Buscaré el océano
by Carrie RyanNo hay lugar seguro para Mary. Su aldea está pobremente protegida del bosque que la rodea... donde habitan los Condenados, zombis hambrientos. En el mundo de Mary hay algunas verdades incuestionables: La Hermandad sabe más que nadie. Los Guardianes protegen y sirven. Los Condenados no se rinden nunca. Y hay que tener mucho cuidado con la alambrada que rodea el pueblo, la alambrada que protege a sus habitantes de los Condenados, zombies hambrientos que habitan en el bosque. Sin embargo, poco a poco estas verdades dejan de convencer a Mary. Aprende cosas que habría preferido no saber nunca sobre la Hermandad y sus secretos, y sobre los Guardianes y su poder. Y, cuando se rompe la alambrada y su mundo se ve sumido en el caos, aprende cómo son los Condenados y hasta dónde llega su avidez insaciable. Ahora tiene que elegir entre su aldea y su futuro, entre la persona a quien ama y la persona que la ama. Y debe enfrentarse a la verdad sobre el Bosque. ¿Es posible que exista vida más allá de un mundo rodeado de tanta muerte?

Los lectores no olvidarán el mundo de Mary.»Cassandra Clare, autora de la saga Cazadores de sombras «Una excelente historia de amor postapocalíptica, escrita con elegancia desde el título hasta la última línea.»Scott Westerfeld, autor de la saga Traición
