Ergebnis für "Wild" in Zeitgenössische Fantasy

Einmal Königin sein im Reich der Feen – Traum oder Albtraum? Im dritten Band in der Sunday-Times-Bestsellerserie findet die Feenforscherin Emily Wilde es heraus. Emily Wilde hat ihr Leben dem Studium der Feen gewidmet. Als renommierte Dryadologin hat sie in ihrer Enzyklopädie der Feen Hunderte von Arten dokumentiert.

Was tatsächlich nur noch so semi-schlimm ist, denn so kann Ivy ungehindert Zeit mit Raphael Winter, ihrem saphirblauäugigen Untergang, verbringen. Als er dann noch ihre Fähigkeiten benötigt, um für ihn am Set der Serie Verwünscht (Ivys absolute Lieblingsshow!) zu spionieren, ist Ivy sofort Feuer und Flamme. Denn wenn man etwas so sehr liebt, dann kann der Auftrag auch nicht schwer werden. Oder gefährlich. Oder etwa doch...?

Als Privatdetektivin in Vancouver hat Ashira Cohen schon einige Fälle gelöst. Daher scheint es bloße Routine zu sein, als sie ein verschwundenes Mädchen aufspüren soll bis die Sache eskaliert. Ein Schlag auf Ashs Hinterkopf tut nicht nur weh, sondern enthüllt ein seltsames Tattoo und sie verfügt plötzlich über magische Fähigkeiten, die sie eigentlich gar nicht haben dürfte. Als wenn das nicht verstörend genug wäre, hat sie nun keine andere Wahl, als mit Levi Montefiore zusammenzuarbeiten, ihrem Rivalen seit Jugendzeiten.

Endlich geht es für Ash beruflich voran: Sie bekommt den Auftrag, einen Mord aufzuklären – und der wurde angeblich von einem waschechten Todesengel begangen! Dass sie bei den Ermittlungen indirekt für die Herzkönigin arbeiten muss und damit ihrem besten Feind Levi Montefiore in die Quere kommt, macht die Angelegenheit nicht unbedingt leichter. Und dann wäre da die Sache mit ihren Jezebel-Kräften, die sie noch nicht so richtig im Griff hat. Als Ash bei ihren Ermittlungen auf ein magisches Artefakt stößt, überschlagen sich die Ereignisse.
