Leina has spent a lifetime submitting. Kneeling. Enduring. Then soldiers come for her brother, and divine fury surges through her veins. She expects execution for the bodies she left in her wake. Her people have met bloody ends for far, far less. Instead, Ryot, a godsworn warrior born to privilege and raised in order, drags her into a world that was never meant for her. One of divine armies and death demons, winged war horses and monsters, sacred power and royal secrets. A kiss from a goddess changes everything. No longer a criminal, Leina is a prize. The kingdom’s most powerful men want what the goddess touched. Leina wants only one thing, though: freedom for her people. And she’ll trade herself for the strength to destroy the kingdom that broke them. Conscripted into a war she never asked for, fighting for gods she doesn’t believe in, Leina must decide how far she’s willing to go and what she’s willing to lose. Because her power is more than a threat to the kingdom’s buried secrets. It’s a death sentence.

Das Patriarchat ist kein Mythos. Bestsellerautorin Rebekka Endler macht sich in ihrem neuen Buch auf die Suche nach den Ursachen des Patriarchats und untersucht, welche misogynen Mythen bis heute unser Denken und Handeln bestimmen.   Witches, Bitches, It-Girls ist eine anekdotische Spurensuche, die durch die lange Menschheitsgeschichte führt. Rebekka Endler blickt dabei in den Maschinenraum des Patriarchats, beschäftigt sich mit der Kanonisierung in der Kunst, mit der Epoche der Romantik, mit der sogenannten Normalität und mit feministischen Wellen, mit Cancel-Culture und Transfeindlichkeit – und Was bringt so viele Frauen heute noch dazu, von einem rettenden Märchenprinzen zu träumen? Warum werben sogenannte Tradwives für ein Leben als Hausfrau und Mutter? Was steckt hinter der Mommy-Blogger-Welle, und welche Funktion haben Frauenbilder wie Witches, Bitches und It-Girls? Humorvoll, schlagfertig und kämpferisch zeigt Rebekka Endler, wie wir alle das Patriarchat Tag für Tag am Laufen halten – und wie wir es dennoch verändern können, wenn wir das System dahinter verstehen und angreifen. «Rebekka Endler erzählt […] mit Ironie und Humor von den unhinterfragten Ungerechtigkeiten im Alltag zwischen Frau und Mann.»NDR KULTUR über Das Patriarchat der Dinge
