Llega el romantasy más esperado. El enemies to lovers que ha conquistado a las lectoras de todo el mundo y que ha causado furor en TikTok. ***PRIMERA EDICIÓN LIMITADA CON CANTOS PINTADOS HASTA AGOTAR EXISTENCIAS*** No toques la espada. No gires la llave. No abras la puerta. A la joven Saeris Fane se le da bien guardar secretos. Nadie está al tanto de los poderes que posee ni de que lleva toda la vida robando para sobrevivir y escamoteando de los depósitos de la Reina Imperecedera. En una tierra de desiertos implacables hay pocas cosas que una chica no esté dispuesta a hacer a cambio de un vaso de agua. Sin embargo, todo secreto es como un nudo: tarde o temprano está destinado a desatarse. Cuando Saeris se enfrenta cara a cara con la Muerte encarnada, acaba abriendo sin querer un portal entre reinos que la transporta a una tierra de hielo y nieve. Los faes siempre han pertenecido al territorio de las leyendas, de los mitos, de las pesadillas... pero resulta que son reales. Y Saeris ha aterrizado en medio de un conflicto que lleva en marcha desde hace siglos. Un conflicto que podría costarle la vida. Saeris, la primera de su especie en poner un pie en las montañas heladas de Yvelia desde hace más de mil años, acaba sellando por error un pacto con Kingfisher, un atractivo guerrero fae que tiene sus propios secretos y perversos planes. Kingfisher está dispuesto a usar la magia alquímica de Saeris para proteger a su pueblo, sin importar el precio que haya que pagar... o quién tenga que pagarlo. La Muerte encarnada tiene un nombre: Kingfisher de Puerta Ajun. Es un guerrero con un pasado turbio y un temperamento repugnante. Pero también es el único modo que tiene Saeris de volver a casa. Cuidado con los pactos que haces, querida niña. El diablo está en los detalles...

by Briar Boleyn · MIRA

Welcome to Bloodwing Academy. Expect magic. Expect competition. Expect blood. I didn't sign up for this. A half-fae in a school of highblood vampires? That's a recipe for suffering. I'm Medra Pendragon, last of the dragon riders--or so they tell me. Funny thing is, there are no dragons left. Not a single one. But somehow, that hasn't stopped the vampires from deciding I'm worth capturing. Now I'm stuck at Bloodwing Academy, where the highbloods run everything, and blightborn like me? We're just blood in their veins, pawns in their games. But that's not even the worst part. Enter Blake Drakharrow: cold, arrogant, and way too gorgeous for his own good. He's been tormenting me since the moment we met, and now, thanks to some ancient ritual, we're betrothed. He acts like he owns me, but I'm not going down without a fight. Bloodwing isn't just a school--it's a battlefield. Highbloods fight for power, and if you're weak, you're dead. Between deadly competitions, lies that could get me executed, and a dragon-shaped secret looming over my head, all I have to do is survive. Easy, right? Except I'm starting to think the real danger isn't the academy--it's what I'm becoming in this twisted game of power. And Blake? He might just be the one who pushes me over the edge. They think they can control me. They think they can use me. But they have no idea what they've awakened.

Desafía la oscuridad Tras casi dieciocho meses en el Colegio de Guerra Basgiath, Violet Sorrengail tiene claro que no queda tiempo para entrenar. Hay que tomar decisiones. La batalla ha comenzado y, con enemigos acercándose a las murallas e infiltrados en sus propias filas, es imposible saber en quién confiar. Ahora Violet deberá emprender un viaje fuera de los límites de Aretia en busca de aliados de tierras desconocidas que acepten pelear por Navarre. La misión pondrá a prueba su suerte, y la obligará a usar todo su ingenio y fortaleza para salvar a quienes más ama: sus dragones, su familia, su hogar y a él. Aunque eso signifique tener que guardar un secreto tan peligroso que podría destruirlo todo. Navarre necesita un ejército. Necesita poder. Necesita magia. Y necesitará algo que solo Violet puede encontrar: la verdad. Pero una tormenta se aproxima... y no todos sobrevivirán a su furia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Brave The Dark After nearly eighteen months at Basgiath War College, Violet Sorrengail knows there's no more time for lessons. No more time for uncertainty.

Now Violet must journey beyond the failing Aretian wards to seek allies from unfamiliar lands to stand with Navarre. The trip will test every bit of her wit, luck, and strength, but she will do anything to save what she loves--her dragons, her family, her home, and him. Even if it means keeping a secret so big, it could destroy everything. They need an army. They need power. They need magic. And they need the one thing only Violet can find--the truth. But a storm is coming...and not everyone can survive its wrath.

THE WEDDING PEOPLE

by Alison Espach · Holt

The runaway New York Times bestselling Today Show Read With Jenna Book Club Pick, with more than 1.5 million copies sold, about an unexpected wedding guest and the surprising people who help her start anew. Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian, Time, Chicago Tribune, Elle, Real Simple, and Glamour It’s a beautiful day in Newport, Rhode Island, when Phoebe Stone arrives at the grand Cornwall Inn wearing a green dress and gold heels, not a bag in sight, alone. She’s immediately mistaken by everyone in the lobby for one of the wedding people, but she’s actually the only guest at the Cornwall who isn’t here for the big event. Phoebe is here because she’s dreamed of coming for years—she hoped to shuck oysters and take sunset sails with her husband, only now she’s here without him, at rock bottom, and determined to have one last decadent splurge on herself. Meanwhile, the bride has accounted for every detail and every possible disaster the weekend might yield except for, well, Phoebe and Phoebe's plan—which makes it that much more surprising when the two women can’t stop confiding in each other. In turns absurdly funny and devastatingly tender, Alison Espach’s The Wedding People is ultimately an incredibly nuanced and resonant look at the winding paths we can take to places we never imagined—and the chance encounters it sometimes takes to reroute us.
