Summer, 1812.
After the scandalous events at her presentation ball in London, Lady Helen has taken refuge at the fashionable seaside resort of Brighton, banished from her family and training as a Reclaimer with the covert Dark Days Club. She must learn to fight the dangerous energy-wielding Deceivers and prepare to face their master, the elusive Grand Deceiver.
As she struggles to put aside her genteel upbringing, Helen realizes that her mentor, Lord Carlston, is fighting his own inner battle. Has the foul Deceiver energy poisoned his soul, or is something else driving him towards violent bouts of madness? Either way, Helen is desperate to help the man with whom she shares a deep but forbidden connection.
When Mr. Pike, the hard bureaucratic heart of the Dark Days Club, arrives in Brighton, he has a secret mission for Helen: find the journal left by a mad rogue Reclaimer, before it falls into the hands of the Deceivers. Coerced by Pike, Helen has no choice but to do as ordered, knowing that the search for the journal may bring about Lord Carlston’s annihilation.

The spellbinding sequel to The Golden Compass, the modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time," continues the epic adventure, catapulting readers between worlds, and toward a devastating discovery.
Lost in a new world, Lyra finds Will—a boy on the run, a murderer—a worthy and welcome ally. For this is a world where soul-eating Specters stalk the streets and witches share the skies with troops of angels.
Each is searching—Lyra for the meaning of Dark Matter, Will for his missing father—but what they find instead is a deadly secret, a knife of untold power. And neither Lyra nor Will suspects how tightly their lives, their loves, their destinies are bound together...until they are split apart.
Kel will not allow this first test to be her last. Her adventure begins in the New York Times bestselling series from the fantasy author who is a legend herself: TAMORA PIERCE.
Keladry of Mindelan is the first girl who dares to take advantage of a new rule in Tortall—one that allows females to train for knighthood. After years in the Yamani Islands, she knows that women can be warriors, and now that she’s returned home, Kel is determined to achieve her goal. She believes she is ready for the traditional hazing and grueling schedule of a page. But standing in Kel’s way is Lord Wyldon. The training master is dead set against girls becoming knights. He says she must pass a one-year trial that no male page has ever had to endure. It’s just one more way to separate Kel from her fellow trainees. But she is not to be underestimated. She will fight to succeed, even when the test is unfair.

Having barely escaped the clutches of the Guard, Sefia and Archer are back on the run, slipping into the safety of the forest to tend to their wounds and plan their next move. Haunted by painful memories, Archer struggles to overcome the trauma of his past with the impressors, whose cruelty plagues him whenever he closes his eyes. But when Sefia and Archer happen upon a crew of impressors in the wilderness, Archer finally finds a way to combat his nightmares: by hunting impressors and freeing the boys they hold captive.
With Sefia’s help, Archer travels across the kingdom of Deliene rescuing boys while she continues to investigate the mysterious Book and the secrets it contains. But the more battles they fight, the more fights Archer craves, until his thirst for violence threatens to transform him from the gentle boy Sefia knows to a grim warrior with a cruel destiny. As Sefia begins to unravel the threads that connect Archer’s fate to her parents’ betrayal of the Guard so long ago, she and Archer must figure out a way to subvert the Guard’s plans before they are ensnared in a war that will pit kingdom against kingdom, leaving their future and the safety of the entire world hanging in the balance.
Llega el libro de Fernando Jaso, el influencer más auténtico de YouTube. Mis tatuajes son historias. Recuerdos que aparecen en mi piel cuando algo me marca de forma intensa. Cada tatuaje esconde una historia estrechamente ligada a mí, un momento que supuso un antes y un después en mi vida. ¿Te atreves a descubrirlos? «¿No ha acabado?», preguntó Fernando. Le parecía de lo más normal estar hablando con un tigre. «No. Nunca acabará. Volverán a intentarlo», respondió el felino. «Tratarán de cazarte, de meterte en una jaula. Y, si les dejas, lo conseguirán.» El tigre dio media vuelta y, caminando con elegancia, se internó en la jungla. «¿Pero cómo voy a impedirlo? Ellos son más, son más fuertes. Y yo, yo soy...» El tigre le miró. Desde donde estaba, apenas podía distinguirle de las sombras. Solo podía ver el brillo de sus ojos fieros y salvajes, dos luces vibrando como fuego en la oscuridad. «Son cobardes, por eso siempre van en manada. Así que, cuando vengan a buscarte, haz que lo sepan. Haz que sepan que eres un tigre.»
¿Qué pasaría si pudieras dar vida a tus creaciones literarias? Edyah Luna es una joven escritora que, el día de su cumpleaños número dieciocho, obtuvo la oportunidad de pedir cualquier deseo: eligió dar vida a los personajes masculinos que creó en sus novelas. «Deseo que mis hombres sean reales. Quiero que mis creaciones masculinas no sean solo fantasías. Necesito conocer a un verdadero caballero literario». Nada mal para ser algo que consiguió gracias a un hada, una noche de lluvia, en una callejuela abandonada, ¿no? Traer el mundo literario dentro de su habitación no debería ser un gran problema, pero su pedido fue tan inespecífico que trajo consigo, también, a los villanos de sus historias y ellos, ahora, buscan venganza. Mientras Edyah lucha por regresar a sus protagonistas a sus realidades, se enfrenta a su verdadera naturaleza, para descubrir que, en algunas ocasiones, la ficción y la realidad convergen de manera natural.
