Arclight
by Josin L. McqueinA harrowing sci-fi thriller about a teen who's survived horrors but lost her memory, for fans of Veronica Roth, Stephen King, and Justin Cronin. Arclight is a bold and astonishing debut about identity, unnerving connections, tortured romance, and the courage we find when we face our worst nightmares. The Arclight is the last refuge in a post-apocalyptic world consumed by terrifying monsters called the Fade. No one crosses the wall of light that keeps the last human survivors safe. There's nothing else left and nowhere to go. Or so they thought, until Marina, a lone teenage girl, stumbles out of the Dark. Marina doesn't remember who she is, where she came from, or how she survived. And the Fade want her back. When one of them infiltrates the compound and recognizes Marina, she begins to unlock secrets she didn't even know she had. Marina knows she's an outsider in the Arclight, but she'll do anything to protect those who saved her. Whether they want her help or not.
Arde conmigo
by Steven Savile Alicia L. AlonsoEl autor británico de superventas de series como Doctor Who, Primeval y Torchwood presenta un thriller rodeado de ocultismo, en el que las calles del viejo Londres de la reina Victoria se ven sumidas en un caos de asesinatos y fenómenos sobrenaturales. Cosas muy extrañas y terroríficas ocurren en Londres. Los leones de Trafalgar han abandonado sus pedestales junto a la columna de Lord Nelson, para defender la ciudad y cumplir una antigua profecía. Mientras tanto, una presencia siniestra, libre de nuevo tras vivir aprisionada durante siglos, se ha lanzado a la caza de presas indefensas a través de las calles iluminadas por lámparas de gas y los mercados de carne del distrito de Whitechapel. Las mujeres que persigue son muy distintas de las prostitutas que están siendo brutalmente asesinadas por un tal Jack. Son mujeres que se hacen pasar por vendedoras de flores, pero por cuyas venas corre sangre de ángel. Entre estas dos fuerzas del bien y del mal se encuentran los Greyfriar, dispuestos a enfrentarse a los enemigos infernales sin más armas que su agudeza mental y un toque de magia de la vieja escuela. Para ellos, el éxito radica en poder rescatar la sangre inocente y los tiernos corazones que la hacen latir. El precio de la derrota es demasiado horrible. Únete a Dorian Carruthers y a los inquebrantables caballeros Greyfriar para evitar que el Diablo y sus secuaces tomen la ciudad y la hagan suya, en un viaje a través de las entrañas más oscuras de Londres y directo a la mismísima Escalera Catamina que baja a los infiernos.

Armed in Her Fashion
by Kate Heartfield“Heartfield’s impressive novel tells the story of folklore figure Mad Meg (or Dull Gret), who legendarily led a group of women to pillage hell” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In 1328, Bruges is under siege by the Chatelaine of Hell and her army of chimeras—humans mixed with animals or armor, forged in the deep fires of the Hellbeast. At night, revenants crawl over the walls and bring plague and grief to this city of widows. Margriet de Vos learns she’s a widow herself when her good-for-nothing husband comes home dead from the war. He didn’t come back for her—in fact he moves right past her, pulls a secret chest of coins and weapons from under his floorboards, and goes back through the mouth of the beast called Hell. Margriet killed her first soldier when she was eleven, and she’s buried six of her seven children. She’ll do anything for Beatrix, her last surviving child, even if it means raiding Hell itself to get her inheritance back. Beatrix is haunted by a dead husband of her own, and blessed—or cursed—with an enchanted distaff that allows her to control the revenants and see the future. Together with a transgender man-at-arms who has unfinished business with the Chatelaine, a traumatized widow with a giant water-powered forge-hammer at her disposal, and a wealthy alderman’s wife who escapes Bruges with her children, Margriet and Beatrix forge a raiding party like Hell has never seen. “A strange, compelling, genre-bending debut . . . Part horror, part fantasy, part history, and part epic, it combines all of its elements into a commentary on gender, power, and patriarchy.” —Tor.com

Era um círculo com três triângulos dentro. Cada triângulo tinha um anjo segurando uma cruz. O mais estranho de tudo era o fato de que o desenho vermelho cheirava a sangue fresco. Não pensei duas vezes e limpei-o com uma vassoura até que não houvesse mais nada para ver.
