My mate didn’t just reject me. He tried to have me killed. Now, if I want to stop something terrible from happening, I’m going to have to track down the man who broke me, and save his life.

Everything was perfect until a powerful curse transformed my sleek wolf body into something horrific. Vile and evil, he never gave me a chance to explain. He simply saw me for what I had become and ordered the pack to kill me, before I could spread the madness of the curse to anyone else. Rejected by the man I loved and on the run from the people who I once called friends, I can’t stop moving. But I can’t keep this up forever. I must find a cure for my curse. To do that, I’ll have to journey to a place I’ve only ever heard of, but never seen: the Library of Avalon.

On the full moon after my 21st birthday, I was supposed to go through my first shift. Instead, I was left to huddle alone in the cold, a failure who couldn’t do the one thing expected of her. Now I have no mate, and I’m wondering if sticking with the pack is even worth it. Maybe it’s time I live among humans. That’s when a vampire shows up at my door and says he wants to claim me. While I might not know what I am, I’m pretty fricking certain that I’m not going to be mated to a bloodsucker. He might be a good friend, but that’s all he’ll ever be to me.

Investigating odd mooing sounds in the middle of the night, Adam is led to his hot next-door-neighbor's living room, where he finds June slowly turning into a hucow. With eight succulent orbs on her stomach and chest and growing larger by the minute, she begs for him to help her. They enlist the help of her close friend and farmer, Carla, who brings over pumping equipment and milk canisters to help stem the flow.

Kasperi and his fellow bear shifters have been dispatched to investigate reports of magic being used in Plymouth Falls. Now, hot on the heels of the rogue mage, he readies his weapon and prepares to rid the world of yet another enemy. But he stays his hand at the sight of the beautiful but beleaguered woman, alone in the forest, moments from freezing to death. She's no threat to him, is she? His fellow shifters disagree, but Kasperi knows they're wrong. This woman needs aid, not the blade of his sword.

When the sheriff assigns Rachel Corningstone to solve the greatest crime spree in Plymouth Falls history, she knows this is her shot. The big-city detective will prove to her new peers that she's more than just a pretty face. When a civilian consultant is forced upon her as a partner though, it might just be more than she can handle...Sent to the town of Plymouth Falls, bear shifter Khove has one mission: to find the traitor to House Ursa and kill him. It's a race against time, and Khove can't afford any distractions, but how is he supposed to stop himself from claiming his mate?

When Jessica flees the vicious werewolves for what she hopes will be the safety of House Ursa, she never expects anything more than a cold welcome. After all, she's spent years listening to her sister's mate preaching about the evil bear shifters. Now, one of those same bear shifters has been assigned as her guardian. Handsome, kind, and utterly protective, she can't help but think it's an act. Klaue has never been sure quite how he will meet his mate but watching her crash into a tree while she's running from the wolves of House Canis is definitely not it.

War tore me from home and dumped me on Novaria. My only hope lies in pleasing a brute. I'm sent to him as a tribute. I have one chance to entice him. Only one shot to win his good graces. The thing is...I'm not such an innocent waif myself. I'm used to men who hurt me. That take my heart and rip it to shreds. So the first touch of kindness from this scaly alien has me on edge. What is he preparing me for? How is he going to wound me?

In "Bulemanns Haus", einer der dunkelsten Novellen Theodor Storms, begegnen wir dem eigenbrötlerischen Herrn Bulemann, einem alten Seemann, der sich von der Welt abgewendet hat. Nach dem Tod seines Vaters lebt er allein im geerbten Haus und verkauft dessen Pfandstücke skrupellos weiter. Als er seiner verzweifelten Halbschwester jede Hilfe verweigert und sogar ihren Sohn abstößt, trifft ihn ein Fluch – und bald beginnen sich seine geliebten Katzen auf schauerliche Weise zu verändern…

"Der Spiegel des Cyprianus" zählt zu den besonders spannenden Novellen Theodor Storms. Im Zentrum steht ein geheimnisvoller Zauberspiegel auf einem Grafenschloss, der die Zukunft offenbart. Zunächst erfüllt sich der sehnliche Kinderwunsch der Gräfin – doch mit ihrem Tod nimmt ein düsteres Ränkespiel seinen Lauf: Ihre skrupellose Nachfolgerin plant kaltblütig den Aufstieg ihres eigenen Sohnes und schreckt dabei auch vor Mord nicht zurück. Ein packendes Kammerspiel aus Leidenschaft, Gier und dunkler Magie – atmosphärisch dicht und psychologisch raffiniert erzählt.

In Eine Halligfahrt besucht der Erzähler seinen alten Vetter auf einer abgelegenen Hallig – einer kleinen, nordfriesischen Insel im Meer. Was zunächst wie ein ruhiger Ausflug in die Abgeschiedenheit wirkt, wird zur Begegnung mit einer bewegten Vergangenheit. Nach und nach offenbart sich, dass der vermeintliche Einsiedler einst eine große Liebe verlor – und der Erzähler beginnt, Parallelen zu seinem eigenen Leben zu erkennen.

In feiner, poetischer Sprache schildert er die stille Tragik verpasster Liebe: Reinhard und Elisabeth wachsen miteinander auf und sind einander innig verbunden. Doch als Reinhard zum Studium geht, verliert er sich in der Welt des Geistes – und Elisabeth bleibt zurück. Während sie zunehmend von dem geduldigen Erich umworben wird, entfernt sich Reinhard. Erst Jahre später, als sich alle drei am Immensee wiedersehen, erkennt Reinhard, was er verloren hat. Ein leises, berührendes Werk über Erinnerung, Verzicht und unerfüllte Liebe – schlicht, aber zeitlos schön.
