In a fit of drunken bitterness, a young hay trusser, Michael Henchard, sells his wife, Susan, to Mr. Newson, a sailor, at a country fair. The transaction also includes their daughter, Elizabeth Jane.

Yet another adventure with Prince Carvallo and the three children. Soon after their last adventure in the garden of the evil sorceress, Sandra, Sigurd, and Monika are visited by the prince once again. This time, however, he is the one to suffer at the hands of the evil ruler of Isengrim in the land of cold winter. Of course that our friends want to save the prince, but the fortress appears impregnable.

"The Dragon King’s Daughter" is the last book about the adventures of Prince Carvallo and our beloved friends. After serious exploration and searching, the prince’s native world is finally found. They all go there, but things are not what they expected. The whole planet is covered with living dragons, and Carvallo’s people are nowhere to be found. Will his misfortunes never end? It is more than a satisfying conclusion to a remarkable series, teeming not only with dragons, sorceresses, and demons, but with emotions, kindness, and friendship.

Prince Carvallo’s second name is adventure. Or perhaps trouble. This time, he takes us to a cold and inhospitable world of mysteries. Behind the stormy weather conditions lurk scary demons that are ready to strike. And when Monika disappears, the rescue mission is the first and foremost thing on the agenda for our friends. But they are in for a shock, for nothing on this strange, demonic world is what it seems.

A magical prince appears before them, and takes them to a most extraordinary adventure, where magic and fantastical episodes reign supreme. But when one of the children suffers at the hands of an evil sorceress, things are about to get ugly.

Wagner ist preisgekrönter Fußballjournalist – und trinkt montags am liebsten Ginger Beer. Thomas Seidl ist Stadionsprecher des SK Sturm Graz – hat aber für einen anderen Grazer Verein in der Jugend gegen David Alaba gezaubert. Gemeinsam binge-watchen die Traditionspodcaster (#seit2018) nicht Premier League oder streamen La Liga. Für das #dbldw-Trio gibt es nur eine beste Liga der Welt: die österreichische Bundesliga.

Der Financial-Times-Journalist Dan McCrum hat getan, wofür eigentlich Wirtschaftsprüfer und Finanzaufsicht zuständig sind: Er hat den größten Betrug der DAX-Geschichte aufgedeckt. Die Geschichte klingt filmreif: Wirecard, neben SAP das einzige deutsche Tech-Vorzeigeunternehmen, wird gehypt und übertrifft sogar den Börsenwert der Deutschen Bank. Der bargeldlose Zahlungsverkehr von Onlinegeschäften und Kreditkarten scheint ein überzeugendes Geschäftsmodell, eine Banklizenz eröffnet weitere Möglichkeiten.
