Kirkus Reviews ENGLISH DESCRIPTION For fans of Marie Lu comes the first book in an epic series that bends the sci-fi genre into a new dimension. "A truly beautiful novel that redefines the form." —Victoria Aveyard, bestselling author of Red Queen This morning, Kady thought breaking up with Ezra was the hardest thing she''d have to do. This afternoon, her planet was invaded. The year is 2575, and two rival megacorporations are at war over a planet that''s little more than a speck at the edge of the universe. Now with enemy fire raining down on them, Kady and Ezra—who are barely even talking to each other—are forced to evacuate with a hostile warship in hot pursuit. But their problems are just getting started. A plague has broken out and is mutating with terrifying results; the fleet''s AI may actually be their enemy; and nobody in charge will say what''s really going on. As Kady hacks into a web of data to find the truth, it''s clear the only person who can help her is the ex-boyfriend she swore she''d never speak to again. Told through a fascinating dossier of hacked documents—including emails, maps, files, IMs, medical reports, interviews, and more—Illuminae is the first book in a heart-stopping trilogy about lives interrupted, the price of truth, and the courage of everyday heroes.

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.

Cuando Anders, un huérfano de 12 años, adquiere la forma de lobo, mientras que su hermana gemela, Rayna, la de dragón, las dudas sobre su relación les acechan. Pero Rayna es la única familia de Anders, y no se parece nada a los crueles y brutales dragones que se la llevaron, reclamando que era uno de los suyos. Para poder rescatar a su hermana, Anders tendrá que alistarse en la Academia Ulfar para lobos, donde la lealtad a la manada está por encima de todo. Pero para Anders, la lealtad no es obediencia ciega y la amistad es la fuerza más poderosa.
