August Gottlieb Meißner hat Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts Kriminalfälle gesammelt (großenteils aus Gerichtsakten) und aus ihnen mit Sinn und Kenntnis und in gutes elegantes Deutsch gebracht, die ersten deutschsprachigen Krimis verfasst. Diese Erzählungen - seinerzeit Bestseller - geben Einblick in die Psychen der Verirrten, in die Gründe für ihre Taten und in die Gepflogenheiten der Gesellschaft des 18. Jahrhunderts, die sich grade erst mühselig aus der selbstverschuldeten Unmündigkeit zu befreien sucht. Interessant und unterhaltend.

Karl August Böttiger war Zeitgenosse der großen Dichter und Denker von Weimar – und hielt alles fest, was ihm in die Quere kam: Stimmen und Bilder, Klatsch und Tratsch. Heute würde man Böttiger Züge eines Paparazzos zuschreiben, wenn er etwa über Goethes Häuslichkeit schreibt: "Abends sitzt er in einer wohlgeheizten Stube, eine weiße Fuhrmannsmütze auf dem Kopf, ein Moltumjäckchen und lange Flauschpantalons an." Böttiger machte sich mit seinen Schriften in Weimar so unbeliebt, dass er 1804 die Stadt verlassen musste.

Old enemies seek revenge, and new opponents hunger for Kincaid's power. Knowledge tempts Kincaid to leave his artisan life far from the clutches of magic for a venerable city living in the shadows of its former glory. An ancient cult hides within the folds of religious orders and craves Kincaid's abilities as an archmagi. He is the key to unleashing the bonds of magic. Only his steadfast friends and his abilities as a Chronomancer stand between him and this ruthless organization's goal to redefine the structure of arcane might.

Another orphan discovers her arcane power and finds herself in the crosshairs of a hunting wizard. Lin must flee her home and seek help in the the far north. Ancient magic and myths come to life, but will it be enough to save Lin and her new companion? Lin must answer life's toughest questions. What would you pay for your freedom, to protect those who protect you, to save the ones you love? Would you be willing to risk it all even when you knew the price was your life? These are the same questions Kincaid must answer, but the outcome is very different.
