O clássico do Universo YA em uma nova edição Em um país dividido pela Dobra das Sombras – uma faixa de terra povoada por monstros sombrios – e no qual a corte real está repleta de pessoas com poderes mágicos, Alina Starkov pode se considerar uma garota comum. Seus dias consistem em trabalhar como cartógrafa no Exército e em tentar esconder de seu melhor amigo, Maly, o que sente por ele. Quando Maly é gravemente ferido por um dos monstros que vivem na Dobra, Alina, desesperada, descobre que é muito mais forte do que pensava: ela é consegue invocar o poder da luz, a única coisa capaz de acabar com a Dobra das Sombras e reunificar Ravka de uma vez por todas. Por conta disso, Alina é enviada ao Palácio para ser treinada como parte de um grupo de guerreiros com habilidades extraordinárias, os Grishas. Sob os cuidados do Darkling, o Grisha mais poderoso de todos, Alina terá que aprender a lidar com seus novos poderes, navegar pelas perigosas intrigas da corte e sobreviver a ameaças vindas de todos os lados. *** "A trilogia Grisha faz uma releitura, brilhante e com ares épicos, da história russa; é a junção de Anna Kariênina com magia. [...] Bardugo cria uma aventura de primeira linha, com romance envolvente e um mistério intrigante!" – RICK RIORDAN "Diferente de tudo o que já li." – VERONICA ROTH

"Non sarà sempre così" dissi a me stessa. "Più tempo passerai da libera, più diventerà facile." Un giorno mi sarei svegliata da un sonno senza incubi, avrei camminato per strada senza timore. Fino a quel momento, mi tenevo stretta il mio pugnale sottile, desiderando sentire il peso sicuro dell''acciaio Grisha nella mano. Ricercata per tutto il Mare Vero, perseguitata dal senso di colpa per le vite spezzate a causa sua nella Faglia d''Ombra, Alina, la potente Evocaluce, sta cercando di ricostruirsi una vita con Mal in una terra dove nessuno è a conoscenza della sua vera identità. Tuttavia, questo dovrebbe averlo imparato, non si può sfuggire al proprio passato. Né, soprattutto, ci si può sottrarre per sempre al proprio destino. L''Oscuro infatti, che non solo è sopravvissuto alla Faglia d''Ombra ma ha acquisito anche un terrificante nuovo potere, è più determinato che mai a reclamare per sé il controllo della Grisha ribelle e a usarla per impossessarsi del trono di Ravka. Non sapendo a chi altri rivolgersi, Alina accetta l''aiuto di un alleato imprevedibile. Insieme a lui e a Mal combatterà per difendere il suo paese che, in balia della Faglia d''Ombra, di un re debole e di tiranni rapaci, sta andando rapidamente in pezzi. Per riuscirci, però, l''Evocaluce dovrà scegliere tra l''esercizio del potere e l''amore che pensava sarebbe stato sempre il suo porto sicuro. Solo lei infatti può affrontare l''imminente tempesta che sta per abbattersi su Ravka e nessuna vittoria può essere guadagnata senza sacrificio. Finché l''Oscuro vivrà - questo Alina lo sa bene - non esisterà libertà per il suo paese. Né per lei. Forse, dopo tanti tentennamenti, è infine giunto il momento di smettere di scappare e di avere paura. Costi quel che costi.

Z Aliny Starkové se stala světlonoška. Jenže cena, kterou za to platí, je vysoká. Temnyj je víc než kdy předtím odhodlaný využít jejích schopností k získání trůnu. Alina se snaží jeho nástrahám vzdorovat, přesto se do nich zaplétá a vzdaluje se od lásky, v níž až doteď hledala své útočiště. Alina cítí, že jestli chce Ravku zachránit, bude si muset vybrat. Ponechá si svoji výjimečnou moc a zachrání zemi, nebo se jí vzdá, a zvolí lásku?

Ravka byla kdysi mocná země, ale nyní je zpustošena válkami, obklopena nepřáteli a všude panuje strach. Když je regiment Aliny Starkové napaden a jejímu nejlepšímu kamarádovi hrozí smrt, odhaluje v sobě Alina skrytou sílu. Sílu, která by mohla být klíčem k osvobození rozvrácené země. Opouští tak svět, který znala, aby se stala grišou – příslušnicí mocného řádu kouzelníků, kterému vládne záhadný Temnyj. Jenže v tomhle světě nic není, jak se zdá...

