An enthralling debut perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone set in an ancient North African-inspired fantasy world where two sisters must fight to the death to win the crown.
Sixteen-year-old Eva is a princess, born with the magick of blood and marrow–a dark and terrible magick that hasn’t been seen for generations in the vibrant but fractured country of Myre. Its last known practitioner was Queen Raina, who toppled the native khimaer royalty and massacred thousands, including her own sister, eight generations ago, thus beginning the Rival Heir tradition. Living in Raina’s long and dark shadow, Eva must now face her older sister, Isa, in a battle to the death if she hopes to ascend to the Ivory Throne–because in the Queendom of Myre only the strongest, most ruthless rulers survive.
When Eva is attacked by an assassin just weeks before the battle with her sister, she discovers there is more to the attempt on her life than meets the eye–and it isn’t just her sister who wants to see her dead. As tensions escalate, Eva is forced to turn to a fey instructor of mythic proportions and a mysterious and handsome khimaer prince for help in growing her magick into something to fear. Because despite the love she still has for her sister, Eva will have to choose: Isa’s death or her own.

Abejas y truenos lejanos es la historia inquebrantable de amor, valentía y rivalidad de tres jóvenes que empiezan a comprender el significado de la amistad. En una pequeña ciudad costera, a un tiro de piedra de Tokio, se celebra una prestigiosa competición de piano. A lo largo de dos febriles semanas, tres músicos vivirán algunos de los momentos más felices (y dolorosos) de sus vidas. Aún no lo saben, pero cada uno cambiará de un modo profundo e impredecible a los demás para siempre.Aya era una virtuosa del piano que renunció a actuar tras la muerte de su madre y ahora busca regresar al escenario. Masaru, un amigo de la infancia de Aya que empezó a tocar el piano gracias a su insistencia, se reencuentra con ella después de muchos años, y está resuelto a que los dos triunfen. Akashi, casado y cerca de la treintena, trabaja en una tienda de música y es el «viejo» de la competición, aunque tiene la esperanza de conseguir una última oportunidad para triunfar. Y Jin, un prodigio de dieciséis años, es un espíritu libre, hijo de un apicultor que viaja sin cesar; no tiene una formación profesional (ni tampoco un piano), pero su visión cautivadora de la música llamó la atención de uno de los pianistas más célebres del mundo, el difunto maestro Von Hoffmann.Cada uno de ellos romperá las normas, asombrará a sus seguidores y llegará al límite. Pero ¿a qué precio?
Eres precios@ tal y como eres, no necesitas cambiar tu forma de ser para contentar a nadie.
¡Aceptate!
Hola, soy Inma Franco. Cuando era una niña me diagnosticaron el síndrome de Saethre-Chotzen, pase varias veces por el quirófano y me quedaron secuelas.
Para algunos mi rostro era "diferente", y por ello sufrí acoso escolar.
Muchas personas se rieron de mí, me hicieron creer que era un estorbo y, en los peores momentos, un monstruo. Durante un tiempo me lo repitieron tanto que creí que era verdad y que el problema era yo.
Cuando ya no pude más, empece a luchar contra los prejuicios, aprendí a valorarme y a creer que los sueños, con esfuerzo, se pueden hacer realidad.
Esta es una historia de amor verdadero, del más puro que puede existir: el de aceptarse y quererse a uno mismo tal y como es.
Se que es posible y que tú tambien puedes hacerlo, por eso te comparto mi historia.
Lie. Cheat. Bribe. How far would you go to get into your dream school? How far would your parents go? Inspired by the recent college admissions scandal, this ripped-from-the-headlines novel sees one teenage girl’s privileged world shatter when her family’s lies are exposed.
It’s good to be Chloe Wynn Berringer-she has it all-money, privilege, and a ticket to the college of her dreams. Or at least she did until the FBI came knocking on her front door, guns at the ready, and her future went up in smoke. Now her B list celebrity mother is under arrest in a massive college admissions bribery scandal, and Chloe might be the next one facing charges. The public is furious, the headlines are brutal, and the US attorney is out for blood.
As everything she’s taken for granted starts to slip away, Chloe must reckon not only with the truth of what happened, but also with the examination of her own guilt. How much did she really know-or guess? Why did her parents think the only way for her to succeed was to cheat? And what does it really mean to be complicit?
