Princesas e príncipes vampiros
by Vianka Van Bokkem Josiane da Silva MattosMinha nova universidade é um mosteiro medieval reformado na Eslováquia chamado 'Dux Ducis' (líder dos líderes em latim). A universidade é administrada por professores de todo o mundo. Os monges a abandonaram há muitos anos, e não é exatamente o lugar que uma menina de dezoito anos gostaria de estar, só que eu não tenho escolha. Sou a princesa herdeira Paola Katarina da Suécia. Meus melhores amigos são a princesa herdeira Sofia Eleonora da Finlândia e o príncipe herdeiro Oskar Niklas da Noruega. No sexto dia no mosteiro, uma batida suave na porta me acordou. Dei uma olhada no relógio e era uma hora da manhã. Não havia ninguém lá, mas vi um rapaz de pijama andando descalço pelo jardim. A maneira rígida e lenta em que estava andando me fez pensar que ele era sonâmbulo. Segui-o e poucos minutos depois ele iniciou uma conversa arrepiante. -- Você é tão ingênua, Paola. Sempre tentando ajudar os outros, mesmo que sejam estranhos. Estou prestes a te ensinar uma lição que nenhum professor nesta universidade pode te ensinar. Quando o rapaz disse o meu nome, eu vi que ele não era sonâmbulo. Ele estava me atraindo para a sala de oração. -- Quem é você? Por que você me enganou para te seguir? O rapaz levou alguns segundos para responder, sem olhar para mim. -- Usei tantos nomes nos últimos 300 anos que não me lembro mais do meu nome de batismo; a maioria dos meus conhecidos me chamam de Patryk Lucescu.

The Princess and the Fangirl: A Geekerella Fairy Tale (Once Upon A Con #2)
by Ashley PostonThe Prince and the Pauper gets a Geekerella-style makeover in this witty and heartfelt novel for those who believe in the magic of fandom. Imogen Lovelace is an ordinary fangirl on an impossible mission: to save her favorite Starfield character, Princess Amara, from being killed off. On the other hand, the actress who plays Amara wouldn’t mind being axed. Jessica Stone doesn’t even like being part of the Starfield franchise—and she’s desperate to leave the intense scrutiny of fandom behind. Though Imogen and Jess have nothing in common, they do look strangely similar to one another—and a case of mistaken identity at ExcelsiCon sets off a chain of events that will change both of their lives. When the script for the Starfield sequel leaks, with all signs pointing to Jess, she and Imogen must trade places to find the person responsible. The deal: Imogen will play Jess at her signings and panels, and Jess will help Imogen’s best friend run their booth. But as these “princesses” race to find the script leaker—in each other’s shoes—they’re up against more than they bargained for. From the darker side of fandom to unexpected crushes, Imogen and Jess must find a way to rescue themselves from their own expectations...and redefine what it means to live happily ever after.