Temnyj ovládl Ravku a osud celé země tak leží v rukou zlomené světlonošky, zneuctěného stopaře a pozůstalých členů kdysi úctyhodné magické armády. Oslabená Alina se vydává po stopách nepolapitelného ptáka ohně a doufá, že cestou najde vyděděného prince. Alina bude muset uzavřít nová příměří. Jakmile však začne odkrývat Temnyjova tajemství, odhalí se jí pravda, která změní všechno, co si doposud myslela o jejich poutu a moci, jíž oplývá.

"Criada nos arredores de Los Angeles por sua mãe hippie, Galaxy "Alex" Stern abandonou a escola cedo e se envolveu no perigoso submundo das drogas, entre namorados traficantes e empregos fracassados. Além de tudo isso, aos vinte anos ela é a única sobrevivente de um massacre terrível, para o qual a polícia ainda não encontrou qualquer explicação. Alguns podem dizer que Alex jogou sua vida fora. No entanto, a garota acaba recebendo uma proposta inusitada: frequentar Yale, uma das universidades de maior prestígio do mundo... e com uma bolsa integral. Alex é a caloura mais improvável de uma instituição como essa. Por que logo ela? Ainda em busca de respostas, Alex chega a New Haven encarregada por seus misteriosos benfeitores de monitorar as atividades das sociedades secretas de Yale. Suas oito tumbas sem janelas são os locais mais frequentados pelos ricos e poderosos, desde políticos de alto escalão até os maiores magnatas de Wall Street. Alex descobrirá que as suas atividades ocultas nesses lugares são mais sinistras e extraordinárias do que qualquer imaginação paranoica poderia imaginar. Eles mexem com magia negra. Eles ressuscitam os mortos. E, às vezes, eles atormentam os vivos. "Nona Casa é o melhor romance de fantasia que li em anos, porque é sobre pessoas reais. O alcance imaginativo de Bardugo é brilhante , e essa história, cheia de choques e reviravoltas, é impossível de largar." – Stephen King"

»Den bästa fantasyroman jag läst på åratal. Omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig.« Stephen King »Oerhört spännande och beroendeframkallande.« Lacrimamens »Mörk magisk realism med inslag av mord och mysterier. Går knappt att sluta läsa.« Bokkoll Galaxy »Alex« Stern växte upp i utkanten av Los Angeles med sin hippiemamma, upptäckte tidigt att hon hade en förmåga att se övernaturliga väsen, hoppade av grundskolan utan fullständiga betyg och trädde in i en skum värld av droger och missbruk. Tjugo år gammal, som enda överlevande efter ett blodigt morddrama, får hon vid sjukhussängen plötsligt en andra chans: Att börja studera vid Yale, ett av världens mest prestigefulla elituniversitet, med alla avgifter betalda. Men vad är haken? Varför just hon? När Alex anländer till Yale får hon i uppgift att bli övervakare av universitetets åtta hemliga sällskap och deras egendomliga ritualer, en uppgift som ett av sällskapen, Lethe, ansvarar för. Tanken är att Alex ska bli upplärd av sin handledare, Darlington. Men när en ung kvinna hittas död på universitetsområdet samma kväll som sällskapen utför sina magiska ritualer har Darlington försvunnit i ett mörkt hål, och Alex står ensam kvar. Hon är övertygad om att det finns ett samband mellan mordet och de hemliga sällskapen. För hon vet nu att de ägnar sig åt långt märkligare och mer skrämmande saker än vad någon kunnat föreställa sig... LEIGH BARDUGO [f. 1975] är en amerikansk författare. Hon fick sitt genombrott med Grisha-trilogin som har sålt i över 3 miljoner exemplar världen över. Det nionde sällskapet är den första boken i Leigh Bardugos nya serie om Alex Stern. »Jag var helt fast.« Betyg: 5 av 5 Emmas krypin »Mörk, intressant och en riktig bladvändare. En solklar fempoängare!« Diddis boktips »En förtrollande och samtidigt helt övertygande berättelse.« Kirkus Reviews

Alex Sternová není zrovna typickou adeptkou pro studium na Yale. Právě naopak – bezcílně se potácí světem drog, ubíjejících zaměstnání a špatných rozhodnutí. Přesto dostane druhou šanci: stipendium na této prestižní univerzitě. V čem je háček? Během studia musí monitorovat podivnou činnost yaleských tajných spolků, z nichž vzešli nejvlivnější lidé světa. Jenže brzy se ukáže, že jejich okultní aktivity jsou trochu silná káva i pro ty nejotrlejší...

Alex Stern, die geesten kan zien, wordt ingeschakeld om de geheime genootschappen van de universiteit van Yale in de gaten te houden.

