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?

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

From the bestselling co-authors of the Illuminae Files comes the second book in the epic Aurora Cycle series about a squad of misfits, losers, and discipline cases who just might be the galaxy's best hope for survival. First, the bad news: an ancient evil--you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal--is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes--and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.
