    • From New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr comes a brand new contemporary fantasy novel about an unassuming librarian who discovers that she has fallen in love with a witch Ellie loves working in her local library in the small town of Ligonier. She loves baking scones and investigating the mysterious and interesting in her spare time. And there is nothing more mysterious and interesting than the intriguingly beautiful, properly dressed woman sipping tea in her library who has appeared as if out of nowhere. The pull between them is undeniable and Ellie is not sure that she wants to resist. Prospero is a powerful witch from the magical land of Crenshaw, often accused of being ruthless in her goals and ambitions. But she is driven to save her dying homeland and a prophecy tells her that Ellie is the key. Unbeknownst to Ellie, her powers are latent. But all of that is about to change. Ellie discovers that the woman she has fallen for is a witch-and clearly a liar-she has been thrust into the community college equivalent for newly awakened witches, and she may have the answer to saving their dying magic. What is a newly minted witch to do?

      Harleen Quinzel is many things, a gymnast, anxious, broke…but the last thing anyone would call her is evil. Harley Quinn on the other hand… “Good and evil are so close as to be chained together in the soul.” - The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson Harleen Quinzel is many things, a gymnast, anxious, broke…but the last thing anyone would call her is evil. Harley Quinn on the other hand… When Harleen signs up to participate in a clinical research trial with her girlfriend, Pamela, the most she can hope for is extra cash in her wallet and a chance to get her anxiety under control. But what she gets instead are increasingly larger gaps in her memory and stolen mementos from some guy named Jack she’s never met. Soon, Harleen discovers she’s sharing her life with Harley—a take-no-prisoners, who-cares-about attendance, maybe-we-oughtta-save-the-bunnies kind of girl. She is the opposite of Harleen in many ways. She is anarchy in a cute dress. And although she’s throwing Harleen’s life completely off track, maybe she ain’t so bad either… New York Times bestselling author of Wicked Lovely, Melissa Marr, teams up with celebrated artist Jenn St-Onge to tell the story of a girl who will learn good and evil are not black and white (and red)…as long as she doesn’t get caught.

In Claysville, the worlds of the living and the dead are dangerously connected—and beneath the town lies a shadowy, lawless land ruled by the enigmatic Charles, aka Mr. D. From this dark place the deceased will return if their graves are not properly minded.

Dopo secoli di stabilità, l’equilibrio all’interno delle corti fatate si è spezzato e Irial, il re della Corte Oscura, si batte per salvaguardare i suoi sudditi, ribelli e vulnerabili. Se dovesse fallire, ne seguirebbero spargimenti di sangue e crudeltà spietate. Leslie, a diciassette anni, non sa niente né delle fate né dei loro intrighi. D’improvviso si sente attratta da un tatuaggio incantato: capisce di doverlo avere a ogni costo, convinta che sia il simbolo tangibile di quel cambiamento che sta disperatamente cercando. Il tatuaggio in effetti porterà con sé molte trasformazioni, ma non del genere che lei immaginava: sono eventi sinistri e avvincenti, tutt’altro che simbolici. Avvenimenti che uniranno Leslie a Irial, attirandola sempre più in un universo fatato cui sembrerà incapace di resistere, scoprendosi impotente di fronte ai suoi pericoli.

Fate malvagie che infestano la città, creature pagane, maliziose e lascive che si presentano in bande a fare dispetti, divertendosi alle spalle degli umani. Aislinn ha imparato a proteggersi da loro facendo finta di non vedere, seguendo i consigli della nonna: non guardare le fate invisibili, non rivolgere loro la parola e non attirare mai la loro attenzione. Ma quando alcuni esseri fatati cominciano a seguirla da vicino, le regole diventano impossibili da rispettare e lei confessa il segreto alla persona più cara che ha: Seth, diciotto anni, piercing e il vagone di un treno abbandonato come casa, un ragazzo verso cui prova sentimenti che vanno al di là dell'amicizia. Il loro legame sarà messo a dura prova da Keenan, Re dell'Estate e guida del Regno Fatato, che vede in Aislinn la destinata a diventare la compagna della sua vita. Per lei diventa sempre più difficile allontanarlo, resistere alla sua bellezza abbagliante, ignorare quella strana e calda alchimia che la scuote in ogni parte. Il cuore di Aislinn è diviso: dovrà fare la sua scelta, in un conflitto tra amore eterno e amore terreno.
