INFANTILES Y JUVENILES

Return to the opulent world of Elfhame, filled with intrigue, betrayal, and dangerous desires, with this first book of a captivating new duology from the #1 New York Times bestselling author Holly Black. A runaway queen. A reluctant prince. And a quest that may destroy them both. Eight years have passed since the Battle of the Serpent. But in the icy north, Lady Nore of the Court of Teeth has reclaimed the Ice Needle Citadel. There, she is using an ancient relic to create monsters of stick and snow who will do her bidding and exact her revenge. Suren, child queen of the Court of Teeth, and the one person with power over her mother, fled to the human world. There, she lives feral in the woods. Lonely, and still haunted by the merciless torments she endured in the Court of Teeth, she bides her time by releasing mortals from foolish bargains. She believes herself forgotten until the storm hag, Bogdana chases her through the night streets. Suren is saved by none other than Prince Oak, heir to Elfhame, to whom she was once promised in marriage and who she has resented for years.

Traición, alianza, amor, amistad, dolor y muerte. Al fin, Alice ha vuelto a reencontrarse con sus amigos. Sin embargo, la lucha no ha hecho más que empezar, y el peligro acecha más que nunca. En un mundo donde todo está a punto de desmoronarse, Alice sabe que las decisiones que tome serán cruciales para el destino de todos.

Alice nunca ha salido al mundo. Su cena es a las nueve en punto, su sueño dura exactamente ocho horas, jamás tiene una sola arruga en la ropa, parpadea 86 400 veces al día, respira 30 000 veces al día, solo habla cuando le preguntan, jamás ha levantado la voz y, lo más importante, jamás se ha preguntado qué pasaría si todo cambiara. Pero, ¿y si eso ocurriera? En un mundo donde la libertad está controlada, ¿hasta dónde serías capaz de llegar para recuperarla? ¿Hasta dónde serías capaz de llegar para sobrevivir?

Una ciudad nueva. Un experimento. Un reencuentro. Un asesinato. Un romance. Tras haber asistido a la destrucción de su propia ciudad, el futuro de Alice no es nada prometedor. Después de la extraña oferta de un desconocido, lo único que sabe es que va a vengarse del responsable de la desaparición de sus amigos.

«No tengo ni idea de lo que es el amor. Creo que nunca antes lo había sentido. Lo único que tengo claro es que, cada vez que pienso en eso, eres tú quien se me viene a la cabeza» Liam ha perdido su pasión por las redes sociales. Está inmerso en una relación con Michelle y el resultado ha sido catastrófico, ya que ella ahora sale a escondidas con su mejor amigo. Maia tiene pesadillas desde la noche del accidente. Todos los días va al hospital a visitar a una estrella cuya luz se tambalea. Un cumpleaños caótico. Una botella de vodka y un youtuber que acaba durmiendo en el coche de una desconocida. ¿Qué mejor combinación para conseguir que dos astros colisionen?

After their high school graduation, former best friends Cass and Syd are gearing up for their futures. Cass has planned to go to college to become an engineer, while Syd—despite the fact that her family thinks she’s messed up her whole life—has lined up a sound internship at a historic music venue.   But Cass is keeping secrets. Though his dad has forbidden it, Cass has been playing music, taking trips to San Francisco BART stations to play and make money. Somehow, it’s become a way for Cass to connect with his mother—who was also a musician—who died in a drunk driving accident on the way back from a gig when he was one.   But after Syd catches Cass playing at the BART station, and Cass finds out his mom’s old band the Darlas is going on a reunion tour, everything changes. On impulse, Cass invites Syd to the first Darlas show, and without telling anyone, they make a break for it. Turning one show into a cross-country journey, the two former friends throw away all their plans for the future and embark on a life-altering road trip following the tour, keeping it a secret from their friends and family.   Along the way, they’ll untangle the messy threads of how they became “ex”-best friends, experience the power of nature and music, and decide what they really want their lives to be. Maybe, through it all, Cass and Syd can find a way back to each other, too.
