Steinernes Fleisch

Cornelia Funke

Jahrelang ist es Jacob Reckless gelungen, im Zimmer seines verschwundenen Vaters unbeobachtet die Hand auf den Spiegel zu legen und so ins märchenhafte Reich dahinter zu gelangen. Dort hat er als erfolgreicher Schatzjäger unter anderem im Dienst der Kaiserin gearbeitet, ist dem Schuh von Aschenputtel ebenso hinterher gejagt wie dem Tischlein deck dich, dem Knüppel aus dem Sack oder dem Goldenen Ball, der jeden in sich hineinzuziehen vermag, der ihn berührt. Und er hat erfahren, dass sein Vater mit seinen Erfindungen den grausamen Goyls bei ihrem Kampf gegen die Menschen geholfen hat: jenen seelenlosen Wesen also, deren Haut (und Herz) aus Stein besteht.

Jetzt aber ist Jacobs jüngerer Bruder Will dem Schatzjäger ins geheimnisvolle Reich hinter dem Spiegel gefolgt – und gerät dadurch in tödliche Gefahr. Plötzlich droht er selbst zu einem Goyl zu werden: mit einer Haut aus Jade. Der Jade-Menschengoyl aber soll mit einer ungeheueren Macht ausgestattet sein, die sich der Goyl-Herrscher Kami’en zunutze machen könnte, um endgültig über die Menschen zu siegen. So jedenfalls hat es die Dunkle Fee erträumt, die an der Seite Kami’ens herrscht. Und während Jacob mit Wills Freundin Clara und der Gestaltenwandlerin Fuchs verzweifelt versucht, den Verfall von Wills fleischlicher Haut in Jade aufzuhalten, ist Will längst als Leibwächter des Goyl-Königs eingeplant. Eine unerbittliche Jagd gegen die Zeit beginnt, die Jacob kaum gewinnen kann...

Monster’s Mercy 3

★ 4.57

William D. Arand

An existence spent being forced to kill others to satiate a Monster.

Where the only thing to look forward to was the blessed, if brief, period of time between paying that bribe.

Except that very same Monster is and isn’t Rene.

It just happened to live inside his own mind and force him to do what it wanted. Rather than being an actual Monster.

That was Rene’s entire life until a fateful day changed that.

A day that the career as a hitman for hire built on the Monster’s needs will end. Where Rene will be forced to atone for his actions. To be held accountable and judged.

Except the verdict is already long since passed and needs no deliberation.

His sentence was being sent hundreds of years into the past, into a different world even, where he must live a life for the betterment of others. Every action judged as it happens and weighed out against him.

But even this new idyllic life he’s been living in for eighteen years is now completely off the rails and Rene has gone back into a life lived in the underworld.

Armed with a few gifts granted to him by the one who judged him, gifts better suited to a fantasy about living in a video game, Rene has to maneuver his way through all the twists and turns in his new life while using all the things he’d learned in his old one.

Except using those skills is a double-edged sword. If he’s not careful, he’ll end up right back where he started.
Or so he would hope.
War is on the horizon and Felicie is in the crosshairs.
Or more accurately, the Mask is.

Warning and minor spoiler: This novel contains graphic violence, undefined relationships/harem, unconventional opinions/beliefs, and a hero who is as tactful as a dog at a cat show. Read at your own risk.

Overdue

K.T. Hanna

The Library once stood proud as a beacon of magic and power.

For 500 years, it has been broken.

Quinn can barely handle her own life. When the Library of Everywhere discovers her compatible magical signature, suddenly she is the sole existing potential Librarian. Now it’s not only the weight of her world on her shoulders—Quinn must connect with the Library system before the universe itself disintegrates.

Once she’s settled, it should be quiet, peaceful work- just as soon as she battles a few engorged bookworms, repairs hundreds of years of damage, and figures out why there's been no Librarian for the last several centuries.

And once that’s done she can start gathering overdue books.

All 18,042 of them to start with.

There’ll be a helluva lot of late fees to process.

Raven House

★ 4.31

Deacon Frost

Levi Walker reached Taryl after a real bad day at college. An angry walk in the rain led to Truck-Kun and a quick trip to reincarnation. If dying wasn't bad enough, Levi wasn't off the hook for his higher education.

Reborn on Taryl and sent to the Academy, Levi is expected to learn how to wield powerful magics. A glitch in the Reincarnation Network has left him with a new body and no idea what’s going on. He’s been told he has great magical potential, but no one is sure what kind.

Now Levi has to accept magic is real, mana vapor makes airships fly and “Horrors” from another dimension feed on unsuspecting victims. If that’s not bad enough, he still has to do homework.

Fortunately, Levi has always been a quick study.

Darkness seeps deeper into the world. The gods can only watch from afar. Time is running out.

Jim and his friends found a way to stop the evil infesting the leadership of the Empire, but the shadows of the world are not all cast by the demon incursion. There's plenty of darkness already dwelling within the corrupted heart of the Empire.

One of the team goes missing, and Jim has to find them before it’s too late. They have a chance to reach the Western Province before the nox infection spreads, but having the entire team is paramount to their success. They'll have to find a way to come together, or risk the Empire sinking completely into the darkness.

No pressure, it's just the fate of the world.
