Imani is a magic-wielding warrior sworn to protect her land from the monsters that roam the desert. But an even worse enemy now threatens the Sahir. As the powerful Harrowlanders march south with their greatest weapon—spice magic—Imani knows it’s only a matter of time before their invasion of her land begins . . . and it will be a losing battle for her people.
But Imani also knows that one way to fight magic is with monsters. If she can restore Qayn’s stolen powers, together they can summon a supernatural army to defend the Sahir from the Harrowlanders. Forming an alliance with a djinni king is risky, but Imani will do anything to save her people, even embarking on a dangerous quest beyond the sands to find the magical jewels of Qayn’s lost crown.
As Imani journeys far from home, she will discover monsters that warriors have only heard about in myths . . . monsters that can strike at any moment. Meanwhile, her rival, Taha, has been captured and is on a dangerous mission of his own.
One wrong move could cost them their lives—and everyone they love. But they may find that there is more than meets the eye crossing the Serpent Sea . . . and betrayal cuts deeper than any dagger.
In this richly imagined Arabian-inspired fantasy told from a riveting dual perspective, critically acclaimed author Maiya Ibrahim dives into the complexities of love and war.
It is an era of tainted technology and mysterious mysticism. A great change has happened all over the planet, and the laws of physics aren’t what they used to be.
Within all this, I introduce you to Ejii Ugabe, a child of the worst type of politician. Back when she was nine years old, she was there as her father met his end.

Children are still learning that some people don’t deserve their love.

Simmering with magic, peril, romance, and heartbreak."—Leigh Bardugo, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Shadow and Bone
Born without a trace of magic, Tamsin Lark is no match for the sorceresses and Hollowers who populate the magical underground of Boston. But when the only parent she’s ever known disappears without so much as a goodbye, she has no choice but to join in their cutthroat pursuit of enchanted relics to keep herself—and her brother, Cabell—alive.
Ten years later, rumors are swirling that her guardian found a powerful ring from Arthurian legend just before he vanished. A run-in with her rival Emrys ignites Tamsin’s hope that the ring could free Cabell from a curse that threatens both of them. But they aren’t the only ones who covet the ring.
As word spreads, greedy Hollowers start circling, and many would kill to have it for themselves. While Emrys is the last person Tamsin would choose to partner with, she needs all the help she can get to edge out her competitors in the race for the ring. Together, they dive headfirst into a vipers’ nest of dark magic, exposing a deadly secret with the power to awaken ghosts of the past and shatter her last hope of saving her brother.
Montserrat has always been overlooked. She's a talented sound editor, but she's left out of the boys' club running the film industry in '90s Mexico City. And she's all-but-invisible to her best friend Tristán, a charming if faded soap opera star, even though she's been in love with him since childhood.
Then Tristán discovers his new neighbour is the cult horror director Abel Urueta, and the legendary auteur claims he has a way to change their lives - even if his tales of a Nazi occultist imbuing magic into highly volatile silver nitrate stock sounds like sheer fantasy. The magic film was never finished, which is why, Urueta swears, his career vanished overnight. He is cursed.
Now the director wants Montserrat and Tristán to help him shoot the missing scene and lift the curse... but Montserrat soon notices a dark presence following her, and Tristán begins seeing the ghost of his ex-girlfriend...
As they work together to unravel the mystery of the film and the obscure occultist who once roamed their city, Montserrat and Tristan might find out that sorcerers and magic are not only the stuff of movies...
Two decades ago, the Bloodmoons ruthlessly murdered Saffron Killoran’s parents, destroying her idyllic childhood. Hell-bent on revenge, she lies her way into Silvercloak Academy—the training ground for her city’s elite order of detectives—with a single goal: to bring the Bloodmoons to justice.
But when Saff’s deception is exposed, rather than being cast out, she’s given a rare opportunity: to go undercover and tear the Bloodmoons down from the inside.
Descending into a world where pleasure and pain are the most powerful currencies, Saff must commit some truly heinous deeds to keep her cover—and her life. Not only are there rival gangs and sinister smuggling rings to contend with, but there’s also her growing feelings for the kingpin’s tortured son, with his vicious pet fallowwolf, his dark past, and the curious prophecy foretelling his death at Saffron’s hand.

