The beginning of a thrilling Romantasy saga full of secrets and magic!

Chiara has been taught her whole life to stay in the background. Her role in the service of Crown Princess Isida is to use her word magic to create images and illusions, bringing stories to life.

She is to deceive and spy on the enemy. Chiara has no choice. Although she dreads a fate at the side of the ruthless barbarian prince, she sets off on the journey. But the perilous journey turns out differently than expected. Gradually, Chiara begins to realize the true strength that lies within her and that life has more to offer than obedience and duty…

A dragon sacrifices nothing – least of all its freedom. 

Cassim is a traitor. To free himself and the other dragon shifters from the cruel rule of the King of Eldeya, he stops at nothing, committing any crime necessary. Even his rider, Yessa, was merely a means to an end for him. But what was once an enemy has long since become something more, and his love for her could now cost him everything. If he stays with her, he risks his life. If he leaves her, he defies the will of the gods. And if she learns the full extent of his deeds, she will hate him forever…

A dragon rider does not love – especially not her dragon.

The opening to the new grand Romantasy trilogy by Spiegel bestselling author Marie Niehoff.

In the army of Eldeya, relationships between riders and dragon shifters are strictly forbidden. Violations are punished by death. But when Captain Yessa Hayes is assigned a new dragon, it quickly becomes clear to her that following this rule will be difficult. Cassim exerts an unexpected attraction on her. And the more she looks behind his closed, suspicious demeanor, the more intense the forbidden spark between them becomes. Yessa fights with all her might against her growing feelings, for even a wrong glance could seal her fate. Little does she know that the greatest danger to her life comes from Cassim himself…

Experience the epic finale of the popular Romantasy trilogy Nordic Myths, hidden powers, and a love that can break the ice. Strong heroines fight for love and freedom. Captivating, humorous, and profound, told by Spiegel bestselling author Anna Fleck.

"Promise me," Erik's voice whispered in my memory. "If we meet again and I am not myself—then kill me." "Do it, Elvy!" Ys commanded, as if he had read my thoughts, and stepped closer. "Because if you don't... you are mine!" Elvy has managed to escape the Snow Fortress. Together with her Aelfar friend Simàja, she travels to the mysterious mermaids, her last hope in the fight against the Snow Queen. But the Frost Prince Ys is hot on their heels—neither in the waking world nor in dreams is Elvy safe from him. A race against time begins, for already on the near midwinter night, the fate of Ymatàja and the human world will be decided. Elvy must face her greatest fears: Can she defeat Ys only by killing her great love, Erik? As the great battle approaches, Elvy puts everything on the line and trusts her Frost Star…

Behind the Ice - Elvy fights for Erik's love! 

“A dress of northern lights, a crown of ice crystals,” Ys whispered in my ear. “For you, Elvy. Become my princess, and I will lay an entire world at your feet.” “Counterproposal,” I pressed out, looking him straight in his unbearably beautiful, ice-blue eyes. “You let me go, and I will return with an army to destroy your mistress.” In search of Erik, Elvy has reached the enchanted land beyond the ice – but here she encounters a terrible surprise: the Frost Prince Ys leads the Snow Queen's army, and the victory of the eternal winter is imminent. But giving up is not an option for Elvy, Simàja, and Tomte Teda! Their search for allies takes them from the tunnel realm of the Gray Trolls, through the cave palace of the scheming Summer Elf Princess, to the grand assembly of the Vintaelfar. There, Simàja takes a dangerous risk to unite the warring peoples of Ymatàja against the Cold Ruler. Meanwhile, Elvy desperately struggles to solve the mysteries of her lucid dreams and to save Erik. Night after night, her willingness to take risks grows… Does their love endanger the entire mission? And can she resist the cruel charm of the Frost Prince?

A thrilling, magically sparkling Romantasy adventure about three unlikely friends who risk everything for love and the future of two worlds!

It's been three months since Adam cut off all contact with Rosie. The words from his farewell letter still haunt her mind, and her heart still aches as intensely as it did on the first day. She longs for the deep conversations with him and the closeness she felt with him, even when he was thousands of kilometers away. Her web radio show at least offers Rosie a bit of distraction, and she works tirelessly to get it back on track after the failed Scarlet-Luck interview. But just as she begins to believe she might eventually get over Adam, he reaches out to Rosie again—and all the feelings, hopes, and dreams she has tried so hard to suppress come rushing back instantly. But how can there be a chance for them both when an entire world still seems to separate them?
