The Gilded Ones
Summary
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER! “Namina Forna Could Be The Toni Morrison Of YA Fantasy.” (Refinery 29) “Fans of Children of Blood and Bone, Mulan, and the Dora Milaje from Black Panther are going to adore this one.” (BuzzFeed) "A dark feminist tale spun with blood and gold. Must read!" (Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles) The most anticipated fantasy of 2021. In this world, girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice. Get ready for battle. Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity - and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death. Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the village and submit to her fate, or leave to fight for the emperor in an army of girls just like her. They are called alaki - near-immortals with rare gifts. And they are the only ones who can stop the empire's greatest threat. Knowing the dangers that lie ahead yet yearning for acceptance, Deka decides to leave the only life she's ever known. But as she journeys to the capital to train for the biggest battle of her life, she will discover that the great walled city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be - not even Deka herself. The start of a bold and immersive fantasy series for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther.

Golden wie Blut
Summary
Nichts kann sie töten. Bitte lass mein Blut rot sein, bitte lass mein Blut rot sein, bete ich. Als goldenes Blut aus ihren Adern fließt, ist für Deka klar, dass sie nie dazugehören wird. Wegen ihrer dunklen Hautfarbe galt sie schon immer als Außenseiterin. Doch dann kennzeichnet ihr goldenes Blut sie als Alaki, als Dämon. Nur ein Dekret des Kaisers von Otera kann sie retten: Er stellt eine Armee aus den beinahe unsterblichen Alaki zusammen. Deka wird zur Kriegerin ausgebildet und lernt dabei nicht nur zu kämpfen, sondern auch die Gebote infrage zu stellen, durch die sie als Frau ihr Leben lang unterdrückt wurde. Der spannende Auftakt zu einer epischen Fantasy-Trilogie von Namina Forna. Die Göttinnen von Otera überzeugt sowohl durch die starken weiblichen Charaktere und das atmosphärische westafrikanische Setting als auch durch die gesellschaftspolitische Relevanz. >> Diese ungekürzte Hörbuch-Fassung genießt du exklusiv nur bei Audible.

Running for My Life
Summary
For listeners who enjoyed Alexandra Heminsley's Running Like a Girl and Bryony Gordon's Mad Girl, Running for My Life is a funny, heartfelt and inspirational story of one woman's marathon journey through mental illness. Suffering from depression but desperate for 'normality', Rachel Cullen found herself in failing relationships, the wrong career and a reliance on alcohol and chocolate to get her through each day. Stuck in an endless cycle of mental misery, she put on a pair of old trainers. She'd never been able to think of herself as a 'runner' before, and the first time she forced herself out the door, she knew it would hurt. Everywhere. She just didn't realise how much it would heal her, too.
