NOVEDADES

Isla Crown has secured the love of two powerful rulers and broken the curses that plagued the six realms for centuries, but few know the true origins of her powers. Now, in the wake of a crushing betrayal, Isla finds herself hungry for distraction, preferring to frequent Lightlark’s seductive haunts instead of embracing her duties as the newly crowned leader of two separate realms. Worse, her fellow rulers haven’t ceded victory quietly, and there are others in Isla’s midst who don’t believe her ascent to power was earned. As certain death races toward Lightlark and secrets from the past begin to unravel, Isla must weigh her responsibility to her people against the whims of the most dangerous traitor of all: her heart. Alex Aster’s intricate world expands after the riveting culmination of the Centennial games, delving more deeply into Isla’s memories of her past, as her future hurtles toward two possible fates.

One final swim of the summer. Let’s make it last all night… Summer, 1994. Trevor can barely wrap his mind around the fact that he and his friends have graduated high school. And yet there’s no rush to get to college. He’s determined to live one night at a time. Riding shotgun from party to party, windows down, music up, his focus is entirely on his crush, the enigmatic girl in the driver’s seat. Will things ever go anywhere with Sarah? Maybe? Because Sarah has proposed a mission: They’re going to swim all the pools in town. Before long, they’re sneaking into backyards every night, splashing, floating, and loving every minute of it. But it’s still not enough for Trevor. He yearns for Sarah, despite her college boyfriend, despite her “not yet”s, despite the way she keeps pulling away the moment it starts to feel truly magical. Things finally change when they learn about a natural pool hidden deep in the woods. It seems like just another spot to check off their summer bucket list. But once they get there, they realize that this place has a curious hold on them, and something very strange is happening…

Night Shift is Stephen King’s first collection of short stories–a perfect showcase of just how far King’s dark imagination can go. Here we see mutated rats gone bad (“Graveyard Shift”); a cataclysmic virus that threatens humanity (“Night Surf,” the basis for The Stand); a possessed, evil lawnmower (“The Lawnmower Man”); unsettling children from the heartland (“Children of the Corn”); a smoker who will try anything to stop (“Quitters, Inc.”); a reclusive alcoholic who begins a gruesome transformation (“Gray Matter”); and many more. This is Stephen King at his horrifying best.

Caitlan de Once mata. Echo de Trece desobedece. Vikram de Cuatro miente. Blaine de Nueve calla. Hace diez años que los Clanes asesinaron a casi todos los miembros de la dinastía Yaromir. Hace diez años que someten Magva con violencia y tiranía. Una guerra fría que solo terminará cuando uno de ellos irrumpa en El Zavori para alzarse con el poder. Pero el palacio real está custodiado por unas fuerzas que nadie ha logrado vencer. Ni averiguar exactamente qué son. Marcados por sus terribles decisiones, parece imposible que los caminos de Caitlan, Echo, Vikram y Blaine puedan cruzarse. Sin embargo, el destino ya jugó sus cartas y quizás su alianza sea la última oportunidad que tengan para derrotar a los Clanes y devolverle el trono al príncipe soberano. Aunque maten, desobedezcan, mientan y... griten.

Stefan Zweig convierte la vida de Friedrich Nietzsche en un apasionante relato, en la odisea de un espíritu acosado por formidables demonios. Nietzsche aparece aquí como un «don Juan del conocimiento» que se aproxima con galantería —y sentido trágico— a las verdades que ejercen de soporte del consenso moral de occidente, para detectar sus debilidades y forzar después su caída. Más que una biografía, Zweig ofrece una narración literaria y vibrante: la de un hombre que eligió vivir peligrosamente, un mártir de la sinceridad absoluta, que sacrificó amistades, salud y cordura en su empeño de no traicionarse jamás.

Having moved around a lot as a child, Harding has always been interested in creating homes that evoke a sense of belonging. After designing several homes for herself, what began as a passion grew organically into a thriving career. Today Harding is known for her quintessentially British, reassuringly familiar interiors that mix traditional charm with rich atmosphere. A sense of meaning comes from deftly weaving together expertly sourced antiques and luxurious fabrics, married with craftsmanship that has a particular significance—for example, a supplier who works in a village near where a client grew up, or antiques from local dealers.  With a calming, nature-inspired palette, Harding’s residential projects embrace English country-house coziness and radiate a warmth that makes each place feel personal and well lived in, while her hospitality commissions are bold and spirited, often inspired by literary or historic characters. This first book delves into Harding’s design philosophy, which, at its heart, prioritizes human experience above all else.
