Bücher der Reihe A Covenant of Thorns

Be careful what you wish for…. When I walked out on my awful boyfriend, wishing to be somewhere-anywhere-else, I never expected to wake up in Faerie. And, as a scientist, I find it even harder to believe that I now seem to be a sorceress.A pretty crappy sorceress, it turns out, because every thought that crosses my mind becomes suddenly and frighteningly real-including the black dog that has long haunted my nightmares. Now I'm a captive, a pawn for the fae lord, Rogue, and the feral and treacherous Faerie court, all vying to control me and the vast powers I don't understand. Worse, Rogue, the closest thing I have to a friend in this place, is intent on seducing me. He's the most beautiful man I've ever seen, enthralling, tempting, and lethally dangerous. He's as devastatingly clever as he is alluring, and he tricks me into promising him my firstborn child, which he intends to sire… I don't dare give into him. I may not have the willpower to resist him. He's my only protection against those who would destroy me Unless I can learn to use my magic.

One does not break an oath to the fae…But I am getting much better at finding and exploiting the loopholes. I may have promised the ruthlessly sensual fae lord, Rogue, that he can sire my firstborn child-but I never said when. And I'm not giving into his will-eroding attempts to seduce me until he tells me what will happen to my child.Which he refuses to do.So, I'm holding out against his allure, no matter how he tantalizes me, because the one way to protect my child is to make sure they're never born. Unfortunately, Rogue is as wily as he is persistent, and soon I find myself in more bargains-I must give him a kiss every day and sleep by his side at night. Even as I travel through Faerie, perfecting my sorceress skills and seeking the answers to the questions Rogue won't-or can't-answer, he is constantly by my side, working his way through my defenses.He refuses to let me go. Most terrifying of all, I'm finding I don't want him to…

Faerie, the land of blood, magic, and betrayal... At last, the fae lord, Rogue, has won everything. He has me in his home, his bed, and I'm desperately in love with him despite my best efforts and better judgment. Did I mention I'm pregnant? As our child grows inside me, the one I'm pledged to give to him, I still have no idea what will happen after the birth. Though Rogue is attentive in every way a woman could wish for, bringing me delirious pleasure and gifts beyond price, he still won't-or can't-tell me what game he's playing. Or what the viciously sadistic Queen Titania has to do with our many bargains. I'm most afraid that, if he betrays us, I'll never be able to forgive him. Even though I can't stop loving him. As war threatens everything we've built, as my body swells with the enchanted pregnancy, I become more certain with every day that the true enemy lurks within our castle walls. And that the man I've vowed eternal commitment to, may be the last person I can trust...
