ma 'n langverlore tante se huis en katte geërf het. Simon is

asof sy ooit haar slegte ervaring sal afskud nie. Dalk sal Lynx se

The seductive and action-packed follow-up to Alex Aster’s instant #1 New York Times, #1 Wall Street Journal, and internationally bestselling novel, Lightlark.
Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned. As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart.
Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.

A Legend Reborn The world's most infamous hunter, Nikolas Rokoff,
is sent into the jungle to steal a rare prize from Tarzan's camp.
But Tarzan and his friends Jane and Robbie will stop at nothing to
track him down-crossing the wild rainforest and hostile African
savannah on a daring rescue mission. At the same time, Jane tries
to learn more about Tarzan's past, and must decide whether
reuniting him with his lost family is the right thing to do. And
Robbie is torn by a plan that would keep the secrets of his own
past safe, but might get rid of Tarzan for good. Lured to the city,
Tarzan is forced to confront his greatest enemy. But time is
running out-and no one can be trusted. "I fell in love with Edgar
Rice Burroughs' Tarzan when I was 11 years old, and was jealous
when he married that silly Jane. I would have been even more
jealous of the Jane in Tarzan: The Greystoke Legacy. She is not
silly at all And what a stroke of brilliance to transform Tarzan
into an eco-warrior. The Lord of the Jungle is with us still."
