1. Die zweitgrösste Liebe
Is love enough in times of doubt? Michelle is in her early thirties when her life in the eastern part of the country falls apart. She leaves everything behind and starts anew: as a receptionist in a hotel, she encounters luxury, West German wealth, and Henry. He had very different opportunities than she did, and he has never lacked for anything. They fall in love, despite all their differences. For the first time, it seems possible for Michelle to lead a carefree life. But it wouldn't be a book by Ruth-Maria Thomas if all the beautiful certainties didn't eventually come crashing down. With great narrative pull and enchanting ease, the novel tells a story of aspirations for upward mobility, fears of decline, and the question of what freedom and carefreeness truly cost.

2. Fourth Wing – Flammengeküsst
A dragon without its rider is tragic. A rider without their dragon is dead.
The spectacular fantasy success "Fourth Wing" is presented in a lavish deluxe edition featuring stunning colored edges, a highly refined dust jacket, a designed and printed cover, as well as colored maps in the front and back matter and a ribbon bookmark.
Violet's dream of becoming a scholar at the prestigious Basgiath War College is abruptly shattered when she must participate in the selection process for dragon riders as the daughter of the general. In the first year, not even half of all applicants will survive, for dragons do not bond with weak individuals; they incinerate them. Most cadets want to take Violet down simply because of her lineage—especially Xaden, the most powerful and ruthless of the squadron leaders. And undoubtedly the most attractive. It is precisely him that Violet is assigned to. She will have to leverage every advantage if she wants to survive. Because at Basgiath War College, everyone has an agenda, and there are only two ways out: graduate or die.
