From the bestselling author of The Glassblower Trilogy comes an
inspiring historical saga of a female photographer who must defy
convention to live her dreams in turn-of-the-century Germany. In
1905, on her twenty-sixth birthday, Mimi Reventlow receives a
marriage proposal from the vicar of her family’s church. But a
future of housework, childcare, and servicing a parish doesn’t
appeal to the restless and unconventional Mimi. She has ambitions
of her own—to follow in the footsteps of her beloved uncle Josef
and become a traveling photographer. Leaving behind all that has
been mapped out for her, Mimi dares to pursue her passion and sets
out alone to make her own mark. A visit to her ailing uncle in the
idyllic mountain town of Laichingen, Germany, pauses Mimi’s
journey. Here, among provincialism and rejection, she struggles to
find her place within a vibrant but wary community. But Mimi’s
resilience is only strengthened by adversity. Her courage is
indomitable. Maybe here, among surprising kindred spirits and
longing hearts, in a place she never expected, Mimi’s dreams
might be coming into focus.
The first in a new series from Petra Durst-Benning, the bestselling
author of The Glassblower series. An inspiring historical tale of
one woman risking it all for her dreams set in 1890s Berlin. After
the tragic death of her little brother, Josephine travels to the
Black Forest to heal. There she discovers a feeling of freedom
astride a brand-new invention: the bicycle. The very idea of a
woman on a bicycle is beyond taboo-it is indecent and even
illegal-but Josephine will not be deterred. Back home, Josephine
rides under cover of night, while the world is still asleep so as
not to provoke a scandal. But Berlin's streets are dangerous and
the winds of change are blowing. Can Josephine's fighting heart
help her overcome the obstacles in her path? Will the passion she
feels for this new adventure lead her toward true love?

The battle for sovereignty over the realms reaches a devastating
turning point as the international bestselling fantasy series
continues. All that stands between the advancing army of trolls and
the endangered fortress of Phylangan is a coalition force led by
Alfadas, human hero and protector. He's amassed his own legion of
swordsmen, elves, and ragtag thieves to stave off the enemy. And
the next move they make could be the most dangerous one of all.
Those Alfadas has left behind are more vulnerable than
ever-including his star-crossed elven love; their newborn child;
and Queen Emerelle herself, who remains comatose and is powerless
to safeguard her compromised kingdom. But as Alfadas risks all in
the violent campaign of the realms, the fate of Phylangan trembles
ever more as the enemy advances. However tenuous Alfadas's victory
is, what he fears most is what will be left of the homeland he
abandoned...
