New Releases by Kami Garcia

Der er undergangsstemning i ellers så idylliske Gatlin. Magtbalancen mellem mørke og lys blev ødelagt, efter at Lena nægtede at vælge side, og nu begynder konsekvenserne: Sindssyge hedebølger, ødelæggende storme og græshoppesværme hærger byen, og folk fabler om jordens undergang. Selv de stærkeste castere i Lenas familie oplever, at deres evner bliver påvirket, og det går op for Ethan og Lena, at deres kærlighed har sat gang i et kaos, der er hævet over liv og død. Som tiden går træder ét spørgsmål tydeligere og tydeligere frem: Hvad – eller hvem – må ofres for at redde Gatlin? Samtidig sker der mærkelige ting med Ethan. Pludselig skriver han med venstre hånd og afskyr mad, han ellers elskede. Endnu værre er, at han begynder at glemme ting – navne, telefonnumre og endda begivenheder i fortiden. Det er, som om hans sind er ved at forandre sig. Han ved ikke hvorfor og er også virkelig bange for at finde ud af det. Han hører hele tiden en indre stemme blive ved med at sige: "Jeg venter." Hvem er det, der venter på Ethan, og hvorfor? Nogle gange er der ikke kun ét svar og ét valg. Og nogle gange – denne gang – er der ikke nogen lykkelig slutning.

Ethan wist zeker dat er in Gatlin nooit iets gebeurde. Tot hij Lena ontmoette, die hem een wereld toonde die al die tijd verborgen was gebleven. Een Gatlin dat eeuwenoude geheimen herbergde, onder de met mos bedekte bomen en afgebrokkelde trottoirs. Samen kunnen ze alles aan, maar na een tragisch sterfgeval begint Lena afstand te nemen van Ethan. Ze houdt geheimen achter die hun relatie ernstig op de proef stellen. En nu Ethan openstaat voor de duistere kant van het stadje en opgejaagd wordt door visioenen die alleen hij kan zien, is er geen weg meer terug.

Ethan Wate nunca imaginó que llegaría a conocer a Lena Duchannes, literalmente, la chica de sus sueños. Cuando por fin Ethan deja atrás los escalofriantes acontecimientos relatados en Hermoso caos, tiene solo un objetivo: volver al lado de Lena y de todos a los que quiere. Mientras tanto, Lena está haciendo lo imposible para propiciar el regreso de Ethan, aunque eso suponga tener que confiar en sus antiguos enemigos o arriesgar las vidas de aquellos por los que él se sacrificó. Una vez más, y esta es la definitiva, Ethan y Lena tendrán que reescribir su destino. www.hermosascriaturas.com

Ethan tæller ned til den dag, hvor han afslutter Jackson High og kan flytte langt væk fra Gatlin, for én ting er sikkert: Der sker aldrig noget nyt i den lille, fordomsfulde sydstatsflække. Hans mor er for nyligt død i en ulykke, og hans far har buret sig inde på sit kontor i sorg, så hvad skulle holde ham tilbage? På det seneste er Ethan begyndt at have mærkelige drømme om en pige, han aldrig har mødt. Det er blevet en besættelse for ham, og han føler sig både forelsket og lettere sindssyg på en gang. Da skoleåret starter, og den smukke Lena Duchannes dukker op, bliver pigen fra hans drømme pludselig lyslevende. Lena er befriende anderledes end alle piger på Jackson High, men også skræmmende. Hun bor hos sin onkel, den besynderlige eneboer Macon Ravenwood, i byens ældste ejendom – spøgelseshuset – og hun er fra første dag dømt ude af det lille samfund. Ethan mærker øjeblikkeligt en stærk forbindelse imellem dem, som han ikke kan forklare eller modstå. De kan læse hinandens tanker og får stærke fortidssyner om en tragisk kærlighed under den amerikanske borgerkrig. Sammen afdækker de en verden i Gatlin, som er langt dybere og farligere, end Ethan i sin vildeste fantasi kunne have forestillet sig. Lena og Ethan er som skabt til hinanden, men der hviler en forbandelse over Lenas skæbne, som vil blive afgjort på hendes sekstenårs fødselsdag – og den nærmer sig. "Giv den her til fans af Stephenie Meyers Twilight [...] eller HBO''s True Blood-serie, og de vil sluge samtlige 600 sider af denne paranormale romance med gotiske træk." – SCHOOL LIBRARY JOURNAL

Sin embargo, cuando regresan a casa, las palabras «extraño» e «imposible» adquieren un nuevo significado.

Liebe noch vor dem ersten Blick ... Schon bevor Ethan sie zum ersten Mal gesehen hat, hat sie ihn in seinen Träumen verfolgt: Lena, die Neue an Ethans Schule. Lena, das Mädchen mit dem schwarzen Haar und den grünen Augen. Lena, die in Ravenwood wohnt, der verrufenen alten Plantage, von der sich alle in Gatlin fernhalten - alle ausser Ethan. Lena, in die Ethan sich unsterblich verliebt. Doch Lena umgibt ein Fluch, den sie mit aller Kraft geheim zu halten versucht: Sie ist eine Caster, sie entstammt einer Familie von Hexen, und an ihrem sechzehnten Geburtstag soll sie berufen werden. Dann wird sich entscheiden, ob Lena eine helle oder eine dunkle Hexe wird ... Ethan aber weiss: Auch ihm bleibt keine Wahl - ihm ist vorherbestimmt, Lena für immer zu lieben. Aber wird er bei ihr bleiben können, gleich, welcher Seite sie künftig angehört? ''The Legion - Der Kreis der Fünf'' ist Kami Garcias neuer Roman. Vorher hat sie zusammen mit Margaret Stohl die Romanserie ''Sixteen Moons - Eine unsterbliche Liebe'' geschrieben. Die Bücher stürmten die internationalen Bestsellerlisten, erhielten zahlreiche Preise, und inzwischen wurde ''Sixteen Moons'' unter dem Titel ''Beautiful Creatures - Eine unsterbliche Liebe'' von Hollywoodregisseur Richard LaGravanese verfilmt. Kami lebt mit ihrer Familien im kalifornischen Los Angeles.

The third book in the New York Times bestselling series, perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Maggie Stiefvater! Ethan Wate thought he was getting used to the strange, impossible events happening in Gatlin, his small Southern town. But now that Ethan and Lena have returned home from the Great Barrier, strange and impossible have taken on new meanings. Swarms of locusts, record-breaking heat, and devastating storms ravage Gatlin as Ethan and Lena struggle to understand the impact of Lena''s Claiming. Even Lena''s family of powerful Supernaturals is affected -- and their abilities begin to dangerously misfire. As time passes, one question becomes clear: What -- or who -- will need to be sacrificed to save Gatlin? For Ethan, the chaos is a frightening but welcome distraction. He''s being haunted in his dreams again, but this time it''s not Lena -- and the mysterious figure is following him out of his dreams and into his everyday life. Worse, Ethan is gradually losing pieces of himself -- forgetting names, phone numbers, even memories. He doesn''t know why, and he''s afraid to ask. Sometimes there''s no going back. And this time there won''t be a happy ending.
