Franny Stone has always been the kind of woman who is able to love but unable to stay. Leaving behind everything but her research gear, she arrives in Greenland with a singular purpose: to follow the last Arctic terns in the world on what might be their final migration to Antarctica. Franny talks her way onto a fishing boat, and she and the crew set sail, traveling ever further from shore and safety. But as Franny’s history begins to unspool—a passionate love affair, an absent family, a devastating crime—it becomes clear that she is chasing more than just the birds. When Franny's dark secrets catch up with her, how much is she willing to risk for one more chance at redemption?
Epic and intimate, heartbreaking and galvanizing, Charlotte McConaghy's Migrations is an ode to a disappearing world and a breathtaking page-turner about the possibility of hope against all odds.

From the author of the beloved national bestseller Migrations, a pulse-pounding new novel set in the wild Scottish Highlands.
Inti Flynn arrives in Scotland with her twin sister, Aggie, to lead a team of biologists tasked with reintroducing fourteen gray wolves into the remote Highlands. She hopes to heal not only the dying landscape, but Aggie, too, unmade by the terrible secrets that drove the sisters out of Alaska.
Inti is not the woman she once was, either, changed by the harm she’s witnessed—inflicted by humans on both the wild and each other. Yet as the wolves surprise everyone by thriving, Inti begins to let her guard down, even opening herself up to the possibility of love. But when a farmer is found dead, Inti knows where the town will lay blame. Unable to accept her wolves could be responsible, Inti makes a reckless decision to protect them. But if the wolves didn’t make the kill, then who did? And what will Inti do when the man she is falling for seems to be the prime suspect?
Propulsive and spell-binding, Charlotte McConaghy's Once There Were Wolves is the unforgettable story of a woman desperate to save the creatures she loves—if she isn’t consumed by a wild that was once her refuge.
'Beautifully written and grippingly told.' Sophie Masson
The people of Kaya die in pairs. When one lover dies, the other does too. So it has been for thousands of years – until Ava.
For although her bondmate, Avery, has been murdered and Ava’s soul has been torn in two, she is the only one who has ever been strong enough to cling to life. Vowing revenge upon the barbarian queen of Pirenti, Ava’s plan is interrupted when she is captured by the deadly prince of her enemies.
Prince Ambrose has been brought up to kill and hate. But when he takes charge of a strangely captivating Kayan prisoner and is forced to survive with her on a dangerous island, he must reconsider all he holds true . . .
In a violent country like Pirenti, where emotion is scorned as a weakness, can he find the strength to fight for the person he loves . . . even when she’s his vengeful enemy?
En suivant les marées et les oiseaux qui planent au-dessus d’elle, elle tente de surmonter les pertes qui ont hanté sa vie.
Mais lorsque la nature sauvage qu’elle aime tant menace de disparaître, Franny ne peut plus errer sans destination. Elle arrive au Groenland avec un objectif : trouver la dernière volée de Sternes arctiques et la suivre dans sa migration.
Elle convainc le capitaine Ennis Malone de la prendre à bord du Saghani, gagnant la confiance de son équipage excentrique en lui promettant que les oiseaux qu’elle suit les mèneront à des poissons, devenus trop rares.
Mais cette femme au bord de l’effondrement, consumée par un monde aussi brisé qu’elle, n’est pas celle qu’elle prétend être.
Propulsé par une narratrice aussi féroce et fragile que les Sternes qu’elle suit, Migrations est à la fois une ode à notre monde menacé et un page-turner à couper le souffle qui raconte les chagrins et la culpabilité des hommes.

»Ein grandioses Buch« Olli Schulz

Als die Vögel beginnen zu verschwinden, beschließt die junge Ornithologin den letzten Küstenseeschwalben zu folgen. Inmitten der exzentrischen Crew eines der letzten Fischerboote macht sie sich auf den Weg in die Antarktis. Schutzlos ist die junge Frau den rauen Naturgewalten des Atlantiks ausgeliefert, allein die Vögel sind ihr Kompass.

Und schon bald entwickelt sich die Reise zu einem lebensbedrohlichen Abenteuer.
Charlotte McConaghys »Zugvögel«, in deutscher Übersetzung von Tanja Handels, ist eine Ode an die wilden Geschöpfe dieser Erde und eine bewegende Geschichte über die Wege, die wir für die Menschen gehen, die wir lieben.
»Eines der schönsten und herzzerreißendsten Bücher, die ich je gelesen habe!« Emily St. John Mandel, Bestsellerautorin von Das Licht der letzten Tage
Here in the west they know a lot about hope. They know how to ration it just as they do with food and water.
Josephine is at last free of the blood moon. But in a desperate rush to find help for a comatose Luke, she discovers the strange and dangerous world of the resistance, and it is unlike any world Josi has known.
In the west they believe in fury – they cultivate and encourage it. The unruly people of the resistance know that to survive means to fight. But can they fight the inevitable cure for sadness that rushes steadily closer?
In the action-packed sequel to Fury, everything Josi believes about herself will be challenged. Haunted by atrocities and betrayals, she must find the strength to trust again, and decide how far she is willing to go to fight the inevitable.
At times both brutal and sweet, Melancholy is the story of second chances and finding love in a ruined world.

Eine wilde und packende Geschichte über den Kampf einer Frau, um jeden Preis Wölfe in den schottischen Highlands wiederanzusiedeln.
Inti Flynn kommt nach Schottland, um Wölfe in den Highlands wiederanzusiedeln. Als Wissenschaftlerin weiß sie, dass die wilden Tiere die einzige Rettung für die zerstörte Landschaft sind. Als Frau hofft sie auf einen Neuanfang. Sie ist nicht mehr die, die sie einst war, hat sich von den Menschen zurückgezogen. Denn die Wolfsbiologin besitzt die seltene Fähigkeit, Gefühle von anderen Lebewesen körperlich nachzuempfinden. Als ein Farmer tot aufgefunden wird und eine Hetzjagd auf ihre Tiere beginnt, muss sie sich ihren Ängsten stellen: Ist der Wolf oder der Mensch die Bestie in den Wäldern? Und wird sie je wieder menschliche Nähe zulassen können – oder von der Wildnis verschlungen werden, die sie retten will?

‘The Chronicles of Kaya sweeps the reader into an unforgettable world’ Sophie Masson
The kingdom of Kaya has been overthrown by a dark power. Trapped inside the dangerous capital, rebel leader Isadora fights the only way she can – by hunting those more monstrous than she.
Falco is the exiled emperor of a nation in tatters. But fate demands he abandon the mask that has long disguised his true nature, and rise to meet his sworn enemy, the deadly Sparrow.
No one is safe from the evil sweeping the lands, not even those in the far north strongholds of Pirenti. Crown Prince Thorne is plagued by ghosts, Lady Roselyn by the past. With his land and loved ones under threat, King Ambrose must find the strength to show his people a new way of life, or allow the nation’s legacy of violence to consume them.
As world’s end draws near the undeniable power of the bond ties Isadora and Falco together. The death of one means the death of both. But Isadora has never before surrendered to fate. She is determined to break free and choose her own path, no matter the cost.
The heart-wrenching final chapter in the Chronicles of Kaya trilogy.
