Werpanther. Er plant große Veränderungen - er hat sich selbst und den Freunden, die er mitgebracht hat, hohe Ziele gesetzt, um seine Herrschaft nach der seines Freundes Logan Church zu gestalten. Doch Domins Ziele sind vielleicht zu hoch gesetzt, denn die Art, wie er seine Regentschaft führt, scheint nicht zu funktionieren. Während er sich mit einem heimwehkranken Crane, einem launischen Mikhail, einem peitschenschwingenden Taj, Dienern mit Mordgedanken, einem Ex sowie einem Gefährten auf einer gefährlichen Mission herumschlägt, steht er mit der Frage, wie er mit seiner neuen Rolle umgehen soll, alleine da. Außerdem muss er herausfinden, wie er eine Verschwörung zerschlagen kann. Und all das, während er sich immer mehr in einen Mann verliebt, der - zum ersten Mal in Domins Leben - diese Gefühle auch erwidert. Ob Domin bereit ist oder nicht, das Schicksal hält eine Lektion für ihn bereit: Die Gefahren von innen sind mindestens genauso bedrohlich wie die von außen.Fish Out of Water

We travel by boat, a rickety steam launch captained by Cady Meade, a veteran taxi pilot on the river Nysis. In her heyday she carried people and goods from the thriving seaports of the estuary into Ludwich, the capital city. But that was years ago. Now she&’s drunk, holed up in a rundown seaside resort, telling her bawdy tales for shots of rum. All that&’s about to change, when two strangers seek her out, asking for transport, one of whom – a young girl – is very ill, and in great danger. The other, an artificial being of singular character, has secrets hidden inside his crystal skull. And so begins the voyage of the Juniper. The Nysis is unlike any other river. Mysteries unfold with each port of call. Not many can navigate these channels, not many know of its whirlpools and sandbanks, and of the ravenous creatures that lurk beneath the surface. Cady used to have the necessary knowledge, and the powers of spectral navigation. But her glory days are well behind her now.This might well be her final journey.File Under: Fantasy [ Peake Fantasy | Secret Mythologies | Take Me to the River | Another London ]Ready or Not: A Novel
