8 HOURS TO STOP AN EXPLOSION...8 HOURS TO FALL IN LOVE. From the New York Times bestselling co-author of Illuminae and Aurora Rising comes a high-stakes, high-chemistry, sci-fi romp about a stowaway girl and the richest boy in the galaxy, racing the clock to outwit a gang of mercenaries. It’s 2067, and the Graves family has transformed Mars from a lifeless rock into a chaotic patch of settlements. You can buy a one-way ticket to a new life--if you''re rich. Enter Hunter Graves, the handsome, ambitious grandson of the man who settled Mars. With spectacularly bad timing, Hunter arrives at the United Nations base just as an emergency evacuation sends everyone scurrying for safety. Except he’s left behind. Uh-oh. Also stranded: Cleo, a sharp-tonged stowaway with no intention of dying today, and even less patience for overconfident trust fund boys. But the enemy of your enemy might just help you survive, so here we are. It turns out the evacuation is just a cover for the mercenaries who come next, and the plan to blow up the base--and every trace of their crime--in eight hours. Now, Hunter and Cleo have one shot to stop the explosion, escape alive, and deal with the inconvenient fact that they''re falling for each other. The clock is ticking.

Eles se apaixonaram enquanto uma guerra fervilhava ao seu redor. Mas será que esse amor resistirá às ambições dos deuses? Um sacrifício maior do que o esperado foi feito, trazendo à tona um poder nunca antes visto. Agora, Selly, Leander e Keegan precisarão descobrir como lidar com este novo perigo antes que o preço a pagar se torne alto demais. Com a ajuda da marinheira e do acadêmico, Leander conseguiu, apesar de todas as intempéries, realizar o ritual que deveria impedir uma guerra entre os deuses. Mas, em vez disso, seu sacrifício despertou Barrica, vinculando-o à deusa. Como seu Mensageiro, o príncipe carrega uma magia poderosa e destrutiva, e apenas Selly é capaz de mantê-lo a salvo de si mesmo. Porém, Barrica não foi a única entidade imortal a ser despertada. Do outro lado do oceano, Macean, o deus do risco, planeja sua vingança com a ajuda de um inimigo que todos consideravam derrotado. O que era uma disputa entre reinos se torna uma guerra entre divindades — e com a ira dos deuses e as maquinações de um governante sedento por poder testando sua lealdade, somente o destemido trio pode evitar um desfecho catastrófico. Magia e sacrifício se chocarão enquanto amantes e deuses, inimigos e aliados disputam o destino do mundo nesta eletrizante conclusão da duologia Ilhas dos Deuses.

Magic and sacrifice collide as lovers and gods, enemies and allies vie for the fate of the world in this heart pounding sequel to The Isles of the Gods. When SELLY and LEANDER began their treacherous voyage to the Isles of the Gods, the captain’s daughter and the playboy prince were strangers. But amid talk of war and a deadly attack on their ship, the unthinkable happened. They fell in love. Leander’s ritual at the island temple was meant to prevent a war between the gods. Instead, it nearly cost him his life and drew the goddess Barrica back from exile. Now, as her Messenger, Leander is imbued with her deadly magic and only Selly’s presence can stop it from consuming him. But Barrica wasn’t the only immortal roused from sleep. The God of Risk, Macean, was awakened by an enemy all thought dead, and across the sea he’s calling for war. The fight to save their world will take Selly and Leander from the gilded ballroom of the royal palace to the hallowed halls of an ancient library. Battle lines will be drawn and bonds will break. With the wrath of gods and the machinations of power-hungry rulers straining their loyalties, can their love withstand the trials that await them?

Time to find a way between worlds. Time to find each other again. Time to do the impossible. Above, in the cloudlands, Nimh has no memory of her past, only an aching, undying certainty that she has left something—someone—behind. But while she struggles to recall her identity, an imposter wields her name with deadly purpose. Below, on the surface, North looks to the sky, desperate to join the person he loves and return to his world. But with only a traitor willing to help him, and others clamoring for him to take Nimh’s place, his home seems more unreachable than ever. Tragedy looms as the cloudland engines falter and mist rains terror on the surface, and in their desperation to reunite and save their people, Nimh and North face one ultimate question: can they defy their love and their destiny to save their homes? Or will the spark between them ignite their worlds, and consume them all together?

AWARDS Shortlisted - 2021 Sara Douglass Book Series Award PRAISE FOR SCORCH DRAGONS: ''I found a satisfying fantasy world like none I have read before - one in which dragons and wolves take human form and have magical powers. One of the strengths of this book is the exploration of the idea that truth is a matter of perspective - that there are two (or more) sides to every story. There is no clear enemy, the conflict arises from the tension between the dragons and the wolves, and the reader can empathise with both sides, even though many of the adults in the story cannot ... This is a great book for middle-grade readers 8-12.'' - Reading Time PRAISE FOR ICE WOLVES: ''An engaging world and cliffhanger ending leave readers wanting more'' -- Kirkus, starred review ''Engaging to the end'' -- Books+Publishing ''you''ll wind up on the edge of your seat, unable to put it down'' -- New York Times bestseller Meagan Spooner ''A thrilling, nonstop adventure'' -- New York Times bestseller Shannon Messenger
