Als ich starb und ein Weltenreisender wurde, hatte das System eine Störung. Machte mir das etwas aus? Kein bisschen. Immerhin hatte ich mein ganzes Leben davon geträumt, zu verschiedenen Welten zu reisen! Es stellte sich heraus, dass die Fehlfunktion des Systems mir nur Vorteile brachte. Ich hatte nicht nur nichts verloren, ich hatte etwas wirklich Cooles gewonnen. Da mir diese Gelegenheit nun mal in den Schoß gefallen war, wollte ich sie auch voll und ganz ausnutzen und der coolste Typ aller Zeiten werden. Nein, mehr als das — ich würde eine Legende werden.

Eine junge Frau, bestimmt für die Bühne. Ein Prinz, gefangen im Reich der Dunkelheit. Ein magisches Bündnis, das alles verändern wird. Vor Jahrhunderten wurde die Insel des Lichts von Trollen mit magischen Kräften beherrscht – bis eine Hexe sie in den Untergrund verbannte. Nur eine Frau mit rotem Haar und Engelsstimme hat die Macht, sie zu befreien. So kommt es, dass Cécile de Troyes in das Königreich von Trollus entführt wird. Mit ihrem Gesangstalent und dem feuerroten Haar soll sie die Trolle zurück zum Licht führen.

The world could not escape this misfortune that came out of the blue, so the System is still providing its inhabitants with entertainment. In addition to developing and constantly introducing new possibilities for the inhabitants of the planet, the System is also trying to complicate their lives. Who knows why that is? Maybe that's how some higher power is trying to make the survivors move forward, to become stronger and smarter. And to mobilize all their strength and forget about their boring and meaningless old lives.

Robert Ervin Howard gilt als Begründer des Sword-and-Sorcery-Genres und Schöpfer unvergesslicher Helden. Turlogh Dubh O'Brien, ein verstoßener irischer Krieger des 11. Jahrhunderts, trägt seinen Beinamen „Der Schwarze" nicht umsonst. In „Der Dunkle Mann" begegnet Turlogh auf einer verschneiten Küste Connachts einem Fischer und bricht auf, um Moira, die Tochter eines Dalcassian-Häuptlings, aus den Klauen wilder Wikinger zu befreien.

The defining moment of Margaret Dashwood’s social life, the Dragon Keeper’s Cotillion, the most significant event of Blue Order society, looms large on the horizon. Well-recognized as an excellent dancer, Margaret should have nothing to fear. Unless, of course, her Friend Snuff unleashes his own brand of mayhem in London with his hoarding addiction. But Snuff is the least of the Blue Order’s problems.

The Blue Order and the Pendragon Accords kept England safe from the threat of dragon war since the days of Uther Pendragon and Dewi. Until now. Bad enough to face a dragon war, but to be the only man able to change its course? Frederick Wentworth faces the unthinkable. Not what he signed on for when he accepted his title as baronet. Sir Walter Elliot's arrival brings a different sort of war to Lyme when he demands his daughter Anne Wentworth resolve his latest crisis.

Sir Donnavinne of Tripoli had fought his way through the holy land and lived through some of the most brutal battles of the Second Crusade, but none of that prepared him for the strange place he now found himself. Nothing appeared as it should in this world since his chance encounter with the powerful, ancient, and imprisoned being in the hidden cavern. Case in point: the roaring metal stallion balanced on two shining wheels that bared down on him… and mounted by a woman, nonetheless. A fair maiden to be true, looking gallant in a black leather tunic, but still….

England is overrun by dragons of all shapes and sizes. Most people are blissfully unaware of them and the Pendragon Treaty that keeps the peace between human and dragon kind. Only those born with preternatural hearing, like Fitzwilliam Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet are able to hear and converse with dragonkind.

Life was definitely better when one’s fondest dreams came true. Better indeed for newly made baronet, Sir Frederick Wentworth. Enjoying a title, a sea-side estate, a dragon to keep, and most importantly—marriage to his dearest Anne. Life was far better than he dreamed it could be. Better, but not easier.

Hers was the plight of a gothic heroine, banished from her home by a cruel brother and his heartless wife, the Dragon Sage. Misunderstood and maligned, Georgiana’s only hope of rescue were letters to aunts describing the medieval dungeon to which she had been sent.

Elizabeth was not running away from danger like prey when she left Pemberley for London. No, protecting Little Anne and the baby she carried was the right, sensible and courageous thing to do. It was what any maternal dragon would do. And what place could be safer than Blue Order offices in London? But where dragons were involved, safe was a relative term. With threats to the Blue Order on every side, everyone is stepping lightly around the Council dragons.

Keeping a hibernating dragon should have been a simple thing. Should have been, but it was not. Apparently, nothing involving dragons was ever simple, at least not for Anne Elliot, junior keeper to dragon Kellynch. With the estate in debt, Anne’s father in denial, and the dragon’s treasure missing, Kellynch’s awakening is shaping up to be nothing short of catastrophe. Not to mention, there was the pesky matter of her own broken heart and resentment against the old friend who had caused it.

Darcy thought his problems were over when Pemberley hatched and successfully imprinted on humans. But baby dragons prove far more difficult than any dragon lore prepared him for. Only Elizabeth Bennet's notes offer him any help. When his imperious Aunt Catherine takes matters into her own hands, things take a turn for the worse and Pemberley’s life hangs in the balance. He desperately needs more of Elizabeth’s help, but she ignores all of his requests. Elizabeth, though, has problems of her own.

One would think Anne Elliot, a baronet’s daughter, would find the marriage mart far easier to navigate than a more ordinary woman. One would be wrong. After refusing a poor, but otherwise perfect sailor, on the advice of her friend Lady Russell, Anne finds an unhappy choice before her: marry deathly dull Charles Musgrove or hope against hope that another suitable proposal might come her way before she becomes a spinster on the shelf.

Elizabeth Bennet thought she was prepared to do anything to make the Dragon Conclave accept her beloved young dragon, Pemberley, into the Blue Order, but she had not anticipated it would leave her banished from her ancestral home and betrothed to none other than Mr. Darcy. But before Elizabeth and Darcy wed, they must find a dangerous rogue dragon before it provokes a war amongst the dragons and brings the fragile peace between dragons and mankind to a catastrophic end.

Most people were blissfully unaware that England was overrun by dragons. Only those born with preternatural hearing could hear and converse with dragonkind, and even those rarely came into their hearing before they were fifteen. It was not Elizabeth’s fault that she discovered the truth about dragons when she was only four years-old. It was also not Elizabeth’s fault that the old tatzelwurm, Rumblkins, who lived in the woods near Longbourn House befriended her.
