For the past five years, Bitterblue has reigned as Queen of Monsea, heroically rebuilding her nation after her father’s horrific rule. After learning about the land of Torla in the east, she sends envoys to the closest nation there: Winterkeep—a place where telepathic foxes bond with humans, and people fly across the sky in wondrous airships. But when the envoys never return, having drowned under suspicious circumstances, Bitterblue sets off for Winterkeep herself, along with her spy Hava and her trusted colleague Giddon. On the way, tragedy strikes again—a tragedy with devastating political and personal ramifications.
Meanwhile, in Winterkeep, Lovisa Cavenda waits and watches, a fire inside her that is always hungry. The teenage daughter of two powerful politicians, she is the key to unlocking everything—but only if she’s willing to transcend the person she’s been all her life.
Winston Spencer Churchill es un icono de la política. No sólo de la británica, sino una referencia universal y en buena medida intemporal. Su vida es conocida hasta el último detalle. Sobre él se han escrito libros, celebrado congresos, producido series de televisión y películas y se representó un musical en el famoso teatro West End de Londres. Winston S. Churchill ha sido considerado como el más grande e importante inglés de su tiempo. Su rostro, sus palabras, su forma de afrontar y actuar ante los problemas, su ironía, han quedado grabadas en la memoria de la Humanidad. Esta obra no es una biografía completa. Se centra en analizar la evolución de su pensamiento político a través de sus palabras y sus frases que aún hoy remiten una y otra vez como síntesis de una actitud ante la vida. Winston Churchill se hizo famoso por su oposición frente a los totalitarismos, pero es inmortal por sus palabras y sus escritos en los que el auténtico hilo conductor de todas sus ideas, su actividad y su lucha política fue la constante defensa de las libertades fundamentales de los ciudadanos y de la democracia como forma de Estado y de gobierno frente a cualquier amenaza de autocracia y totalitarismo.

Mari never gave much thought to the afterlife before her untimely demise, but she certainly didn’t think it would be an experimental wellness enclave called Paradise Gate—a place where the newly dead go to sort out the unfinished business of their lives. She also didn’t think the biggest problem to plague her in life would follow her into the great beyond: her also recently deceased mother, Faye. Mari quickly realizes Faye is her unfinished business, and in order to move on to whatever’s next, she’ll have to find a way to forgive her dysfunctional mother for being no mother at all. But there’s so much to forgive: never holding down a steady job, never having a stable home, and abandoning Mari in the end.
