Olivia Atwater

« Il se peut que vous n’ayez que la moitié d’une âme, Dora, mais cela ne signifie pas que vous n’êtes que la moitié d’une personne. » Faire son entrée dans la haute société londonienne pour trouver un époux n’est pas un problème lorsqu’on est aussi ravissante et agréable que Vanessa Ettings. Mais pour sa cousine, Theodora, qui n’éprouve plus aucune émotion depuis qu’un faë s’est emparé de la moitié de son âme, ce n’est pas chose aisée... Rien ne pourrait vaincre son indifférence. Mais alors, pourquoi le mauvais caractère du lord Sorcier la perturbe-t-elle autant ?

Eine wahre Lady wird keine Magierin – oder etwa doch? Miss Abigail Wilder wird gerne mal unterschätzt. Der Londoner Gesellschaft ist sie als Mündel des Lord-Magiers suspekt, denn sie trägt Elfenblut in sich. Ihr Ziehvater hingegen bezweifelt ihre magischen Fähigkeiten. Als jedoch die Londoner Debütantinnen-Saison von unerklärlichen Todesfällen unter den jungen Ladys erschüttert wird, ist ihre Stunde gekommen. Wider alle Zweifel begibt sie sich auf die Spur des Geheimnisses. Doch glücklicherweise stellt sich eine junge selbsternannte Magierin auf ihre Seite, die darauf beharrt, ihr in der Stunde der Gefahr beizustehen. Wovon die größte Gefahr ausgeht, dem Verschwörer hinter den Kulissen, der ungezähmten Magie ihrer jungen Helferin oder ihrem eigenen verräterischen Herzen, wird sich erweisen müssen ... Das funkensprühende Finale der mitreißenden Regency-Romance-Reihe der Bestseller-Autorin.

Effie hat sich Hals über Kopf in den umwerfenden Mr Benedict Ashbrooke verliebt. Dummerweise ist Effie eine Bedienstete – einen adligen Gentleman zu heiraten ist für sie keine Option. Doch dann begegnet sie am Rande eines Balls Lord Blackthorne, der ihr anbietet, dafür zu sorgen, dass genau das möglich wird. Effie kennt die Gerüchte über jene, die sich auf einen Pakt mit einem aus dem Elfenvolk einlassen. Aber für die Liebe ihres Angebeteten ist sie bereit, selbst ihre unsterbliche Seele zu riskieren. Und so hat sie nun hundert Tage, um Mr Ashbrooke dazu zu bringen, ihr einen Antrag zu machen – falls dank Lord Blackthorne nicht doch noch alles in einem enormen Skandal endet ...

Theodora Ettings, im Kindesalter von einem Elf der Hälfte ihrer Seele beraubt, kennt weder Furcht, Scham noch Schüchternheit oder was man sonst so von einer britischen Debütantin des 19. Jahrhunderts erwarten dürfte. Dass sie sich von all den anderen jungen Ladies derart abhebt, ist ihrer Familie ein Graus. Doch gerade Doras unkonventionelles Verhalten erregt die Aufmerksamkeit des Lord Magiers des Königreichs, als sie im Gefolge ihrer Familie in der Londoner Gesellschaft auftaucht. Die Freundschaft mit dem umstrittenen Lord Magier könnte Dora allerdings endgültig zum gesellschaftlichen Outcast machen. Aber zugleich ist er ihr einzige Hoffnung, je wieder geheilt zu werden. Oder kann man etwa doch mit einer halben Seele aus vollem Herzen lieben?

Effie se ha enamorado de la manera más inoportuna del brillante Benedict Ashbrooke. Tan solo hay un problema: Effie es una criada, y una criada no puede casarse con un caballero. Cuando parece que Effie se ha quedado definitivamente sin suerte aparece lord Negraespina, un hado dispuesto a ayudarla; a cambio, la joven tan solo tendrá que coser diez mil puntadas en su chaqueta preferida… Effie tiene por delante cien días (y diez mil puntadas) para enamorar a Benedict Ashbrooke, siempre que lord Negraespina no estropee las cosas antes por accidente, porque el mayor obstáculo de Effie bien podrían ser las abrumadoras buenas intenciones del hado.

Da quando è stata maledetta da un fae che le ha rubato metà dell'anima, Theodora Ettings non sente più emozioni come paura o imbarazzo, cosa che la espone a ogni tipo di scandali involontari nella raffinata Inghilterra dell'epoca Regency. Per questo, l'unico obiettivo di Dora per la stagione mondana londinese è quello di non attirare l'attenzione e non compromettere le possibilità di sua cugina di trovare un marito. Ma quando Lord Elias Wilder, il Lord Sorcier d'Inghilterra, viene a sapere della sua condizione, Dora si trova trascinata in tumultuose vicende di maghi e creature fatate. Lord Elias è un uomo bellissimo, bizzarro e incredibilmente sgarbato, ma gira voce che compia tre prodigi inverosimili ogni giorno, ed è disposto ad aiutare Dora a recuperare la sua metà mancante. Se il buon nome di Dora riuscirà a sopravvivere sia alla maledizione che la tormenta che al nuovo legame con l'uomo meno amato di tutta l'alta società londinese, forse la ragazza potrà reclamare il suo legittimo posto nel mondo; ma quanto più tempo Dora passa con Elias, tanto più comincia a sospettare che, in fondo, per innamorarsi può bastare anche metà anima... #cozy #regencyromance CON UN RACCONTO IL PREQUEL IL LORD SORCIER

It's difficult to find a husband in Regency England when you're a young lady with only half a soul. Ever since she was cursed by a faerie, Theodora Ettings has had no sense of fear or embarrassment - a condition which makes her prone to accidental scandal. Dora hopes to be a quiet, sensible wallflower during the London Season - but when the strange, handsome and utterly uncouth Lord Sorcier discovers her condition, she is instead drawn into dangerous and peculiar faerie affairs. If Dora's reputation can survive both her curse and her sudden connection with the least-liked man in all of high society, then she may yet reclaim her normal place in the world. . . but the longer Dora spends with Elias Wilder, the more she begins to suspect that one may indeed fall in love, even with only half a soul. Bridgerton meets Howl's Moving Castle in this enchanting historical fantasy, where the only thing more meddlesome than faeries is a marriage-minded mother.

Thankfully, Abigail is not the only one investigating the terrible events in London. Mercy, a street rat and self-taught magician, insists on joining Abigail to unravel the mystery.

As the English withdraw to Portugal for the winter, a dark pall lies upon the troops, who cannot seem to decide which will kill them first—the lack of supplies, the bitter winter weather, or Napoleon’s dread Lord Sorcier. The lack of ammunition does seem pressing—but what are muskets to the French when they have on their side a magician capable of summoning up a hurricane? As a surgeon, Albert can fix gunshot wounds more readily than hurricanes. But when he discovers by chance a peculiar, low-born magician among the English ranks, Albert begins to hope that they may all yet survive to return home.