Enclosed under a vast dome, Snowglobe is the last place on Earth that’s warm. Outside Snowglobe is a frozen wasteland, and every day, citizens face the icy world to get to their jobs at the power plant, where they produce the energy Snowglobe needs. Their only solace comes in the form of twenty-four-hour television programming streamed directly from the domed city.
The residents of Snowglobe have everything: fame, fortune, and above all, safety from the desolation outside their walls. In exchange, their lives are broadcast to the less fortunate outside, who watch eagerly, hoping for the chance to one day become actors themselves.
Chobahm lives for the time she spends watching the shows produced inside Snowglobe. Her favorite? Goh Around, starring Goh Haeri, Snowglobe’s biggest star—and, it turns out, the key to getting Chobahm her dream life.
Because Haeri is dead, and Chobahm has been chosen to take her place. Only, life inside Snowglobe is nothing like what you see on television. Reality is a lie, and truth seems to be forever out of reach.
Trip. My parents started using that word about a year ago—“one day, you’ll take a trip to be with us. Like an adventure.”
Javier Zamora’s adventure is a three-thousand-mile journey from his small town in El Salvador, through Guatemala and Mexico, and across the U.S. border. He will leave behind his beloved aunt and grandparents to reunite with a mother who left four years ago and a father he barely remembers. Traveling alone amid a group of strangers and a “coyote” hired to lead them to safety, Javier expects his trip to last two short weeks.
At nine years old, all Javier can imagine is rushing into his parents’ arms, snuggling in bed between them, and living under the same roof again. He cannot foresee the perilous boat trips, relentless desert treks, pointed guns, arrests and deceptions that await him; nor can he know that those two weeks will expand into two life-altering months alongside fellow migrants who will come to encircle him like an unexpected family.
A memoir as gripping as it is moving, Solito provides an immediate and intimate account not only of a treacherous and near-impossible journey, but also of the miraculous kindness and love delivered at the most unexpected moments. Solito is Javier Zamora’s story, but it’s also the story of millions of others who had no choice but to leave home.

Tommy y Helsey están a punto de descubrir que el amor de verdad no se puede controlar y que un beso puede hacerte volar hasta tocar las estrellas.
Helsey solo tiene dos reglas:
Nunca te relaciones con los chicos del equipo de fútbol. Nunca seas el centro de atención.
Porque Helsey tiene dos objetivos: Mantenerse en su zona de confort. Conseguir que su secreto siga siendo un secreto.

Siendo concretos: Tommy Taylor y tener que fingir que son novios para que su familia no piense que es una negada total.
¿Qué podría salir mal?
¿Lo de fingir una relación? ¿Lo de hacerse amigos en el proceso? O, quizás, ¿lo de dejarse llevar? Sí, seguramente será eso último… Lo que Helsey no imagina es lo increíble que va a resultar, cuánto va a reír, cuánto va a soñar y, sobre todo, cuánto va a sentir.

«Este libro es para ti, por haberte unido a nosotros en este viaje y por continuar inspirándonos... y también para todos aquellos que se ganan la vida soñando o que sueñan con hacerlo. Porque este mundo necesita más creadores de historias. Necesita más soñadores.». -Matt y Ross Duffer
Hawkins, Indiana, es para la mayoría una ciudad sencilla e idílica. Pero para Eddie Munson, vivir allí es como estar atrapado en una perpetua Tumba de los Horrores. Por suerte, en unos meses ya podrá decir que ha sobrevivido al instituto... Y ¿qué le ha supuesto el último año, en realidad, aparte de matar el tiempo entre sesiones de Dragones & Mazmorras y ensayos con su banda?
Es en el peor antro de la ciudad donde Eddie conoce a Paige, alguien que ha obrado un puñetero milagro: escapó de Hawkins y se lo ha montado genial trabajando para un productor musical en Los Ángeles. No solo es la definición de una tía dura (con un gusto musical brutal), sino que tal vez sea la única que ve a Eddie como el bardo que realmente es en lugar de como la encarnación del demonio. Paige le ofrece la oportunidad de labrarse un futuro, y todo lo que necesita para lograrlo es hacer una demo de las mejores canciones de Ataúd Carcomido.
No obstante: grabar cuesta dinero. Y eso es precisamente algo que Eddie no tiene, aunque está dispuesto a cualquier cosa con tal de conseguirlo..., incluso a confiar en su viejo, Al Munson, quien acaba de reaparecer con otro negocio sospechoso bajo la manga. Es arriesgado, pero es su única opción si quiere conseguir la pasta a tiempo y, así, agenciarse un billete sin retorno fuera de Hawkins.
Eddie está seguro: 1984 va a ser su año.

