      Devon: jong, succesvol zangeres en actrice. Heeft enkele drank- en drugsescapades achter de rug, maar is vastbesloten om haar come back te maken. Summer: jong, zangeres en beginnend actrice. Naar eigen zeggen klaar voor haar grote doorbraak en bovenal vastbesloten om teenqueen Devon van haar troon te stoten. Casey: gezegend met de leukste bijbaan ooit als personal assistant van haar hartsvriendin Summer. Volgt haar naar St. Tropez, werkt keihard en geniet van de wereld van de rich & famous. Livia: dochter van bekend filmproducent en dankzij het verlies van een groot aantal kilo’s ineens meer hot dan not. Moet nog wennen aan haar nieuwe status als IT-girl en ondervindt dat niet alles makkelijker is als je het gesprek van de dag bent. St. Tropez: dé plek in Europa waar de jetset ‘s zomers geniet van zon, zee en hippe feestjes. Een plek waar alles draait om zien en gezien worden. De plek waar de levens van deze vier meiden bij elkaar komen. Maar vooral ook een plek waar - net als in Hollywood - lang niet alles is wat het lijkt.

    • Book two in the #1 New York Times best-selling Descendants series--now in the wickedly fun, action-packed graphic novel! Mal's an expert at intimidating her enemies, but she's broken the habit since leaving her villainous roots behind. So when she and her friends Evie, Carlos, and Jay all receive threatening messages demanding they return home, Mal can't believe it. Sure, she's King Ben's girlfriend now, and she's usually nice to her classmates, but she still didn't think anyone would be silly enough to try to push her around. The thing is, it kind of worked. Especially since she and her friends have a sneaking suspicion that their villainous parents are behind the messages. And when Evie looks into her Magic Mirror, what she sees only confirms their fears. Maleficent's just a tiny lizard after her run-in with Mal at Ben's Coronation, but she's the worst villain in the land for a reason. Could she have found a way to escape? Whatever's going on, Mal, Evie, Carlos, and Jay know they have to sneak back to the Isle and get to the bottom of it. Without its infamous leader, the island's even worse than when they left it, but the comforts of home-even a home as gloomy as the Isle of the Lost-can be hard to resist for recently reformed villains. Will the kids be able to beat the evil bubbling at the Isle's wicked core, or will the plot to destroy Auradon succeed?

      From the New York Times bestselling author of Blue Bloods and Isle of the Lost (a Disney Decendants novel)--the powerful trilogy that’s been compared to Game of Thrones continues in this sequel to Frozen! Nat and her drakon are the last of their kind—sworn to protect what their enemies seek to control—and she’s risked her life for their reunion. But fighting for the majestic Blue meant saying goodbye to Wes, breaking both their hearts. Back in New Vegas, citizens are threatened by the resurgence of magic and declare war on all the marked. Wes and his team travel to the extravagant indoor city of El Dorado looking for his sister, but when they are caught on the wrong side of the RSA’s strict new laws, Wes is forced to do the unthinkable—surrender and rejoin the military's quest to uncover the magical source, the same land Nat is struggling to protect. Now he and Nat find themselves on opposing sides of a war that could potentially destroy what’s left of the world. “As fearless as a futuristic Game of Thrones.” —Margaret Stohl “A thought-provoking novel, part epic fantasy and part social commentary.”—Entertainment Weekly on Frozen: Heart of Dread, Book One
