The original hero. A brand-new adventure.
Percy Jackson has saved the world multiple times - battling monsters,
Titans, even giants - but these days the modern-day son of Poseidon is
hoping for a regular final year at school.
Too bad the Greek gods have other plans, and three new quests for Percy
to complete.
First up: the cupbearer of the gods, Ganymede, is missing his golden
chalice. Not only is this embarrassing (why do the gods keep losing
their magical items?), it's also potentially disastrous. One sip from
the cup will turn any mortal into a powerful god. And the old gods do
not take kindly to newbies.
Can Percy and his friends Annabeth and Grover find the chalice before
it falls into the wrong hands? And even if they do, will they be able
to resist its awesome power. . .?
Readers new to the Percy Jackson universe and long-time fans will love
this epic adventure - full of legendary heroes, mythical creatures,
ancient Greek gods and enduring friendship - from the global bestseller
Rick Riordan.
Tomas kan nie sy lewe voorstel sonder sy draak Flikker nie.
Flikker is meer as net ’n troeteldier – hy’s die beste maat wat Tomas al ooit gehad het! Maar hy het sy oupa belowe dat hy en sy vriende hulle drake sal vrylaat, en dis beslis nie ’n maklike ding om te doen nie.
Veral nie wanneer Tomas en sy vriende soveel pret het saam met hulle drake Flikker, Son, Vrieska en Sluiper nie, nie as hulle nog moet uitwerk waar die drake vandaan kom en hoe om hulle weer terug by hulle huis te kry nie, en nie as Tomas op die nippertjie is om die storie agter die geheimsinnige draakvrugboom uit te pluis nie!
Cinderella is dead, but Snow White fights on ...
New York Times bestselling author and TikTok sensation Kalynn Bayron
makes her highly anticipated return to the fairytale realm of
Cinderella is Dead with this thrilling twist on the classic story of
Snow White.
Princess Eve was raised with one purpose: to destroy the Knight, an
evil sorcerer who terrorises Queen's Bridge with his wicked magic. Far
too many of her subjects have been devastated by the Knight's trickery
but Eve's own unique magic - the ability to conjure weapons from nature
- makes her a worthy adversary.
As she approaches her seventeenth birthday, Eve is ready to battle. But
her mother, Queen Regina, has been acting bizarrely, talking to a
strange mirror alone every night. Then a young man claiming to be the
Knight's messenger appears and shares a shocking truth about Eve's
past. Unsure of who to trust or what to do next, Eve must find the
courage to fight. But will it be enough to save her family and her
queendom?
How far would you go to save your best friend? TO BE BORN OF THE
FOREST IS A GIFT AND A CURSE. Rora is a shifter, as magical as all
those born in the wilderness - and as feared. She uses her
abilities to spy for the king, traveling under different guises and
listening for signs of trouble. When a magical illness surfaces
across the kingdom, Rora uncovers a devastating truth: Finley, the
young prince and her best friend, has caught it. His only hope is
stardust, the rarest of magical elements, found deep in the
wilderness where Rora grew up - and to which she swore never to
return. But for her only friend, Rora will face her past and brave
the dark, magical wood, journeying with her brother and the
obstinate, older prince who insists on coming. Together, they must
survive sentient forests and creatures unknown, battling an ever
changing landscape while escaping human pursuers who want them
dead. With illness gripping the kingdom and war on the horizon,
Finley's is not the only life that hangs in the balance.
