[ABGESCHLOSSEN] Benjamin von Hafenbrödel ist der beste Sommelier Welt - behauptet zumindest sein Blog, den außer seiner Mutter niemand liest. Während er im „Goldenen Fasan" noch Gästen erklären muss, dass Wein nach „toskanischer Sehnsucht" schmeckt und nicht nur zum Steak passen sollte, wartet er auf seinen großen Durchbruch. Der kommt prompt in Form einer schwarzen Kutsche und einer Einladung auf Schloss Dunkelruh. Benjamin erwartet die Elite der Weinwelt, findet aber eine Gesellschaft vor, die so altmodisch ist, dass sie das Atmen glatt vergessen hat. Schnell wird klar: Gastgeber Damien Sinclair sucht keinen Angestellten, sondern eine neue Rarität für seinen Keller. Benjamin soll der Star der nächsten Verkostung werden - und zwar in der Flasche. Kann er sein Leben retten, indem er den Tod davon überzeugt, dass er als Jahrgang 2025 noch viel zu viel Säure hat? Eine Horrorkomödie über ein Ego, das selbst die Ewigkeit alt aussehen lässt.

A samurai promising his sister he'll return. A hundred elite soldiers marching north with him. A fenwulf knight without family or past. Only the republic that made her, and her will to die for it. The empire's perfect blade, and it's emptiest man. A warlord's daughter marching beneath a banner she doesn't trust. The most promising mind in the Magisterium, carrying a message that could end the world. An epic told through five eyes as a continent goes to war, and a centuries-old truth begins to surface beneath it all. This multi-POV fantasy story is written in style of Game of Thrones, featuring imperial legions, samurai, and knights, alongside elves, dwarves, beastfolk, and many other mythical creatures that inhabit the world.

Kate the town gravedigger is used to doing things alone. She's used to a simple life with no frills or complications.

Quite suddenly she is whisked away on a magical quest to the feywild where nothing is as it seems and the air is stuffed full of whimsy. To make matters worse her travel companions Thynol the gentle furbold, Kana the goat woman herbalist, and Averoul, a carnival magician with a mysterious past, keep trying to . . . help her. It's all very confusing. Stranger still, she might actually . . . enjoy their company.
