Zara and Nick are soul mates, meant to be together forever. But that's not how things have worked out. For starters, well, Nick is gone. He's been taken to some mythic place for warriors called Valhalla, where Zara and her friends might be able to get him back. It's just not going to be easy. Meanwhile, Bedford needs its warriors more than ever, since a group of evil pixies is devastating the place, with teens going missing every day. An all-out war seems imminent. But even if Zara and her friends can find the way to Valhalla, there's that other small problem: Zara's been pixie kissed. When she finds Nick, will he even want to leave with her? Especially considering she hasn't turned into just any pixie . . . She's Astley's queen.
Azalea is trapped. Just when she should feel that everything is before her . . . beautiful gowns, dashing suitors, balls filled with dancing . . . it's taken away. All of it.
The Keeper understands. He's trapped, too, held for centuries within the walls of the palace. And so he extends an invitation. Every night, Azalea and her eleven sisters may step through the enchanted passage in their room to dance in his silver forest. But there is a cost. The Keeper likes to keep things. Azalea may not realize how tangled she is in his web until it is too late.

Antarktis, Elephant Island, 24. April 1916. Ernest Shackleton besteigt mit fünf seiner Männer das kleine Segelboot, wirft noch einen Blick zurück auf seine restliche Crew und startet die spektakulärste Rettungsaktion in der Geschichte des Südpolarmeeres. Um seine Mannschaft nach dem Verlust des Polarschiffs Endurance aus dem Polareis zu befreien, wagt er den Weg über das Meer zur 1500 km entfernten Küste von Südgeorgien. Dass das Boot nach 16 Tagen Fahrt über das offene Meer tatsächlich die Küste erreicht, gleicht schon einem Wunder. Doch dann muss Shackleton noch fünf Tage die vereiste, gebirgige Insel durchqueren, um in einer Walfangstation Hilfe zu holen. Im August 1916 wird die Mannschaft der Endurance aus ihrem Gefängnis aus Eis und Schnee befreit. Arved Fuchs spricht mit der Autorin über seine Expedition, in der er die unglaubliche Rettungs-Fahrt des Ernest Shackelton selbst nachreiste. Der Polarforscher bringt uns die Faszination für den
großen Abenteurer nahe, dem es gelang, alle seine Männer vor dem sicheren Tod zu bewahren.