Un enemigo común, una causa común.
Karou y Akiva ya saben que están vivos... pero Karou aún no está preparada para perdonar.
Y ahora, mediante un terrible engaño, Karou ha tomado el control sobre la rebelión quimérica y el futuro de su raza depende de ella, si es que aún queda futuro para las quimeras en Eretz, una tierra devastada por la guerra.
Cuando el brutal ejército de serafines de Jael penetra en el mundo humano, lo impensable se convierte en esencial: Karou y Akiva tendrán que unir sus ejércitos para luchar contra un enemigo común.
Esta unión de ambos ejércitos es una versión alterada de su antiguo sueño, donde ángeles y quimeras conviven juntos, en paz. Donde hay esperanza para su imperdonable amor entre ángel y demonio.
Pero sobre Eretz se ciernen mayores amenazas que Jael. Una cruel reina va a la caza de Akiva y en los cielos está ocurriendo algo. Gigantescas manchas se extienden como moratones de un lado a otro del horizonte.

Desde las calles de Roma hasta las cuevas de los Kirins, humanos, quimeras y serafines lucharán, amarán y morirán en un teatro épico que trascenderá el bien y el mal, la amistad y el odio.
Y, más allá de las fronteras del espacio y el tiempo, ¿qué sueñan dioses y monstruos? ¿Y acaso alguna otra cosa importa?
Seventeen-year-old Leopold Berry is seeing weird things around Los Angeles. A man who pops a tooth into a parking meter. A glowing trapdoor in a parking lot.

Every hallucinatory moment seems plucked from a cheesy 1990s fantasy TV show called Max's Adventures in Sunderworld—and that’s because they are.
Not a good sign.

Pero ¿cómo se ha transformado Taylor Swift en uno de los grandes iconos musicales del siglo XXI? ¿Qué tiene su música para conseguir atrapar a tanta gente y despertar una fidelidad casi religiosa en sus seguidores? ¿Qué hay en sus letras para que toda una generación se sienta reflejada en ellas?
Este diario trata de responder a esas preguntas. Aquí, la vida de alguien que lleva toda su vida escuchando a Taylor Swift (alguien que podrías ser tú) y la de Taylor se mezclan y se confunden. Porque seguro que esto es lo que tú has sentido alguna vez, ¿verdad? Que Taylor, al hablar de sí misma, hablaba también de ti y de todas esas cosas que recuerdas demasiado bien.
Abrir el corazón, dejar que se desangre, así entiende Alberto Villarreal la poesía y, en este nuevo libro, rompe con todo lo que nos enseñaron sobre ocultar lo que sentimos y esconder el amor que no encaja en lo que otros esperan.Cada poema de Te daré el olvido habla sin filtros sobre nombrar lo que duele y amar con valentía, sin miedo. Es un testimonio sobre lo difícil que es olvidar a las personas que hemos amado, y cómo su ausencia se vuelve un eco constante en el cuerpo.

Last summer, Alice Ogilvie’s basketball-star boyfriend Steve dumped her. Then she disappeared for five days.

After the jaw-dropping revelation that Oak is the heir to Faerie, Jude must keep her younger brother safe. To do so, she has bound the wicked king, Cardan, to her, and made herself the power behind the throne. Navigating the constantly shifting political alliances of Faerie would be difficult enough if Cardan were easy to control. But he does everything in his power to humiliate and undermine her even as his fascination with her remains undiminished.
When it becomes all too clear that someone close to Jude means to betray her, threatening her own life and the lives of everyone she loves, Jude must uncover the traitor and fight her own complicated feelings for Cardan to maintain control as a mortal in a Faerie world.
This fully annotated volume collects three of Baum's fourteen Oz novels in which he developed his utopian vision and which garnered an immense and loyal following. The Wizard of Oz (1900) introduces Dorothy, who arrives from Kansas and meets the Scarecrow, the Tin Woodman, the Cowardly Lion, and a host of other characters. The Emerald City of Oz (1910) finds Dorothy, Aunt Em, and Uncle Henry coming to Oz just as the wicked Nome King is plotting to conquer its people. In Baum's final novel, Glinda of Oz (1920), Dorothy and Princess Ozma try to prevent a battle between the Skeezers and the Flatheads. Tapping into a deeply rooted desire in himself and his loyal readers to live in a peaceful country which values the sharing of talents and gifts, Baum's imaginative creation, like all great utopian literature, holds out the possibility for change.
Wilhelmina Hart is part of the infamous class of 2020. Her high school years began with a shocking presidential election and ended with a pandemic. In the midst of this global turmoil, she also lost one of her beloved aunts, a loss she still feels keenly. Having deferred college, Wilhelmina now lives in a limbo she can see no way out of, like so many of her peers. Wilhelmina’s personal darkness would be unbearable (especially with another monumental election looming) but for the inexplicable and seemingly magical clues that have begun to intrude on her life—flashes of bizarre, ecstatic whimsy that seem to add up to a message she can’t quite grasp. But something tells her she should follow their lead. Maybe a trail of elephants, birds, angels, and stale doughnuts will lead Wilhelmina to a door?
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.

