Rachel Morgan must go on a deadly journey—into the past—in this thrilling Hollows novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. What’s a witch to do when the coven of moral and ethical standards demands she untwist a curse—but an essential spell component no longer exists? There’s only one choice: go back in time. Caught between self-exile and an Alcatraz cell, Rachel must find an Atlantean mirror to reverse the curse and prove to Cincinnati’s brand-new witch coven that, no, she does not practice illicit magic. Unfortunately, the only mirror of its kind in existence belonged to the insane demon Newt, which forces Rachel to go to the past to bargain with her for it. But the spell goes awry, dragging Elyse, the young leader of the coven, back in time, too. Rachel expects to land five years in the past, but instead they arrive two days before Rachel’s long-lost love, Kisten, dies. Heartbroken and torn, Rachel knows she can’t change the past. Even with no allies, Rachel still has one thing going for her: Cincinnati is her city, now and forever. If she can find a way to work with Newt and prevent Elyse from becoming the demon’s next familiar, they might all get home.

For better or worse, a solar eclipse brought humans and paranormal beings together, sparking one woman’s battle to master magic or lose our world, in this riveting serialized adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Hollows series. As time has passed, Dr. Renee Caisson has begun to see the demonic, alien August as more than a research subject or an unlikely colleague—they’ve become friends. And together she and August have helped the two societies of Nextdoor and Earth through the confusion of first contact, the danger of misunderstandings, and the anger of mistreatment. But when a popular blogger and conspiracy theorist twists August’s words, an uproar ensues, turning a powerful section of human society against the Neighbors—and resulting in Renee’s house arrest. Her could-be boyfriend, Major Jackson, says it’s to protect her, though that’s not how Renee sees it. Torn between duty and friendship, August jumps Renee to freedom, fully aware that the journey might reveal more to her than she should know. The wily Neighbor has pieced together that Renee has been unconsciously using their magic, a fact that, if revealed, will cause more, not less, conflict between the humans and Neighbors. For if the people of Earth can master magic and exile August’s people again, the Neighbors will not survive. . . .

After a solar eclipse opens a way between our world and a paranormal realm, and the dark side of first contact emerges, one woman’s loyalties will be tested in this gripping serialized adventure from the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Hollows series. Dr. Renee Caisson never expected that her scientific expertise would lead to a role playing interpreter between humans and the demonic-looking Neighbors. When the door between their worlds opened, she was drafted by the government to study the otherworldly beings and was able to prove her theory: the Neighbors had been to Earth before—and now they simply wanted to save their dying planet. At least, that’s the story, and everyone—both human and Neighbor—is sticking to it. The Neighbor in charge of the new portal’s operation, Noel, isn’t that sure anymore. Having succeeded in finding a new planet to inhabit, the leaders of her world have made the dark truth of their existence clear to her: the Neighbors forcibly tried to make a foothold on Earth in the past—and they can’t afford to fail again. But the Neighbors’ ability to magically teleport from place to place has convinced Major Jackson that the only way to keep control of the situation is to embrace it and tell the world of the Neighbors’ existence. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees.

In the wake of the solar eclipse, a portal between our world and a paranormal realm opens—and a scientist’s life will never be the same, in this thrilling serialized adventure from the New York Times bestselling author of The Hollows. Dr. Renee Caisson knows there are worse things than an attractive man in uniform drafting her into a secret government project—especially when Major Jackson makes it clear that he isn’t bothered by her questionable past. But when her labs come back with decidedly odd results, the Major is forced to come clean over who the government is actually studying. Renee is shocked to learn her subjects are demonic-looking beings who call themselves “Neighbors”—refugees from a dying world, who arrived during the nation-wide solar eclipse. The Neighbors’ technology is unlike anything Renee’s ever encountered. At first, she dismisses an injury that inexplicably heals as “just one of those things”. And surely August, the most gregarious Neighbor, begins to speak English overnight because of the team linguist’s skills? Not until August begins evolving in real time to withstand Earth’s brighter, dryer atmosphere does she admit that the Neighbors’ “tech” feels less like science and more like magic—the same magic that brought them here in the first place, and the same they’re trying to rekindle with a mysterious labyrinth in order to return home and save their world. At least, that’s what August claims they came for…

Rachel Morgan must keep her friends close—and her enemies closer—in the next Hollows novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison. Rachel Morgan, witch-born demon, has one unspoken rule: take chances, but pay for them yourself. With it, she has turned enemies into allies, found her place with her demon kin, and stepped up as the subrosa of Cincinnati—responsible for keeping the paranormal community at peace and in line. Life is . . . good? Even better, her best friend, Ivy Tamwood, is returning home. Nothing’s simple, though, and Ivy’s not coming alone. The vampires’ ruling council insists she escort one of the long undead, hell-bent on proving that Rachel killed Cincy’s master vampire to take over the city. Which, of course, Rachel totally did not do. She only transformed her a little. With Rachel’s friends distracted by their own lives and problems, she reaches out to a new ally for help—the demon Hodin. But this trickster has his own agenda. In the end, the only way for Rachel to save herself and the city may be to forge a new understanding with her estranged demon teacher, Al. There’s just one problem: Al would sell his own soul to be rid of her. . . .

