    • Streuner willkommen! Eine neue herzerwärmende Cozy Fantasy mit Katzen von der Bestseller-Autorin Heather Fawcett. Agnes Aubert führt ein akribisch organisiertes Leben, und das muss sie auch. Denn als Chefin einer dringend benötigten Katzenzuflucht ist sie oft die Einzige, die zwischen ihren geliebten Katzen und dem sicheren Tod steht. Als sie umziehen muss, erfährt Agnes, dass ihr neuer Vermieter der Dunkle Lord Havelock Renard ist, der das Heim nur als Fassade für seinen völlig illegalen Zauberladen benutzt. Dass Renard mit seiner verbotenen Magie einmal beinahe die Apokalypse herbeigeführt hat, macht ihn nicht sympathischer. Agnes ist das erstmal herzlich egal – ihre Sorge gilt allein den Katzen. Doch als ein Feind aus Renards Vergangenheit auftaucht, muss Agnes Partei ergreifen und ihr Organisationstalent für etwas dunklere Zweck einsetzen: den Schutz des Mannes, der als einer der größten Verbrecher des Jahrhunderts gilt.

    • A curmudgeonly professor journeys to a small town to study faerie folklore, where she discovers dark fae magic, friendship, and love, in this heart-warming and enchanting fantasy. Emily Wilde is good at many things: she is the foremost expert on the study of faeries. She is a genius scholar and a meticulous researcher who is writing the world's first encylopaedia of faerie lore. But Emily Wilde is not good at people. She could never make small talk at a party - much less get invited to one. Emily prefers the company of her books, her dog Shadow, and the Fair Folk to that of friends or lovers. So when she arrives in the hardscrabble village of Hransvik, Emily has no intention of befriending the gruff townsfolk. Nor does she care to spend time with another new arrival: her dashing and insufferably handsome academic rival Wendell Bambleby, who manages to charm the townsfolk, get in the middle of her research, and utterly confound and frustrate Emily. But as Emily gets closer and closer to uncovering the secrets of the Hidden Ones - the most elusive of all faeries - lurking in the shadowy forest outside the town, she also finds herself on the trail of another mystery: who is Wendell Bambleby, and what does he really want? To find the answer, she'll have to unlock the greatest mystery of all - her own heart.
