"Ein toter König, sechs Verdächtige und nur eine Nacht, um die Wahrheit herauszufinden
Nach einem Jahrzehnt des Krieges soll es zwischen den Königreichen Avendell und Istellia endlich ein Friedensabkommen geben. Als Adlige und Magier aus beiden Ländern auf der abgelegenen Burg Avendell eintreffen, um dort auf einem historischen Maskenball den Frieden zu feiern, lässt König Costis eine ungewöhnliche Gruppe an jungen Leuten in seine Gemächer rufen: den Kronprinzen, dessen zukünftige Braut, seinen Leibwächter, eine magische Tierbändigerin, den fragwürdigen neuen Heiler des Palastes und eine junge Assassinin. Doch bevor Costis verraten kann, warum er sie versammelt hat, wird der König ermordet. Die sechs schließen daraufhin einen riskanten Pakt: Niemand darf von Costis' Tod erfahren, bevor der Vertrag unterzeichnet ist. Und vor allem müssen sie den Mörder finden ... bevor einer von ihnen der Nächste ist."
"One of Us Is Lying meets Knives Out – with beasts, murder, and magic
– in this first book in a thrilling locked-room whodunnit YA fantasy duology by Andrea Hannah and New York Times bestseller Rebecca Mix.
After a decade of war, the kingdoms of Avendell and Istellia have finally agreed to peace. As nobles and magic wielders from both countries arrive at remote Castle Avendell for a historic all-night masquerade to celebrate, King Costis summons an unlikely group to his chambers: the crown prince, his Istellian bride-to-be, his personal guard, a wild beast tamer, and the palace’s questionable new healer. But before Costis can reveal why he has gathered them, the castle goes dark.
When the lights come back, the king is dead – murdered with the princess’s knife, in a weak spot only his guard knew of, and with venom from one of the beast tamer’s monsters lacing the blade.
With no clear killer – and everyone a suspect – they make a risky pact: tell no one until the treaty is signed. But when a winter storm seals everyone inside and someone aware of the king's untimely death begins to pick off guests one by one, the six suspects must work together to discover who killed the king … before one of them is next."
"The second and final book in a stunning middle grade fantasy duology about a young fairy who has always lived in her heroic grandmother’s shadow but now must step up and embark on a quest to save her world—from New York Times bestselling YA author Rebecca Mix.
Something rots within the wood…
Ary Mossheart has done the impossible: The terrarium is shattered, and her people are free. When the folk of Terra are welcomed in by the fairies of Siltshore, an abundant treetop village filled with light, food, and peace, Ary promises herself that her days of saving people are over. It’s time to be normal. Live the life her gran would have wanted; the one she never got back in Terra.
But when fairies begin to disappear one by one and it becomes clear that Siltshore is not as safe as it seems, Ary Owl, and Briar will be pulled down dangerous paths as they try to unravel the strange magics of their new world—and the truth about the one they left behind. To save her new home, Ary will have to step into the role of hero once more.
Except this time, if she fails, there will be no new world to escape to."
"From New York Times bestselling YA author Rebecca Mix comes the first book in a breathtaking middle grade fantasy duology about a young fairy who has always lived in her heroic grandmother’s shadow but now must step up and embark on a quest to save her mother from the ever-creeping mold overtaking their world.
The mold takes all.
Twelve-year-old fairy Canary Mossheart knows this better than most. A few years ago, the mold took her papa, and even her famous, former-chosen-one Gran never found a cure. So when Ary's beloved mama falls ill, Ary decides it’s taken enough. Armed with only a bucket and a prayer, she sneaks out to find a magical, underground lake whose healing waters are straight out of Gran’s adventures.
But when Ary gets there, the lake’s bone dry, and instead of healing waters, she finds a terrifying secret: Her entire world is actually trapped inside a giant terrarium—one they were meant to leave centuries ago. Worse, Gran knew and hid the truth, dooming Ary and her generation to a dying, rotting world.
Now, allied with only her doomsday-obsessed frenemy, a timid pill bug, and a particularly grumpy newt, Ary has one week to unravel the clues and find a way out of the terrarium—or they’ll be trapped for good.
Perfect for readers who loved Brandon Mull's Fablehaven, The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau, and Endling: The Last by Katherine Applegate."
