Im zweiten Band der Reihe "The-Queen's Council" steht Mulan vor neuen Herausforderungen. Nach dem Krieg ist sie eine gefeierte Heldin und bildet in ihrem Heimatdorf eine Miliz aus weiblichen Kriegern aus. Der Frieden ist kostbar, und Mulan weiß, dass er verteidigt werden muss. Als Shang mit einer Einladung in die Kaiserstadt kommt, wird ihr Leben durcheinandergewirbelt. Der Kaiser bestimmt, dass Mulan seine Thronfolgerin sein soll. Diese unerwartete Verantwortung macht ihr Angst, doch dem Kaiser kann man nicht widersprechen. In den Hallen der Macht erkennt Mulan, dass nicht alle hinter ihr stehen. Ihre Minister untergraben sie, und die Hunnen wittern eine Schwäche auf dem Thron. Selbst unter ihren vermeintlichen Freunden gibt es Anzeichen von Verrat, was Mulan in eine tiefe Verwirrung stürzt. Doch der Rat der Königinnen steht ihr zur Seite und hilft ihr, ihre wahre Bestimmung zu finden. Mit neuer Kraft und der Weisheit ihrer Vorgängerinnen wird Mulan ihre Macht annehmen, ihr Land retten und erneut beweisen, dass sie, ob mit Krone oder Helm, zur Anführerin bestimmt ist. Diese Neuinterpretation verbindet märchenhafte Elemente mit realen historischen Bezügen und einem Hauch von Disney.

A healer who cannot be healed . . . When Zivah falls prey to the deadly rose plague, she knows it’s only a matter of time before she fully succumbs. Now she’s destined to live her last days in isolation, cut off from her people and unable to practice her art—until a threat to her village creates a need that only she can fill. A soldier shattered by war . . . Broken by torture at the hands of the Amparan Empire, Dineas thirsts for revenge against his captors. Now escaped and reunited with his tribe, he’ll do anything to free them from Amparan rule—even if it means undertaking a plan that risks not only his life but his very self. Thrust together on a high-stakes mission to spy on the capital, the two couldn’t be more different: Zivah, deeply committed to her vow of healing, and Dineas, yearning for vengeance.

You've Got Mail gets a fresh YA twist in this irresistible rom-com that spotlights the power of activism and community organizing in the face of gentrification, perfect for fans of Tweet Cute and Yes No Maybe So. Clementine Chan believes in the power of the written word. Under the pseudonym Hibiscus, she runs a popular blog reviewing tea shops and discussing larger issues within her Chinatown community.

But as they fall hard for this cause--and each other--they have no clue that their online personas have been fighting for years. When the truth comes to light, can Danny and Clementine still find their happily-ever-after?
