Viaggi a Eilean: Iniziazione
by Catia Polverini Gemma Herrero VirtoQuando Luna va a trascorrere l'estate con la zia Emma, scopre che questa è una strega con poteri reali, discendente da una stirpe di streghe che risale a secoli prima. Emma confessa che sono settimane che sente che un essere cerca di entrare nella sua mente e che, nonostante abbia usato i suoi più potenti incantesimi contro di lui, non può espellerlo. Una notte, durante l'esecuzione di un rituale, qualcosa non funziona correttamente ed Emma cade morta, colpita da un fulmine, davanti agli occhi di sua nipote. Luna promette di cercare l'essere che ha tormentato sua zia e vendicare la sua morte, scrivendo quel giuramento nel Libro delle Ombre di Emma, il luogo in cui ha annotato tutti i suoi incantesimi. Settimane dopo, Luna scopre, sotto quello che ha scritto, tre nuove parole, scritte con la calligrafia di Emma, che scuoterà il suo intero mondo: "Io non sono morta". Una storia di magia e stregoneria, mondi paralleli, avventure, romanticismo... Immergiti con Luna in un mondo di draghi e ippogrifi, elfi e driadi, potenti maghi e pericolosi stregoni. Hai il coraggio di accompagnarla nel suo viaggio a Eilean?

Viaggio nel ventre umano
by Patrick LoiseauQualche volta, quando siamo alla ricerca di una rotta, avviene un silenzioso quanto auspicabile braccio di ferro tra la bussola e il sogno…nel viaggio da compiere, la bussola indica il Nord, eppure il sogno fa di tutto per metterle (giustamente) i bastoni tra le ruote, naturalmentein nome del bene più prezioso, la scoperta, l’imprevisto, una certa rivelazione… Nonostante il nostro eroe sia assolutamente ordinario, ha vissuto l’esperienza di questo viaggio iniziatico; ha intrapreso la via degli studiosi alla ricerca di una sorta di utopistico guru e, in seguito, ha fatto numerosi incontri, alcuni più proficui di altri. Ecco cos’ha di speciale il suo viaggio: non si compie né sulla luna, né su un’isola misteriosa, né in una mongolfiera alla deriva, in balìa del mondo, e nemmeno al centro della terra…No! La destinazione sarà il ventre umano, questo ventre umano che pretendiamo di conoscere così bene, ma che rimane così estraneo a noi stessi, luogo paradossale in cui si nascondono entità discrete che mettono in funzione il meccanismo dei nostri travestimenti ontologici…
Viaje En El Tiempo
by Chris Karlsen MARIA GLORIA GARCIA MENENDEZNada tenía sentido. Ya se tratara de un proyecto universitario alocado, de una película de época o de actores que también actuaban en sus papeles, a Shakira no le importaba. Este no fue el fin de semana que imaginó. Ella quería irse. El ambiente, la gente y las miradas que le echaban la inquietaban. Ella no sabía lo que estaba pasando con Alex. ¿Por qué conocía a todo el mundo? ¿Por qué de repente se había vuelto tan estricto e imperioso? ¿Qué tiene este lugar que lo hace tan peligroso para ellos? Ella tuvo suficiente. Alex debe haber sentido su ansiedad. Interrumpió su conversación y estuvo a su lado en cuestión de segundos. "Te ayudaré a desmontar". Cogió las riendas de su firme agarre y la bajó al suelo. "Ven." Le ofreció su brazo y le metió la mano en el codo. "No." Shakira se negó a moverse. "Quiero irme a casa." Parecía enfermo, de color verde, como si estuviera mareado. "No puedes."

by Cristin BisharaTwo sisters become trapped in the underworld--and in the machinations of deities, shapeshifters, and ghouls--in this lush and dangerous Phoenician mythology-inspired fantasy. <p><p> Teenage sisters Samira and Rima aren't exactly living the dream. Instead, they live with their maddeningly unreliable mother in a rundown trailer in Michigan. Dad's dead, money's tight, and Mom disappears for days at a time. So when Sam's grandfather wills her the family valuables--a cache of Lebanese antiquities--she's desperate enough to try pawning them before Mom can. But she shouldn't. Because one is cursed, forbidden, the burial coin of a forgotten god. Disturbing it condemns her and Rima to the Phoenician underworld, a place of wicked cities, burning cedar forests, poisoned feasts of milk and lemons, and an endless, windless ocean. Nothing is what it seems. No one is who they say. And down here, the night never ends. <p><p> To get home--and keep her sister safe--Sam will have to outwit beautiful shapeshifters, pose as a royal bride, sail the darkest sea... and maybe kill the god of death himself.
