Resultados para "The Gambler" en Fantasía y magia

Axel Nal is out of luck and out of time. He has failed every single induction ceremony and it is his last chance to Exceed to a higher class. At his wit's end, he desperately tries one last time at Exceeding, putting all his chips on the table...except something was different this time. Time freezing, a mysterious voice, and a new Exceed Mark? Had lady luck finally given him a boon? Had he received a class the world had never seen before? One thing is for sure, he's changed. And now he has something called...the Gambler's System.  

When Edith Wight's parents fail to collect her from boarding school for the summer holidays, she's packed off to live with eccentric Uncle Francis - a vet who runs a practice in a remote part of the New Forest. Francis is the last in a long line of vets who treat mythical creatures: among his patients are pegasi, unicorns, dragons and much more. And when he receives a summons from the Himalayas - where one of a remote family of yetis is suffering from a mysterious illness - Edith finds herself on the voyage of a lifetime.

Edith Wight can't wait to stay with her uncle - vet to magical animals and beasts - for the Christmas holidays. She's expecting to be reunited with all her friends, both animal and human, and celebrate the holidays together. But one of the few phoenixes left in the world is missing and in peril. The Secret Animal Society heads to a remote part of Bavaria to track down the bird, only to encounter a new foe more deadly and dangerous than they could have possibly imagined - who is using phoenix ashes to create new hybrid beasts to sell to the evil Syndicate.

Edith Wight kann es kaum erwarten, über die Weihnachtsfeiertage bei ihrem Onkel, dem Arzt für magische und mythische Tiere, zu sein. Sie freut sich darauf, all ihre tierischen und menschlichen Freunde wiederzusehen. Zum zweiten Mal steht ein Abenteuer bevor, denn einer der sechs verbliebenen Phönixe der Welt ist verschwunden und in größter Gefahr. In Begleitung von Arnold, ihrem treuen Hund, und Francis machen sich Edith und der Tierarzt auf den Weg nach Bayern, um den Phönix aufzuspüren.
