Paperback. Zustand: Good. AAnno Domini 1288: Als die junge Herzogin Irmgard von Limburg im Jahre 1283 kinderlos verstirbt, entsteht ein Streit uber die Erbfolge ihres Herzogtums. Von den zunachst neun Erbanspruchstellern verbleiben jedoch in den nachfolgenden Jahren nur zwei Kandidaten, deren Anspruch berechtigt sein konnte. Dies ist zum einen ihr Witwer, Graf Reinald I. von Geldern, dem die Erbfolge trotz des entgegenstehenden Erbrechts durch Konig Rudolf I. zugesichert wurde und zum anderen ihr Cousin, Graf Adolf V. von Berg, dem als einziger mannlicher Verwandter ein Erbanspruch in Anlehnung am bestehenden Erbrecht tatsachlich zusteht. Doch die Kriege, die in der Folgezeit zwischen ihnen und ihren jeweiligen Verbundeten entstehen, konnen das Problem nicht losen und beide mussen erkennen, dass sie auf Grund der raumlichen Distanz ihrer Grafschaften zum umstrittenen Herzogtum nicht in der Lage sind, ihre Besitzrechte dauerhaft durchzusetzen. Erschwerend kommt fur Adolf von Berg noch hinzu, dass seine hubsche Gemahlin, die Grafin Elisabeth von Berg, mit der er eine auerst schwierige Ehe fuhrt, die Schwester von Graf Reinald von Geldern ist und in diesem Erbfolgestreit nicht zu ihm, sondern zu ihrem Bruder halt. In dieser Situation entschliet sich Adolf von Berg im Jahr 1288 seine kaum realisierbaren Erbanspruche an den kampfstarken Herzog Johann I. von Brabant abzutreten. Als Elisabeth davon erfahrt, kommt sie ihrem Bruder zu Hilfe und schlagt ihm ein Bundnis mit dem machtigen Kolner Erzbischof Siegfried von Westerburg vor, in dessen Folge die Situation vollig entgleitet und eskaliert .…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - It's 1825, and Henry Rockcliff has been living in self-imposed exile in France for nearly a decade. But when his former army commander asks him to investigate a series of mysterious shipwrecks in his native England, and introduce a revolutionary lighthouse lens to his countrymen, he can't refuse. He couldn't save his sailor brother from a watery grave on that same stretch of coastline, but perhaps he can redeem himself by saving others.Emelia Seaton has lived a quiet life in the seaside hamlet of Collington, England. She's anything but a conventional young lady; studying physics and mathematics for fun, befriending both fishermen and nobility, and spending hours practicing her archery skills in every condition. But in this quiet village, no one seems to mind her neurodivergent quirks. Her carefully-constructed world is thrown into chaos, however, when two handsome men arrive in town. Edwin, her childhood best friend, has come home, and is making her blush in ways he never did when they were children. And Henry, the mysterious stranger, wants to install a Fresnel lens in the town lighthouse. It's unlike anything her physics-loving heart has ever seen; and Henry, with his uncanny sixth sense and unruffled demeanor, is unlike anyone she's ever known. Emelia will finally find the adventure she's been craving, along with more danger than she ever thought possible.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Scapegrace. Rogue. Reprobate. Cad. Winifred Osbourne has spent the last ten years avoiding Benjamin Hadleigh, scum of the earth, at all costs. Yet by some strange twist of fate, she finds herself snowed in with him - and a murderer - for Christmas.It's 1890, and twenty-seven year old British spinster Winifred Osbourne has built a successful career and life as an artist in Paris. Reeling from the loss of her beloved grandfather, the man who raised her and showed her the world, she returns to England for her first Christmas in ten years. Her dreams of a cozy house party with just a few close friends are shattered, however, by the appearance of Lord Benjamin Hadleigh: her former neighbor, disastrous first love, and - most shockingly - ex-husband.Their quickly-annulled marriage has been kept a secret for nearly a decade, and Winnie has managed to avoid him for just as long. Hadleigh is at the house party in his role as a government operative, on the hunt for a man suspected of blackmailing a member of the royal family. Winifred vows to ignore Hadleigh until she can flee back to Paris - until a guest at the house party is killed and only Winnie knows what poisoned him. Someone they're snowed in with is a murderer, and Winnie is forced to work together with Hadleigh to find the killer before they strike again. It's a race against time to find evidence of murder and blackmail, and every guest at the party seems to have secrets of their own - secrets that someone is willing to kill again to protect.…
