anticipated sequel to the bestselling novel Moon of the Crusted Snow.In the years since a mysterious cataclysm caused a permanent blackout that toppled infrastructure and thrust the world into anarchy, Evan Whitesky has led his community in remote northern Canada off the rez and into the bush, where they’ve been rekindling their Anishinaabe traditions, isolated from the outside world. As new generations are born, and others come of age in a world after everything, Evan’s people are stronger than ever. But resources around their new settlement are drying up, and elders warn that they cannot stay indefinitely. Evan and his teenaged daughter, Nangohns, are chosen to lead a scouting party on a months-long trip down to their traditional home on the shores of Lake Huron—to seek new beginnings, and discover what kind of life—and what danger—still exists in the lands to the south.Waubgeshig Rice’s exhilarating return to the world first explored in Moon of the Crusted Snow is a brooding story of survival, resilience, Indigenous identity, and rebirth.Blast Off!

"'Malice' is self-explanatory, I trust," writes the acclaimed Elizabeth Peters in her introduction to this outstanding collection. "'Domestic' distinguishes the personal and private aspects of crime from the public and impersonal. Our murderers don't kill for the fun of it (serial killers) or for a misguided ideal (assassins and terrorists) or for pay (hired hit men). They only do in people they know and love (or hate)." Gathered in homage to the most beloved crimewriter of all, Dame Agatha Christie, MALICE DOMESTIC 1 presents today's best mystery writers at the top of their form.Una estrella de bandera

ÉPOCA MÁS MÁGICA DEL AÑO. Para sacar a Lovelight Farms de la ruina, Stella Bloom tendrá que aliarse con su mejor amigo, Luke Peters, y fingir que tienen una relación para ganar un premio que salve su negocio. Hay muchos motivos por los que Lovelight Farms ya no es el paraíso invernal con el que Stella Bloom soñaba: los abetos marchitos, el establo de Papá Noel conquistado por mapaches, mercancías extraviadas, una deuda tremenda... Para intentar salvarlo, Stella se presenta a un concurso. Pero hay un problema: intentando pintar Lovelight como un destino para vacaciones en pareja, Stella dijo que lo llevaba con su novio. Y no tiene. A quien sí tiene es a Luke Peters, su mejor amigo, que de repente se ve con un negocio a su nombre y, de paso, con una relación falsa. No obstante, fingir que está enamorado de Stella le resulta fácil, y puede que el destino le haya hecho el mejor regalo de Navidad posible...
