Una oscura comedia romántica friends to lovers desbordante de asesinatos, caos y spice que no se parece a nada que hayas leído hasta ahora
Romance. Asesinatos. Caos.
Todo asesino en serie necesita un amigo.
Todo juego necesita un ganador.
Cuando un encuentro fortuito da lugar a una amistad improbable, los asesinos rivales Sloane y Rowan encuentran algo difícil de alcanzar: la afinidad de dos almas negras que disfrutan matando a otros asesinos en serie.
Desde un pequeño pueblo de West Virginia hasta la lujosa California, y desde el centro de Boston hasta la Texas rural, los dos cazadores se enfrentan en una competición anual: la caza de otros asesinos en serie, un juego que los enfrenta a los monstruos más peligrosos del país.
Pero a medida que su amistad se va transformando en algo más, los fantasmas que dejan a su paso les siguen de cerca, dispuestos a reclamar mucho más que su recién descubierto amor.
¿Podrán Rowan y Sloane salir de la tumba que se han cavado? ¿O habrán encontrado, al fin, a su digno rival y alma gemela?
When you kick over a rock, you never know what's going to crawl out.
Alex Velesky is about to discover that the hard way. He's stolen records from the Swiss bank that employs him, thinking that he'll uncover a criminal conspiracy. But he soon finds that he's tapped into the mother lode of corruption. Before he knows it, he's being hunted by everyone from the Russian mafia to the CIA.
Court Gentry and his erstwhile lover, Zoya Zakharova, find themselves on opposites poles when it comes to Velesky. They both want him but for different reasons.
That's a problem for tomorrow. Today they need to keep him and themselves alive. Right now, it's not looking good.
From the dragon-filled Temeraire series and the gothic magical halls of the Scholomance trilogy, through the realms next door to Spinning Silver and Uprooted, this stunning collection takes us from fairy tale to fantasy, myth to history, and mystery to science fiction as we travel through Naomi Novik’s most beloved stories. Here, among many others, we encounter:
• A mushroom witch who learns that sometimes the worst thing in the Scholomance can be your roommate.
• The start of the Dragon Corps in ancient Rome, after Mark Antony hatches a dragon’s egg and bonds with the hatchling.
• A young bride in the Middle Ages who finds herself gambling with Death for the highest of stakes.
• A delightful reimagining of Pride & Prejudice, in which Elizabeth Bennet captains a Longwing dragon.
• The first glimpse of the world of Abandon, the setting of Novik’s upcoming epic fantasy series—a deserted continent populated only by silent and enigmatic architectural mysteries.
Though the stories are vastly different, there is a unifying theme: wrestling with destiny, and the lengths some will go to find their own and fulfill its promise.
