NOVEDADES

After a vicious werewolf attack on the night of her seventeenth birthday party, Vanessa Hart loses everything she loves in a split second. Her best friend, her father, and even her home. Bitten and imprisoned without explanation, Vanessa endures an agonizing transformation into the very beast that maimed her, and her captors make it clear she cannot escape: she will either swear her life to the Wolf Queen’s Court, or she will die. With no other choice, Vanessa joins their enchanted Castle Severi—where flowering vines grow through the walls, gifts are bestowed by the stars, and a claw can break through skin as easily as silk—but she hasn’t forgotten what they stole from her. Vanessa still seeks vengeance, scheming in the shadows even as she finds herself mesmerized by the golden prince Sinclair Severi, who threatens to steal her heart though he is promised to her nemesis. And by his brooding, disgraced cousin, Calix, whose smoldering gaze hides even darker secrets. Immersed in the magic of their whimsical yet cruel society, Vanessa soon learns not all is as it seems.

Tras el ataque de unos hombres lobo en la noche de su decimoséptimo cumpleaños, Vanessa Hart pierde todo lo que ama en un abrir y cerrar de ojos: a su mejor amiga, a su padre e incluso su hogar. Después de que la capturen y encierren, Vanessa sufre una transformación horrible que la convierte en la misma bestia que la mordió, y sus captores le dejan bien claro que nunca podrá escapar: o le jura su vida a la corte de la reina loba o morirá. Sin más opción, Vanessa se une al castillo Severi, un lugar en el que crecen increíbles enredaderas por las paredes, las estrellas parecen conceder regalos y una garra puede atravesar la piel como si fuera seda. Pero ella no ha olvidado lo que le arrebataron. Vanessa todavía busca venganza, así que comienza a maquinar un plan desde las sombras. aunque pronto se ve hipnotizada por el príncipe Sinclair Severi, quien amenaza con robarle el corazón a pesar de que está prometido con su némesis, y por su melancólico y desgraciado primo, Calix, cuya mirada ardiente esconde secretos aún más oscuros.

Preserving and enhancing a property rich in narrative and natural beauty has been a twenty-year obsession for this property’s owner. Mavec has called upon a host of well-known garden luminaries to help preserve what began as a farm with a solitary stone house originally owned by the publisher of the Nancy Drew mysteries while making it functional, productive, and beautiful for the twenty-first century. Today, a series of individual gardens rest within a natural hollow surrounded by native woodland, including a broad gathering space defined by whimsical cloud-pruned boxwood hedges, groves of lilacs, and dogwoods and hellebores that entice visitors into early-season walks with delicate color each spring, a stone-walled vegetable and flower garden whose geometry is inspired by medieval monasteries, winding perennial-lined paths, orchards that produce over five hundred pounds of apples each fall, a natural pond brimming with aquatic plants, and an elliptical hillside meadow farmed for hay. All lead intuitively back to the “town square,” an open area tucked among the dwelling spaces featuring a broad ground-level fountain that clearly identifies it as the true heart of the farm.
