""A book to rival TWILIGHT and VAMPIRE DIARIES, and one that will have you wanting to keep reading until the very last page! If you are into adventure, love and vampires this book is the one for you!"" –Vampirebooksite.com (Turned) BETROTHED is Book #6 in the Bestselling series THE VAMPIRE JOURNALS, which begins with TURNED (Book #1)! In BETROTHED (Book #6 in the Vampire Journals), Caitlin and Caleb find themselves, once again, back in time—this time, in the London of 1599. London in 1599 is a wild place, filled with paradoxes: while on the one hand it is an incredibly enlightened, sophisticated time, breeding playwrights like Shakespeare, on the other, it is also barbaric and cruel, with daily public executions, torture, and heads of prisoners impaled on spikes. It is also a time of superstition and grave public danger, with a lack of sanitation, and the Bubonic Plague spreading in the streets, carried by rats. In this environment Caitlin and Caleb land, on the search for her father, for the third key, for the mythical shield that can save humankind. Their mission takes them through a whirlwind of London’s most amazing medieval architecture, through the British countryside’s most breathtaking castles. It takes them back into the heart of London, where they just might meet Shakespeare himself, and see one of his plays live. It brings them to a little girl, Scarlet, who just might become their daughter. And all the while, Caitlin’s love for Caleb deepens, as finally they are together—and as Caleb might just finally find the perfect time, and place, to propose to her. Sam and Polly have traveled back, too, and as they find themselves stuck together on their own journey, their relationship deepens, as they each, despite themselves, can’t help feeling more deeply for each other. But all is not well. Kyle has come back, too, as has his evil sidekick, Sergei, and they are both intent on destroying everything good in Caitlin’s life. It will be a race to the finish, as Caitlin is forced to make some of the hardest decisions of her life if she is to save everyone who is dear to her, save her relationship with Caleb—and try to make it out alive.

Thor ucieka z lochów i z przerażeniem dowiaduje się o kolejnej próbie zamachu na życie króla MacGila. Kiedy MacGil umiera, królestwo pogrąża się w chaosie. Rywalizacja o koronę przybiera na sile, a królewski dwór przepełniają rodzinne tragedie, walka o wpływy, korzyści i przywileje. Towarzyszy temu zazdrość, przemoc i zdrada.

Thor walczy o odzyskanie względów Gwendolyn, ale ma coraz mniej czasu: otrzymuje bowiem rozkaz spakowania się i wyruszenia z towarzyszami broni na Rytuał Stu Dni: wyczerpującą, koszmarną, trwającą sto dni wyprawę, którą wszyscy członkowie legionu muszą przetrwać. Przekraczając kanion, opuszczają bezpieczne tereny Kręgu. Przemierzają Wilds, aby w końcu zaokrętować się i przebyć Morze Turtuwiańskie z zamiarem dotarcia do Wyspy Mgieł, którą rzekomo patroluje smok.

