Catalia "Cat" Fisa is a powerful clairvoyant known as the Kingmaker. This smart-mouthed soothsayer has no interest in her powers and would much rather fly under the radar, far from the clutches of her homicidal mother. But when an ambitious warlord captures her, she may not have a choice. Griffin is intent on bringing peace to his newly conquered realm in the magic-deprived south. When he discovers Cat is the Kingmaker, he abducts her.

Catalia "Cat" Fisa has been running from her destiny since she could crawl. But now her newfound loved ones are caught between the shadow of Cat's tortured past and the threat of her world-shattering future. So what's a girl to do when she knows it's her fate to be the harbinger of doom? Everything in her power.

The destiny Catalia "Cat" Fisa has spent her entire life running from has finally caught up to her. But in order to truly accept her fate and become Queen of Thalyria, Cat and her dedicated husband Griffin Sinta will have to go to war with the severely oppressed Fisa - and it's violent alpha, Cat's homicidal mother. But when Cat's magic refuses to work like it should, she has to unleash the power she's been afraid of. And when her misuse of the god's gifts lands her in Tartarus, a land reserved for eternal punishment, Cat will have to accept herself - past, present, and future - if she wants any chance of making it out alive.

Captain Tess Bailey is in deep trouble. She and her crew are on the run, pursued by a tyrant who'll take them dead or alive. Tess's best hope is a tall, dark, and much-too-appealing stranger, Shade Ganavan, who says he can help her. But his motivations are far from clear. With the dreaded Dark Watch closing in, what Tess and Shade don't know about each other might get them killed, unless they can set aside their differences and learn to trust each other before it's too late.

The queen has been cursed, and no one knows who's behind the plot to threaten the realm's fragile peace. Desperate to help, Jocasta hatches a plan to find Circe's Garden, a fabled island where she hopes to discover an antidote. But she can't do it alone. She needs the strong arm and unflinching bravery of the warrior she's loved since childhood—her brother's right-hand-man and captain of the guard, Flynn of Sinta. Together they can do the impossible. Yet with treachery brewing on Mount Olympus, one thing is clear: Thalyria and its new royals are still pawns in an epic game of power.

Piers, an exiled warrior from Thalyria, finds himself in the Big Apple just before the holidays. The world and everything in it might be utterly foreign to him, but that won't stop Piers from helping to complete a vital mission for Athena. His goal? To protect Sophie, a French teacher from Connecticut who's suddenly knee-deep in inexplicable phenomena, danger, and henchmen after an Olympian treasure that should never have ended up in her hands—or remained on Earth after the Greek gods abandoned it.

Captain Tess Bailey and Shade Ganavan are still the galaxy's Most Wanted, and with revolution in the wind and the universe on the brink of catastrophic war, the situation couldn't be more desperate. Despite the Dark Watch scouring the known sectors for them, rebel leaders have handed the crew of the Endeavor a delicate and dangerous mission: break into Starbase 12 and free renowned scientist Reena Ahern. She's the only one who stands a chance of tipping the odds in their favor for the first time in decades.

DER ERSTE BLICK - ein elektrisierender Moment. Sie ist die Frau, nach der Griffin so lange gesucht hat. Ihre erste Begegnung ist noch überwältigender, als er es sich je hätte vorstellen können. Eine Magierin, die sein Land retten könnte. Eine Frau, die sein Herz zum Brennen bringt - Dieses Prequel zur fantastischen "Tochter der Götter"-Trilogie schildert aus Griffins Sicht die erste Begegnung zwischen ihm und der Protagonistin Cat.

Wie viel Pech kann man eigentlich haben? Man würde doch meinen, dass eine blutrünstige Mutter ausreicht. Aber nein, Cat muss sich auch noch mit einer Prophezeiung der Götter herumschlagen, in der es um nicht weniger als das Schicksal der Welt geht. Ist es da ein Wunder, dass sie den Großteil ihres Lebens auf der Flucht verbracht hat? Doch nun hat sie keine andere Wahl mehr, als sich ihrer Mutter und den Göttern zu stellen. Wenigsten ist sie nicht allein. An ihrer Seite steht der verführerische Kriegsherr Griffin.

Politik! Pah! In Thalyria sind die besten Politiker diejenigen, die einem den Dolch ins Herz rammen, bevor man sie kommen sieht. Und deshalb hält Cat sich von allem fern, was auch nur entfernt mit Politik zu tun hat. Egal, ob es um grausame Adlige aus dem mächtigen Norden geht oder um einfache Rebellen, die im magiearmen Süden gerade den Adel entthront haben. Dummerweise braucht der Anführer dieser Rebellen nun Cats Hilfe, um seine Macht zu sichern. Und er holt sie sich, ob Cat will oder nicht.

Sterben ist eigentlich gar nicht so schlimm, oder? Verdammt, doch das ist! Vor allem, wenn man wie Cat gerade eine Entdeckung gemacht hat, die ihr ganzes Leben verändert. Und auch das ihrer großen Liebe Griffin. Dummerweise scheint der Kampf gegen Cats ebenso grausame wie übermächtige Mutter hoffnungslos. Jeder ihrer Schachzüge gelingt, während Cats magische Fähigkeiten nicht so funktionieren, wie sie sollten. Doch die Götter haben Pläne mit ihr.
