      Margo sitzt im Zug auf dem Weg zu ihrem Internat, als sie plötzlich in eine andere Welt gerät: vom irischen Hochsommer in die Kälte eines fremden Winters, von ihrem 24-Stunden-Tag in einen, der nur sechs Stunden dauert. Moon, ein junger Handelsreisender, nimmt sich ihrer an und zeigt ihr New Davia, das von Zeitzonen und Reiseverboten geprägt ist. Je nachdem, in welcher Zone man lebt, hat man längere oder kürzere Tage, ein längeres oder kürzeres Leben. Alle Macht wird durch Zeit bestimmt. Und davon haben weder Moon noch Margo auch nur eine Sekunde zu viel. Denn die brutale Southern Gard hat Margos Spur aufgenommen ... Margo muss zurück in ihre Welt, doch was, wenn sie ausgerechnet hier und ausgerechnet in Moon den einzigen Menschen gefunden hat, mit dem sie die Ewigkeit verbringen will? Eine außergewöhnliche, fantastische Liebesgeschichte von der irischen Bestsellerautorin Carolin O’Donoghue.

      "With the return of the Housekeeper on the cards, Maeve must find out everything she can about the vengeful tarot spirit in order to finally defeat her. Crossing over into a parallel dimension inside the old school building, she explores the history of the Housekeeper - and spends too long in a world and a mind not her own. With the Children of Brigid closing in once more, and Maeve's friend group now fractured across Ireland, can they hope to ultimately save the town - and Maeve - from the grip of a power greater than they ever imagined?"--Publisher's description.

      Maeve and her friends have spent the summer practising their gifts: Maeve can read minds, Roe can pick locks, Fiona can heal and Lily channels electricity. What's more, Roe and Maeve are officially an item. But with strange things happening at school and old enemies appearing in new places, it's clear their powers are attracting the wrong attention. And it's not long before Maeve's gift starts to wane, drained by someone, or something, hiding even from her second sight.

      'So brilliant . . . It couldn't really be more timely . . . I highly recommend it' Dolly Alderton 'I loved it. The writing is whipsmart and so witty' Marian Keyes AN Post Irish Book Awards Shortlisted - Sunday Independent Newcomer of the Year Jane Peters is an adrift twenty-something by day, and a world-weary agony aunt by night. But when an office party goes too far, Jane dissolves into the high-stakes world of being the Other Woman: a role she has the right advice for, but not the smarts to follow through on. What starts out as a drunken mistake quickly unravels as Jane discovers that sex and power go hand-in-hand, and that it's hard to keep your head when you've become someone else's dirty little secret. And soon, her friendships, her sanity and even her life are put into jeopardy... 'Sharp, pithy and engaging' Irish Times 'Brilliant' Elle 'Deeply relatable and darkly comic . . . It'll have you nodding with familiarity, thinking, laughing - and crying - as you race towards the end' Grazia 'A future classic' Jane Casey
