Catalia Fisa, Lost Princess, has been running from destiny her whole life. Yet deep down, she has always believed that the prophecy shadowing her every step is inescapable: her unimaginable power will bring unfathomable disaster. But now her newfound loved ones are caught between the shadow of Cat's tortured past and the threat of her world-shattering future. Although it may be that this, even with all her power, is still the one battle she cannot win, Cat's determined not to go down without a fight.

Kingmaker. Soothsayer. Warrior. Mage. Kingdoms would rise and fall for her...if she is ever found. In the icy North, where magic is might, an all-powerful elite ruthlessly guided by a glacial Queen have grown to dominate the world. Now rebellion is stirring in the rough, magic-poor South, where for the first time in memory a warlord has succeeded in uniting the tribal nations. Stuck in the middle is Cat - circus performer and soothsayer - safely hidden behind heavy makeup, bright colours and the harmless illusion of the circus. Until someone suspects she's more than she seems....

Who is Catalia Fisa? With the help of pivotal figures from her past, Cat begins to understand the root of her exceptional magic, her fated union with Griffin Sinta, and Griffin's role in shaping her destiny. Only Cat holds the key to unlocking her own power, and that means finally accepting herself, her past, and her future in order to protect her loved ones, confront her murderous mother, and take a final, terrifying step - reuniting all three realms and taking her place as the Queen of Thalyria. What doesn't kill her will only make her stronger...we hope.

Wanted criminal Tess Bailey and her band of merry thieves are desperate and on the run. The most powerful ruler in the universe wants them dead, and while he hunts them, the stolen ship they escaped on is running out of steam. Their one offer of help comes from Shade Ganavan, a tall, dark and arrogant stranger with ambiguous motivations. At her side is gentle, blind Shiori, Fiona, an ex-rebel fighter with a rage so strong it could bring generals to their knees, and determined Jax and Miko, steering their ship through the depths of space.

Piers, an exiled warrior from Thalyria, finds himself in the Big Apple just before the holidays. The world and everything in it might be utterly foreign to him, but that won't stop Piers from helping to complete a vital mission for Athena. His goal? To protect Sophie, a French teacher from Connecticut who's suddenly knee-deep in inexplicable phenomena, danger, and henchmen after an Olympian treasure that should never have ended up in her hands—or remained on Earth after the Greek gods abandoned it.

Captain Tess Bailey is in deep trouble. She and her crew are on the run, pursued by a tyrant who'll take them dead or alive. Tess's best hope is a tall, dark, and much-too-appealing stranger, Shade Ganavan, who says he can help her. But his motivations are far from clear. With the dreaded Dark Watch closing in, what Tess and Shade don't know about each other might get them killed, unless they can set aside their differences and learn to trust each other before it's too late.

DER ERSTE BLICK - ein elektrisierender Moment. Sie ist die Frau, nach der Griffin so lange gesucht hat. Ihre erste Begegnung ist noch überwältigender, als er es sich je hätte vorstellen können. Eine Magierin, die sein Land retten könnte. Eine Frau, die sein Herz zum Brennen bringt - Dieses Prequel zur fantastischen "Tochter der Götter"-Trilogie schildert aus Griffins Sicht die erste Begegnung zwischen ihm und der Protagonistin Cat.

Sterben ist eigentlich gar nicht so schlimm, oder? Verdammt, doch das ist! Vor allem, wenn man wie Cat gerade eine Entdeckung gemacht hat, die ihr ganzes Leben verändert. Und auch das ihrer großen Liebe Griffin. Dummerweise scheint der Kampf gegen Cats ebenso grausame wie übermächtige Mutter hoffnungslos. Jeder ihrer Schachzüge gelingt, während Cats magische Fähigkeiten nicht so funktionieren, wie sie sollten. Doch die Götter haben Pläne mit ihr.

Wie viel Pech kann man eigentlich haben? Man würde doch meinen, dass eine blutrünstige Mutter ausreicht. Aber nein, Cat muss sich auch noch mit einer Prophezeiung der Götter herumschlagen, in der es um nicht weniger als das Schicksal der Welt geht. Ist es da ein Wunder, dass sie den Großteil ihres Lebens auf der Flucht verbracht hat? Doch nun hat sie keine andere Wahl mehr, als sich ihrer Mutter und den Göttern zu stellen. Wenigsten ist sie nicht allein. An ihrer Seite steht der verführerische Kriegsherr Griffin.

Captain Tess Bailey and Shade Ganavan are still the galaxy's Most Wanted, and with revolution in the wind and the universe on the brink of catastrophic war, the situation couldn't be more desperate. Despite the Dark Watch scouring the known sectors for them, rebel leaders have handed the crew of the Endeavor a delicate and dangerous mission: break into Starbase 12 and free renowned scientist Reena Ahern. She's the only one who stands a chance of tipping the odds in their favor for the first time in decades.

Politik! Pah! In Thalyria sind die besten Politiker diejenigen, die einem den Dolch ins Herz rammen, bevor man sie kommen sieht. Und deshalb hält Cat sich von allem fern, was auch nur entfernt mit Politik zu tun hat. Egal, ob es um grausame Adlige aus dem mächtigen Norden geht oder um einfache Rebellen, die im magiearmen Süden gerade den Adel entthront haben. Dummerweise braucht der Anführer dieser Rebellen nun Cats Hilfe, um seine Macht zu sichern. Und er holt sie sich, ob Cat will oder nicht.
