Once Upon a Curse
E.D. Baker
Many years ago a slighted fairy placed a curse on a beautiful young princess--a curse that caused her and all her female descendants to turn into mean, ugly witches if they ever touched a flower after turning sixteen. Now, Princess Emma, who is about to turn sixteen herself, is determined to break the spell once and for all. Emma travels back in time to the day the curse was placed on her ancestor in the hope of preventing the curse from being cast. Unfortunately she isn't successful in her efforts, but she does learn how to break it. Armed with this knowledge, Emma returns to her own time full of hope. But disaster ensues and Emma is about to give up completely--until true love shows itself in the most unexpected place of all. With a bit of courage, a pinch of luck, and of course, a healthy dose of magic, Princess Emma charms her way through the third hilarious adventure in this series.

Das Königsprojekt
Carl Amery [i.e. C. Mayer
Seit Jahrhunderten verfolgt eine geheime Abteilung des Vatikans — so geheim, daß nicht einmal der Papst offiziell! von ihr Kenntnis nimmt — ihren „Großen Plan“: die Beseitigung der Glaubensspaltung. Mit Hilfe der MYST, einer nach Plänen von Leonardo da Vinci konstruierten Zeitmaschine, werden tapfere Schweizergardisten in die Vergangenheit geschickt, um die Geschichte „nachträglich“ im Sinne des hl. Stuhls zu verändern. Der Gardist Füßli ist mit einer besonders heiklen Aufgabe betraut — dem „Königsprojekt“.
