The #1 New York Times Bestseller! Return to the world of His Dark Materials—now an HBO original series starring Dafne Keen, Ruth Wilson, Andrew Scott, and Lin-Manuel Miranda—in the second volume of Philip Pullman’s new bestselling masterwork The Book of Dust. The windows between the many worlds have been sealed and the momentous adventures of Lyra Silvertongue’s youth are long behind her—or so she thought. Lyra is now a twenty-year-old undergraduate at St. Sophia’s College and intrigue is swirling around her once more. Her daemon Pantalaimon is witness to a brutal murder, and the dying man entrusts them with secrets that carry echoes from their past. The more Lyra is drawn into these mysteries, the less she is sure of. Even the events of her own past come into question when she learns of Malcolm Polstead’s role in bringing her to Jordan College. Now Lyra and Malcolm will travel far beyond the confines of Oxford, across Europe and into the Levant, searching for a city haunted by daemons, and a desert said to hold the truth of Dust. The dangers they face will challenge everything they thought they knew about the world, and about themselves. Praise for The Book of Dust “It’s a stunning achievement, this universe Pullman has created and continues to build on.” —The New York Times “Pullman’s writing is simple, unpretentious, beautiful, true. The conclusion to The Book of Dust can’t come soon enough.”—The Washington Post

Was ist, wenn wir auf einmal vergessen wie sich die Sonne anfühlt? Wenn wir die Wärme nicht mehr spüren können? Wenn ein Tag dem anderen gleicht und wir wissen, dass wir einfach funktionieren müssen. "Du bist nichts, du wirst nie etwas sein. Du bist ein Niemand.", dröhnte es in seinem Kopf. "Niemand. Niemand. Niemand.", hallte es nach. Die grauen Menschen, grauen Tiere und grauen Objekte bahnten sich ihren Weg nach draußen. Getrieben von einem inneren Instinkt, folgten sie der großen, grauen, leblosen Masse. Ohne nachzudenken, ohne zu realisieren. Und auch Rahim folgte dem grauen Trott... Nicht nur der junge Rahim ist gefangen in seiner inneren Welt und einer immergleichen Gedankenspirale: Auch ein verbitterter alter Mann sitzt seine Zeit in einem Cafe ab und hadert mit seinem Leben. Was hat ihn zu der Person gemacht, die er heute ist? Und sind alle Entscheidungen, die wir treffen, wirklich frei?

Wenn das mein letzter Sommer wäre, würde sich die Sonne dann wärmer und der See kälter anfühlen? Wäre dann nicht alles anders, wenn wir wüssten es hat ein Ende? Würden wir öfter stehenbleiben, um einfach nur wahrzunehmen, statt weiterzugehen und alles auf fantasielosen Fotos festzuhalten? Liv spricht nicht über letzten Sommer oder darüber weshalb sie immer ihre kleine schwarze Aktentasche bei sich trägt. Sie schweigt. Doch als Paolo Marcos herausfinden will weshalb letzten Sommer zwei Jungs verschwunden sind, kann auch sie die Vergangenheit nicht länger zurückhalten.

Bestselling author Jennifer Estep returns to her Crown of Shards world with an all-new trilogy and a bold new heroine who protects her kingdom from magic, murder, and mayhem by moonlighting as a spy. Gemma Ripley has a reputation for being a pampered princess who is more interested in pretty gowns, sparkling jewelry, and other frivolous things than learning how to rule the kingdom of Andvari. But her carefully crafted persona is just an act to hide the fact that Gemma is a powerful mind magier—and a spy. Gemma is undercover, trying to figure out who is stealing large amounts of tearstone from one of the Ripley royal mines when she encounters Prince Leonidas Morricone of Morta—her mortal enemy. Gemma tries to steer clear of the handsome prince, but when she finds herself behind enemy lines, she reluctantly joins forces with Leo. Also coming to Gemma’s aid is Grimley, her beloved gargoyle. Despite the fact that Andvari and Morta are old, bitter enemies, a dangerous attraction sparks between Gemma and Leo. Further complicating matters is Leo’s murderous family, especially Queen Maeven Morricone, the mastermind behind the infamous Seven Spire massacre. The closer Gemma gets to the stolen tearstone, the more deadly plots she uncovers. Everyone is trying to capture the crown, but only one queen can sit on the throne …

"Schokolade schmeckt. Pommes schmecken. Hamburger schmecken. Aber nichts schmeckt so gut, wie das Gefühl, dünn zu sein. So zumindest Kate Moss. Und die unzähligen Stimmen in meinem Kopf, die nun Teil von mir sind und es immer sein werden." Dass Schönheitsideale unsere Generation beeinflussen und lenken, sollte allgemein bekannt sein. Doch dass diese auch tödliche Folgen mit sich bringen können, ignorieren viele. So auch die 17 Jährige Ruth, die schneller in eine Essstörung verfällt, als sie diese überhaupt erkennen kann. Der Leser muss handlungsunfähig miterleben, wie sie sich in ihren inneren Feind verliebt und diesen als ihren engsten Verbündeten ansieht. Dabei schließt ihr Partner nur einen Bund mit dem Tod, was ihr mittlerweile gleichgültig zu sein scheint. Solange sie dünn ist. Wie Kate Moss.

She likes to break the rules, considers partying an extracurricular activity, and can’t stand her parents. So, most people aren’t surprised when she goes missing. Like everyone else, Samantha McGregor assumes Kayla has run away. But then she has a vision where Kayla is tied up with duct tape over her mouth. Freaked by the image, Samantha wonders, Is Kayla alive or dead? Was the vision real or just a silly dream? Most important, can Kayla be found before it’s too late? Reaader's Guide Included! Story Behind the Book “The secular world has become very interested in ‘supernatural’ gifts. Take, for example, shows like Joan of Arcadia , The Medium, Monk, and Dead Zone . Yet it’s God who gives every good and perfect gift. My guess is that we humans barely tap into the vast variety of gifts that He has to offer. Not only that, but our fast-paced, high-tech culture rarely relies on those good ‘old-fashioned’ character traits like insight, intuition, wisdom, and foresight. My hope is that this series will provide a fun way for teens to explore deeper levels of spirituality and creativity while inspiring them to a greater love for God.” — Melody Carlson
