Brooklyn Knight , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 601min
Professor Piers Knight is an esteemed curator at the Brooklyn Museum and is regarded by many on the staff as a revered institution of his own if not an outright curiosity. Knight’s portfolio includes lost civilizations; arcane cultures, languages, and belief; and more than a little bit of the history of magic and mysticism. What his contemporaries don't know is that in addition to being a scholar of all things ancient he is schooled in the uses of magical artifacts, the teachings of forgotten deities, and the threats of unseen dangers. If a mysterious object surfaces, Professor Knight makes it his job to figure it out - and make sure it stays out of dangerous hands. A contemporary on an expedition in the Middle East calls Knight's attention to a mysterious object in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum...just before it becomes the target of a sorcerous attack that leads to a siege on a local precinct house by a fire elemental. What looks like an ordinary inscribed stone may unlock an otherworldly Armageddon that certain dark powers are all too eager to bring about - and only Piers Knight stands in their way. ungekürzt.

A young queen rises in the west, fanning the long-smoldering embers of magic into a blaze once more....

The Prophecy Con: Rogues of the Republic, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 789min
Book Two in the Rogues of the Republic series. Who would have thought a book of naughty poems by elves could mean the difference between war and peace? But if stealing the precious volume will keep the Republic and the Empire from tearing out each other's throats, rogue soldier Isafesira de Lochenville - "Loch" to friends and foes alike - is willing to do the dishonest honors. With her motley crew of magic-makers, law-breakers, and a talking warhammer, she'll match wits and weapons with dutiful dwarves, mercenary knights, golems, daemons, an arrogant elf, and a sorcerous princess. But getting their hands on the prize - while keeping their heads attached to their necks - means Loch and company must battle their way from a booby-trapped museum to a monster-infested library, and from a temple full of furious monks to a speeding train besieged by assassins. And for what? Are a few pages of bawdy verse worth waging war over? Or does something far more sinister lurk between the lines? From Patrick Weekes, one of the minds behind the critically acclaimed Mass Effect video game series, The Prophecy Con continues the action-packed fantasy adventure that kicked off in The Palace Job. ungekürzt.

The Unexpected Enlightenment of Rachel Griffin: Books of Unexpected Enlightenment, Book 1 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 780min
Rachel Griffin wants to know everything. As a freshman at Roanoke Academy for the Sorcerous Arts, she has been granted to opportunity to study both mundane and magical subjects. But even her perfect recollection of every book she has ever read does not help her when she finds a strange statue in the forest - a statue of a woman with wings. Nowhere - neither in the arcane tomes of the Wise, nor in the dictionary and encyclopedia of the non-magic-using Unwary - can she find mention of such a creature. What could it be? And why are the statue's wings missing when she returns? When someone tries to kill a fellow student, Rachel soon realizes that, in the same way her World of the Wise hides from mundane folk, there is another, more secret world hiding from everyone - which her perfect recall allows her to remember. Her need to know everything drives her to investigate. Rushing forward where others fear to tread, Rachel finds herself beset by wraiths, magical pranks, homework, a Raven said to bring the doom of worlds, love's first blush, and at least one fire-breathing teacher. Curiosity might kill a cat, but nothing stops Rachel Griffin! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Shana M Buck. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/070123/bk_acx0_070123_sample.mp3.

Darknesses: Corean Chronicles, Book 2 , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1107min
Corus is a world of humans, but also of strange animals and supernatural creatures. It is a world of magical powers and of a few people who are Talented enough to use them. Alucius, the hero of the story, is one such person. In Legacies we saw how he grew from a Talented child on a lonely Nightsheep ranch in the Iron Valleys to a proficient soldier who used his wits and his Talent to become the first to escape military enslavement in the neighboring country of Madrien. Now captain of the Twenty-first Company, the youngest officer of his rank in the Militia, he must now face new challenges, both military and magical. Corus has been fragmented since the collapse of its ancient magic-powered civilization. A would-be conqueror has somehow revived sorcerous creatures of legend to assist in his crusade to reunite the continent under his rule. The Iron Valleys are forced into an alliance with the Lord-Protector of Lanachrona, and the Twenty-first is dispatched to stand against the invaders. Neither the officers above him nor the men under him know it, but Alucius's Talent is their only hope for victory, or even survival. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kyle McCarley.

The Hole of the Pit (eBook, ePUB)
At the height of the English Civil War, scholar Hubert Leyton, a man of peace who has so far avoided involvement in the conflict, is asked for help by the desperate people of Marsham. His cousin, the Earl of Deeping, having found himself on the losing side at the Battle of Naseby, has retreated with a villainous crew of soldiers and mercenaries to his island castle of Deeping Hold, and is demanding supplies the people of Marsham can't provide. Agreeing to act as their spokesman, Leyton soon finds himself trapped in Deeping Hold with the doomed, unstable Earl, his scheming, sorcerous lover Fiammetta Bardi, and a family curse relating to a slime-filled pit in the sea nearby - and the Thing it contains.First published in 1914, Adrian Ross's novel recalls the work of William Hope Hodgson in its depiction of a stronghold under siege by a supernatural menace, as well as that of Ross's friend, M R James (to whom he dedicated the novel), in its subtle accumulation of weird dread surrounding an adversary that defies the traditional forms of supernatural horror.Evoking its historical period through the authentic style of its first person narrative, and the light use of Ross's considerable historical scholarship, The Hole of the Pit is an unjustly forgotten novel from early 20th century weird fiction, and sure to delight readers of H P Lovecraft, Robert E Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, William Hope Hodgson and M R James.- Shop: buecher
