My Lady Jane

Die komische, fantastische, romantische, völlig wahre Geschichte von Lady Jane Grey! Okay ... nicht wirklich. EDWARD ist der König von England. Doch er liegt auch im Sterben, was ungünstig ist, da er erst sechzehn ist und viel lieber seinen ersten Kuss planen würde, als darüber nachzudenken, wer einmal seine Krone erben wird. JANE ist Edwards Cousine und viel mehr an Büchern als an Romantik interessiert. Zu Janes Unglück hat Edward ihre Hochzeit arrangiert, um die Thronfolge zu sichern. Allerdings ist an ihrem Verlobten etwas seltsam ... GIFFORD ist ein Pferd. Das heißt, er ist ein Eðian (eth-y-un, für die Uneingeweihten). Jeden Tag bei Tagesanbruch wird er zu einem edlen Hengst, doch dann - bei Einbruch der Dunkelheit - wacht er stets mit einem Mund voller Heu auf. Das ist alles sehr würdelos! ABER SO RICHTIG ZUR SACHE GEHT ES, als Edward, Jane und G in eine gefährliche Verschwörung hineingezogen werden. Da das Schicksal des Königreichs auf dem Spiel steht, müssen unsere Helden selbst ein paar Verschwörungen anzetteln. Aber können sie ihren Plan durchziehen, bevor sie noch ihren Kopf verlieren?

My Lady Jane è ora una serie su Prime Video! Edward è il re d'Inghilterra. Ed è anche sul punto di morire, condizione non del tutto adeguata a un sedicenne che preferirebbe assaporare il suo primo bacio e non pianificare la linea di successione alla corona. Jane, o meglio Lady Jane Grey, è la cugina di Edward, ma alla vita di corte e al solo pensiero di un possibile marito preferisce immergersi tra le pagine dei suoi amati libri. Purtroppo per lei, Edward ha pensato proprio a Jane per il matrimonio che garantirà alla corona di restare in famiglia. Guildford è lo sposo prescelto, ed è un E¿ian. La sorte ha benedetto gli E¿ian (o maledetto, a seconda del punto di vista) donando loro il potere di passare da una forma umana a una animale, e Guildford trascorre le ore dall'alba al tramonto come nobile destriero. Mentre l'attrazione e la tensione saranno sempre più difficili da governare per entrambi, anche il cuore del regno sarà messo a dura prova. Con Jane sul trono, gli imprevisti e le cospirazioni sono dietro l'angolo. Peccato che nessuno abbia davvero capito che Jane è molto più della classica damigella in pericolo...

It’s aliiiiiiiive! The New York Times bestselling authors of My Lady Jane present an electric, poetic, and (almost) historical tale of the one and only Mary Shelley—perfect for YA fantasy and romance readers.Mary may have inherited the brilliant mind of her late mother, Mary Wollstonecraft, but she lives a drab life above her father’s bookstore, waiting for an extraordinary idea that’ll inspire a work worthy of her parentage—and impress her rakishly handsome (and super-secret) beau, Percy Shelley.Ada Lovelace knows a thing or two about superstar parents, what with her dad being Lord Byron, the most famous poet on Earth. But her passions lie far beyond the arts—in mechanical engineering, to be exact. Alas, no matter how precise Ada’s calculations, there’s always a man willing to claim her ingenious ideas as his own.Pan, a.k.a. Practical Automaton Number One, is Ada's greatest idea yet: a machine that will change the world, if only she can figure out how to make him truly autonomous . . . or how to make him work at all.When fate connects our two masterminds, Mary and Ada learn that they are fae—magical people with the ability to make whatever they imagine become real. But when their dream team results in a living, breathing, thinking PAN, Mary and Ada find themselves hunted by a mad scientist who won't stop until he finds out how they made a real boy out of spare parts.With comic genius and a truly electrifying sense of adventure, Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows continue their campaign to turn the classics on their head in this YA fantasy that’s ideal for fans of Frankenstein and The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue.