Jesper non smetteva un attimo di tamburellare le dita sulle cosce. «Qualcuno ha per caso notato che l''intera città ci cerca, ce l''ha con noi o vuole farci fuori?» «E allora?» disse Kaz. «Be'', di solito è solo metà della città.» Kaz Brekker e la sua banda di disperati hanno appena portato a termine una missione dalla quale sembrava impossibile tornare sani e salvi. Ne avevano dubitato persino loro, a dirla proprio tutta. Ma rientrati a Ketterdam, non hanno il tempo di annoiarsi nemmeno un istante perché sono costretti a rimettere di nuovo tutto in discussione, e a giocarsi ogni cosa, vita compresa. Questa volta, però, traditi e indeboliti, dovranno prendere parte a una vera e propria guerra per le buie e tortuose strade della città contro un nemico potente, insidioso e dalle tante facce. A Ketterdam, infatti, si sono radunate vecchie e nuove conoscenze di Kaz e dei suoi, pronte a sfidare l''abilità di Manisporche e la lealtà dei compagni. Ma se i sei fuorilegge hanno una certezza è questa: dopo tutte le fughe rocambolesche, gli scampati pericoli, le sofferenze e le inevitabili batoste che hanno dovuto affrontare insieme, troveranno comunque il modo di rimanere in piedi. E forse di vincerla, in qualche modo, questa guerra, grazie alle rivoltelle di Jesper, al cervellone di Kaz, alla verve di Nina, all''abilità di Inej, al genio di Wylan e alla forza di Matthias. Una guerra che per loro significa una possibilità di vendetta e redenzione e che sarà decisiva per il destino del mondo Grisha.

"The best fantasy novel I’ve read in years, because it’s about real people... Impossible to put down." —Stephen King Enter a mesmerizing world of power, privilege, and dark magic among the Ivy League elite in the first book in the Alex Stern series. Goodreads Choice Award Winner Locus Finalist Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her? Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight windowless “tombs” are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living. Don''t miss the highly-anticipated sequel, Hell Bent.

A Ketterdam, vivace centro di scambi commerciali internazionali, non c''è niente che non possa essere comprato e nessuno lo sa meglio di Kaz Brekker, cresciuto nei vicoli bui e dannati del Barile, la zona più malfamata della città, un ricettacolo di sporcizia, vizi e violenza. Kaz, detto anche Manisporche, è un ladro spietato, bugiardo e senza un grammo di coscienza che si muove con disinvoltura tra bische clandestine, traffici illeciti e bordelli, con indosso gli immancabili guanti di pelle nera e un bastone decorato con una testa di corvo. Uno che, nonostante la giovane età, tutti hanno imparato a temere e rispettare. Un giorno Brekker viene avvicinato da uno dei più ricchi e potenti mercanti della città e gli viene offerta una ricompensa esorbitante a patto che riesca a liberare lo scienziato Bo Yul-Bayur dalla leggendaria Corte di Ghiaccio, una fortezza considerata da tutti inespugnabile. Una missione impossibile che Kaz non è in grado di affrontare da solo. Assoldati i cinque compagni di avventura - un detenuto con sete di vendetta, un tiratore scelto col vizio del gioco, uno scappato di casa con un passato da privilegiato, una spia che tutti chiamano lo "Spettro", una ragazza dotata di poteri magici -, ladri e delinquenti con capacità fuori dal comune e così disperati da non tirarsi indietro nemmeno davanti alla possibilità concreta di non fare più ritorno a casa, Kaz è pronto a tentare l''ambizioso quanto azzardato colpo. Per riuscirci, però, lui e i suoi compagni dovranno imparare a lavorare in squadra e a fidarsi l''uno dell''altro, perché il loro potenziale può sì condurli a compiere grandi cose, ma anche provocare grossi danni... Finalmente arriva in Italia il primo romanzo della duologia che ha consacrato Leigh Bardugo come una delle voci più talentuose e autorevoli della narrativa fantasy. Una serie ambientata in un mondo articolato e straordinario, il GrishaVerse, dove si muovono personaggi sapientemente costruiti e sfaccettati. Una storia avventurosa ricca di colpi di scena che vi mancherà nell''istante stesso in cui avrete letto l''ultima pagina.

Na oslabených hranicích Ravky se shromažďují nepřátelé. Král Nikolaj Lantsov by měl dokázat nemožné – naplnit prázdné pokladnice, získat spojence a zastavit zkázu, která zemi hrozí. V jeho nitru však den ode dne sílí démon, který může zničit vše, co už mladý panovník vybudoval. Nikolaj a větrostrůjkyně Zoja se proto vydávají na riskantní cestu. Podaří se jim najít lék na královu tajemnou chorobu? Pokud ne, hrozí, že Ravka padne.
