Die Prophezeiung der Hawkweed

Havikskruid

Now in Paperback: From screenwriter Irena Brignull comes the stunning sequel to her critically acclaimed YA debut, The Hawkweed Prophecy ("Full of romance, heart and suspense...completely absorb[ing]." -Madeleine Roux) about a young witch forced to choose between love and magic. Poppy Hooper doesn't want to be queen of the witches, but some problems can't be left behind. Some love stories can't be forgotten. Some friendships won't be broken. And some enemies won't stay dead... The battle for the throne isn't over yet. Poppy has only just discovered her position and power as queen of the covens. Tormented by the loss of her would-be lover, Leo, to her best friend, Ember, and a past that's shadowed by secrets, she's left her dangerous world of witches and flown to Africa. But Poppy never stops longing for Leo. When she feels his magic begin to spark, she will do anything to be reunited with him. Now as the girls come of age and Poppy's powers grow stronger, her mother, desperate for her daughter's return and forgiveness, sets into motion a plan that puts Poppy, Ember, the boy they love, and the world as they know it at risk.

The Hawkweed Legacy

Poppy Hooper and Ember Hawkweed couldn't lead more different lives. Poppy is a troubled teen: moving from school to school, causing chaos wherever she goes, never making friends or lasting connections. Ember is a young witch, struggling to find a place within her coven and prove her worth. Both are outsiders: feeling like they don't belong and seeking escape. Poppy and Ember soon become friends, and secretly share knowledge of their two worlds. Little do they know that destiny has brought them together: an ancient prophecy, and a life-changing betrayal. Growing closer, they begin to understand why they've never belonged and the reason they are now forever connected to each other. Switched at birth by the scheming witch Raven Hawkweed, Poppy and Ember must come to terms with their true identities and fight for their own place in the world. Enter Leo, a homeless boy with a painful past who – befriending them both – tests their love and loyalty. Can Poppy and Ember's friendship survive? And can it withstand the dark forces that are gathering?

' L'idée de ce roman m'est apparue après une période très difficile de ma vie. Ombre et lumière, hauts et bas, tension et apaisement. Tous ces sentiments et cette atmosphère on trouvé place dans mon écriture. '

Les Sorcières du clan du Nord (Tome 1) - Le Sortilège de minuit

Zwei Mädchen. Zwei Welten. Eine Prophezeiung Ember und Poppy kommen in derselben Gewitternacht in weit entfernten Teilen des Landes zur Welt. Und durch einen mächtigen Fluch werden sie noch in der Sekunde ihrer Geburt vertauscht. So wächst das Mädchen Ember in einem Clan von Hexen auf. Und Poppy, die Hexe, in einer Kleinstadt in England. Doch Poppy fliegt von jeder Schule, weil ihr dauernd seltsame Dinge passieren: Wenn sie wütend wird, zerspringen in ihrer Nähe Fensterscheiben oder Dinge fliegen durch den Raum. Ihre Mitschüler halten sie für einen Freak, und Poppys einzige Freunde sind die Katzen. Nur draußen vor der Stadt fühlt sie sich wirklich frei. Ember hingegen hat keine Ahnung, wie man die Kräfte der Natur heraufbeschwört oder einen Zauber ausspricht, und für das Leben im Wald bei den Frauen des Hexen-Clans ist sie zu zart und verletzlich. Immer und überall spüren die beiden, dass sie anders sind und nicht dazugehören. Doch von der uralten Prophezeiung, die ihr Schicksal bestimmen wird, ahnen sie nichts. Erst als sie sich eines Tages gegenüberstehen, wissen sie, dass es einen Ort geben muss, an dem sie glücklich sind. Und dass es höchste Zeit ist, für dieses Glück zu kämpfen. Denn in irgendeinem Städtchen im Süden ist Embers leibliche Mum gerade dabei, den Verstand zu verlieren. Und in den Wäldern im Norden formieren sich die Hexenclans für die letzte Schlacht um den Thron.

Certaines histoires d'amour ne s'oublient pas. Certaines amitiés résistent à la distance et certains ennemis ne meurent jamais. Alors qu'elle doit devenir reine des sorcières, Poppy s'est enfuie en Afrique, où elle est bientôt retenue prisonnière. L'amour de Leo pourra-t-il la libérer ? Sans blesser la douce Clarée, qui cherche sa voie dans sa nouvelle communauté? Quand la réalité et la magie se mêlent, quand le passé rencontre le présent... Révélations, passion, dangers : retour au coeur d'une aventure fascinante.

"A little boy dreams of a world beyond the farm where he lives - a world full of mountain ranges, oceans and cities, where he could do anything.

Can he overcome his fears and chase his dreams?"--Publisher's description.

The Seed of Doubt

The Child of Dreams

Le bambine nacquero nel preciso istante in cui gli orologi scoccarono la mezzanotte. Una nuvola scura coprì la luna e là, nella foresta, il cielo si fece buio. L’incantesimo era stato lanciato. Per quattordici, lunghi anni Poppy Hopper ha cercato di ingannare tutti, persino se stessa. Ha finto di essere una ragazza come tante, mentre i gatti la seguivano ovunque, i ragni tessevano tele complicate intorno a lei e gli elementi della natura sembravano rispondere al suo volere. Anche Ember Hawkweed ha sempre fatto di tutto pur di sentirsi normale: una normalissima strega come le altre. Ma se le sue amiche eccellevano nelle arti magiche, creando pozioni e incantesimi, lei riusciva solo a preparare unguenti e bolle di sapone. Quando Poppy ed Ember si incontrano, però, le cose cambiano. Le due ragazze capiscono subito di essere più simili di quanto avrebbero mai potuto immaginare. Entrambe sanno di non appartenere al mondo in cui vivono, ed entrambe vogliono scoprire la verità. Chi sono realmente? Quale legame misterioso le unisce? Insieme, Poppy ed Ember sono pronte a qualsiasi cosa pur di trovare le risposte che cercano. Anche ad affrontare una pericolosa profezia che affonda le radici nella notte dei tempi. «Un fantasy che ha il respiro di un classico ma che affronta temi moderni come l’identità, l’amicizia e l’amore.» - Publisher’s Weekly