Continua la magia y la aventura en Nueva York, en plena lucha de brujas.
Derrotar al mago de sangre solo fue el principio. Al límite de sus fuerzas individuales y de su integridad como grupo, Tommy, Victoria y el resto del aquelarre de Manhattan tendrán que hacer frente a un nuevo enemigo, alguien que aguardaba en las sombras y que ahora amenaza con resucitar una guerra que llevaba siglos cerrada.
Además, el aquelarre encarará tres rebeliones: la de los humanos contra la magia, la del mundo sobrenatural contra las Veneradas y, la más dura de todas, la suya contra todo aquello en lo que creían. Del resultado de esta última depende su futuro y el del resto de las brujas buenas.
¿Qué sucede cuando se encuentran dos almas gemelas?
Yugen es el grupo de moda del momento. El éxito inesperado arrolló a sus integrantes hace tres años. Ahora, Gabi, Leo, Axel y Pol intentan lidiar con la fama, el acoso de la prensa y la presión de los fans. Lo que nadie sabe es que la popularidad tiene dos caras y no es oro todo lo que reluce.
Leo es el guitarrista y compositor de la banda. La voz de la razón y el líder que siempre hace lo que se espera de él, hasta que conoce a Nura en uno de sus conciertos y todas sus convicciones se tambalean. Ella es una escritora de novelas de terror que no se siente impresionada por su fama. Aparentemente no tienen nada en común, pero Nura es un soplo de aire fresco en un mundo donde las apariencias lo son todo. Porque, a veces, los polos opuestos se atraen hasta el límite de la locura y solo hace falta que dos destinos se crucen para cambiarlo todo.
¿Existen personas destinadas a encontrarse?
Axel es el bajista de Yugen, el grupo del momento. La fama le ha enseñado a no confiar en nadie y lo único que quiere es pasar desapercibido, hasta que el encuentro fortuito con Lila, una pelirroja de armas tomar, lo trastoca todo.
Lila pasa los días en la floristería familiar. Puede parecer huraña, pero huye de un pasado que la atormenta. Cuando su mejor amiga la invita a acompañarla a Maldivas para conocer a Yugen, lo último que espera es reencontrarse con Axel, el impresentable que le quitó un taxi en Madrid. Pero esta vez descubrirán que los polos opuestos se atraen... y se encuentran.
Entre playas de arena blanca, atardeceres infinitos, peces de colores y noches de música y canciones, Maldivas será para ellos un viaje inolvidable. Porque las historias increíbles surgen de la casualidad, se guían por el instinto y nos llevan a dar el salto.
Esta es la historia de una chica cuya mente diabólica le ha permitido llegar a lo más alto. Pero, ¿cuántas veces se puede renacer de las cenizas?
Imogen es una fugitiva huérfana, heredera de una fortuna, además de una cocinera y una tramposa.
Jule es una luchadora, una persona camaleónica y una atleta.
Una amistad intensa. Una desaparición. Un asesinato, o quizás dos.
Una historia de desamor, o quizás tres.
Sangre y chocolate.
Superhéroes, espías y villanos.
Una chica que se niega a darle a la gente lo que quiere de ella.
Una chica que se niega a ser quien fue.

NUESTRAS CAÍDAS
TODO LO QUE NO ESTÁ EN NUESTRAS MANOS
