    Feder und Flamme
    • 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.

      I Dream of Popo
    • "The war is over. Now a renowned hero, Mulan spends her days in her home village, training a militia of female warriors. The peace is a welcome one, and she knows it must be protected.When Shang arrives with an invitation to the Imperial City, Mulan's relatively peaceful life is upended once more. The aging emperor decrees that Mulan will be his heir to the throne. Such unimagined power and responsibility terrifies her, but who can say no to the Emperor? As Mulan ascends into the halls of power, it becomes clear that not everyone is on her side. Her ministers undermine her, and the Huns sense a weakness in the throne. When hints of treachery appear even amongst those she considers friends, Mulan has no idea whom she can trust. But the Queen's Council helps Mulan uncover her true destiny. With renewed strength and the wisdom of those that came before her, Mulan will own her power, save her country, and prove once again that, crown or helmet, she was always meant to lead. This fierce reimagining of the girl who became a warrior blends fairy-tale lore and real history with a Disney twist."--Publisher.

      Daughter Of Dusk
    • 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. But as they grow closer, they must find common ground to protect those they love. And amidst the constant fear of discovery, the two grapple with a mutual attraction that could break both of their carefully guarded hearts. This smart, sweeping fantasy with a political edge and a slow-burning romance will capture fans of The Lumatere Chronicles and An Ember in the Ashes.
