Ønskeliste Mars

Nothing but death can keep eighteen-year-old Gideon Blake from achieving his goal of becoming a U.S. Army Ranger. As it turns out, it does.

While recovering from the accident that most definitely killed him, Gideon finds himself with strange new powers and a bizarre cuff he can’t remove. His death has brought to life his real destiny. He has become War, one of the legendary four horsemen of the apocalypse.

Over the coming weeks, he and the other horsemen—Conquest, Famine, and Death—are brought together by a beautiful but frustratingly secretive girl to help save humanity from an ancient evil on the emergence.

They fail.

Now—bound, bloodied, and drugged—Gideon is interrogated by the authorities about his role in a battle that has become an international incident. If he stands any chance of saving his friends and the girl he’s fallen for—not to mention all of humankind—he needs to convince the skeptical government officials the world is in imminent danger. /Goodreads/

Fra forfatteren av Orkideens hemmelighet, Midnattsrosen og De syv Søstre
Etter tretti år kommer Greta Marchmont tilbake til herskapshuset Marchmont Hall, som ligger idyllisk til mellom de snødekte fjellene i Wales. Hun lider av hukommelsestap etter å ha vært utsatt for en tragisk ulykke, og husker ingenting fra fortiden. På en spasertur gjennom det vinterlige landskapet gjør hun en urovekkende oppdagelse. Hun støter på en grav i skogen, og den forvitrede inskripsjonen på støtten viser at her er en liten gutt begravd - hennes egen sønn. Greta er dypt sjokkert, og begynner å lete etter den personen hun en gang var. Da kommer en sannhet for dagen som er så vond at Greta må mobilisere alle sine krefter for å klare å takle det./CappelenDamm/

 If there’s one thing Mare Barrow knows, it’s that she’s different.

Mare Barrow’s blood is red—the color of common folk—but her Silver ability, the power to control lightning, has turned her into a weapon that the royal court tries to control. The crown calls her an impossibility, a fake, but as she makes her escape from Maven, the prince—the friend—who betrayed her, Mare uncovers something startling: she is not the only one of her kind.

Pursued by Maven, now a vindictive king, Mare sets out to find and recruit other Red-and-Silver fighters to join in the struggle against her oppressors. But Mare finds herself on a deadly path, at risk of becoming exactly the kind of monster she is trying to defeat.

Will she shatter under the weight of the lives that are the cost of rebellion? Or have treachery and betrayal hardened her forever? /Goodreads/
