In the wake of a climactic battle in the ruined city of Babel, two former best friends suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of the same quest. Eve is torn between the memories of the girl she was, and the synthetic she's discovered herself to be. Together with her lifelike siblings Mercy and Gabriel, Eve sets out to find the real Ana Monrova, whose DNA is the key to unlocking the supercomputer that will enable them to build an army of lifelikes. Meanwhile, Eve's best friend, Lemon, is coming to terms with a power that she has long denied--and that others want only to harness as a weapon. When she meets an intriguing boy named Grimm, he offers to lead her out of the horror-ridden landscape and to an enclave of other abnorms like herself. There, Lemon quickly finds a sense of belonging--and perhaps even love--among the other genetic deviates. But all is not what it seems, and with enemies and friends, heroes and villains wearing interchangeable faces, Lemon, too, will join the race to locate Ana Monrova before her former best friend can get to her.
Best friends have become enemies. Lovers have become strangers. And deciding whose side you're on could be the difference between life and death. For Eve and Lemon, discovering the truth about themselves--and each other--was too much for their friendship to take. But with the country on the brink of a new world war--this time between the BioMaas swarm at CityHive and Daedalus's army at Megopolis, loyalties will be pushed to the brink, unlikely alliances will form and with them, betrayals. But the threat doesn't stop there, because the lifelikes are determined to access the program that will set every robot free, a task requiring both Eve and Ana, the girl she was created to replace. In the end, violent clashes and heartbreaking choices reveal the true heroes . . . and they may not be who you think they are

On an island junkyard beneath a sky that glows with radiation, a deadly secret lies buried in the scrap. Seventeen-year-old Eve isn't looking for trouble--she's too busy looking over her shoulder. The robot gladiator she spent months building has been reduced to a smoking wreck, she's on the local gangster's wanted list, and the only thing keeping her grandpa alive is the money she just lost to the bookies. Worst of all, she's discovered she can somehow destroy machines with the power of her mind, and a bunch of puritanical fanatics are building a coffin her size because of it. If she's ever had a worse day, Eve can't remember it. The problem is, Eve has had a worse day--one that lingers in her nightmares and the cybernetic implant where her memories used to be. Her discovery of a handsome android named Ezekiel--called a "Lifelike" because they resemble humans--will bring her world crashing down and make her question whether her entire life is a lie. With her best friend Lemon Fresh and her robotic sidekick Cricket in tow, Eve will trek across deserts of glass, battle unkillable bots, and infiltrate towering megacities to save the ones she loves...and learn the truth about the bloody secrets of her past.

Band 3
Die Vorgeschichte der epischen neuen Fantasy-Reihe von Bestsellerautor JAY KRISTOFF spielt im feudalen Japan und entführt die Leser in eine Steampunk-Welt am Rande des Untergangs. Dem Inselreich Shima droht ein ökologischer Kollaps, verursacht durch die unaufhaltsame Industrialisierung der Lotusgilde. Der Himmel ist rot wie Blut, die Erde vergiftet, und die einst mächtigen Naturgeister sind verschwunden. Die Novelle „Last Stormdancer“ spielt 100 Jahre vor der Hauptreihe und beleuchtet die Entstehung der Gilde sowie die Flucht der Donnertiger aus Shima. Aus der Perspektive einer Donnertigerin erzählt, bietet sie einen faszinierenden Einblick in die geschichtlichen Ereignisse, die Yukikos und Buruus Heldenreise prägen. Ergänzt wird die Novelle durch die poetische Kurzgeschichte „Wollte es doch regnen“, die 2013 den Aurealis Award for Best Fantasy Short Fiction gewann. Diese erzählt von Miho, einem Mädchen mit der Fähigkeit, mit Tieren zu sprechen, und ihrer Liebe zu einem jungen Raffineriearbeiter. Zudem malt die Geschichte ein eindrucksvolles Bild der sterbenden Stadt Kigen, die den Lesern bereits aus der Hauptreihe bekannt ist.
Das spektakuläre Finale von Jay Kristoffs epischer Fantasy-Bestsellertrilogie um „Das Reich der Vampire“. Gabriel de León hat seine Familie, seinen Glauben und seine letzte Hoffnung auf ein Ende der endlosen Nacht verloren – den Heiligen Gral, Dior. Einzig der Gedanke an Rache hält ihn aufrecht. Also begibt er sich mit einer Gruppe treuer Freunde in das vom Krieg zerrüttete Herz des Reiches, um den Ewigen König zu töten. Doch Gabriel irrt. Dior hat den eigenen Tod überlebt – und eilt in der schwachen Hoffnung, den Tagestod für immer zu beenden, ebenfalls auf die belagerte Hauptstadt zu. Doch auch die Legionen des Ewigen Königs rücken immer näher. Gabriel und Dior werden in eine letzte Schlacht verwickelt, die das Schicksal des Reiches entscheiden wird, aber als die Sonne zum vielleicht letzten Mal untergeht, gibt es niemanden mehr, dem sie vertrauen können. Nicht einmal einander. Band 1: Das Reich der Vampire. A Tale of Pain and Hope Band 2: Das Reich der Verdammten. A Tale of Blood and Darkness
