Sara Raasch Knihy

Nicholas „Coal Claus“ kdysi miloval Vánoce. Dokud jeho otec, vládnoucí Santa, nepřetvořil svátky na PR fasádu. Coal udělá cokoliv, aby unikl tomuto spektáklu, včetně toho, že se jedné noci zaplete do opilé a vášnivé líbačky s krásným mužem za pochybným barem. Brzy však dostane příkaz, aby si vzal svou nejlepší přítelkyni Iris, princeznu Velikonoc a tajnou lásku svého bratra. Situace, která má katastrofu napsanou na čele. Věci se zhorší, když se objeví rival, který vyzve Coala o ruku princezny… a Coal se setká se svým tajemným barmanem Hexem, princem Halloweenu. Je to falešná soutěž mezi dvěma princeznami svátků, které si nemohou udržet ruce od sebe, kvůli sňatku z rozumu, který nikdo nechce. A to vše vyústí v jednu z nej sladších, nejvášnivějších, nejchaotičtějších a nejpamátnějších milostných příběhů roku.

Meira by udělala cokoli pro záchranu světa. Nejdříve se ale musí naučit ovládat svou magii. Když jí vůdce tajného řádu z Paisly nabídne, že ji bude učit, neváhá ani chvíli. Ale Rozklad může porazit jen jediným způsobem – bude muset sestoupit do labyrintu pod Střídavými královstvími, vzdát se své magie a učinit tu největší možnou oběť. Mather se rozhodl najít a zachránit svou královnu, ale s plánovaným útokem na Angrova království se jeho cíl stále vzdaluje. A Ceridwen, které Angra zabil bratra a ukradl zemi, se snaží zachránit svůj lid i svou lásku. Meira, Mather a Ceridwen musí spojit všechna království Primorie, jinak ztratí všechno.

Dívka se zlomeným srdcem a nelítostná bojovnice. Před šestnácti lety bylo zničeno Zimní království a jeho území dobylo Jaro. Pobili královskou rodinu a obyvatele uvěznili. A v tu chvíli vyprchala ze Zimy všechna magie… Nyní je jedinou nadějí tohoto království osm přeživších, kterým se podařilo utéct a kteří čekají na svou příležitost. Chtějí získat zpět své království a magii. Meira je jednou z nich. Celý život prožila jako uprchlík, nepoznala své rodiče a generál Zimy ji vychoval jako válečnici. Avšak i jako nelítostná bojovnice se zamilovala… A zamilovala se do nepravého, do budoucího krále Zimy Mathera. I se zlomeným srdcem je ale rozhodnutá udělat cokoli, aby její království získalo svobodu. Když uprchlíci zjistí, kde je ukrytý magický medailon patřící bývalé královně, Meira se ho pokusí získat. A vstoupí do světa boje o moc, temné magie, ale i dvorských intrik a velkých plesů, v němž jednoho dne zjistí, že její osud nikdy nebyl v jejích vlastních rukou.

Zimní království bylo osvobozeno, ale krušné chvilky ještě nekončí. Aby Meira ochránila svůj lid, dovolí Cordellu kopat v zimních dolech. Tam ale najdou něco mocného a nebezpečného – magickou propast. Theron chce využít tento nález k poražení zla, ale Meira se bojí, co s sebou taková síla může přinést. Když se na zemi posledně objevilo tolik magie, povstal velký Rozklad. Proto nechce nechat nic náhodě a klidně se postaví i Theronovi. Ale nevystaví i tak své lidi nebezpečí? Boje o moc sílí. Theron touží po magii, Mather bojuje za svobodu a Meira se začíná ptát sama sebe, jestli bojuje jen za Zimu, nebo za celý svět.

Someone has been stealing Christmas’s joy, and there’s only one clue to the culprit—a single shamrock. With Coal busy restructuring Christmas—and their dad now having a full midlife crisis in the Caribbean—Kris volunteers to investigate St. Patrick’s Day. His cover: an ambassador from Christmas to foster goodwill. What could go wrong? Everything, it seems. Because Prince Lochlann Patrick, Crown Prince of St. Patrick’s Day, happens to be the mysterious student that Kris has been in a small war with at Cambridge. They attempt to play nice for the tabloids, but Kris can’t get through one conversation without wanting to smash Loch’s face in—he’s infuriating, stubborn, loud, obstinate, hot— Wait—hot? Kris might be in some trouble. Especially when it turns out that the mystery behind Christmas’s stolen magic isn’t as simple as an outright theft. But why would a Holiday that Christmas has never had contact with, one that’s always been the very basis of carefree, want to steal joy? Can a spare prince even hope to unravel all this, or will Kris lose something way more valuable than his Holiday’s resources—like his heart?
