A YEAR TO THE DAY since my dad, Lance Ravier, died. Somehow, it felt like just yesterday. The shock of it was still so raw. That night changed my life, and everything, forever. I saw them. Two strangers from another world. One with glowing, yellow eyes. The other with vampire fangs. The vampire-magician—claiming to be the King of Paragon, from the planet of Muraine—broke the news to me. My dad wasn't from Earth. Instead, he was from a world filled with magic. After thirteen years of lies, all he left me were his hidden belongings from a secret life. And the dragon-horse: Awngeleik. How could I refuse the King of Paragon, when asked to look after her . . . to help keep her from the grasp of the Vitiosyn, King Zymarc? Either amused or psychotic, I agreed to it. What could happen, to top my dad dying or death itself? If I knew what would happen, I might have made a different choice. Regardless, the pages are still turning. I still have time. He still looks at me with fear for what I really am, and hatred for what I might do. If only she had not done what she did. None of this would have happened . . .Zum Buch
AD 191. An ancient grove, broken promises, a lost keepsake. Rich Lucretia is on the way to the town of Durnovaria. The last time she saw it she’d just rejected an arranged teenage marriage, but now she's back to claim an inheritance, taking the local wise-woman Tryssa as a companion. Unknown to anyone, two hapless grave-robbers have been seeking ancient treasures in a stone circle nearby, without any idea that what they've found will open up old wounds from a more recent past. With Lucretia’s family busy arguing about money, any possibility that an old ring bought in the forum might be important is pushed aside until Lucretia’s cousin is poisoned and the local magistrate Amicus starts to raise questions. As the past starts to catch up with the present, Tryssa must help Amicus discover who would kill rather than reveal long-buried truths... and what those truths actually are.Zum Buch
🎨 Natural dye artist and botanical expert Indigo "Indy" Vatson is hosting a natural dye workshop when the workshop's wealthy sponsor—a ruthless synthetic dye manufacturer—is found dead in her studio, face-down in a vat of her signature madder root dye. The police suspect a tragic accident, but Indy notices the dye bath has been chemically altered and the victim's business contracts contain hidden clauses about color patent theft. With her studio shut down and the dyeing community in turmoil, Indy must extract the truth from this colorful conspiracy. Assisted by her natural dye collective and the handsome forensic chemist analyzing pH levels, Indy uncovers a scheme involving dye formula theft, color patent infringement, and a plot to sabotage natural dyers. From suspicious colorfastness tests that reveal chemical tampering to plant material that doesn't match the growing region, every hue tells a story. But when Indy discovers the victim was systematically stealing ancient dye recipes from indigenous communities to patent them for corporate profit, she realizes the killer is protecting cultural heritage more vibrant than any synthetic color. With the natural dye symposium approaching and the real color thief still stirring the pot, Indy must fix the evidence before her own business bleeds out completely.Zum Buch
