A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both. Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There, she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge. Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world. There, she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag, Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years. Now seventeen, Oak is charming, beautiful, and manipulative. He's on a mission that will lead him into the north, and he wants Suren's help. But if she agrees, it will mean guarding her heart against the boy she once knew and a prince she cannot trust, as well as confronting all the horrors she thought she left behind.

      "Cassel Sharpe comes from a family of curse workers, people who have the power to change emotions, memories, and luck with the slightest touch of their hands. And since curse work is illegal, they're also all criminals. Many become mobsters and con artists, but not Cassel. He doesn't have magic, so he's an outsider, the straight kid in a crooked family, except for the small detail that he killed his best friend, Lila, three years ago. Cassel has carefully built up a facade of normalcy, blending into the crowd. But his facade starts to crumble when he finds himself sleepwalking, propelled into the night by terrifying dreams about a white cat that wants to tell him something. He's noticing other disturbing things, too, including the strange behavior of his two older brothers, who are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect he's an unwitting pawn in a huge con game, he must unravel his past, and his memories. To find the truth, Cassel will have to out-con the conmen."--

When a terrible figure from her past returns, Charlie descends back into a maelstrom of murder and lies. Determined to survive, she's up against a cast of doppelgängers, mercurial billionaires, gloamists, and the people she loves best in the world - all trying to steal a secret that will allow them control of the shadow world and more.

Doch seine Feinde ruhen nicht und die Hölle, die Lucifer aufgegeben hat, soll nun unter ihnen aufgeteilt werden. Und dann wäre da noch eine klitzekleine Kleinigkeit, die Lucifer davon abhält, sich ganz auf seine Pianobar in L. A. zu konzentrieren: nach dem Tod Gottes sitzt auf seinem Thron ein Betrüger, ein mächtiges Wesen, das den freien Willen im Universum auslöschen will… Aber Lucifer hat schon immer gern Widerworte gegeben und sieht gar nicht ein, warum er sich ändern sollte, egal, wer da auf dem Thron sitzt. Und zum Glück hat er eine ganze Reihe wunderbarer Freunde und (teils unfreiwilliger) Unterstützer, als er sich in einen Kampf stürzt, der sich von den Höhen der Silberstadt bis in die tiefsten Tiefen der Hölle erstreckt… Das schockierende Finale der neuesten Saga um den gefallenen Engel, geschrieben von den bekannten Autoren Richard Kadrey und Holly Black, mit großartigen Bildern versehen von Lee Garbett, Marco Rudy und Ben Templesmith.

Die Riesen waren dazu bestimmt, ein noch weitaus gefährlicheres Wesen abzuwehren – den schrecklichen WYRM! Nun aber ruhen die Giganten unten auf dem Meeresgrund, die Meerjungfrauen weigern sich, sie wieder herauszugeben, und nichts kann den Angriff des Wyrm-Königs mehr verhindern. Nichts, außer … Psst! Das wird noch nicht verraten!

      In Tithe, sixteen-year-old Kaye is a modern nomad. Fierce and independent, she drifts from place to place with her mother's rock band until an ominous attack forces Kaye back to her childhood home. There, amid the blue-collar New Jersey backdrop, Kaye finds herself an unwilling pawn in an ancient and violent power struggle between two rival faerie kingdoms--a struggle that could very well mean her death. In Valiant, the companion to Tithe, seventeen-year-old Valerie runs away to New York City, trying to escape a life that has utterly betrayed her. Sporting a new identity, she takes up with a gang of squatters who live in the city's labyrinthine subway system. But there's something eerily beguiling about Val's new friends. When one talks Val into tracking down the lair of a mysterious creature, Val finds herself torn between her affection for an honorable monster and her fear of what her new friends are becoming. In Ironside, the sequel to Tithe, the time has come for Roiben's coronation. Uneasy in the midst of the malevolent Unseelie Court, pixie Kaye is sure of only one thing--her love for Roiben. But when Kaye drunkenly declares herself to Roiben, he sends her on a seemingly impossible quest to find a faerie who can tell a lie. Unable to see Roiben until she has fulfilled his quest, Kaye finds herself in the center of the battle of wits and weapons being waged over his throne.
