«Un impresionante romance sobre el destino, la esperanza y la búsqueda de uno mismo. La descripción de los mundos y el estilo del libro te sobrecogen.» -THE NEW YORK TIMES La joven Karou ha tomado el control sobre la rebelión quimérica y ahora el futuro de su raza depende de ella, si es que aún queda futuro para las quimeras en Eretz, una tierra asolada por la guerra. Pero, cuando el brutal ejército de serafines de Jael traspasa al mundo humano, lo impensable se convierte en esencial: Karou y Akiva tendrán que unir sus ejércitos para luchar contra su enemigo común. Esta unión de ambos ejércitos es una versión alterada de su antiguo sueño, donde ángeles y quimeras conviven juntos, en paz. Pero ¿habrá lugar en este nuevo orden del mundo para el imperdonable amor entre un ángel y un demonio? Desde las calles de Roma hasta las cuevas de los kirin, humanos, quimeras y serafines lucharán, amarán y morirán en un teatro épico que trascenderá el bien y el mal, la amistad y el odio. Y, más allá de las fronteras del espacio y el tiempo, ¿qué sueñan dioses y monstruos? ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Two worlds threaten to crumble in the face of a common enemy in the epic conclusion to the New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy -- now with a gorgeous new package! What power can bruise the sky? Two worlds are poised on the brink of a vicious war. By way of a staggering deception, Karou has taken control of the chimaera's rebellion and is intent on steering its course away from dead-end vengeance. The future rests on her. When the brutal angel emperor brings his army to the human world, Karou and Akiva are finally reunited -- not in love, but in tentative alliance against their common enemy. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves. But with even bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters? The New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy comes to a stunning conclusion as -- from the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond -- humans, chimaera, and seraphim strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.

Galardón Literario Prinzt Honor ESPECTRO: EL VESTIGIO DE ALGUIEN. ¿Tendrá conciencia siquiera, o sólo reproduce sin comprender un conjunto de viejos patrones, viejas esperanzas? Sus pesadillas eran tan vívidas que casi podía respirarlas. Ningún horror escapaba a su experiencia, ya nada la sorprendía, pero... cuán equivocada estaba. En el despertar de la tragedia, ni Lazlo ni Sarai son quienes solían ser. Uno, deidad; el otro, fantasma: ambos luchan por comprender el alcance de los límites propios de su condición, que antes desconocían, pues la mente oscura de Minya los mantiene rehenes, en su intento de venganza contra Weep. Lazlo se enfrenta a una decisión impensable: ¿salvar a la mujer que ama, o al resto del mundo? Mientras tanto, Sarai se siente más indefensa que nunca. Pero ¿en verdad lo está? A veces, sólo la más terrible necesidad puede enseñarnos la magnitud de nuestra propia fortaleza, y Sarai, la musa de las pesadillas, aún no ha descubierto de qué es capaz. Mientras humanos y engendros divinos se tambalean tras la caída de la ciudadela, un nuevo enemigo echa por tierra sus frágiles esperanzas, y los misterios de los mesarthim recobran su vigencia: ¿de dónde han venido los dioses y por qué motivo? ¿Qué pasó con los miles de niños nacidos en el cunero de la ciudadela? Y lo más importante de todo: a medida que las puertas olvidadas se abren y se revelan nuevos mundos: ¿deben los héroes acabar necesariamente con los monstruos o es posible salvarlos?

Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old. She believed she knew every horror, and was beyond surprise. She was wrong. In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep. Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice - save the woman he loves, or everyone else? - while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the muse of nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of. As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with the thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible to save them instead? Love and hate, revenge and redemption, destruction and salvation all clash in this gorgeous sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Strange the Dreamer.

Which is what one always hopes will happen: for life to take over and be bigger and more marvellous than what we can dream up on our own. ********** In the gorgeously illustrated graphic novel edition of the original e-novella NIGHT OF CAKE & PUPPETS, a night only hinted at in the Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy is brought to life: the magical first date of Zuzana and Mik. This is the perfect treat for fans of the series and new readers alike. ********** Petite though she may be, Zuzana is not known for timidity. Her best friend, Karou, calls her 'rabid fairy', her 'voodoo eyes' are said to freeze blood, and even her older brother fears her wrath. But when it comes to the simple matter of talking to Mik, or 'Violin Boy', her courage deserts her. Now, enough is enough. Zuzana is determined to meet him, and she has a fistful of magic and a plan. It's a wonderfully elaborate treasure hunt of a plan that will take Mik all over Prague on a cold winter's night before finally leading him to the treasure: herself . . . Violin Boy's not going to know what hit him. ********** 'WOW. I wish I had written this book.' Patrick Rothfuss on DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE

Dois mundos se equilibram na iminência de uma terrível guerra. Na Terra, os humanos recebem com êxtase os anjos e seu imperador, que pretendem angariar armas para um combate maligno. Karou assumiu o controle da rebelião quimera e, ao menos na batalha contra o inimigo em comum, está, finalmente, ao lado de Akiva. É uma versão distorcida do tão antigo sonho dos dois, uma esperança de futuro para seus povos. E, talvez, para o amor que eles sentem renascer.
