Gail Carriger Bücher

Lady Alexia Maccon hat alle Hände voll zu tun. Irgendjemand plant einen Anschlag auf Königin Victoria. Diesmal scheinen nicht die Vampire dahinterzustecken, sondern ein Werwolf. Möglicherweise sogar einer aus dem Rudel ihres Mannes! Lady Alexia weiss sehr wohl, dass sie sich eigentlich schonen sollte. Immerhin ist sie im achten Monat schwanger. Doch während ihrer Nachforschungen stösst sie auf ein düsteres Geheimnis aus der Vergangenheit ihres geliebten Werwolfs. Ein Geheimnis, das ihr Mann um jeden Preis vor ihr verbergen wollte ... Die New York Times Bestsellerautorin Gail Carriger wurde nach eigener Aussage von einer Exil-Britin und einem unheilbaren Griesgram aufgezogen. Um dieser Situation zu entfliehen, begann sie bereits in jungen Jahren mit dem Schreiben. Doch schliesslich entkam sie dem Kleinstadtleben. Beinahe aus Versehen erlangte sie mehrere Hochschulabschlüsse. Anschliessend bereiste sie Europa, wobei sie sich ausschliesslich von Keksen ernährte. Heute lebt sie in den USA, umgeben von unzähligen grossartigen Schuhen, und lässt sich ihren Tee direkt aus London schicken. Ausserdem ist sie versessen auf winzigkleine Hüte und exotische Früchte

Lady Alexia ist glücklich. Sie hat ein bezauberndes Haus, ein ebenso bezauberndes Kind. Und ihr Gatte, der Werwolf Lord Maccon, ist noch immer der verführerische Mann ihrer Träume. Nichts scheint das häusliche Glück trüben zu können. Da erreicht sie ein Ruf aus Alexandria, dem sie sich nicht verschließen kann. Mit Mann und Kind im Schlepptau schifft sie sich nach Ägypten ein. Doch das Land der Pharaonen und Mumien hält mehr Geheimnisse parat, als selbst die unerschütterliche Lady Alexia bewältigen kann.

Lady Alexia Maccon wurde von ihrem Ehemann wegen Untreue verstossen, denn sie ist schwanger, und Werwölfe können keine Kinder zeugen. Doch Alexia hat ihn nicht betrogen. Fest entschlossen, ihre Unschuld zu beweisen, bricht sie nach Italien auf, in die Heimat ihres Vaters. Dort hofft sie, einen Hinweis darauf zu finden, wie sie trotzdem schwanger werden konnte. Denn nur so kann sie das Herz ihres geliebten Werwolfs zurückgewinnen.

Bookish and proper Percival Tunstell finds himself out of his depth when floating cities, spirited plumbing, and soggy biscuits collide in this delightful conclusion to NYT bestselling author Gail Carriger's Custard Protocol series. Percival Tunstell loves that his sister and her best friend are building themselves a family of misfits aboard their airship, the Spotted Custard. Of course, he'd never admit that he belongs among them. He's always been on the outside - dispassionate, aloof, and hatless. But accidental spies, a trip to Japan, and one smart and beautiful doctor may have him renegotiating his whole philosophy on life. Except hats. He's done with hats. Thank you very much.

The fourth and final book in a steampunk YA adventure series, from Orbit's New York Times bestselling author of the Parasol Protectorate series. When a dastardly Pickleman plot comes to fruition, only Sophronia can save her friends, her school, and all of London...but at what cost? Our proper young heroine puts her training and skills to the test in this highly anticipated conclusion of the rousing, intriguing, and always polished New York Times bestselling Finishing School series!

Does one need four fully grown foxgloves for decorating a dinner table for six guests? Or is it six foxgloves to kill four fully grown guests? Sophronia's first year at Mademoiselle Geraldine's Finishing Academy for Young Ladies of Quality has certainly been rousing! For one thing, finishing school is training her to be a spy (won't Mumsy be surprised?). Furthermore, Sophronia got mixed up in an intrigue over a stolen device and had a cheese pie thrown at her in a most horrid display of poor manners. Now, as she sneaks around the dirigible school, eavesdropping on the teachers' quarters and making clandestine climbs to the ship's boiler room, she learns that there may be more to a field trip to London than is apparent at first. A conspiracy is afoot--one with dire implications for both supernaturals and humans. Sophronia must rely on her training to discover who is behind the dangerous plot-and survive the London Season with a full dance card. In this bestselling sequel to New York Times bestselling Etiquette & Espionage, class is back in session with more petticoats and poison, tea trays and treason. Gail's distinctive voice, signature humor, and lush steampunk setting are sure to be the height of fashion this season.

From the delightful, tea-sodden, steampunk-fueled imagination of Gail Carriger comes the further adventures of Alexia Tarabotti and her parasol.
