For generations, the Slayer was supposed to be the chosen, the one girl in all the world with the power to stand against the vampires, demons, and forces of darkness.

Then the Darkness came, killing many slayers and trapping the rest in an alternate dimension. And Frankie Rosenberg, the world’s first Slayer-Witch, found herself fighting evil alone. Sort of.

Sigmund is burying his broken heart in books. And Frankie's mom, Willow, and Watcher, Spike, only seem to care about bringing Buffy back. Now, Frankie must forge her own path, save the slayers, reunite her friends, and lead the charge to defeat the Darkness once and for all.

"A worthy successor to the Slayer stories." —Booklist (starred review for In Every Generation) Into every generation, a slayer is born. One girl in all the world . . . sort of. Frankie Rosenberg is the world's first slayer-witch, but she doesn't have that slay-life balance figured out just yet. She's still reeling from the deadly explosion at the anual slayer retreat—and new evidence that some slayers may have survived. And while she's defeated her first Big Bad, Frankie soon realizes it was just a warm-up act. Bigger, badder forces of evil are just getting started. The Hellmouth has been reawakened and its calling old friends home. Portals are opening between Sunnydale and other dimensions. And the Scooby Gang has too many demons to contend with—real, metaphorical, and sometimes absurdly hot. Then an oracle warns of a new foe on its way: the Darkness. Could this be what attacked the slayers? And is it coming for Frankie? New York Times best-selling author Kendare Blake takes readers back to the demon capital of the world in this sequel to In Every Generation.
Frankie Rosenberg wasn't yet alive when her mom, Willow, her aunt Buffy, and the original Scooby Gang destroyed the Hellmouth and saved the world from the First Evil. These days, life in New Sunnydale is blissfully quiet. Frankie is just trying to survive her sophomore year at the rebuilt high school and use her budding magical powers to make the world a better place. But that world is suddenly plunged into danger when the slayer community is the target of a deadly attack, leaving the future of the line uncertain. Then Frankie discovers she's sort of freakishly strong. Oh, and there's something Willow never told her about her true identity. Cue the opening credits. Quicker than she can carve a stake, Frankie discovers there's more to saving the world than witty one-liners and stupid hot demons. now everyone looks to her for answers, but speaking up has never been her strong suit. And it's hard to be taken seriously when your mom is such a powerful witch she almost ended the world once, while your greatest magic trick is recycling. Despite the many challenges standing in her way, Frankie must assemble her own bumbling Scooby Gang, get dressed up in Buffy's (vintage '90s) clothes, and become a new slayer for a new generation -- before whatever came for the rest of the slayers comes for her next

Five Dark Fates is the epic conclusion to Kendare Blake's bestselling Three Dark Crowns series.

Каатрина - отравительница, которая без труда может поглотить столько смертоносного яда, сколько сместить ее желудок. Арсинойя - природница, чей дар заставляет заалеть даже самый сонный бутон посреди зимы и может подчинить волю самого свирепого льва. В это битве невозможно выиграть или проиграть - можно лишь погибнуть или остаться в живых. Каждая из тройняшек готова уничтожить свою сестру. И лишь достойная взойдет на трон.
The Queens of Fennbirn contains two gripping stories from the New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns universe, written by Kendare Blake.The Young Queens is the story of the three queens when they were born, before they were separated - it gives a short glimpse of the time when they all lived together, loved each other and protected one another. It's also the story of the day they were torn apart and the immediate years that followed before the opening of Three Dark Crowns.The Oracle Queen - historically, baby queens born with the sight gift were drowned. This had been the practice for hundreds of years, so long that few were even born any more, as if the Goddess knew it would be a waste. It is a harsh sentence, but necessary, for it is well-known that in a queen the sight gift will run strong. Strong enough to drive her mad. This is the tale of the last sight-gift queen to be allowed to live. She was overcome by paranoia and false visions, driven past the brink by the phantom thoughts of others in her head, so she set upon the capital with bloody ruin, murdering whole houses, whole family lines, without trial. Or at least, that is how the tale is told. This is her story.
THE BATTLE FOR THE CROWN HAS BEGUN, BUT WHICH OF THE THREE SISTERS WILL PREVAIL? With the unforgettable events of the Quickening behind them and the Ascension Year underway, all bets are off. Katharine, once the weak and feeble sister, is stronger than ever before. Arsinoe, after discovering the truth about her powers, must figure out how to make her secret talent work in her favor without anyone finding out. And Mirabella, once thought to be the strongest sister of all and the certain Queen Crowned, faces attacks like never before—ones that put those around her in danger she can’t seem to prevent. In this enthralling sequel to Kendare Blake’s New York Times bestselling Three Dark Crowns, Fennbirn’s deadliest queens must face the one thing standing in their way of the crown: each other.
Kendare Blake nous plonge dans le troisième tome tant attendu de la série Three Dark Crowns. Alors qu'Arsinoe, Mirabella et Katharine ont chacune des comptes à régler, elles ne sont pas les seules reines à semer le trouble sur l'île de Fennbirn. La reine Katharine a attendu toute sa vie pour porter la couronne, mais maintenant qu'elle l'a enfin, les murmures de dissentiment s'intensifient. De plus, la question alarmante de la survie de ses sœurs se pose : sont-elles vraiment mortes ou attendent-elles dans l'ombre pour usurper le trône ? Mirabella et Arsinoe sont vivantes, mais cachées sur le continent, confrontées à un cauchemar : la visite répétée d'un spectre qu'elles pensent être la légendaire Reine Bleue. Bien qu'elle ne dise rien, son doigt osseux pointant vers la mer est clair : retournez à Fennbirn. Jules, quant à elle, se trouve dans une situation étrange, déguisée, et ses seules confidentes, une fille douée pour la guerre nommée Emilia et son amie oracle Mathilde, l'incitent à endosser un rôle qu'elle ne peut imaginer : celui d'une reine maudite qui mènera une armée rebelle jusqu'à la porte de Katharine. Cette révolte pourrait être plus liée à la mystérieuse Reine Bleue qu'on ne l'aurait pensé.

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay. Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home. Yet she spares Cas's life.
