New Releases by Patricia Briggs

Mercedes Thompson znowu ma ręce pełne roboty. I jak zwykle - to nie jej wina. Przynajmniej nie do końca. Kojot z natury nie przepada za śniegiem, a Mercy - mechanik smochodowy, pół-kojot i specjalistka od Końca Świata - tym bardziej. Ale kiedy brat potrzebuje pomocy, nie ma mowy o siedzeniu w domu pod kocykiem. To miała być krótka wyprawa do Montany. Samotna. Szybka. Bezproblemowa. Taaa... Jak zwykle. Zamiast tego trafia z ukochanym wilkołakiem - Adamem, Alfą całego stada - do odciętej od świata górskiej chaty. Zamieć, obcy ludzie, pradawna magia i katastrofa, która tylko czeka, żeby rozwalić pół planety. Brzmi znajomo? A to dopiero początek. Bo Mercy, choć uparta jak sto diabłów, nie jest nieśmiertelna. A zło, które budzi się wśród śnieżnych pustkowi, nie zna litości. By przetrwać, będzie musiała wykorzystać nie tylko spryt i magię, ale i całą siłę tych, którzy gotowi są stanąć u jej boku. Zima nadchodzi - a z nią coś znacznie gorszego niż mróz.

Le vampire Wulfe a disparu. Comme il s''agit d''un être mortellement dangereux, probablement dérangé, et dont le passe-temps préféré est de traquer Mercy, ce n''est pas une grand perte. Mais la maîtresse des vampires tient la meute pour responsable et leur pose un ultimatum : si Wulfe ne réapparaît pas, c''en est fini de l''alliance entre vampires et loups-garous. Très vite, Mercy découvre que Wulfe n''est pas le seul à s''être volatilisé. De nombreuses créatures surnaturelles, pour la plupart inoffensives, ont été enlevées. Bientôt, une seule piste se dessine : la légende du Moissonneur, qui arpente les chemins de traverse et cueille les âmes dont l''heure est venue de sa grande faux noire... « J''adore ces livres. » Charlaine Harris, autrice de True Blood

THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER! Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must stop a disaster of world-shattering proportions in this exhilarating entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. In the supernatural realms, there are creatures who belong to winter. I am not one of them. But like the coyote I can become at will, I am adaptable. My name is Mercy Thompson Hauptman, and my mate, Adam, is the werewolf who leads the Columbia Basin Pack, the pack charged with keeping the people who live and work in the Tri-Cities of Washington State safe. It’s a hard job, and it doesn’t leave much room for side quests. Which is why when I needed to travel to Montana to help my brother, I intended to go by myself. But I’m not alone anymore. Together, Adam and I find ourselves trapped with strangers in a lodge in the heart of the wilderness, in the teeth of a storm of legendary power, only to discover my brother’s issues are a tiny part of a problem much bigger than we could have imagined. Arcane and ancient magics are at work that could, unless we are very careful, bring about the end of the world. . . .

Mercy Thompson, car mechanic and shapeshifter, must face her greatest fears in this chilling entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. The vampire Wulfe is missing. Since he’s deadly, possibly insane, and his current idea of “fun” is stalking me, some may see it as no great loss. But, warned that his disappearance might bring down the carefully constructed alliances that keep our pack safe, my mate and I must find Wulfe—and hope he’s still alive. As alive as a vampire can be, anyway. But Wulfe isn’t the only one who has disappeared. And now there are bodies, too. Has the Harvester returned to the Tri-Cities, reaping souls with his cursed sickle? Or is he just a character from a B horror movie and our enemy is someone else? The farther I follow Wulfe’s trail, the more twisted—and darker—the path becomes. I need to figure out what’s going on before the next body on the ground is mine.

''Patricia Briggs is an incredible writer . . . I love hanging out with the amazing characters in this series!'' Nalini Singh, New York Times bestselling author of the Psy-Changeling series ''It is always a joy to pick up a new Briggs novel'' RT Book Reviews ''Patricia Briggs never fails to deliver an exciting, magic and fable filled suspense story'' Erin Watt, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The Royals series. I am Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman. My only ''superpowers'' are that I turn into a thirty-five-pound coyote and fix Volkswagens. But I have friends in odd places and a pack of werewolves at my back. It looks like I''m going to need them. Centuries ago, the fae dwelt in Underhill. When they were cast out, they left behind their great castles, troves of magical artefacts . . . and their prisoners. Without the fae to mind them, those creatures roamed freely through Underhill wreaking havoc. Only the deadliest survived. Now one of those prisoners has escaped. It can look like any creature it chooses and if it bites you, it controls you. It lives for chaos and destruction and can make you do anything - even kill the person you love the most. Now it is here, in the Tri-Cities. In my territory. It won''t - can''t - remain. Not if I have anything to say about it.

