Mørk og romantisk Y/A-fantasy, der er umulig at lægge fra sig. Juvelen er stedet, hvor de rige og magtfulde bor. Juvelen er lig med skønhed, ufattelig rigdom og fornemme familier. Men for piger som Violet er Juvelen lig med et liv i trældom. Violet er født i Marsken, hvor de fattigste familier bor. Siden hun var en ung pige, er hun blevet trænet til en fremtid som rugemor for adlen. For der er kun én ting, der er vigtigere end rigdom i Juvelen – og det er afkom. Violet bliver solgt på auktion til Hertuginden af Søen og lærer hurtigt om de brutale sandheder, der ligger bag Juvelens glitrende facade: grusomheder, intriger og vold. Violet må forsøge at navigere i sin nye tilværelse uden at miste livet, men det bliver bestemt ikke nemmere, da Violet møder den smukke Ash, der er hyret til at være ledsager for hertugindens niece. Den forbudte kærlighed, der blusser op imellem de to, gør en kort stund livet bag Juvelens mure en anelse lettere at bære, men snart får det konsekvenser, som ingen af dem havde forudset … Juvelen er første bind i triliogien om Violet og Ash.

Zwei auf einer Insel, auf der es kein Entkommen vor der Liebe gibtDie New Yorker Fotografin Cordelia reist für einen Sommer auf eine irische Insel. Als sie bei ihrer Ankunft den pittoresken Hafen fotografiert, stößt ein Mann sie an, und die Kamera, ein Geschenk ihres Vaters, fällt und zerspringt. Der achtlose Kerl versteht Cordelias Unglück nicht. Wie sollte er auch: Niall, ein Koch, ist gerade mit gebrochenem Herzen auf seine Heimatinsel zurückgekehrt, ein kaputter Gegenstand erscheint ihm da als Lappalie. Zuerst. In der nächsten Zeit haben Cordelia und Niall mehr miteinander zu tun, als sie ahnen konnten – und sind dabei glücklicherweise umgeben von Menschen, die besser als sie selber wissen, wie man dem Leben und der Liebe wieder auf die Sprünge hilft…Amy Ewing ist in den USA als Autorin von Young-Adult-Reihen etabliert, die regelmäßig New York Times-Bestseller sind.
