All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire, and Elisabeth is implicated in the crime. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them. As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.

Sorcery of Thorns

An instant New York Times bestseller! An Indie Next Top 10 Pick A Parents’ Choice Silver Honor Winner “A funny, action-packed, and sweet romance.” —School Library Journal (starred review) “A phenomenal read.” —RT Book Reviews A skilled painter must stand up to the ancient power of the faerie courts—even as she falls in love with a faerie prince—in this gorgeous bestseller that’s “an ideal pick for fans of Holly Black, Maggie Stiefvater, and Laini Taylor” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). Isobel is an artistic prodigy with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized. But when she receives her first royal patron—Rook, the autumn prince—she makes a terrible mistake. She paints mortal sorrow in his eyes—a weakness that could cost him his life. Furious, Rook spirits her away to his kingdom to stand trial for her crime. But something is seriously wrong in his world, and they are attacked from every side. With Isobel and Rook depending on each other for survival, their alliance blossoms into trust, then love—and that love violates the fair folks’ ruthless laws. Now both of their lives are forfeit, unless Isobel can use her skill as an artist to fight the fairy courts. Because secretly, her Craft represents a threat the fair folk have never faced in all the millennia of their unchanging lives: for the first time, her portraits have the power to make them feel.

An Enchantment of Ravens

From the New York Times bestselling author of Sorcery of Thorns and An Enchantment of Ravens comes a thrilling new YA fantasy about a teen girl with mythic abilities who must defend her world against restless spirits of the dead. The dead of Loraille do not rest. Artemisia is training to be a Gray Sister, a nun who cleanses the bodies of the deceased so that their souls can pass on; otherwise, they will rise as spirits with a ravenous hunger for the living. She would rather deal with the dead than the living, who trade whispers about her scarred hands and troubled past. When her convent is attacked by possessed soldiers, Artemisia defends it by awakening an ancient spirit bound to a saint’s relic. It is a revenant, a malevolent being that threatens to possess her the moment she drops her guard. Wielding its extraordinary power almost consumes her—but death has come to Loraille, and only a vespertine, a priestess trained to wield a high relic, has any chance of stopping it. With all knowledge of vespertines lost to time, Artemisia turns to the last remaining expert for help: the revenant itself. As she unravels a sinister mystery of saints, secrets, and dark magic, her bond with the revenant grows. And when a hidden evil begins to surface, she discovers that facing this enemy might require her to betray everything she has been taught to believe—if the revenant doesn’t betray her first.

Mysteries of Thorn Manor

Rabenprinz

Elisabeth sempre aprendeu que feiticeiros são maus por natureza, corrompidos pela magia demoníaca que dominam. Uma órfã criada em uma das Grandes Bibliotecas de Austermeer, ela cresceu rodeada pelos grimórios―livros mágicos que sussurram nas prateleiras, estremecem sob correntes de ferro e se transformam em monstros assustadores quando são provocados. Seu maior sonho é se tornar uma Guardiã da Biblioteca e proteger seu reino contra a feitiçaria, mas uma sabotagem faz com que Elisabeth se torne a principal suspeita de um crime que não cometeu. Agora, forçada a ir para a capital enfrentar a justiça, ela só tem dois aliados: o feiticeiro Nathaniel Thorn e o misterioso criado dele, Silas. Não demora muito até que a garota perceba que está envolvida em uma conspiração muito maior do que esperava… E incrivelmente mais perigosa. À medida que sua aliança com Nathaniel se torna cada vez mais forte, Elisabeth é obrigada a questionar tudo o que sabe sobre a feitiçaria, sobre as bibliotecas e, acima de tudo, sobre si mesma.

O Feitiço dos Espinhos

UMA FANTASIA EM VOLUME ÚNICO DA MESMA AUTORA DE O FEITIÇO DOS ESPINHOS. Com apenas algumas pinceladas, Isobel cria retratos deslumbrantes para clientes perigosos: o povo das fadas. Esses seres imortais não são capazes de criar ― mesmo as coisas mais simples como assar pães ou escrever cartas os reduziria a pó. Eles anseiam pela habilidade que os humanos têm de produzir, e trocam feitiços valiosos pelas pinturas feitas por Isobel. Quando a garota recebe o seu primeiro cliente da realeza ― Rook, o príncipe do outono ― ela comete um erro terrível: sem pensar, Isobel pinta uma emoção humana no rosto dele, uma fraqueza que pode custar não só o trono, mas a vida do príncipe. Furioso, Rook decide que Isobel precisa ser levada para o reino das fadas e punida pelo crime, mas as coisas saem de controle quando os dois são atacados no meio do caminho. Para sobreviver, eles precisam aprender a confiar um no outro e, dessa confiança, emoções perigosas começam a emergir… Será que o talento de Isobel será suficiente para desafiar as forças sombrias que dominam as cortes feéricas? Acompanhe Isobel e Rook em sua jornada fascinante em um lugar onde a beleza esconde um mundo perverso e o preço da sobrevivência pode ser mais assustador do que a morte.

Po příjezdu se ale oba stanou terčem útoku a začnou být odkázáni jeden na druhého. Isobel má však v rukou mocnou zbraň.

Magie havranů

Dikenlerin Büyüsü

Os mortos de Loraille não descansam. Artemisia não gosta muito de lidar com os vivos... Na companhia dos mortos, ela não precisa se preocupar com as fofocas sobre o seu passado e suas cicatrizes. É por isso que a jovem está treinando para se juntar às Irmãs Cinzentas, uma ordem de freiras encarregadas de purificar os corpos daqueles que morreram para que suas almas não retornem como espíritos famintos. Quando seu convento é atacado por soldados possuídos, Artemisia é obrigada a usar a relíquia de uma santa para enfrentar o perigo. Dentro dessa relíquia reside o avejão, um espírito antigo, maligno e muito poderoso que ameaça possuir a jovem na primeira oportunidade. Controlar todo esse poder é quase impossível, mas a morte se alastra em Loraille e somente uma vespertina ― uma sacerdotisa treinada para manejar uma alta relíquia ― poderá impedir o pior. Só que a maior parte do conhecimento sobre as vespertinas se perdeu no tempo, e agora Artemisia não tem nenhuma opção além de buscar a ajuda do único ser que ainda se lembra delas: o próprio avejão. À medida que os mistérios sobre os santos e suas relíquias são desvendados, a conexão de Artemisia com o avejão cresce. Quando um inimigo inesperado aparece, a jovem percebe que enfrentar esse mal pode muito bem obrigá-la a trair tudo o que acredita... Se o avejão não a trair primeiro.

Seit sie als Findelkind auf den Treppen einer der Großen Bibliotheken von Austermeer ausgesetzt wurde, ist sie zwischen magischen Grimoires großgeworden – Büchern, die in den Regalen flüstern, ihre Eisenketten zum Klirren bringen und sich in tödliche Monster aus Tinte und Papier verwandeln, wenn man sie provoziert. Als durch einen Sabotageakt das gefährlichste Grimoire der ganzen Bibliothek freikommt, wird Elisabeth die Schuld an seinem Ausbruch gegeben. Elisabeth bleibt nichts anderes übrig, als sich ausgerechnet an ihren Erzfeind zu wenden – den Zauberer Nathaniel Thorn. Zusammen mit ihm und seinem dämonischen Diener Silas findet sich Elisabeth bald im Fadenkreuz einer jahrhundertealten Verschwörung wieder.
