Brad Pitt's Plan B Entertainment and Warner Bros are set to bring YA sci-fi novel Illuminae to the big screen. The year is 2575, and two megacorporations are at war over a planet that's little more than an ice-covered speck. Too bad nobody thought to warn the people living on it. With enemy fire raining down on them, Ezra and Kady have to make their escape on the evacuating fleet. But their troubles are just beginning.

And the cadre of illegit GIA Agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother and has a Syldrathi army at her back.

Das spektakuläre Finale von Jay Kristoffs epischer Fantasy-Bestsellertrilogie um Das Reich der Vampire. Gabriel de León hat seine Familie, seinen Glauben und seine letzte Hoffnung auf ein Ende der endlosen Nacht verloren – den Heiligen Gral, Dior. Einzig der Gedanke an Rache hält ihn aufrecht. Also begibt er sich mit einer Gruppe treuer Freunde in das vom Krieg zerrüttete Herz des Reiches, um den Ewigen König zu töten. Doch Gabriel irrt. Dior hat seinen eigenen Tod überlebt – und eilt in der schwachen Hoffnung, den Tagestod für immer zu beenden, ebenfalls auf die belagerte Hauptstadt zu.

Nachdem Gabriel de León den Orden der Silberwächter verlassen hat, begibt er sich zusammen mit seiner mysteriösen Verbündeten Liathe auf die Suche nach dem Ursprung der Vampirherrschaft: Er soll den Gral zu einem Weisen des uralten Volks der Esani bringen, um zu erfahren, wann der Fluch begann – und wie er sich beenden lässt. Doch verfolgt von den Kindern des Ewigen Königs und der Heiligen Inquisition, ist kein Schritt gefahrlos, denn Verrat lauert hinter jeder Ecke.

Shattered by the discovery that she is not at all who or what she believed, Eve joins forces with her new ‘siblings’. Meanwhile, Lemon finds a sense of belonging—perhaps even love—in an enclave of other genetic deviates. But with friends and enemies, heroes and villains, wearing interchangeable faces, nothing is as it seems. Soon, Eve and Lemon are racing against each other to find a missing girl whose DNA may hold the key to saving or destroying their broken world.

For Eve and Lemon, discovering the truth about themselves—and each other—was too much for their friendship to take. But with the country on the brink of a new world war—this time between the BioMaas swarm at CityHive and Daedalus’s army at Megopolis, loyalties will be pushed to the brink, unlikely alliances will form and with them, betrayals. But the threat doesn’t stop there, because the lifelikes are determined to access the program that will set every robot free, a task requiring both Eve and Ana, the girl she was created to replace.