Marşul Regilor
„INELUL VRĂJITORULUI are toate ingredientele pentru a deveni un succes imediat: comploturi, contrauneltiri, mister, cavaleri curajoşi şi relaţii înfloritoare, pline de inimi zdrobite, decepţie şi trădare. Vă va delecta ore în şir şi va satisface cititorii de toate vârstele. Recomandată pentru biblioteca permanentă a tuturor cititorilor de ficţiune.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos MARŞUL REGILOR ne duce cu un pas mai departe în călătoria eroică a lui Thor spre maturitate, pe măsură ce acesta începe să înţeleagă mai bine cine este, ce sunt puterile sale, când se hotărăşte să devină un războinic. După ce scapă din temniţă, Thor este îngrozit să afle de o altă tentativă de asasinare a lui MacGil. Când MacGil moare, întregul regat intră în criză. Cum toată lumea se luptă pentru tron, Curtea Regală este sfâşiată, mai mult ca niciodată, în drame de familie, lupte pentru putere, ambiţie, gelozie, violenţă şi trădare. Trebuie ales un moştenitor dintre copii, iar străvechea Sabie a Destinului, sursa întregii lor puteri, va fi mânuită de un nou venit. Dar totul se complică: arma crimei este recuperată şi laţul care va prinde asasinul se strânge. În acelaşi timp, cei din clanul MacGil înfruntă o nouă ameninţare a celor din clanul McCloud, care plănuiesc să îi atace din nou din interiorul Inelului. Thor luptă să recâştige dragostei lui Gwendolyn, dar nu are timp: i se cere să-şi strângă lucrurile, să se pregătească, împreună cu camarazii săi de arme, pentru Sută, cele o sută de zile istovitoare de iad, cărora toţi cei din Legiune trebuie să le supravieţuiască. Pentru proba bărbăţiei, Legiunea trebuie să traverseze Canionul, dincolo de protecţia Inelului, în Sălbăticie şi să navigheze pe Marea Tartuvian spre Insula Ceţii, despre care se spune că e păzită de un dragon. Oare vor reuşi să se întoarcă? Va supravieţui oare Inelul în absenţa lor? Va afla Thor, în cele din urmă, secretul destinului său? Cu modul sofisticat în care creează şi descrie lumi, CALEA EROILOR este o epopee despre prieteni şi îndrăgostiţi, despre rivali şi pretendenţi, despre cavaleri şi dragoni, intrigi şi conspiraţii politice, despre iniţiere, inimi zdrobite, decepţie, ambiţie şi trădare. Este o poveste despre onoare şi curaj, despre soartă şi destin, despre magie. E o ficţiune care ne duce într-o lume pe care nu o vom uita niciodată şi care cucereşte oameni de toate vârstele şi sexele. Cărţile 2-13 din serie sunt de asemenea disponibile acum!
Hjältars Väg
“TROLLKARLENS RING har allt som krävs för att bli en riktig succé: intriger och motintriger, mysterier, tappra riddare och spirande förälskelser, brustna hjärtan och svek. Det här är många timmars underhållning, och något för alla åldrar. Ett måste i varje fantasyläsares bokhylla.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos #1 På topplistan! En ny, fantastisk fantasyserie från bästsäljarförfattaren Morgan Rice! HJÄLTARS VÄG (första delen av TROLLKARLENS RING) är den storslagna berättelsen om en alldeles särskild pojke, en fjortonåring från en liten by i utkanten av Ringens kungarike. Yngst av fyra syskon, minst omtyckt av sin far och avskydd av sina tre bröder har Thorgrin en känsla av att han är annorlunda. Han drömmer om att en dag bli en stor krigare, om att bli en av kungens män och skydda Ringen från de vilda horder av fiender som lever på den andra sidan Klyftan. När han väl har åldern inne, men förbjuds av sin far att ens försöka bli uttagen till kungens legion så vägrar han att ge upp: han ger sig av på egen hand, fast besluten att ta sig till Kungsgård för att bli tagen på allvar. Men Kungsgård är en plats full av familjeintriger, maktkamp, ambitioner, avund, våld och svek. Kung MacGil måste välja ett av sina barn till arvinge, och det uråldriga Ödessvärdet – källan till all makt – ligger fortfarande orört, i väntan på att den utvalde skall komma. Thorgrin är en främling och kämpar för att bli accepterad och tas in i Legionen. Thorgrin inser att han har märkliga krafter som han inte ens själv kan förstå, att han har en särskild gåva och ett särskilt öde. Mot alla odds förälskar han sig i kungens dotter, och fastän deras förbjudna kärlek växer så upptäcker han att han har mäktiga rivaler. När han kämpar för att förstå sina krafter tas han i beskydd av kungens trollkarl, som berättar om den mor han aldrig träffat, i ett land långt i fjärran, bortom Klyftan och till och med bortom drakarnas land. Innan Thorgrin kan ge sig ut i världen för att bli den krigare han önskar måste han först avsluta sin träning. Men allt kan ta slut redan innan det börjat eftersom han kastas rakt in i kungahusets intriger och ränker som hotar att ta ifrån honom hans kärlek och förgöra honom – och hela kungariket. HJÄLTARS VÄG erbjuder ett sofistikerat världsbygge och spännande karaktärer. Det är en storslagen berättelse om vänner och älskande, rivaler och friare, riddare och drakar, intriger, politiska ränker, om att bli vuxen och brustna hjärtan, ambitioner och svek. Det är en berättelse om mod, om att finna sitt öde och om trolldom. Det är fantasy som för läsaren till en helt oförglömlig värld och som tilltalar alla åldrar och kön. Boken är 80000 ord. ”Eldfängd fantasy med en berättelse full av intriger och mysterier. Hjältars väg handlar i grunden om kampen för att växa i mod och leva för erfarenhet, personlig mognad och perfektion… För de som är på jakt efter ett rejält fantasyäventyr så levererar berättelsens huvudpersoner, berättargrepp och action en fartfylld räcka händelser som beskriver Thors utveckling från drömsk pojke till ung vuxen i kamp mot omöjliga odds för sin överlevnad… Och det här är bara början i vad som lovar att bli en helt storslagen serie för unga vuxna.” –Midwest Book Review (D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer)
Calea Eroilor
„INELUL VRĂJITORULUI are toate ingredientele pentru a deveni un succes imediat: uneltiri, contrauneltiri, mister, cavaleri curajoşi şi relaţii înfloritoare, pline de inimi zdrobite, decepţie şi trădare. Vă va delecta ore în şir şi va satisface cititorii de toate vârstele. Recomandată pentru biblioteca permanentă a tuturor cititorilor de ficţiune.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos Bestsellerul numărul 1, cu peste 500 de recenzii de cinci stele! Lui Morgan Rice, autorul numărul 1 de bestselleruri, îi datorăm debutul unei geniale noi serii epice şi de fantastice. CALEA EROILOR (PRIMA CARTE DIN SERIA INELUL VRĂJITORULUI) se bazează pe eroica poveste a maturizării unui băiat special, de numai 14 ani, dintr-un sat neînsemnat de la periferia Regatului Inelului. Cel mai tânăr dintre patru fraţi, cel mai puţin îndrăgit de tatăl său, urât de fraţi, Thorgrin simte că este diferit de ceilalţi. Visează să devină un mare războinic, să se alăture oamenilor Regelui şi să apere Inelul de hoardele de creaturi de pe cealaltă parte a Canionului. Când atinge vârsta la care răspunde pentru faptele sale, iar tatăl său îi interzice să participe la selecţia pentru Legiunea Regală, refuză să se supună interdicţiei: pleacă pe cont propriu, hotărât să-şi croiască drum spre Curtea Regelui şi să fie luat în serios. Dar Curtea Regală este plină de propriile drame de familie, lupte pentru putere, ambiţii, gelozie, violenţă şi trădare. Regele MacGil trebuie să-şi aleagă un moştenitor dintre copiii săi, iar Sabia Destinului, sursa întregii lor puteri, este încă neatinsă, aşteptând ca cel Ales să sosească. Thorgrin vine ca un intrus şi luptă pentru a fi acceptat şi pentru a fi primit în Legiunea Regală. Thorgrin ajunge să descopere că are puteri misterioase pe care nu le înţelege, că are un dar special şi un destin aparte. În ciuda tuturor adversităţilor, se îndrăgosteşte de fiica regelui şi, în timp ce relaţia lor înfloreşte, descoperă că are rivali puternici. În timp ce se luptă să-şi înţeleagă puterile, vrăjitorul Regelui îl ia sub aripa sa şi îi vorbeşte despre o mamă pe care nu o cunoscuse, dintr-un tărâm îndepărtat, de dincolo de Canion, de dincolo chiar şi de Ţinutul Dragonilor. Înainte ca Thorgrin să se aventureze în afara Inelului şi să devină războinicul care îşi doreşte să fie, trebuie să-şi completeze pregătirea. Dar aceasta este întreruptă brusc, căci se trezeşte propulsat în centrul comploturilor regale şi al contrauneltirilor, care îi pot ameninţa dragostea şi îl pot doborî−şi întregul regat odată cu el. Cu modul sofisticat în care creează şi descrie lumi, CALEA EROILOR este o epopee despre prieteni şi îndrăgostiţi, despre rivali şi pretendenţi, despre cavaleri şi dragoni, intrigi şi conspiraţii politice, despre iniţiere, inimi zdrobite, decepţie, ambiţie şi trădare.

