Spellcaster - Weatherstone College 1
From the bestselling author of the Shadow Beast Shifter series, Jaymin Eve, comes SPELLCASTER an all-new, intense enemies-to-lovers romantasy with steamy heat, magical creatures, fast pacing, and stakes that will keep you hooked. Dive into a world where love is as dangerous as power-and nothing is ever as it seems.
Welcome to Weatherstone College…
Don't walk the halls late at night.
Don't disturb the ancient magic.
And don't, under any circumstances, ever trust a spellcaster.
When my magic bloomed at twenty-two, the last thing I expected was to receive an acceptance letter to the most prestigious witch college in the world. It's not that I don't have magic. It's just…unpredictable. But with Weatherstone a part of my family legacy, I'm determined to live up to their expectations.
A task that's almost derailed on my very first day when I come face-to-face with Logan Kingston, the son of my father's enemy. I'm warned to avoid the powerful spellcaster at all costs, but apparently Logan did not receive the same memo. The more time I spend around him, the more I crave his unsettling attention, and as hate flirts with obsession, I'm left wondering if there's another side to the decades-old feud between our fathers.
On top of that, Weatherstone is not at all like I expected. Built on the ancient blood of necromancers and battle, the magic here is as unpredictable as mine, and I sense a dark energy stalking my footsteps. When a monster attacks me, I have no choice but to turn to the strongest warlock in our school: Logan.
After all, to fight a monster, I'll need a monster.
Perfect if you love:
Who hurt you?

As their world continues to fall to the Koosh, and alliances are challenged and broken, Elān must choose his role in his own epic story.

Návrat Beštie
Nočný démon. Ponožkový vrah. Pavúk. Beštia. Ondrej Zigo. Spomínate si naň? Na zabijaka žien z prízemných bytov, ktorý na začiatku deväťdesiatych rokov minulého tisícročia terorizoval Bratislavu? Keď ho po mnohých vraždách spravodlivosť konečne dolapila a on skončil za mrežami s doživotím, spoločnosť na neho s radosťou rýchlo zabudla.
Lenže… Čo ak svoje činy naďalej pácha vo svete, v ktorom dva takzvané prielomy spustili paranormálne javy?
Keď ktosi zavraždil známeho bratislavského spisovateľa detektívok a bývalého kriminalistu Šimona Švéda, podobalo sa to na prácu dávno chyteného sériového vraha. Ten však len prednedávnom naposledy vydýchol vo väzenskej nemocnici. Trojica vyšetrovateľov sa ocitne tvárou v tvár čomusi nečakanému. Vo svete zmietanom fenoménom známym ako paranorma je totiž možné všetko.
Mi - Nous
Misztikus, sötét disztópia A tükörjáró-sorozat szerzőjétől.
Az én semmi. A Mi minden!
Minden Ösztön a Mi-hez vezet!
Lépjetek a megszentelődés útjára!
Jelzések az arcokon
Ösztönök és hatótávolságok
Életpontok, érdempontok, rontópontok
Védelmezők, sugalmazottak, engedelmesek
Jelzésazonosítók és leleplezők
Az Ösztön nem hazudhat.
Valóban?
Az emberi élet szent.
Ó, valóban?!
Ebben a világban az egyén csak annyit ér, amennyit hozzátesz a Mi rendszerének fenntartásához. Veleszületett Ösztönök kényszerítik cselekvésre az embereket. Az Ösztön jelét mindenki az arcán viseli, eltakarni tilos.
Ha tetszik, ha nem, tenned kell, amit az Ösztön diktál, sem többet, sem kevesebbet, mert különben kattan a csuklódon a leleplezők bilincse. A ranglétrán előbbre lépni csak úgy lehet, ha életeket mentesz, mert az élet szent.
De mi van, ha egyre több kérdés merül fel benned? Mi van, ha furcsaságokat észlelsz? Mi van, ha ismerőseid egyszer csak eltűnnek? Mi van, ha a rajongás fékezhetetlen éhséggé aljasul? Térdre kényszeríthet egy rendszert egyetlen súlyos titok?
