Kristin Cashore Boeken

Er heerst onrust in de Dalen. De troon van de jonge koning Nash wankelt. Zowel in het noorden als in het zuiden mobiliseren opstandige landheren hun troepen en beramen snode plannen om Nash af te zetten. Een oorlog is onafwendbaar. In de wouden en de bergen wemelt het van de spionnen en schurken. De onrust in het land bedreigt ook de wereld van Vlam, half vrouw, half monster. Haar verbijsterende schoonheid laat niemand onverschillig en lokt de meest extreme reacties uit, van mannen én van vrouwen. Haat en liefde beheersen haar leven en maken een normaal bestaan zo goed als onmogelijk. Haar redding, maar ook haar vloek is het vermogen de gedachten en gevoelens van de mensen om haar heen te beheersen. De enige die niet gevoelig lijkt voor haar invloed is Prins Brigan... Vuur is de prequel van het spannende De gave van Katsa en speelt zich zo’n dertig jaar eerder af...

A new novel from Kristin Cashore, set in the same world as GRACELING and FIRE

The fifth novel in the bestselling and award-winning Graceling Realm series focuses on Hava, Queen Bitterblue's spy, and her harrowing journey back to Monsea after the events of 2021's Winterkeep. In the immediate aftermath of the events of Winterkeep, Bitterblue and her entourage begin the journey back to Monsea with the only copies of the formulas for the zilphium weapon. Bitterblue must decide what she will do with her world-shaping power. But before they've even made it halfway home, storms drive their ship off course and then they wreck in the ice far north of the Royal Continent. The survivors must make a harrowing trek across the ice in order to make it back to Monsea. Seasparrow is told entirely from the point of view of Hava, Bitterblue's personal spy and secret half sister. And while Bitterblue grapples with how to carry the responsibility of a weapon of mass destruction, Hava must decide what she will do with herself in the new world Bitterblue will make.

In a world where some people are born with extreme and often-feared skills called Graces, Katsa struggles for redemption from her own horrifying Grace, the Grace of killing, and teams up with another young fighter to save their land from a corrupt king

A new land has been discovered to the east. Winterkeep is a land of miracles, a democratic republic run by people who like each other, where people speak to telepathic sea creatures, adopt telepathic foxes as pets, and fly across the sky in ships attached to balloons. But when Bitterblue's envoys to Winterkeep drown under suspicious circumstances, she and Giddon and her half-sister, Hava, set off to discover the truth--putting both Bitterblue's life and Giddon's heart to the test when Bitterblue is kidnapped. Giddon believes she has drowned, leaving him and Hava to solve the mystery of what's wrong in Winterkeep. Lovisa Cavenda is the teenage daughter of a powerful Scholar and Industrialist (the opposing governing parties) with a fire inside her that is always hungry, always just nearly about to make something happen. She is the key to everything, but only if she can figure out what's going on before anyone else, and only if she's willing to transcend the person she's been all her life.

"Recently orphaned Jane accepts an unexpected invitation from an old acquaintance to an island mansion where she will face five choices that could ultimately determine the course of her newly untethered life"--
