„Ravn, was ist deine Begabung? Ich will nur sicher gehen, dass du nicht in meinen Kopf schauen kannst ..." „Wieso? Denkst du an etwas Schmutziges?", sein Grinsen kehrte genauso plötzlich zurück, wie es eben verschwunden war. Er wackelte mit den Augenbrauen und es kostete mich alle Selbstbeherrschung, ein ernstes Gesicht zu bewahren. „Jup, du hast Dreck auf der Nase und ich wollte nur sicher gehen, dass der Gedanke rübergekommen ist." * Kinder verschwinden, Rebellen werden gejagt und die Sonne funktioniert unzuverlässiger als billige Liebeszauber. In Lyas Welt geht es drunter und drüber. Nicht zuletzt, weil ihre Eltern sie zusammen mit ihrem Bruder auf eine Schule für Kinder mit verschiedenen magischen Talenten schicken. Denn, während Lewi dort super rein passt, mangelt es Lya an einer passenden Begabung. Einziger Lichtblick: Ravn. Unfreundlich und viel zu versessen darauf, sein eigenes Talent geheim zu halten. Und natürlich die immer beharrlicher auftretenden Gerüchte um ein Verfluchtes Kind. *** "Verfluchte Kinder"- Teil I (abgeschlossen) #1 Abenteuer 1. Mai 2018

- Editor's Choice! - Grey Meesang has absolutely no idea what he's doing. Raised by his demon father and witch stepmother, twenty-year-old Grey has never been the usual demographic. However, he leads a seemingly ordinary life in the magic-steeped city of Atlanta, until a sudden attack thrusts he and a witch, Midge Osborne, together. Midge warns him that the city he knows and loves is in terrible danger, and if he wants to make it out alive, he has to help her save it. The only problem? Neither one of them knows what the danger is. Follow Grey and Midge as they and their friends battle the odds to rescue their only home.

Dark things swarm around the city. Newspaper-boys are lured into houses, strange mansions whisper into musicians' ears, old men tell tales of vampires, drums boom in the Savannah, children worship false gods and priests begin to question the very foundations of the universe. And all this has something to do with a girl who has no name and a cat whose name nobody knows. A dark, surreal adventure, this book is my flawed tribute to weird-fiction and the writers who made me.

The Fourth wall breaking of DEADPOOL meets JANE AUSTEN meets MAGICAL WEIRDNESS When a mysterious new boy comes to town, seventeen-year-old odd ball, Peneloper Auttsley, must confront the secrets of her past in order to save her present. ***** At seventeen, Peneloper Auttsley has finally come to terms with her lot in life: she's weird, fatherless, hard to get to know and forever bored. Not to mention, her memories from her childhood are a little fuzzy. But once a new boy rolls into town on the back of a storm, tells her she's magical and that something wicked is out to get her, well, Peneloper's life is about to get even weirder, if that's at all possible. Cue the Phil Collins' soundtrack (Mr. Collins named Wizard Tunes Magazine's top musician of all time) because things are about to get magical, lyrical...and absurd. ☆Being Peneloper is a coming of age story with a hint of good humor, a heap of self-awareness, a smattering of romance, and several cases of mild dehydration.☆ Chapter Breaks © 2020 Avadel Ink

[ONC 2025 HONOURABLE MENTION] A witch's broom is for flying and should never be used for cleaning unless you are Isolde Cromsbane.

Inside, there's a spell that could bring back your lost love - but at what cost? © Copyrights Reserved 2025

**Wattys 2016 Winner!** Fifteen-year-old Emmeline Jefferson doesn't have time away from the Demons. Not a minute to say goodbye to her family, not a moment to wonder "Why me?" Every second she's not possessed is spent begging stranger after stranger for help. But no one believes a sporadic girl who claims Demons have spent more time in her body than she has. No one until she finds Dumaine. Dumaine Chartres's whole life fits in his accordion case, his friends are nonexistent, and this fascinating girl is telling him Demons exist. These things all make perfect sense. What he doesn't understand is why humans have such outrageous issues with murder. Death is natural. If he wasn't supposed to kill anyone, they wouldn't have died. Nobody even noticed the bodies anyway. In return for a break from his internal demons, Dumaine offers Emmeline help, and she's willing to receive it from anyone. Maybe this boy can finally be the keeper she needs. Maybe chasing these Demons can explain why he's so different from everyone else. Maybe this friendship can work. With a wise but demented old man, and enough determination to perturb the Demons, Emmeline and Dumaine concoct a plan to unriddle their lives. The first step is to confront the Demon's creator. But something else seems to have found the creator first. And it only looks like an Angel. Human Spines is part one of a YA dark Urban Fantasy written in a style similar to Tahereh Mafi's Shatter Me and Elana Johnson's Possession. It's the first of a series and told from the viewpoints of Emmeline, Dumaine, and their rambling but wise navigator, Hans. Through a diverse cast, it explores themes of learned distrust, fear of the unknown, and the battle against the evil inside us all, in a way similar to a Studio Ghibli film. Cover by ecclesia-
