New Releases by Catherynne M. Valente

From deep beneath the surface of Azeroth, a mysterious voice cries out for heroes. But before these brave souls heed the call, they must answer to their own voices within . . . . * Anduin's wanderings at last lead him to the solitude he seeks, until his peace is shattered in a heartrending tale by Christie Golden. * Andrew Robinson takes Gazlowe to a struggling goblin city, where he aims to inspire its citizens to more worthy ambitions. * Thrall grapples with his son's coming of age in a heartfelt story by Jonathan Maberry about what it means to love and let go. * Delilah Dawson gives voice to Alleria Windrunner, desperate to connect with her son in a tense, bittersweet journey home. These tales--besides more from Catherynne M. Valente and Courtney Alameda--portray the poignant, introspective moments set to proceed World of Warcraft's highly anticipated The War Within expansion. As these larger-than-life heroes grapple with their next steps, a greater threat looms, one that will lead them to raise arms again to fight for the fate of Azeroth. Despite the chasm of varied backgrounds, allegiances, and choices that divide them, these tales prove that even in the darkest times, home unites us all.

Now, the vaults are open.

Explore the world of Minecraft inside and out with this boxed set collecting three official novels: The Crash, The Lost Journals, and The End! Minecraft: The Crash When Bianca and her best friend Lonnie are in a terrible accident, she's hospitalized and faced with questions she's not equipped to answer. She chooses instead to try a new virtual reality version of Minecraft that gives her control over a world at the very moment she thought she'd lost it. As she plays, she realizes that Lonnie is somewhere in here too. She encounters Esme and Anton, two kids who are also playing on the hospital server, and teams up with them to play through to the End—and hopefully to find Lonnie and bring him back to reality. Minecraft: The Lost Journals Allison and Max must team up to find his missing uncle Nicholas. Using the journal his beloved uncle left behind as a guide, the duo hurtle headlong into a treacherous and unknown landscape called the Nether. There, they meet a strange girl named Freya and her woefully unheroic wolf, Bunny Biter, who agree to help them in their quest. The group must take on dangerous new foes and unravel the cryptic journal to find Nicholas and reunite this fractured family. Minecraft: The End For as long as they can remember, the twin endermen Fin and Mo have lived in the mysterious land of the End. They know everything there is to know about their world—or so they think until the strangers from another dimension arrive. The invaders are called humans, and they’ve come to steal artifacts and slay the ender dragon. Caught off guard, the twins are trapped in the middle of a war between the endermen and the humans, with the future of their home at stake.

When his mother accidentally kills a Quidhunk in the woods, Osmo Unknown must embark on a quest to find the Eightpenny Woods--the mysterious kingdom where all wild forest creatures go when they die--and make amends.

Román odehrávající se ve světě hry Mass Effect zachycuje boj posádky kolonizační lodi s neznámým virem. Keelah Si'yah, kvarianská loď, jejíž jméno v překladu znamená cosi jako "při domovině, kterou snad jednoho dne najdu," pluje pokojně vesmírem ke svému cíli v galaxii Andromeda. Skoro až příliš pokojně na to, že loď poskytuje dočasný domov zástupcům mnoha nesourodých ras kolonistů. Je tedy překvapením, když začnou jednotliví kolonisté v kryospánku umírat? Když probuzená posádka objeví prvních 400 mrtvých drellů, dá se to svést na Kepralský syndrom. Když ale začnou umírat i zástupci ostatních, biologicky nekompatibilních ras, je jasné, že něco není v pořádku. Lodní systémy začínají jeden po druhém selhávat a přeživší posádka musí najít pachatele dřív, než smrtící patogen ukončí i jejich životy.

È sempre buio nell'End. L'alba non esiste. Il tramonto non esiste. Le lancette degli orologi sono immobili. Questo non significa che non esista il tempo. O la luce. Fin e Mo, fratello e sorella, sono gemelli. A dire il vero Fin è tre minuti più vecchio, ma evita di farlo pesare. Una considerazione del genere è troppo precisa, sa troppo di Ordine: nell'End l'Ordine non è il benvenuto. Ed è proprio qui che i gemelli hanno sempre vissuto, a bordo di una nave stracolma di cianfrusaglie, in compagnia di uno scorbutico shulker, Grumpo, e con un Enderman dagli occhi verdi come unico amico. Anche Fin e Mo sono Endermen. Sono cresciuti da soli, senza genitori, facendo i cercarottami nei misteriosi territori dominati dallo sguardo vigile del drago dell'End. Eppure, nonostante le difficoltà, sono soddisfatti di ciò che hanno. Tutto vacilla quando inizia l'invasione. Gli uomini, terribili creature del mondo principale, dilagano nell'End per saccheggiare, distruggere e uccidere il drago. Gli Endermen si preparano alla guerra e i gemelli sono pronti a combattere, ma quando si troveranno davanti al nemico scopriranno una verità sconvolgente. In un'epica battaglia per la sopravvivenza, chi è davvero il nemico? Un inaspettato cambio di prospettiva per il più originale tra i romanzi di Minecraft.

Un roman officiel MINECRAFT ! D'aussi loin qu'ils se souviennent, Fin et Mo, frère et soeur Endermen, ont toujours vécu dans la contrée de l'End.

Ils connaissent tous les secrets de leur monde, et ils ne manquent de rien dans le navire de l'End dans lequel ils ont élu domicile. Du moins, c'est ce qu'ils pensaient, avant l'arrivée d'étrangers provenant d'une autre dimension. Ces envahisseurs, des humains en quête d'artefacts, débarquent avec l'intention de terrasser l'Ender Dragon. Fin et Mo vont se retrouver propulsés au milieu d'un conflit qui les dépasse, mais savent que le destin de leur monde est en jeu. Il fait toujours nuit dans l'End. Il n'y a pas de lever de soleil. Ni de crépuscule. C'est un lieu magnifique. Et il est loin d'être vide.

September is accidentally crowned Queen of Fairyland. When others come forward with valid claims to the throne, a Royal Race is organized and whoever wins will seize the crown.

A New York Times bestselling author offers a brilliant reinvention of one of the best-known fairy tales of all time with Snow White as a gunslinger in the mythical Wild West. Forget the dark, enchanted forest. Picture instead a masterfully evoked Old West where you are more likely to find coyotes as the seven dwarves. Insert into this scene a plain-spoken, appealing narrator who relates the history of our heroine’s parents—a Nevada silver baron who forced the Crow people to give up one of their most beautiful daughters, Gun That Sings, in marriage to him. Although her mother’s life ended as hers began, so begins a remarkable tale: equal parts heartbreak and strength. This girl has been born into a world with no place for a half-native, half-white child. After being hidden for years, a very wicked stepmother finally gifts her with the name Snow White, referring to the pale skin she will never have. Filled with fascinating glimpses through the fabled looking glass and a close-up look at hard living in the gritty gun-slinging West, this is an utterly enchanting story…at once familiar and entirely new.

"Severin Unck's father is a famous director of Gothic romances in an alternate 1986 in which talking movies are still a daring innovation due to the patent-hoarding Edison family. Rebelling against her father's films of passion, intrigue, and spirits from beyond, Severin starts making documentaries, traveling through space and investigating the levitator cults of Neptune and the lawless saloons of Mars. For this is not our solar system, but one drawn from classic science fiction, in which all the planets are inhabited and we travel through space on beautiful rockets. Severin is a realist in a fantastic universe"--Dust jacket flap.
