** Kann eine neue Liebe in den Trümmern einer alten Welt erblühen? ** Und so ging die Welt der Menschen verloren und eine neue, unsere Welt, wurde geboren. - Morrígan Göttin der Schlacht der Túatha Dé Danann - 4. Zyklus anno Bellum. Der zweite Weltkrieg, welcher die Menschheit an den Abgrund trieb, hat nicht nur Tod und Zerstörung hinterlassen, sondern auch das Tor zu einer anderen Realität geöffnet. Als die Situation zu kippen droht, greifen deutsche Kultisten zu verzweifelten Maßnahmen: Sie benutzen ein magisches Artefakt, welches das Schicksal der ganzen Menschheit verändert. Es zerreißt den Schleier nach Thule und enthüllt das Reich der Mythen und Legenden. Wesen, die einst nur in den Erzählungen der Alten existierten, beherrschen nun die Welt. In den Trümmern der alten Zeit und einer aufstrebenden neuen Gesellschaft mit neuen Herrschern, den sogenannten Vaesen, kämpfen die wenigen Überlebenden verzweifelt um ihre Existenz, während die verbliebenen Anhänger der Thule-Gesellschaft im Verborgenen daran arbeiten, das Schicksal der Welt erneut zu besiegeln. Doch inmitten von Chaos und Verzweiflung erhebt sich auch Hoffnung. Ein Pelzwechsler, getrieben von Rache, und eine Blutjägerin der Strigoi, welche ihre eigenen Geheimnisse birgt, geraten in das Netz dieser Intrigen. Sie begeben sich auf eine Jagd, die darüber entscheiden könnte, ob am Ende die Welt die selbe verbleiben oder sich erneut blutig wandeln wird. In einem Sturm aus Anziehungskraft, Vorurteilen und Magie müssen Zane und Myreille nicht nur ihre eigenen Gefühle ordnen und die Verstrickungen der verfeindeten Vaesen überwinden, sondern auch gegen das drohende Unheil kämpfen, welches die letzten Leben zu verschlingen droht. **** ONC Beitrag 2024 - GEWINNER 3.

Colin Levesque is at loose ends. He's finished university, but has no career; he adores romance novels, but he's crap at relationships; and his prickliness is a detriment at the cafe where he's making ends meet. He also has a crush on his regular Dav, a homo draconis who comes in every morning to read his newspaper, sip his double-strong coffee, and stare longingly at Colin in return. So it figures that the day Colin gets up the courage to do something about the sexual tension simmering between them, he also learns that Dav has an embarrassing habit of hiccupping fire when he's nervous. Which, in this case, destroys the fancy custom-made bean roaster. When Dav volunteers to take over the coffee roasting with his firebreath, being squished together in the hot, cramped kitchen leads to even hotter kisses. Everything's finally happening for Colin-until people start claiming the dragon-roasted coffee has cured their genetic ailments. As their budding relationship struggles under the scrutiny of scientists and media, the hype around the coffee leads the lovers to be inducted into a centuries-old conspiracy: dragon-roasted food has always healed humans. And the most powerful draconic nobles have been withholding this symbiotic advantage to keep themselves on top. Colin and Dav are determined to expose the truth, but if they're not careful, their objections could goad power-mad monarchs into destroying everything they hold dear. Including each other. * Read the full book on Kindle. * Cover Art by SeanceFemme

Snow White, daughter of one of the most prominent ranchers in the area, claims her stepmother is trying to kill her. Dalton Prince- the owner of the cabin she takes up residence in thanks to a passing storm- thinks she's a little soft in the head. It's no matter though, he can just return her to her family, no harm done. But the young woman, it would seem, has other plans entirely. She claims she can't go home and she has every intention of staying with Dalton to help him raise the seven boys he's taken in over the years. They're her purpose now. Still Dalton will do whatever it takes to return the young woman to where she belongs- under the care of her father and stepmother who can keep an eye on their addlebrained charge. Except as he's met with trouble from every side he starts to wonder who is telling the truth in all of this and just how much trouble this strange but attractive young woman will bring upon him, his boys, and up until now his somewhat ordered life.