Arena 3
“Shades of THE HUNGER GAMES permeate a story centered around two courageous teens determined to buck all odds in an effort to regain their loved ones. A believable, involving world, recommended for those who enjoy dystopian novels, powerful female characters, and stories of uncommon courage.” –Midwest Book Review, D. Donovan, eBook Reviewer (regarding Arena 1) ARENA 3 is book #3 in the Bestselling Survival Trilogy, which begins with ARENA 1, a free download. After nearly freezing to death on their trek north, Brooke and her small group wake to find themselves in civilization. They have found the utopian city, hidden deep in a remote stretch of Canada. They have heat, food, comfortable beds, clean clothes, and security. Finally, they have made it. As Brooke recovers, she meets the mysterious survivors who inhabit this city, and who vie for her love. She trains again, enhancing her fighting skills greatly under the wing of a new mentor, and matures into a woman. Brooke soon realizes, though, that being safe and secluded is not all there is to life. When she hears rumors of survivors underground, deep in America, fighting to restore order from the inside—her Dad possibly amongst them—Brooke finds herself facing the choice of a lifetime: to live in this perfect place, free and safe for the rest of her days, or to embark and fight for others’ freedom. It would be a journey, she knows, back through post-apocalyptic America, this time traveling west, across its breadth, in search of the rumored survivors, of her father. She would have to fight her way through a land transformed by apocalypse, try to survive a never-ending stream of dangers, roving packs of violent gangs, with few resources and fewer supplies. It would be a two thousand mile trek to a certain suicide. And if she leaves this utopia, she knows, there is no coming back. Yet that is not the worst of it: something else lies in her way. Arena 3. The greatest arena left in what was once America, the most brutal and dangerous of them all, the one from which no one survives. The one, she knows, that would test the very limit of all that she is. Will she risk it all for others? An action-packed dystopian thriller featuring a tough female heroine whom readers worldwide have fallen in love with, ARENA THREE is the shocking conclusion to the bestselling Survival Trilogy, and one that will leave you turning pages late into the night.

They sustain injuries, get sick, and the Hudson freezes over as they do their best to salvage what they can and avoid the slaverunners’ pursuit. They find a small island and think they have found respite—until events don’t go their way. It is not until they board a mysterious train to nowhere that they find that things can always get worse. Along the way, Brooke’s feelings for Logan intensify, as do her feelings for Ben. Torn between these two boys, caught between their jealousy, she is unsure how she feels—until events choose for her. As they find themselves thrown back into an arena, they are shocked to discover that Arena Two is even worse.
