Book Description
The second installment in the New York Times bestselling series "made for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Sabaa Tahir" (Bustle), Lady Smoke is an epic new fantasy about a throne cruelly stolen and a girl who must fight to take it back for her people. The Kaiser murdered Theodosia's mother, the Fire Queen, when Theo was only six. He took Theo's country and kept her prisoner, crowning her Ash Princess--a pet to toy with and humiliate for ten long years. That era has ended. The Kaiser thought his prisoner weak and defenseless. He didn't realize that a sharp mind is the deadliest weapon. Theo no longer wears a crown of ashes. She has taken back her rightful title, and a hostage--Prinz Soren. But her people remain enslaved under the Kaiser's rule, and now she is thousands of miles away from them and her throne. To get them back, she will need an army. Only, securing an army means she must trust her aunt, the dreaded pirate Dragonsbane. And according to Dragonsbane, an army can only be produced if Theo takes a husband. Something an Astrean Queen has never done. Theo knows that freedom comes at a price, but she is determined to find a way to save her country without losing herself. Praise for the Ash Princess Series: "A darkly enchanting page-turner you won't be able to put down."--Bustle "A smart, feminist twist on a traditional tale of a fallen heroine, with plenty of court intrigue, love, and lies to sweeten the deal. Good luck putting this one down." --Virginia Boecker, author of The Witch Hunter series "This searing page-turner is a compelling examination of the complexities of both evil and resistance."--Sarah Porter, author of Vassa in the Night "A dark and spellbinding epic." --Sara Holland, New York Times bestselling author of Everless "A rebel queen fans the sparks of revolution...[and] Theo's first-person narration remains enthralling with emotional immediacy...[while] packed to the brim with intrigue and the promise."-Kirkus Reviews

Languages : en
Pages : 203
Book Description
«Hay unas pequeñas rosas rosadas sobre el escritorio. Qué extraña tristeza suelen desprender las rosas de otoño...» «Por primera vez en semanas, estoy aquí sola, dispuesta a retomar mi vida "real". Eso es lo extraño: que ni los amigos, ni siquiera los amores apasionados, son mi vida real, a menos que disponga de un tiempo a solas para explorar y descubrir cuanto está ocurriendo, o cuanto ya ha ocurrido». May Sarton espera abrirse camino «entre las abruptas y rocosas profundidades para llegar al núcleo de la matriz, donde aún quedan iras y violencias no resueltas. Mi necesidad de estar a solas siempre está en contrapunto con el miedo a todo aquello que sucederá si de repente, una vez adentrada en el enorme y vacío silencio, no puedo encontrar apoyo alguno». Sarton escribe con un riguroso sentido de la observación y una gran carga emocional sobre el mundo interior y exterior: las estaciones, la vida cotidiana, los libros, la gente, las ideas; y a medida que se detiene en todo ello, va conformando su viaje artístico y espiritual. En este libro nos encontramos más cerca que nunca de la esencia de su escritura.

Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
A lo largo de una noche Antonio escribe febrilmente una carta. Una carta feroz, desgarradora y compulsiva cuyo autor no puede dejar de escribir durante una larga noche. La escritura es lo único que alivia el sufrido dolor de Antonio tras el abandono de Juanjo. “¿Recuerdas cuánto te quiero, a ti, cómo te quiero? ¿Recuerdas? ¿Me quieres recordar?” Antonio, que siempre ha huido del amor, de repente topa con él y lo único que hace es dejarlo escapar. Arrepentido y afligido la escritura de esta carta es como un conjuro para que regrese Juanjo; un descenso a sus propios infiernos, de los que sale una narración brillante y atrevida. Te esperaré, novela ganadora del II Premio Odisea de Literatura, acreditó a Tomás Ortiz (Madrid, 1978) como uno de los autores más destacados de su generación. Apasionado de la literatura desde la infancia, Tomás inició con Te esperaré (2000) su particular visión sobre la pérdida del ser amado que continuó con Seguiré aquí cuando despiertes (2003) y que culmina con Los amigos de Sebastián y Tu otra mitad (2008). A estos títulos hay que añadir un pequeño y delicioso pecado llamado Contactos (Libido, 2001) que aún consigue sonrojar al autor.
