The Forest Grimm von Kathryn Purdie
Once upon a time, villagers would whisper their desires to The Book of Fortunes, and its pages would reveal how to obtain them. All was well until someone used the book for evil. Afterward, the branches of the Forest Grimm snatched the book away and the village withered. The villagers tried to make amends with the forest, but every time someone crossed its border, they never returned.
Despite the warning from her fortune-teller grandmother, Clara embarks on the journey into the deadly forest to procure the Book of Fortunes – to reverse the curse and save her mother and village. Clara’s friend Axel puts aside his longing for her to join the journey – the young travellers have set their minds to defying fate and daring to accomplish what no one else has been able to before.
Alas, the forest – alive with dark, deadly twists on some of our most well-known fairy tales – has a mind of its own…

The Scarlet Alchemist von Kylie Lee Baker
Zilan dreams of becoming a royal alchemist, of providing for her family by making alchemical gold and gems for the wealthy to eat in order to stay young forever. But for now, she’s trapped in her impoverished village in southern China, practicing an illegal form of alchemy to keep food on the table—resurrecting the dead, for a price.
When Zilan finally has the chance to complete her imperial exams, she ventures to the capital to compete against the best alchemists in the country in tasks she’ll be lucky to survive, let alone pass. On top of that, her reputation for raising the dead has followed her to the capital, and the Crown Prince himself seeks out her help, suspecting a coming assassination attempt.
The more Zilan succeeds in her alchemy, the more she gets caught in the dangerous political games of the royal family. There are monsters lurking within the palace walls, and it’s only a matter of time before they—and secrets of Zilan’s past—catch up with her.

He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting?

For Tamsyn is more than the false wife of a man who now sees her as his enemy. And when those secrets emerge, they will ignite a flame bright enough to burn the entire kingdom to the bone.

Die Sprache der Drachen von S. F. Williamson (Autor), Nina Lieke (Übersetzer) – 11. Juni 2025
(YA Dezember)
London im Jahr 1923. Seit fünfzig Jahren hält der Frieden zwischen Menschen und Drachen, doch er wird zunehmend brüchig – auch, weil immer mehr Menschen gegen das strenge Klassensystem protestieren, das die Grundlage für den Friedensvertrag ist. Vivien Featherswallow ist fest entschlossen, sich haargenau an die Regeln zu halten, um an der Akademie für Drachensprache aufgenommen zu werden und damit sicherzustellen, dass ihre kleine Schwester Ursa niemals in die unterste Klasse abrutscht. Doch dann werden ihre Eltern verhaftet und Vivs Welt bricht zusammen. Verzweifelt nimmt sie einen mysteriösen Job an: In Bletchley Park soll sie die Sprache der Drachen entschlüsseln. Das Leben ihrer Familie hängt davon ab – doch je mehr Viv über die Drachensprache lernt, desto klarer wird ihr, dass alles, was sie zu wissen glaubte, eine Lüge ist …

Die junge Prinzessin Elara lebt in einer Welt, die von den Sternen, so mächtigen wie erbarmungslosen Göttern regiert wird – und diese Götter haben sie verflucht.

Sie kann entkommen – und findet überraschend Zuflucht im verfeindeten Königreich des Lichts. Der Preis für ihr Leben: Prinz Lorenzo soll aus Elara, die sich ihrer Magie kaum bewusst ist, eine Waffe machen, die die brutalen Götter zu Fall bringen kann. Doch im Königreich des Lichts gibt es auch Schatten, und einer davon verbirgt Lorenzos dunkelstes Geheimnis …

The Courting of Bristol Keats von Mary E. Pearson (Autor), Ulrike Raimer-Nolte (Übersetzer)
(adult Dezember)
Nach dem Tod ihrer Eltern schafft es Bristol Keats nur mit Mühe, sich und ihre Schwestern über Wasser zu halten. Als eine angebliche Tante überraschend Hilfe verspricht, erfährt sie, dass alles, was sie über ihre Familie zu wissen glaubte, eine Lüge war, und dass ihr Vater womöglich noch am Leben ist. Um ihn zu finden, muss Bristol ins Land des Elfenkönigs Tyghan reisen. Dieser braucht ihre verborgene magische Gabe, um eine finstere Bedrohung von den Reichen Elfheims abzuwenden. Bristol taucht in eine Welt der Magie, Intrigen und Verführung am Hof der Tuatha De Danann ein und kann sich schon bald der Anziehungskraft des geheimnisvollen Elfenkönigs nicht mehr entziehen. Was Bristol nicht weiß: Tyghan ist ebenso entschlossen wie sie, ihren Vater zu finden – sei es tot oder lebendig …
