Dorian Hunter hat seine acht dämonischen Brüder zur Strecke gebracht. Bleibt noch Asmodi, das Oberhaupt der Schwarzen Familie! Die Spur führt Hunter zusammen mit seinem Begleiter, dem Journalisten Armand Melville, auf ein Eiland im Mittelmeer vor Sizilien, das angeblich Asmodis Rückzugsgebiet darstellt. Doch auf der Insel wimmelt es vor magischen Fallen – und als Armand Melville vier Tage später allein zurückkehrt, fehlt von Hunter jede Spur.

Der Dämonen-Killer Dorian Hunter hat mit dem FBI-Agenten Tim Morton einen weiteren Verbündeten im Kampf gegen die Schwarze Familie gewonnen. In New York lernt Hunter Mortons Gehilfen, die sogenannten "Freaks", kennen – ausgestoßene Dämonen, die einst selbst der Schwarzen Familie angehörten. Zwischen den Dämonen und den Freaks von New York herrscht ein brüchiger Waffenstillstand. Doch dann findet man einen toten Freak vor Hunters Hotelzimmer – und der unversöhnliche Hass der Ausgestoßenen findet ein neues Ziel.

However, as she forms an unlikely friendship with the prince, she learns that the future may not be so certain.

Behind every woman scorned is probably a person who made her that way. For me, it was more than one. It was an entire pack. I was exiled for exposing a murderous traitor. I was rejected by my mate, our bond shattered forever. Even after being chosen by our goddess, my powers and title will never be enough for them to stand by me. Now plagued by frequent and debilitating visions of battle and death, my mates and I must fight to assemble an army with no one but our goddess at our back.

Una donna. Che nasce ebrea e muore in quanto ebrea e sarà santificata dalla Chiesa cattolica. Che diventa l'allieva prediletta di uno dei più grandi filosofi del Novecento e a cui verrà negata la carriera accademica. Che si impegna per i diritti delle donne e si farà suora di clausura. Una vita sempre in prima linea: dalle aule universitarie agli ospedali da campo della prima guerra mondiale, dalla scelta appassionata della conversione all'orrore di Auschwitz. Edith Stein è un luminosissimo enigma, una storia di una chiarezza cristallina che getta ombre in ogni direzione, mutevoli

Twenty-eight-year-old Cassie Strega can't escape fate. All she wants is to live a normal, quiet life delivering the babies in her small town. But when she discovers she comes from a lineage of witches, her life becomes extraordinary - in the gravely dangerous type of way. Orion, the sultry Fae warrior who broke her heart years before, is searching for a baby. Not just any baby, but the queen of the Fae who will one day lead them in their final battle against the demons determined to rule the world. The same baby who has been calling to Cassie for help in her dreams.

After two of his buddies found love through the military's matchmaking program, Lucas Craiger decides to give it a shot. He's not necessarily looking for love, just companionship and a kind, reliable stepmom for his young son. When he's assigned to his high school sweetheart who shattered his heart, his plan for an uncomplicated relationship becomes acutely complicated.

Adeline Rodriguez left her violent past behind to start over in Verona Bay. Now, a successful co-owner in a local pet grooming business, she’s made a life for herself in this idyllic community, and she has real friends. Thanks to her past, the only thing she hasn’t mastered yet is a real relationship. And when circumstances lead her to finally let her guard down with the sexy Mac Collins, he completely ghosts her. Her first instinct is to close herself off again, but she decides to confront him instead - and that fateful decision puts her directly in the crosshairs of a killer.

No one survived the last battle unscathed. Flint is angry at the world, Jaxon is turning into something I don't recognize, and Hudson has put up a wall I'm not sure I'll ever break through. Now war is coming, and we're not ready. We're going to need an army to have any hope of winning. But first, there are questions about my ancestors that need answers. Answers that might just reveal who the real monster is among us. And that's saying something in a world filled with bloodthirsty vampires, immortal gargoyles, and an ancient battle between two gods.

