The Wicked King The Folk of the Air 2
I have heard that for mortals, the feeling of falling in love is very like the feeling of fear.
Jude has tricked Cardan onto the throne, binding him to her for a year and a day. But the new High King does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her, even as his fascination with her remains undimmed. Meanwhile, a traitor in the court is scheming against her. Jude must fight for her life and the lives of those she loves, all while battling her own complicated feelings for Cardan. Now a year and a day seems like no time at all . . .
The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music
So, I've written a book.
Having entertained the idea for years, and even offered a few questionable opportunities ('It's a piece of cake! Just do four hours of interviews, find someone else to write it, put your face on the cover, and voila!'), I have decided to write these stories just as I have always done, in my own hand. The joy that I have felt from chronicling these tales is not unlike listening back to a song that I've recorded and can't wait to share with the world, or reading a primitive journal entry from a stained notebook, or even hearing my voice bounce between the Kiss posters on my wall as a child.
This certainly doesn't mean that I'm quitting my day job, but it does give me a place to shed a little light on what it's like to be a kid from Springfield, Virginia, walking through life while living out the crazy dreams I had as young musician. From hitting the road with Scream at 18 years old, to my time in Nirvana and the Foo Fighters, jamming with Iggy Pop or playing at the Academy Awards or dancing with AC/DC and the Preservation Hall Jazz Band, drumming for Tom Petty or meeting Sir Paul McCartney at Royal Albert Hall, bedtime stories with Joan Jett or a chance meeting with Little Richard, to flying halfway around the world for one epic night with my daughters...the list goes on. I look forward to focusing the lens through which I see these memories a little sharper for you with much excitement.

He thinks he knows who it is: a reformed Titan named Bob whom Percy and Annabeth had to leave behind when they escaped Hades's realm. Nico's dreams and Rachel Dare's latest prophecy leave little doubt in Nico's mind that Bob is in some kind of trouble. Nico has to go on this quest, whether Mr. D and Chiron like it or not. And of course Will insists on coming with.
But can a being made of light survive in the darkest part of the world? and what does the prophecy mean that Nico will have to "leave something of equal value behind?"
Nico will have to face demons both internal and external as his relationship with Will is tested to the core in this standalone adventure featuring two of the most popular characters in the Percy Jackson saga.

The Wicked King – A gonosz király (A levegő népe 2.)
Az első lecke az, hogy erősödj meg.
Miután kiderült a döbbenetes tény, hogy Oak Tündérfölde örököse, Jude-nak meg kell védenie az öccsét. Ennek érdekében magához láncolta a gonosz királyt, Cardant, akit a háttérből irányít. Tündérfölde folyton átrendeződő, intrikákkal teli politikai szövetségei között még akkor is nehéz lenne lavíroznia, ha Cardan mindenben engedelmeskedne neki. Csakhogy a király mindent megtesz, hogy megszégyenítse Jude-ot, és aláássa a hatalmát, hiába nyűgözi le továbbra is a lány.
És ha még mindez nem volna elég, egyértelművé válik, hogy egy Jude-hoz közeli személy el akarja őt árulni, és ezáltal veszélybe sodorná nemcsak a saját, hanem az összes szerette életét. Jude kénytelen az áruló után nyomozni, hogy halandóként magánál tarthassa a hatalmat a tündérvilágban.
És miközben a Cardan iránt érzett bonyolult érzelmeivel is viaskodik.
A New York Times bestseller The Cruel Prince – A kegyetlen herceg varázslattal és vérszomjjal teli folytatása.

Kingdom of the Wicked - Gonoszok királysága
Két nővér. Egy brutális gyilkosság.
Egy bosszúhadjárat... És egy mámorító szerelem.
Emilia és az ikertestvére, Vittoria strega - olyan boszorkányok,
akik az emberek között élnek, meghúzzák magukat, nehogy felfigyeljenek rájuk
és üldözni kezdjék őket. Egyik este Vittoria nem ér oda időben
a család híres-neves szicíliai éttermébe. Emilia hamarosan rábukkan
szeretett ikertestvére holttestére... amit felfoghatatlan módon megcsonkítottak.
Emilia összeroppan, és úgy dönt, bármi áron megkeresi a testvére gyilkosát,
hogy bosszút álljon - még akkor is, ha réges-rég tiltott
fekete mágiát kell használnia hozzá.
Később Emilia megismerkedik Haraggal, a pokol egyik bűnhercegével,
akitől már gyerekkora óta óva intik. Harag azt állítja, hogy Emilia oldalán áll,
és megbízást kapott arra, hogy derítse ki, ki gyilkolja a szigeten a nőket.
De amikor a Gonoszokról van szó, soha semmi nem az, aminek tűnik...
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
"Everything you would expect from Collins is
here: fraught teenage love; plenty of violence... the themes of
friendship, betrayal, authority and oppression will please and thrill"
The Guardian
"It works beautifully... please don't
make us wait another decade" The Times
Ambition will fuel him.
Competition
will drive him.
But power has its price.
It is the morning of the reaping that will kick off the tenth
annual Hunger Games. In the Capitol, eighteen-year-old Coriolanus
Snow is preparing for his one shot at glory as a mentor in the Games.
The once-mighty house of Snow has fallen on hard times, its
fate hanging on the slender chance that Coriolanus will be able
to outcharm, outwit, and outmaneuvre his fellow students to mentor
the winning tribute.
The odds are against him. He's been given the humiliating assignment
of mentoring the female tribute from District 12, the lowest
of the low. Their fates are now completely intertwined - ; every
choice Coriolanus makes could lead to favour or failure, triumph
or ruin. Inside the arena, it will be a fight to the death. Outside
the arena, Coriolanus starts to feel for his doomed tribute...
and must weigh his need to follow the rules against his desire
to survive no matter what it takes.
The Wicked Deep - Gonosz mélység
Köszöntünk az elátkozott városban, Sparrow-ban!
A Csendes-óceán partján fekvő városkában kétszáz évvel ezelőtt három nővért halálra ítéltek boszorkányságért. Köveket kötöttek a bokájukra, és a kikötő mély vizébe lökték őket.
Azóta minden nyáron visszatérnek egy kis időre, hogy három bájos lány testébe költözve bosszút álljanak – fiúkat csaljanak a kikötőbe, és vízbe fojtsák őket.
Mint a legtöbb helybeli, a tizenhét éves Penny Talbot is beletörődött a várost sújtó átokba. De ebben az évben, a nővérek visszatérésének előestéjén egy új fiú, Bo Carter érkezik a városba, akinek fogalma sincs róla, milyen veszedelembe csöppent.
A gyanú és a hazugságok gyorsan terjednek az eső áztatta utcákon. A városlakók egymás ellen fordulnak, Penny és Bo attól tart, hogy a másik titkokat rejteget. A halál pedig gyorsan utoléri azokat, akik nem tudnak ellenállni a nővérek csábításának.
Penny azonban olyasmit is lát, amit mások nem. És muszáj lesz választania, hogy Bót mentse meg, vagy saját magát.
Legyőzheti egy boszorkány az óceán szirénénekét?
