Elizabeth Webster and the Court of Uncommon Pleas

Elizabeth Webster is happy to stay under the radar (and under her bangs) until middle school is dead and gone. But when star swimmer Henry Harrison asks her to tutor him in math, it's not linear equations Henry really needs help with-it's a flower-scented, poodle-skirt-wearing, head-tossing ghost who's calling out Elizabeth's name. But why Elizabeth? Could it have something to do with her missing lawyer father? Maybe. Probably. If only she could find him. In her search, she discovers more than she is looking for: a grandfather she never knew, a startling legacy, and the secret family law firm Webster & Son, Attorneys for the Damned. Elizabeth and her friends soon land in court, where demons and ghosts take the witness stand and a red-eyed judge with a ratty white wig hands out sentences like sandwiches. Will Elizabeth's father arrive in time to save Henry Harrison-and is Henry the one who really needs saving?

Nadat hij uit de kerker ontsnapt, is Thor geschokt wanneer hii hoort over een tweede poging om Koning MacGil te vermoorden. Wanneer MacGil sterft, breekt er chaos uit in het koninkrijk. Terwijl iedereen strijdt om de troon, is het Koninklijk Hof het toneel van familiedrama's, machtsstrijden, ambities, jaloezie, geweld en verraad. Er moet een erfgenaam worden gekozen, en iemand zal de kans hebben om het eeuwenoude Zwaard van het Lot, de bron van al hun kracht, op te tillen.

De Krijgsmacht moet het Ravijn oversteken, voorbij de bescherming van de Ring, de Wildernis in, richting de Tartuvische Zee en het Eiland van de Mist, waarvan men zegt dat het bewaakt wordt door een draak. Zullen ze terugkeren? Zal de Ring overleven tijdens hun afwezigheid? En zal Thor eindelijk achter het geheim van zijn lotsbestemming komen? EEN MARS VAN KONINGEN vertelt het epische verhaal van vrienden en geliefden, van rivalen en minnaars, van ridders en draken, van intriges en politieke machinaties, van volwassen worden, van gebroken harten, van misleiding, ambitie en verraad.

Voto Di Gloria (Libro #5 in L'Anello dello Stregone)

In VOTO DI GLORIA (Libro #5 in L'Anello dello Stregone), Thor si imbarca con i suoi compagni della Legione per un'impresa epica nelle vaste Terre Selvagge dell'Impero per cercare di trovare l'antica Spada della Dinastia e salvare quindi l'Anello. Le amicizie di Thor si fanno sempre più profonde mentre viaggiano in luoghi nuovi, affrontano mostri inimmaginabili e combattono fianco a fianco in incredibili battaglie. Incontrano territori esotici, creature e persone che non avrebbero mai immaginato, mentre ogni ulteriore passo del loro viaggio si presenta carico di pericoli sempre più grandi. Dovranno chiamare a raccolta tutta la loro abilità se vorranno sopravvivere mentre seguono il sentiero dei ladri, sempre più a fondo nel territorio dell'Impero. La loro ricerca li porterà direttamente fino al cuore del Mondo Sotterraneo, un dei sette regni dell'inferno, dove regnano i morti viventi e i campi sono disseminati di ossa. Qui più che mai Thor chiama a raccolta i suoi poteri e lotta per capire la sua stessa natura. Tornata nell'Anello, Gwendolyn deve condurre metà della Corte del Re verso la roccaforte occidentale di Silesia, un'antica città arroccata ai confine del Canyon che domina da quella postazione da oltre mille anni. Le fortificazioni di Silesia le hanno permesso di sopravvivere a ogni attacco nel corso dei secoli, ma la città non ha mia dovuto affrontare un assalto da parte di un capo quale Andronico e da un esercito di un milione di uomini. Gwendolyn impara cosa significhi essere regina nel momento in qui assume il ruolo di guida. Srog, Kolk, Brom, Steffen, Kendrick e Godfrey sono al suo fianco e si preparano a difendere la città dalla violenta guerra che sta per scatenarsi. Nel frattempo, Gareth sta impazzendo sempre di più, cercando di respingere un colpo di stato che lo vorrebbe morto nella Corte del Re. Erec combatte per la sua vita e per il suo amore, Alistair e la città di Savaria, mentre lo scudo inattivo permette a creature selvagge di invadere l'Anello. E Godfrey, crogiolandosi nel bere, dovrà decidere se è pronto o meno a dimenticare il suo passato e diventare l'uomo che la sua famiglia si aspetta. Mentre tutti combattono per le loro vite e le cose sembrano peggiorare sempre più, la storia termina con due scioccanti colpi di scena. Ce la farà Gwendolyn a sopravvivere all'assalto? Thor sopravviverà all'Impero? Troveranno la Spada della Dinastia? Con la sua sofisticata struttura e caratterizzazione, VOTO DI GLORIA è un racconto epico di amicizia e amore, di rivali e seguaci, di cavalieri e draghi, di intrighi e macchinazioni politiche, di maturazione, di cuori spezzati, di inganno, ambizione e tradimento. È un racconto di onore e coraggio, di fato e destino, di stregoneria. È un fantasy capace di portarci in un mondo che non dimenticheremo mai, in grado di affascinare persone di ogni sesso ed età. Ha circa 75.000 parole.
