Wily has never seen the sun or a blue sky or even his parents. He lives underground, creating traps to keep treasure-seekers away from the gold in an ancient wizard's dungeon. He spends his days mopping up giant slug slime, avoiding poison darts, and herding undead skeletons. It's all he knows. But then an unusual band of adventurers - an acrobatic elf, a warrior with a magic arm, and a giant made of moss - successfully defeat Wily's traps. And they want the ultimate treasure: Wily himself. 

Chopping blades, scorpion nests, giant spider webs—no one makes traps better than Wily Snare. He has never seen the sun or a blue sky or even his parents. Wily Snare lives underground, creating traps to keep treasure-seekers away from the gold in an ancient wizard's dungeon. He spends his days mopping up giant-slug slime, avoiding poison darts, and herding undead skeletons. It's all he knows.

Thanks to a crew of misfit treasure-seekers, Wily Snare has assumed his rightful place as King of Panthasos. He knows how to be a great trapsmith—devising and building various contraptions to keep plunderers at bay—but he has no idea how to be a good king. And he hasn't escaped his past. Stalag, the mage who once kept him locked away, is amassing an army of stone soldiers to seize the kingdom. His only hope is to tame a lair beast—a giant creature that's their only chance against the evil wizard's army.

Lebst du das Leben, das du dir schon immer gewünscht hast? Der neue Liebesroman von Bestsellerautorin Katie Jay Adams. Weltenbummlerin Lina glaubt nicht daran, dass Wünsche wahr werden können. Vor allem, da sie gerade von ihrem Freund versetzt und als Hotelmanagerin anstatt nach Abu Dhabi in ein Fischerdorf an die Ostsee geschickt wurde. Ausgerechnet an den Ort ihrer Kindheit.

Estelle Li is a young and aspiring Chinese American model who’s equally vulnerable as she is strong and independent. She’s willing to sacrifice everything and do whatever it takes to achieve her dream of becoming the next top model. This sort of mindset is undoubtedly required to become a top fashion model, with competition high and opportunities few and far between. But it comes at a high price. Will Estelle Li become the model she’s always dreamed of being? Or will the fashion industry chew her up and spit her out?

Three middle aged guys who are sometimes woefully unprepared for what their lives, wives, kids, and technology have to throw at them.

Mit Herz und Temperament schreibt BILD-Bestsellerautorin Katie Jay Adams über das wahre Leben und die Liebe. Der perfekte Ort für eine kuschelige Auszeit und einen sonnigen Neuanfang? So würde die liebenswerte Konditorin Mila das verregnete Hamburg nicht gerade beschreiben. Erst recht nicht die verfallene Gründerzeitvilla, die ihr wohlhabender Vater ihr als neues Zuhause anpreist. Sie soll das Haus auf Vordermann bringen - in nur 28 Tagen! Der griesgrämige Mieter Henning ist dabei keine echte Hilfe, wirbelt aber Milas Gefühlswelt ordentlich durcheinander.

Er: Hat ihr ein Versprechen gegeben, das er nicht einlösen konnte. Sie: Hat ihm nicht die Wahrheit gesagt. DER Sommerroman 2020 von Bestsellerautorin Katie Jay Adams. Gerade vergnügte Ella sich noch in der Glamourwelt von L.A., da plant ihr Bruder, das elterliche Anwesen in eine Oldtimer-Werkstatt zu verwandeln, ihre strenge Chefin spielt wegen einer internationalen Kekskampagne verrückt und ihre beste Freundin sitzt ganz schön in der Klemme.

Was tust du, wenn du nur eine einzige Chance hast, dein Glück zu finden? Ein gebrochenes Herz und ein Jetset-Leben, das einem Scherbenhaufen gleicht - viel schlimmer hätte es für die junge Emily Carsen nicht kommen können. Voller Tatendrang versucht sie in ihrer Heimatstadt einen Neuanfang, und das auf engstem Raum mit ihrem hypochondrischen Vater und ihrer gehbehinderten Schwester. Ganz unverhofft erhält sie ein lukratives Jobangebot, das alles verändern könnte – wäre nicht zuerst ein streng gehütetes Geschäftsgeheimnis zu lüften.

Was tust du, wenn 504 Stunden zur größten Herausforderung deines Lebens werden? An das Glück glaubt Annie Clark nicht. Schließlich hat sie gerade ihren Job verloren. Außerdem muss sie dringend 49.904 Dollar und 12 Cent auftreiben, um zu verhindern, dass ihre exzentrische Mutter und ihr autistischer Bruder auf der Straße landen. Für so etwas wie die Liebe hat sie wirklich keine Zeit. Doch dann trifft sie den smarten Jonathan Holden mit den unwiderstehlichen lichtblauen Augen.

Macau, New Orleans, St. Louis, Pittsburgh, and San Francisco. All of these metropolitan centers were once frontier cities, urban areas irrevocably shaped by cross-cultural borderland beginnings. Spanning a wide range of periods and locations, and including stories of 18th-century Detroit, 19th-century Seattle, and 20th-century Los Angeles, Frontier Cities recovers the history of these urban places and shows how, from the start, natives and newcomers alike shared streets, buildings, and interwoven lives.

In Fit for the Pulpit, a host of preachers dispense comfort and counsel to their brothers in the trenches, men who often work in ministerial isolation as they seek to build up the body of Christ. Chris McCurley, the editor of this volume, has assembled ten different writers to cover a wide swath of material. In eleven chapters, McCurley and his colleagues manage to cover many of the areas wherein preachers need continual encouragement.