To save the city, Rachel Morgan will need to show some teeth in the next Hollows novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison. The new master vampire of Cincinnati has arrived . . . and she wants Rachel Morgan out. No matter where Rachel goes, Constance is there--threatening Rachel''s allies, causing city-wide chaos, and, to add insult to injury, even forcing Rachel out of her current quarters. Ever since Rachel found a way to save the souls of vampires, the old undead''s longtime ascendancy has been broken. Now Constance sees eliminating Rachel as the key to consolidating her own power. Rachel has no desire to be enthralled or killed--and she''s terrified of what may become of the city if Constance forces a return to the ancient ways. But even a witch-born demon can''t stand against the old undead--at least, not alone. And if Rachel refuses to claim the role of Cincinnati''s master demon, the city will tear itself apart, taking her and all those who stand beside her with it.

A thrilling return to the #1 New York Times bestselling urban fantasy series, continuing Rachel Morgan''s story. RACHEL MORGAN IS BACK--AND THE HOLLOWS WILL NEVER BE THE SAME.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kim Harrison returns to her beloved Hollows series with The Turn—the official prequel to the series that will introduce you to a whole new side of Rachel Morgan’s world, featuring Harrison’s signature “spellbinding blend of sharp wit and vivid imagination” (Kelley Armstrong, New York Times bestselling author). Can science save us when all else fails? Trisk and her hated rival, Kal, have the same goal: save their species from extinction. But death comes in the guise of hope when a genetically modified tomato created to feed the world combines with the government’s new tactical virus, giving it an unexpected host and a mode of transport. Plague rises, giving the paranormal species the choice to stay hidden and allow humanity to die, or to show themselves in a bid to save the human race. Under accusations of scientific misconduct, Trisk and Kal flee across a plague-torn United States to convince leaders of the major paranormal species to save their supposedly weaker kin. Not everyone thinks humanity should be saved, though, and Trisk must fight the prejudices of two societies to prove not only that humanity does have something to offer but also that long-accepted beliefs against women, dark magic, and humanity itself can turn to understanding; that when people are at their worst, the best show their true strength; and that love can hold the world together as a new balance is found.

Ne jamais pardonner ni oublier a toujours été le credo de Peri. Mais son travail le rend particulièrement difficile à appliquer au quotidien.

Traquée, armée de sa seule intuition, incapable de savoir à qui elle peut faire confiance, Peri doit se méfier de tous - y compris d''elle-même.

Peri Reeds erster Fall Eigentlich hatte Wissenschaftler Silas Denier nicht vor, ein Held zu sein. Alles was er wollte, ist an seiner Theorie über die Zeitagenten zu arbeiten.

Pläne, die sowohl Silas als auch seine Freundin Summer und seinen besten Freund Allen in tödliche Gefahr bringen.

Mit Zeitspiel, der einzigartigen Vorgeschichte zu ihrem neuen Roman Die Zeitagentin, gewährt Kim Harrison dem Leser einen ersten Blick in die aufregende neue Welt von Zeitagentin Peri Reed. Der Text umfasst ca. 85 Seiten.

As coisas maléficas que assombram as noites de Cincinnati desprezam a bruxa e caçadora de recompensas Rachel Morgan. A sua reputação de praticante de magia negra começa a fazer virar as cabeças de humanos e mortos-vivos, determinados a possuí-la, dormir com ela e matá-la... não necessariamente por essa ordem. E como se tudo isso não bastasse, um amante mortal que abandonara Rachel regressou, assombrado pelo seu passado secreto. E há quem queira deitar as mãos a algo que se encontra na poss dele: animais selvagens dispostos a destruir Hollows e todos os seus habitantes, se necessário. Obrigada a manter-se escondida ou a sofrer para sempre a ira de um demónio vingativo, Rachel deve, ainda assim, agir rapidamente. Pois pela primeira vez, em vários milénios, matilhas de estranhas criaturas estão a unir-se, preparadas para destruir e dominar. De súbito, há algo mais em jogo do que a alma de Rachel.

Em Hollows os vampiros são apenas o início... A vida é dura para a jovem Rachel Morgan. Caçadora de prémios por profissão e bruxa por vocação, o seu trabalho é percorrer as ruas perigosas de Hollows atrás de criaturas sobrenaturais que ameacem os habitantes mais inocentes e vulneráveis. Sensual e independente, a jovem consegue lidar com vampiros vestidos de cabedal e até escapar ao ocasional demónio, mas um assassino em série que dá caça aos mais perigosos mestres da magia negra é, sem dúvida, forçar os limites. Para derrotar um mal assim tão antigo e implacável não basta uma personalidade forte e uma mão cheia de feitiços. E se falhar, mais do que o seu corpo, Rachel arrisca-se a perder a alma.
