Der neue König Coryn beschäftigt sich weiter mit den alten Legenden. In einer weiteren Chronik erfährt er von der Geburt und den frühen Jahren von Hoole. Hoole wächst zunächst an einem geheimen Ort auf, damit er vor den Dämonen geschützt ist, die ihn für ihre Zwecke rauben und missbrauchen wollen, um die Weltherrschaft zu gewinnen. Als er schließlich doch entdeckt wird, flieht er in die Hinterlande. Dort lernt er das Leben der Wölfe kennen, deren Jagdstrategien ihm später im Kampf gegen die Dämonen sehr von Vorteil sein werden...
Schräge Dates und eine stürmische Liebe
Nach einer weiteren Pleite in Sachen Liebe muss Franzi (34) sich erneut auf die Suche nach dem Traummann machen. Zum Glück entwickelt die Werbeagentur, für die sie arbeitet, gerade eine Kampagne für die Online-Börse 'Dreamteam', die eine revolutionäre Methode der Partnersuche verspricht. Nach der neuen Liebesformel hübsch vorsortiert sollte Franzi der Märchenprinz eigentlich auf dem Silbertablett serviert werden. Stattdessen jagt ein Katastrophen- Date das nächste, und die Pantoffeln von den Helden zu trennen wird für Franzi zum Fulltime-Job.

Everything changed on The Day. The day the windows shattered. The day the power stopped. The day Dol's family dropped dead. The day Earth lost a war it didn't know it was fighting.
Since then, Dol has lived a simple life in the countryside -- safe from the shadow of the Icon and its terrifying power. Hiding from the one truth she can't avoid.
She's different. She survived. Why?
When Dol and her best friend, Ro, are captured and taken to the Embassy, off the coast of the sprawling metropolis once known as the City of Angels, they find only more questions. While Ro and fellow hostage Tima rage against their captors, Dol finds herself drawn to Lucas, the Ambassador's privileged son. But the four teens are more alike than they might think, and the timing of their meeting isn't a coincidence. It's a conspiracy.
Within the Icon's reach, Dol, Ro, Tima, and Lucas discover that their uncontrollable emotions -- which they've always thought to be their greatest weaknesses -- may actually be their greatest strengths.
Bestselling author Margaret Stohl delivers the first audiobook in a heart-pounding series set in a haunting new world where four teens must piece together the mysteries of their pasts -- in order to save the future.

The threat to the Keepers doubles in the fourth Keepers of the School adventure from Andrew Clements, the master of the school story.
Benjamin Pratt and his friends Jill and Robert are determined to save their school from destruction. But just when it seems they've finally gotten the upper hand over that awful Janitor Lyman, they're caught completely off guard by his next move: Lyman has called in reinforcements, and suddenly Benjamin, Jill, and Robert find themselves dodging not one evil janitor, but two. That's right: Lyman's got himself a partner. And it quickly becomes clear that Wally, the new guy, is even more corrupt and menacing than Lyman.
Luckily, Ben's team has been growing too. Plus, thank to the latest safeguard, they also have a secret fund of millions of dollars. But all the money in Massachusetts isn't enough to stop Lyman and Wally, not when they've come this far, and not when they are about to put the most harmful part of their plan into play. Could the next safeguard give the Keepers what they need-or has their battle to save the school already been sunk?
