Produktbeschreibung
Sensing weakness in their protectors, a daring Dark King makes his move against humans. Five magical warriors are tasked with quashing his plans. Failure will see the first uprising in 500 years. The Queen has vanished from the face of the earth, her rare magic along with her. But there is no time to grieve. Mitrik, the King of the North American Underworld, is taking advantage of the resulting magical power vacuum. He mobilises his followers and resurrects the fighting rings for humans. If he isn't stopped, what's to prevent him going from abductions to all out rebellion? The Asters are the elite magical guard of the Affinites, defenders of humans against the ever-present threat of the seven Dark Kings. They are tasked with quelling the uprising. Despite their loss of faith in themselves, and the tragedies of their last mission, the Asters are still expected to protect the humans on the Surface of the world. They must pull together to stand any chance against the very first King they have ever faced. A World To Lose is the second in a YA fantasy prequel trilogy featuring Nathan, Sophie, Lian, Matu, and Sky, and their unique magic, deep bonds of friendship, and ability to react creatively even under extreme duress. Dive into the action and discover if the Asters are right to trust in their combined skills, or if they'll pay with their lives.
Autorenporträt
Frances Ellen writes YA fantasy stories full of magic and adventure, action and jeopardy, sacrifice and betrayal, deep bonds of friendship, and a light touch of romance. Her first series describes a world where humans with exceptional affinities for specific traits, the Affinites, led by a magical elite known as the Asters, protect humans from the ever-present threat from Dark Kings. The Asters are a diverse group of teenagers, magically and culturally, whose adventures take them to all parts of the world, both above and below ground, filling a gap in the YA fantasy genre that Frances wanted to read but couldn't find. The idea for the Asters first came to Frances on holiday aged 15; building the legend, history, characters and events of the Astersphere, in her head and on notes, consumed her spare time ever since. In 2021, the Aster Prequel Novella trilogy to the main series was first published. Frances is currently working on the novels in the multi-book Asters Original Series, with the first expected to release in summer 2022.

Frances Ellen is a Dutch-English native. She graduated from the University of Amsterdam with a degree in English Literature and from London Middlesex University with a Master's in Novel Writing. Next to writing, Frances trains guide dogs for the blind. Her dream is to support herself with her writing so she has the time to foster and train more guide dogs on the side. She currently lives in Amsterdam with her flatmate.
