Хизер Фосетт – лучшие книги

Профессора Эмили Уайльд не интересует ни светская жизнь, ни даже собственная внешность, и возможно именно поэтому она — восходящее светило дриадологии, науки об эльфах и феях. Ее первая в мире «Эльфийская энциклопедия» должна окончательно укрепить ее репутацию в научном мире, осталось дописать лишь последнюю главу. И Эмили отправляется в арктическую страну Льӧсланд, чтобы исследовать Сокрытых, таинственный и совершенно неизученный вид фейри. Правда, местные жители встречают ее не слишком приветливо, а через несколько дней внезапно приезжает незваный партнер и конкурент Венделл Бэмблби. Подбираясь все ближе к кочующим царствам Сокрытых, Эмили пытается разгадать другую тайну: кто на самом деле Вэнделл Бэмблби и чего он хочет? Чтобы найти ответ, Эмили придется не только рискнуть своей жизнью, но и заглянуть в собственное сердце.

When mysterious faeries from other realms appear at her university, curmudgeonly professor Emily Wilde must uncover their secrets before it’s too late, in this heartwarming, enchanting second installment of the Emily Wilde series.

Двенадцатилетняя Эмбер Сент-Джордж — дракон. По крайней мере, она была драконом до того, как ее приемный отец — могущественный, но незадачливый маг Лайонел — не превратил ее в девочку, чтобы спасти ей жизнь.
К сожалению, растущая склонность Эмбер вспыхивать при определенных температурах — не говоря уже о ее невидимых крыльях — делает ее пребывание в Лондоне слишком опасным. И ей приходится отправиться в холодную Антарктиду, на исследовательскую станцию ее тети. Хотя к эксцентричной тете Майре нужно привыкнуть, Эмбер быстро осваивается в стране ледяных бурь, озорных пингвинов и бесконечных ночей. Она даже подружилась с девочкой-гением Нишей и таинственным сиротой Мохом.
Затем она обнаруживает, что в Антарктиде устраивается охота «Зимнее стекло», жертвами которой становятся редкие ледяные драконы, обладающие чешуей, подобной доспехам из алмазов. Возмущенная Эмбер решает присоединиться к охоте с намерением ее сорвать. Но быть драконом в девичьем облике нелегко — особенно среди охотников на драконов. Сможет ли Эмбер преодолеть опасности, подстерегающие ее в антарктической пустыне, и спасти ледяных драконов от вымирания?

Twelve-year-old Autumn Malog is a servant at the enchanting Inglenook School, where young magicians study to become the king's future monster-hunters. Along with her Gran and three too many older brothers, she works as a beastkeeper, tending to Inglenook's menagerie of terrifying monsters.

But when she isn't mucking out the wyvern stalls or coaxing the resident boggart to behave, Autumn searches for clues about her twin brother's mysterious disappearance. Everyone else thinks he was devoured by the feared Hollow Dragon, but Autumn is convinced she's heard--and glimpsed--him calling to her from within the castle walls. But who will believe a lowly servant?

So when Cai Morrigan, the "Chosen One" prophesied to one day destroy the Hollow Dragon, comes to her for help, Autumn agrees on one condition: Together, they'll search for her brother and uncover the dark truth at the heart of enchanting Inglenook School once and for all.

Kamzin has always dreamed of becoming one of the Emperor’s royal explorers, the elite climbers tasked with mapping the wintry, mountainous Empire and spying on its enemies. She knows she could be the best in the world, if only someone would give her a chance.

But everything changes when the mysterious and eccentric River Shara, the greatest explorer ever known, arrives in her village and demands to hire Kamzin—not her older sister Lusha, as everyone had expected—for his next expedition. This is Kamzin’s chance to prove herself—even though River’s mission to retrieve a rare talisman for the emperor means climbing Raksha, the tallest and deadliest mountain in the Aryas. Then Lusha sets off on her own mission to Raksha with a rival explorer who is determined to best River, and Kamzin must decide what’s most important to her: protecting her sister from the countless perils of the climb or beating her to the summit.

The challenges of climbing Raksha are unlike anything Kamzin expected—or prepared for—with avalanches, ice chasms, ghosts, and even worse at every turn. And as dark secrets are revealed, Kamzin must unravel the truth of their mission and of her companions—while surviving the deadliest climb she has ever faced.

A perfect summer read about whale watching and friendship both lost and found, from the author of Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries and The Islands of Elsewhere.

When Fern hears about a photo contest with a big cash award, she decides she’ll enter and win! After all, photography is her passion (and was an interest she shared with her dad, who has recently died). She knows she can take a prize-worthy photo of a whale during one of the whale-watching tours her mom runs.

But her neighbor (and nemesis), Jasper, is also planning to enter the contest. It’s another frustration for Fern while she’s already coping with the worry that her best friend, Ivy, might not want to spend time with her anymore. She’s hoping to use the prize money to buy something that will attract Ivy’s interest.

This summer story has the trials and pleasures of friendship, a rousing feud and a touch of adventure, a beautiful exploration of healing after grief, a very moving finale, and a whole lot of whale-watching fascination.

An inventive and fantastical reimagining of Anne of Green Gables—with magic and witches!—that explores found family, loss, and the power of a girl's imagination, from the acclaimed author of The Language of Ghosts and The School Between Winter and Fairyland.

Grace has never been good at anything except magic—not that anyone believes her. While other children are adopted from the orphanage, nobody wants Grace. So she decides to make a home for herself by running away and offering herself as an apprentice to the witch in the nearby woods. After all, who better to teach Grace to use her magic? Surely the witch can’t be that bad.

But the witch is that bad—she steals souls for spells and gobbles up hearts. So Grace offers a deal: If she can learn all 100½ spells in the witch’s grimoire, the witch will make Grace her apprentice. But if Grace fails, the witch can take her magic. The witch agrees, and soon an unexpected bond develops between them. But the spells are much harder than Grace expected, and when a monster from the witch’s past threatens the home Grace has built, she may have to sacrifice more than her magic to save it.

Inspired by Anne of Green Gables, this is a magical story of found family, loss, and the power of a girl’s imagination.

After the terrifying events on Mount Raksha, the witches have returned, and River has betrayed Kamzin to regain his dark powers. The witches’ next step: march on the Three Cities and take over the Empire—led by River’s brother, Esha. If Kamzin is to save Azmiri and prevent the fall of the Empire, she must find a star that fell in the Ash Mountains to the north. Fallen stars have immense power, and if Kamzin and Lusha can find the star, they can use its magic to protect the Empire. To get there, Kamzin has allied with Azar-at, the dangerous and deceptive fire demon, who can grant her great power—in exchange for pieces of her soul. But River wants the star too, and as their paths collide in dangerous and unexpected ways, Kamzin must wrestle with both her guilt and her conflicted feelings for the person who betrayed her. Facing dark magic, a perilous journey, and a standoff against the witches, can Kamzin, Lusha, and Tem find the star and save their Empire?
