wie Eros. Während die Götter sich verschwören, um die beiden zusammenzubringen, entflammt zwischen dem zynischen Gott und der unabhängigen Sterblichen eine unbestreitbare Leidenschaft. Aber können sie ihre Vergangenheit überwinden und das entdecken, was Eros aufgegeben hat? Machen Sie sich bereit für den spannenden vierten Teil der "Jenseits des Olymps"-Reihe, einer fesselnden romantischen Fantasy, in der ein zynischer Gott und eine unabhängige Sterbliche in einen Kampf um Liebe, Magie und das Schicksal der Welt verwickelt werden.

Göttersturm (Jenseits des Olymps)
by Tina FolsomEr ist ein verbannter Gott, der verzweifelt nach Wiedergutmachung sucht. Sie ist die Sterbliche, die hinter seine göttliche Fassade blickt. Der wunderschöne, arrogante griechische Gott Triton ist nach einer skandalösen Affäre mit Zeus' Geliebter aus der Gunst des Olymps gefallen. Sein einziger Weg zurück in seine himmlische Heimat? Eine sterbliche Frau zu finden, die ihn aufgrund seiner Güte liebt, nicht aufgrund seiner atemberaubenden Schönheit, die ihn einst auszeichnete. Das Schicksal führt ihn zu Sophia, einer sterblichen Frau, die sich von einer Augenoperation erholt und deren Welt fast vollständig in Dunkelheit gehüllt ist. Auf der Suche nach einer Pflegekraft nimmt sie unwissentlich den gefallenen Gott in ihr Leben auf. Während Triton sich um Sophia kümmert, entflammt in ihm ein starker Beschützerinstinkt, als ein unsichtbarer Feind sie bedroht. Doch gerade als sein Herz beginnt, für Sophias sanfte Seele zu erwachen, schmieden rivalisierende Götter einen Plan, um ihn zu Fall zu bringen. Nun steht Triton vor einer unmöglichen Entscheidung: seinen Platz unter den Göttern zurückerobern oder sein Herz der einzigen Frau schenken, die ihn wirklich sieht. Wird ihre Verbindung stark genug sein, um sich dem Olymp zu widersetzen, oder wird Triton ihre Liebe opfern, um sein früheres Leben zurückzugewinnen? Tauchen Sie ein in den fesselnden ersten Band der "Jenseits des Olymps"-Reihe, einer heißen und humorvollen romantischen Fantasy, in der griechische Götter die berauschende Anziehungskraft der sterblichen Liebe erkennen.

Göttertraum (Jenseits des Olymps)
by Tina FolsomEine verschmähte Sterbliche mit einem geheimen Plan. Ein Gott, der seiner Erinnerungen beraubt wurde und reif für eine Lektion in Sachen Liebe ist. Dionysos, der hedonistische Gott des Weines und der Ekstase, macht mit seiner neuesten sterblichen Eroberung, Ariadne, Schluss und tut ihre erste und einzige leidenschaftliche Nacht als bedeutungslos ab. Aber die Göttin Hera hat genug von seiner Herzlosigkeit. In einem schnellen Akt göttlicher Intervention raubt sie Dionysos seine Erinnerungen, in der Hoffnung, ihm die Bedeutung von Demut beizubringen. Ariadne ist von Dionysos' grausamer Zurückweisung verletzt und will nichts mehr mit dem arroganten Gott zu tun haben. Aber als sie ihn blutüberströmt, zusammengeschlagen und unter Amnesie leidend auffindet, keimt ein schelmischer Plan in ihr. Sie nutzt die Gelegenheit, gibt sich als seine Verlobte aus und webt ein Netz aus vorgetäuschter Zuneigung. Je tiefer die Täuschung vordringt, desto mehr verschwimmen die Grenzen zwischen Vortäuschung und echten Gefühlen, und Ariadne fühlt sich unerwartet zu dem nun verletzlichen Gott hingezogen. Aber was wird passieren, wenn Dionysos seine Erinnerungen zurückerlangt? Wird Ariadne für ihre Täuschung seinen göttlichen Zorn zu spüren bekommen, oder kann eine sterbliche Frau wirklich das Herz eines Gottes, der endlich gelernt hat zu lieben, erobern? Tauchen Sie ein in den berauschenden zweiten Teil der "Jenseits des Olymps"-Reihe, einer köstlich witzigen und sinnlichen romantischen Fantasie, in der eine rachsüchtige Sterbliche und ein Gott mit Amnesie entdecken, dass die größten Liebesgeschichten manchmal aus den überraschendsten Täuschungen entstehen.

What turned this farmland into a sterile, blasted heath? It happened long ago, the visitor learns from aged survivor Ammi Pierce, when in 1882 a visitor fell out of a clear blue sky, trailing smoke like a dragon.Soon scientists from Miskatonic University arrived at Nahum Gardner&’s farm, where the meteorite landed—if indeed it was a meteorite, for the strangely plastic object refused to cool after its descent, seemed to gradually shrink, and in the laboratory, samples of it faded away slowly into nothingness. But not before revealing under analysis strange, shining radiance, unlike any known element of the spectrum.What had been a mystery to the professors gradually becomes a horror for the Gardner family as first, bizarre lightning disintegrates what remains of the cosmic visitor, and then their crops begin to come in strangely—fruits big and bountiful, but bitter and repugnant to eat. Then the unnatural blight spreads to the animals…and finally, to the minds and bodies of the Gardners…twisted by the colour out of space.&“I love H.P. Lovecraft…It would be great to adapt him as a serialized manga, but I actually saw Gou Tanabe create a great adaption of H.P. Lovecraft&’s stories.