Jahrhundertelang lebten die Fae in Annwnn, doch dann verschloss die Anderwelt ihre Pforten, und die Fae mussten fliehen. Ihre prächtigen Schlösser ließen sie zurück. Ebenso wie ihre magischen Artefakte. Und ihre Gefangenen, finstere Kreaturen, die seither eine Spur der Verwüstung in Annwnn hinterlassen. Nun ist das tückischste dieser Geschöpfe aus der Anderwelt entkommen und streift ungehindert durch die Tri-Cities. Es kann jede nur erdenkliche Gestalt annehmen und die Gedanken seiner Opfer kontrollieren. Für Mercy Thompson ist klar, dass sie dieses Monster aufhalten muss – um jeden Preis ...

A collection of sixteen sci-fi and fantasy stories edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton and author William McCaskey. A child’s wish for her father comes true. The end of the world has never been so much fun. Conquering personal demons becomes all too real. It’s not always about winning; sometimes it’s about showing up for the fight. It’s about loving your life’s work, and jobs that make you question everything. In this anthology, seventeen authors have woven together brand-new stories that speak to the darkness and despair that life brings while reminding us that good deeds, humor, love, sacrifice, dedication, and following our joy can ignite a light that burns so bright the darkness cannot last.

In this powerful entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling series, Mercy Thompson must face a deadly enemy to defend all she loves… My name is Mercedes Athena Thompson Hauptman, and I am a car mechanic. And a coyote shapeshifter. And the mate of the Alpha of the Columbia Basin werewolf pack. Even so, none of that would have gotten me into trouble if, a few months ago, I hadn’t stood upon a bridge and taken responsibility for the safety of the citizens who lived in our territory. It seemed like the thing to do at the time. It should have only involved hunting down killer goblins, zombie goats, and an occasional troll. Instead, our home was viewed as neutral ground, a place where humans would feel safe to come and treat with the fae. The reality is that nothing and no one is safe. As generals and politicians face off with the Gray Lords of the fae, a storm is coming and her name is Death. But we are pack, and we have given our word. We will die to keep it.

Pozor na zajíce! Není ušák jako ušák. Někteří, zvláště ti démoničtí, koušou a dokážou zotročit vaši mysl tak, že byste vztáhli ruku i na své nejbližší. Bolestně se o tom přesvědčí kojotí automechanička Mercedes Thompson. Patricia Briggs už mnohokrát dokázala svým fanouškům, že má pro ně v autorském šupleti vždy něco nového. Tentokrát se nevypravíme do nevyzpytatelné říše Pod Kopcem, naopak. Pod Kopcem v podobě malé umouněné holčičky si postaví dveře do své říše přímo na Mercyině pozemku. Srážka s fae končívá málokdy šťastně, ale nyní bylo na svět vypuštěno něco, s čím si nikdo neví rady a co se postará, aby Mercy potkávala ve svém domku o ducha navíc. Jako by nestačilo, že se kolem plíží vražedný kouřový démon a Mercyin poťouchlý upíří šmírák. Navíc se ještě něco děje s jejím Adamem a jejich manželství začíná z nepochopitelných důvodů skřípat...

Plötzlich droht die ohnehin schon angespannte Situation zwischen den Menschen und den Fae völlig zu eskalieren, und die Tri-Cities stehen vor einem Bürgerkrieg. Um das Schlimmste zu verhindern, nehmen Mercy und Adam den Jungen in ihrem Rudel auf – nicht ahnend, dass ihr Schützling eine dunkle Gabe hat ...

Als Christy, die Exfrau ihres Gefährten Adam, plötzlich in ihrem Leben auftaucht, schrillen bei Mercy sämtliche Alarmglocken – und das zu Recht, denn Christy führt nichts Gutes im Schilde: Sie will Adam zurück und ist sogar bereit, Mercys eigenes Rudel gegen sie aufzustacheln. Doch eine Mercy Thompson gibt niemals kampflos auf – schon gar nicht in der Liebe! Noch ahnt Mercy nicht, dass Christy ihr geringstes Problem ist: Ihr droht weitaus größere Gefahr von einem Gegner, der die ganze Welt zerstören kann ...
