Twelve years after the events of House of Salt and Sorrows, the Thaumas sisters are scattered across Arcannia. Despite dreams of adventures far beyond the Salann shores, almost-eighteen year old Verity has remained at Highmoor, lending a helping hand to older sister Camille.
When Mercy sends word that the Duchess of Bloem wife to the celebrated botanist, Gerard Laurent is interested in having Verity paint a portrait of her son, Alexander, Verity jumps at the chance, but can’t understand why Camille won’t allow it. When an argument breaks out between the two, Camille reveals the truth: Verity is still seeing ghosts, she just doesn’t know it.
Stunned, Verity flees Highmoor that night and with nowhere else to turn—makes her way to Bloem. At first, she is captivated by the lush and luxurious province and is also quickly drawn to Alexander Laurent, finding the heir charming, witty, and impossibly handsome.
But it’s not long before she is plagued with nightmares, and the darker side of Bloem begins to show through its sickly-sweet façade.
She may be down . . . but her fangs are out.
After defeating Lucifer and saving the world, Schuyler Van Allen woke up in an entirely different reality and learned she had to do it all over again. Find the villain, take him down, save the world. But after losing her only allies, Jack Force–who ran off to protect her–and Kingsley Martin–who was captured and killed by the enemy, Schuyler has to face facts. She’s going to have to do this alone . . . or is she?
When a mysterious new girl named Eoife shows up at Duchesne Academy, Schuyler at first thinks she must be yet another enemy, but she soon finds out that Eoife could be the answer Schuyler’s been looking for. A member of an ages old secret society of heroes called the Palladins, Eoife is here to help–and she has friends–lots of them. United with another unlikely ally in Max Force, the group might just have a fighting chance–if they can find and rescue Jack, get Max’s Blue Blood powers back, solve the theory of chaos magic and take down a friend turned foe. Oh, and fight off an army of Silver Bloods and otherworldly monsters led by the devil himself.
Can Schuyler finally put an end to the war between heaven and hell? Or will she have another world to save each time she opens her eyes?
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...
«Estando en posesión de esa fórmula, cualquiera podría convertirse en la persona más rica y poderosa del mundo. Todos querrían comprarla, al precio que fuera: la eterna juventud, la inmortalidad, el viaje en el tiempo…, la posibilidad de dar vida a quien ha muerto; todos los sueños de la humanidad por fin a nuestro alcance».
En el vertiginoso mundo del siglo XXI, altamente tecnificado y donde solo cuenta el poder del dinero, Max y Nora tendrán que luchar contra todos los que, sin que importen los medios para hacerlo, desean apropiarse de la fórmula secreta de Frankenstein. Separados, y sin saber en quién confiar, tendrán que plantearse de nuevo qué es un monstruo, y se verán inmersos en una carrera contrarreloj para poder estar juntos y tener un futuro.
Una intriga en la que confluyen los géneros de novela policíaca y gótica. Todo comienza cuando el joven Max se despierta en una casa en ruinas; su cuerpo está cruzado por enormes cicatrices que evidencian que ha sido atendido por un cirujano, pero él no recuerda nada. Nora estudia Medicina en la ciudad alemana de Ingolstadt y esa misma noche de Carnaval conoce a Max cuando ambos salvan a una niña de morir ahogada en el Danubio. La atracción es inmediata.
Traiciones, engaños, amistad y amor, en esta primera novela ambientada en el fascinante universo de La Guerra de las Brujas.
Una precuela de la aclamada trilogía fantástica La Guerra de las Brujas.
Desde tiempos inmemoriales, los clanes de las brujas Omar han vivido ocultándose de las sanguinarias brujas Odish. Deméter, la niña oráculo de Amorgos, ignora el alcance de sus poderes hasta que su magia atrae la mirada de la Odish Ate. Súbitamente, el odio contra las brujas y las mujeres, siempre latente, se enciende en la pequeña isla griega y destruye su infancia.
Y a pesar de Ate, de las supersticiones y de su propio clan, la joven Deméter se niega a acatar el dictado del terror. Su temeridad alimenta la leyenda de la loba gris, una esperanza para las brujas rebeldes.
