by Diana GabaldonOtra apasionante entrega de la serie «Outlander». Una novela con peso propio, en la que el lector encontrará esa forma única y original de exponer los más nobles sentimientos humanos que caracteriza las historias de Diana Gabaldon.

Con gran maestría, Gabaldon entrelaza períodos históricos sin perder nunca el hilo argumental.»Locus «De cualidad superior, un talento que va más allá de una narración inteligente.»The Grand Prairie News «La mejor trilogía que he leído hasta hoy. La historia y la narración son estupendas. Las escenas de amor son magníficas y el humor es una delicia.»The Time Machine «Diana Gabaldon es una excelente narradora. Al contrario que la mayoría de secuelas y trilogías, Viajera es tan buena como las novelas que la han precedido. Un acontecimiento literario sólo posible gracias al genio de Diana Gabaldon.»The Talisman

Vial of Tears
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.

Viale Disperazione: un thriller psicologico paranormale carico di suspense e mistero
by A. Hernández“Rimarrà sempre nella mia mente il rumore delle foglie morte che scricchiolavano sotto i miei piedi e quel filo d’aria tiepida che mi accarezzava il viso come mani invisibili. Feci qualche passo e, semplicemente, caddi a terra senza vita” Questo potrebbe essere il finale di un romanzo, ma in Viale Disperazione è solo l'inizio. Con la sua morte, il protagonista è intrappolato in una specie di soglia, da qualche parte tra vivi e morti. Il suo viaggio lo porta nel suo vecchio luogo di residenza e a reincontrarsi con quella che era una volta la sua famiglia. Sarà solo in quel momento che capirà quanto sia cambiato e il grave pericolo che incombe su di loro.
