Owen Kiskaddon ist zum mächtigsten Offizier am Hofe von Königsfall aufgestiegen. Nachdem er sowohl seinen Mentor als auch seine große Liebe Elysabeth verloren hat, muss er sich alleine dem Wankelmut König Severns stellen. Als er im benachbarten Königreich einen Krieg anzetteln soll, begegnet er dort dessen ebenso schöner wie kluger Herrscherin, deren magische Fähigkeiten sogar noch Owens eigene übertreffen. Gemeinsam schmieden die beiden einen riskanten Plan, um Severns grausame Herrschaft über Königsfall ein für alle Mal zu beenden.

Als junger Knabe kam Owen Kiskaddon als Geisel an den Hof des grausamen Königs Severn. Inzwischen ist Owen ein junger Mann und durch seine einzigartige magische Begabung in der Gunst des Königs gestiegen. Doch dann strebt ein Usurpator nach der Krone Severns und der König ergreift daraufhin drastische Maßnahmen. Er setzt Elysabeth - die Enkelin eines adeligen Lords und Owens große Liebe - als Lockvogel ein, um seinen Gegner in die Knie zu zwingen. Owen ist hin- und hergerissen: Soll er seinem König treu dienen oder für die Frau seines Lebens alles riskieren?

Seit Jahrhunderten befindet sich Königsfall im Krieg mit seinen Nachbarn, und auch im Inneren des Reiches herrschen Intrigen und Kämpfe. König Severn, so munkelt man, tötete sogar seine eigenen Neffen, um an die Macht zu gelangen. Verrat bestraft er augenblicklich mit dem Tod. Als ihn einer seiner Lords hintergeht, fordert Severn dessen schüchternen Sohn Owen als Geisel, der wie ein Lamm unter Wölfen zu sein scheint. Bis der Junge Verbündete am Hof findet und erkennt, dass in ihm etwas ganz Besonderes steckt.

The orphaned Bingmei didn't choose to be a hero. She has no wish to cross the Death Wall to save the world. But she has awakened Echion, emperor of the Grave Kingdom and Dragon of Night, and it is her destiny to defy him. From his imperial city of ancient sorcery and immortal darkness, Echion conspires to fulfill his own destiny: vanquish Bingmei, revive his queen, and rule together for another eon unchallenged.

Survivor of a combat school, the orphaned Bingmei belongs to a band of mercenaries employed by a local ruler. Now the nobleman, and collector of rare artifacts, has entrusted Bingmei and the skilled team with a treacherous assignment: brave the wilderness’s dangers to retrieve the treasures of a lost palace buried in a glacier valley. But upsetting its tombs has a price.

To defeat an immortal evil, a young warrior must enter the land of the dead in the spellbinding conclusion to Wall Street Journal bestselling author Jeff Wheeler’s epic Grave Kingdom trilogy.

If there is anything more dangerous than the Plague itself, it is the journey that awaits those sworn to stop it. Tyrus, the renegade magic-wielder exiled from Kenatos, knows this firsthand. His original mission through the Scourgelands met a tragic end, leaving him as the sole survivor.

Rumors stir of a hidden child who can stop the devastating plagues — and the race to find her has begun. The ruthless ruler of Kenatos, the Arch-Rike, and the people pledged to stopping him will do anything to make sure they’re the ones to reach her first. Because even though young Phae may be unaware that she is the long-lost daughter of Tyrus — the Arch-Rike’s rival — there is no mistaking her gift.

For now, the centuries-long war between mortalkind and the Aesir is quiet. Yet not over. With the coming of winter, a season in which the Aesir thrive, they will resurface. Only two people, united by magic, can stop them. But first they’ll have to survive more imminent threats to their lives. Robinson Hawksley is of the tragic belief that his beloved wife, McKenna, has perished in a sorcerer’s fire—just as he is about to ascend to the highest rank in the magic order of the Invisible College.

Deep in the mountains lies a valley with a secret to immortality—Clairvaux—where the Queen Mother reigns supreme. Hidden within the cliffs and rocky paths and shrouded by waterfalls, the Gallows Tree grows immortal fruit. But only the loyal angel sworn can partake and live forever, weaving magic with grafting wands and bonding to animals to borrow their powers while balancing the good in all living things.

Millennia ago, a magical race called the Aesir found a new home on a distant world. Attracted to the cold during an ice age, they hibernated for hundreds of years at a time. With each awakening, however, they saw their world changed by ever-evolving mortals encroaching on their territory and way of life. Two civilizations with opposing magic, poised to clash over and over. Now, the Aesir are awakening to wage a new war—this time to exterminate their enemy once and for all.

It began as a death-defying ritual in the Yucatán. Jonathon Roth and his family were pawns in an inconceivable endgame. Jacob Calakmul was its depraved and mystifying mastermind destined to fulfill an ancient prophecy, destroy the government, and bring about his personal Armageddon. Exposing the unbelievable truth to the authorities has made Roth’s life a nightmare.

What humankind feared the most has come to pass: the Awakening of the Aesir, an ancient race who rose with an implacable vengeance to wage war on mortals through bombardments and plague. Two people gifted with magic and ingenuity strive to stop them. Professor Robinson Hawksley, an elocutionist in the Invisible College, prepares to exhibit his invention to the world. Using sound to defeat the enemy could change the course of the war. It’s invaluable to the military. Even more so to a conniving rival who’ll do anything to prove its patent as her own.
