This novel is an adaptation of Beauty and the Beast. Blind since birth, Elle Duncan has only ever known darkness, but lack of sight has never hindered her ability to perceive the beauty of the world. Her kind and gentle soul is put to the test when her father sustains an injury that threatens their livelihood, and in desperation, he turns to the most unlikely of saviors-the Rossetti Beast. Don Rossetti is bound for an unchanging fate. He is bad-tempered, with an equally dark and scarred countenance to match. With a heart forged of ice and a soul confined to darkness, he has surrendered to a forlorn existence. But when a peasant man arrives from the village begging for a favor, he is compelled to aid the farmer in exchange for a price-a price that Elle will be forced to pay.

She does everything to sabotage her chances but it isn't enough to shield her heart. Eventually the twisting and pulling force her guard down and she falls; she falls so deeply it hurts. Her vulnerability will lead her down a dark winding path she was never ready for. Vampires, a kingdom, a crown, love were just the tip of her iceberg. I promise this is a book that will not disappoint.

Sam is the most promising swordsman among this year’s crop of Paladin trainees...and knows it. Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam is the kingdom of Thule’s best hope against the violence wrought by demons. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the seventeenth Duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she’ll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one. But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel-in-distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn’t recognized her as Lady Samantha--yet-- but if he does, he’ll take away her sword and send her packing. Sam is not the only trainee hiding secrets: Braeden is a half-demon with a dark past that might be unforgivable. Sam, Braeden and Tristan set out for the western coast, charged with rooting out an infestation of demons that has made the West unlivable. As they travel, they uncover a deep-seated corruption of power that threatens to derail everything they stand for. Rebellion stirs, led by a rival faction of warriors who tempt Sam to join them with an irresistible offer. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life -- or just her heart? Reminiscent of Mulan, but with a medieval fantasy twist, Paladin is a tale of adventure, action, and romance.

Twee zielen die strijden om het hart van hun zielsverwant en Jane zit er midden in, want zij is de zielsverwant. Drie zielen die eerst zo verschillend leken, lijken dan uiteindelijk toch meer op elkaar dan verwacht.

En dit terwijl de zielenstrijd om haar hart begonnen is. © Kaydee Staes/dreamlover2000 Alle rechten voorbehouden.

Rosa is een 16 jarig meisje en leeft een vrij normaal leventje. Afgezien van één ding; ze heeft een hele bijzondere gave, ze kan water besturen. Nadat ze wordt aangetrokken door een bijzondere plek, zet dat haar wereld op zen kop. Ze komt in een magische wereld terecht genaamd; Maë. Alle mensen kunnen daar één of twee van de vier elementen besturen. Zodra ze krijgt te horen dat ze in deze wereld hoort en niet in de wereld van de normale mensen twijfelt ze er geen moment aan om in Maë te blijven en haar elementen te leren besturen. Maar de belangrijkste vraag is; wie zijn dan haar echte ouders en hoe is ze in de mensenwereld terecht gekomen?