The fugitive slave Ghu has ended the assassin Ahjvar's century-long possession by a murderous and hungry ghost, but at great cost. Heir of the dying gods of Nabban, he is drawn back to the empire he fled as a boy, journeying east on the caravan road with Ahjvar at his side.

My entire life, I was groomed to be the perfect leader for my pack, but the day they were slaughtered changed everything. I search for answers, desperate for retribution, but every secret I uncover makes me challenge everything I’ve ever known. With my fated mate by my side, we face down the enemy, determined to give them a name and a face. What we discover is worse than we imagined. Things aren’t what they seem, and we might not recognize each other when it's all over.

Fight or flight only works when you know who you're up against. There's no running from an enemy who is constantly several steps ahead. The best you can do is stand and face them. Finding my mate should have been a time to rejoice, not the catalyst for disaster. The closer we become, the more danger we find ourselves in. Shocking revelations and buried secrets surface, only reinforcing the truth that Griffin and I are in big trouble. One thing is clear, we can’t win if we don’t even know who we’re up against. I’m not quite sure if we’ll be able to make it out alive.

There's nothing pretty about war - blood, death, pain...that's all it brings. And this one has already taken its sacrifice. But there's no choice anymore - we need this new world and fighting is the only way. Damien, Theo, Killian, Ryder, Hiro, Joshua, and I face more challenges than ever before, death a shadow over us that even I'm not safe from.

I'd thought running from the Council would keep my family safe. Instead, it has exposed new dangers - undercurrents I never knew existed. With Joshua left behind enemy lines and threats emerging from all sides, I have to do all I can to protect my mates and bring my newfound family together again. As Damien, Theo, Ryder, Hiro, Killian, and I work to find our place among the rebellion and face the Council, I can't escape the feeling that something else is coming for us in the dark, Alaskan winter.

Possessed by a ghost who feeds on death, the undying assassin Ahjvar the Leopard has been captured by the Lady of Marakand, enslaved by necromancy to be captain of her Red Masks. His shield-bearer Ghu, a former slave with an uncanny ability to free the captive dead, follows Ahjvar into the war-torn lands of the Duina Catairna to release him, even if that means destroying what is left of Ahj's tormented soul.

What would happen to a dragon if her mate refused her? This was the question that plagued Kayda. I’d barely come to terms with the possibility that I’d be inexplicably and unintentionally be drawn to someone I barely knew. I’d struggled to understand how I could have a need for someone when I’d always been so independent before. And I had no idea what was supposed to happen next. Honestly, I’d feel more comfortable with a blood sacrifice to Satanists than I would being tied to a wolf shifter. Or any shifter. Or any man. Trusting men was how I ended up like this.

Ci sono pochi posti nel mondo dove il divario tra quello che crediamo di sapere e quello che sappiamo è tanto ampio quanto nel caso degli Stati Uniti. L'influenza statunitense nei nostri consumi è così longeva che pensiamo di conoscere bene l'America quando in realtà, nella gran parte dei casi, la nostra idea è un impasto di luoghi comuni e poche informazioni concrete. Convinti che gli statunitensi siano tutti armati fino ai denti, non sappiamo, per esempio, che la metà delle armi in circolazione in America è posseduta dal 3 per cento della popolazione.

As the future pack leader of the Silver Wolves, my life was carefully planned: Stay hidden, and learn to fight. In an instant, everything changes. My pack was slaughtered by an unknown enemy. Alone and unsure who to trust, I search for safety.

Ahjvar, the assassin known as the Leopard, wants only to die, to end the curse that binds him to a life of horror. Although he has no reason to trust the goddess Catairanach or her messenger Deyandara, fugitive heir to a murdered tribal queen, desperation leads him to accept her bargain: If he kills the mad prophet known as the Voice of Marakand, Catairanach will free him of his curse.

Em sua obra mais recente, Francis Chan, autor de Louco amor, desafia o leitor a avaliar a organização atual e a relevância (ou irrelevância) da igreja para o mundo em que vivemos. E, mais importante, quão próxima ou distante ela está do que as Escrituras apontam como o seu propósito, que é sinalizar o reino de Deus.
