Par Karina Halle. 2012
What happens when you no longer feel like yourself anymore? When fires spontaneously start-up around you, when you hear growling…
coming from underneath your bed, and you no longer recognise your face in the mirror. What happens then? Ghost hunter Perry Palomino doesn't have much time to find out. Now, the evil she used to hunt is a lot closer to home. It's inside of her, taking over her life bit-by-terrifying bit, and there's only one person who can help her. If part of her doesn't kill him first.The Last Dragon's Voyage (e-short story): A dramatic novella of danger at sea

Brandon Sanderson es el gran renovador de la fantasía del siglo XXI, con diecinueve millones de lectores en todo el mundo. La saga Nacidos de la Bruma (Mistborn) es una obra imprescindible del Cosmere, el universo destinado a dar forma a la serie más extensa y fascinante jamás escrita en el ámbito de la fantasía épica. Durante mil años han caído cenizas del cielo. Durante mil años nada ha florecido. Durante mil años los skaa han sido esclavizados y viven en la miseria, sumidos en un miedo inevitable. Durante mil años el Lord Legislador ha reinado con poder absoluto, dominando gracias al terror, a sus poderes y a su inmortalidad, ayudado por «obligadores» e «inquisidores», junto a la poderosa magia de la alomancia. Pero los nobles a menudo han tenido trato sexual con jóvenes skaa y, aunque la ley lo prohíbe, algunos de sus bastardos han sobrevivido y heredado los poderes alománticos: son los «Nacidos de la Bruma» (Mistborn). Ahora, Kelsier, el «superviviente», el único que ha logrado huir de los Pozos de Hathsin, ha encontrado a Vin, una pobre chica skaa con mucha suerte... Tal vez los dos, con el mejor equipo criminal jamás reunido, unidos a la rebelión que los skaa intentan desde hace mil años, logren cambiar el mundo y acabar con la atroz mano de hierro del Lord Legislador.El despertar (El legado del dragón #Volumen 1)

No dia do funeral do avô, Arabela Rosialt afoga-se e, quando acorda, reencontra-o. A sua vida sofre uma reviravolta avassaladora ao descobrir que está em Aquorea: uma exótica e milenar comunidade que prosperou milhares de metros abaixo do nível do mar. Kai, um rapaz de inescrutáveis olhos azuis, com um comportamento enlouquecedor, umas vezes frio e sisudo, outras vezes arrebatador, atrai-a e repele-a em simultâneo. Deixando-a louca de raiva... e de desejo. Apesar das saudades infindáveis da sua família, Ara sente-se irresistivelmente atraída pelas novas amizades, a vida agitada e a existência daquela comunidade excêntrica, mas extremamente calorosa. Tudo parece perfeito, até que alguns habitantes de Aquorea começam a morrer. Quando ela percebe que, afinal, o seu mergulho não foi coincidência e que dela depende a salvação ou condenação daquele mundo, terá de enfrentar a decisão mais difícil da sua vida. Colocando as suas diferenças de lado, ambos tentarão perceber quem está por detrás dos assassinatos e daquela misteriosa conspiração.Bairro sem saída
Par Fernando Ribeiro. 2021
No seu primeiro romance, Fernando Ribeiro pegou no realismo mágico e transformou-o em matéria suburbana, pintada em tons de profundo…
negro. A acção situa-se no Bairro mais clandestino da Europa durante os anos 70 e 80: a Brandoa e é narrada por "Rogério Paulo", nascido durante o terramoto de 28 de Fevereiro de 1969. O narrador cresce marcado pela morte do seu primo Fernando dois dias antes de nascer, acompanhado pelas personagens fantásticas do "Bairro sem Saída": o seu amigo e Mário, diabético que vai "desaparecendo"; a cigana Zíngara e suas maldições; o monstruoso ser de duas cabeças que lhe ensombra a infância; a Noiva de Branco, que se atira da janela do quarto andar. Um livro com os batimentos rápidos do heavy metal e a melancolia escura do gótico, sem esquecer uma boa dose de humor, apresentando a eterna guerra entre ricos e pobres. Este é o primeiro romance de Fernando Ribeiro, que aqui apresenta a sua outra voz, tão forte e ousada como na sua banda, mas, agora, traduzida nas palavras de um livro que grita, emociona, entretém e encanta.Bring Him Back, Jack

Par A. F. Henley. 2019
From the remote, wild corners of Wolf, Wyoming, to the even wilder streets of Washington, DC, something strange is going…
on with the O'Connell family. Be it the new ex-lawyer in town or the folks that go bump in the night, it seems like everyone wants to know exactly what that thing is -- and how they can get their own piece of the beastly O'Connell bloodline. Dark forces hide in dark corners, and nothing attracts them more than dark secrets.Contains the stories:Wolf, WY: Still nursing wounds left by a cheating ex, Wolf, Wyoming seems like the perfect place for Randy to start over. When a misunderstanding brings Randy face to face with his hot new neighbor and his neighbor's son, he's not sure what to make of either of them. Things are not what they appear in Wolf, and the closer Randy gets, the stranger the O'Connell family seems.Wolf, en Garde: Sick of watching his father love the man Lyle wanted, he accepts an offer to leave Wolf, WY. Free to experience life on his own terms, Lyle comes across a seductive, fascinating stranger in Washington, DC. It doesn't take Lyle long to realize Arius is dangerous, though, and when Lyle runs across a secret in Arius' lair, he has no choice but to flee to the only safe place he knows -- home.Wolf, in League: After months of silence from the O'Connell family, and suspicious of what took place in DC, the Committee recruits one of their new residents, Dr. Matthew Dietrich, to infiltrate the family. Matthew is a loner and has no idea why they'd want him, especially with his skepticism over shifters. That all changes when he meets his new partner in the Committee's scheme, Dr. Gavin Strauss.Swarm and Steel
Par Michael R. Fletcher. 2017
Zerfall awakens in an alley, wounded and unable to remember her past. Chased by an assassin out into the endless…
wastes of the desert, she is caught, disfigured, and left for dead. Her scabbard is empty, but the need for answers-and the pull of her sword-will draw her back to the city-states.When Jateko, a naïve youth, accidentally kills a member of his own tribe, he finds himself outcast and pursued across the desert for his crimes. Crazed from dehydration, dying of thirst and hunger, he stumbles across Zerfall.Hunted by assassins and bound by mutual need, both Zerfall and Jateko will confront the Täuschung, an ancient and deranged religion ruled by a broken fragment of Zerfall's mind. Swarm, the Täuschung hell, seethes with imprisoned souls, but where gods-real or imagined-meddle in the affairs of man, the cost is high.In Swarm and Steel, the power of belief can manifest and shape reality, and for political and religious leaders, faith becomes a powerful tool. But the insane are capable of twisting reality with their delusions as well, turning increasingly dangerous as their sanity crumbles. It is here that a long prophesied evil will be born, an endless hunger. The All Consuming will rise.American Gods: The Moment of the Storm
