NOVEDADES

A weekend partying at a remote cabin is just what Mackenzie needs. She can't wait to let loose with her friends. But a crazy night of fun leaves two of them dead—murdered. With no signs of a forced entry or struggle, suspicion turns to the five survivors. Someone isn't telling the truth. And Mackenzie's first mistake? Assuming the killing is over...

Brielle Atwater isn't sure of much, but she knows a few things: Having black wings is not normal. Selling her soul to the demons was a mistake. Lincoln Grey is the biggest jerk she's ever met…but not falling in love with him might prove impossible. When angels fell from the sky to war with the demons that ravaged Earth, their combined powers infected humanity. Now, the humans are assigned one of two fates, being either demon gifted or angel blessed. After wings sprout from Brielle's back at her awakening ceremony, she's sure she's an angel blessed celestial. It's not until she sees black wings that she realizes something is terribly wrong. Having sold her contract at a young age to save her father's life means she should be bound for Tainted Academy. That is, until a fallen angel unexpectedly fights for her to be accepted into Fallen Academy, the elite school for those that inhabit Angel City. She's immediately matched with her impossibly handsome celestial teacher, Lincoln Grey. Laying eyes on him, her first thought is that her time at the academy might actually be fun, but this theory quickly fades when she and Lincoln clash on day one. To further prove her admission into Fallen Academy is cursed, the entire school is thrown into chaos when an Abrus demon reveals that he knows Brielle's secret. Now, above all else, Lincoln must fight to protect her.

When she learns about an opportunity to free her mother from Demon City, she takes it. No matter how dangerous, Brielle will do anything to unite her family in Angel City. All is going according to plan, until her brother's awakening ceremony. What he is…it shocks everyone, and he's sent away until he can get his powers under control. When Brielle loses someone precious to her, she goes to great lengths to get them back, lengths Lincoln doesn't agree with. He thinks Brielle is too much of a risk taker—too wild, and all he can do is try his best to protect her. But with untold powers rising inside of her, Brielle might go to a place that no one can bring her back from. Not even Lincoln. Brielle needs to learn to fight the darkness that threatens to take her over because, little by little, she's losing her light.

Unas emocionantes memorias de Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, autor de El principito, basadas en sus experiencias en la Fuerza Aérea Francesa a comienzos de la Segunda Guerra Mundial Escrito en 1942, Piloto de guerra narra la experiencia del autor en la Fuerza Aérea Francesa como piloto de un avión de reconocimiento durante la batalla de Francia en 1940, centrándose en una misión sobre la ciudad de Arrás. La obra, publicada durante el exilio de Saint-Exupéry en Estados Unidos, es un relato y una reflexión acerca de la derrota de Francia, así como un llamamiento al país del norte para que se sume a la guerra contra el Tercer Reich. Publicado originalmente en Estados Unidos en francés e inglés, el libro fue prohibido en Francia, pero circuló en ediciones clandestinas durante la guerra.

Publicada en 1931, Vuelo nocturno se basa en las experiencias de Antonine de Saint-Exupéry como piloto de la compañía aérea Latécoère, que buscaba abrir nuevas rutas para el correo entre América, África y Europa en los años veinte, cuando los vuelos estaban llenos de peligros e incertidumbre. La novela narra una misión nocturna sobre la Patagonia argentina, durante la que un piloto portador del correo del sur se ve atrapado en un enorme frente de tomermenta. Sus ansiedades y las del personal de tierra se mezclan para reflejar todo el drama de una profesión en la que, en ciertos momentos, el deber llegaba a fundirse con el heroísmo.

¿Se puede comprar todo un pueblo? Durante la Era de Rafael Leónidas Trujillo, “Jotaene”, un sicario del régimen, piensa que es posible comprar un pueblo, sus negocios privados, sus instituciones públicas, sus habitantes, incluso su iglesia católica y la mujer más bella del lugar. En esta novela de Ramón Martínez Portorreal, muy amena, esperpéntica, con una historia novedosa propia del realismo mágico en el que nos desenvolvemos los dominicanos y caribeños, hallamos además un profundo bosquejo de una época oscura para la República Dominicana, una Era en la cual los ciudadanos podían ser comprados, vendidos o simplemente desaparecidos.
