An outsider in her village above the cloud sea, 12-year-old orphan Yeung Zhi Ging’s only hope of escape is to win the single invitation to train as a Silhouette: an apprentice to the immortals. After her ill-fated attempt to impress the Silhouette scout leads to a dragon attack on the jade mountain, Zhi Ging is sure that her chances, and her life, are over. But the scout spots her potential and offers her protection and a second chance. She’s in.
In her lessons in Hok Woh, the underwater realm of the immortals, Zhi Ging must face the challenging trials set by her teachers to prove that she’s worthy of being a Silhouette—despite her rivals' attempts to sabotage her. But as Zhi Ging’s power grows, so do the rumours of the return of the Fui Gwai, an evil spirit that turns people into grey-eyed thralls.
When the impossible happens and the Fui Gwai attack the Silhouettes, can Zhi Ging use her newly uncovered talents to save her friends and the world beyond? Or will the grey-eyed spirit consume them all?
When Margo Roth Spiegelman beckons Quentin Jacobsen in the middle of the night—dressed like a ninja and plotting an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows her. Margo’s always planned extravagantly, and, until now, she’s always planned solo. After a lifetime of loving Margo from afar, things are finally looking up for Q . . . until day breaks and she has vanished. Always an enigma, Margo has now become a mystery. But there are clues. And they’re for Q.
La primera hija es para el trono.
La segunda hija es para el lobo.
Esta oscura novela de fantasía romántica nos cuenta la historia de una joven que va a ser sacrificada al misterioso lobo del bosque para salvar su reino. Pero no todas las leyendas son ciertas, y el lobo no es el único peligro que acecha en el Bosque Salvaje.
La primera hija, la primogénita, está destinada a heredar el trono. Y Redaris, como nació después de su hermana, está condenada: van a sacrificarla al lobo del bosque.
Pero en el fondo, Redaris casi está aliviada. Atormentada por un peligroso poder que no puede controlar, al menos sabe que en el Bosque Salvaje no podrá hacerles daño a sus seres queridos. Otra vez.
Sin embargo, las leyendas mienten. El lobo es un hombre, no un monstruo. Su magia es una oportunidad, no una maldición. Y si no aprende a usarla, los antiguos dioses devorarán no solo el Bosque Salvaje, sino el mundo entero.
