New Releases by Margaret Stohl

A série Beautiful creatures é um fenômeno editorial: por semanas nas listas de mais vendidos, inclusive na do New York Times, o primeiro volume, Dezesseis luas, foi eleito o melhor romance de 2009 pela Amazon. E em 2013 a Disney lançou uma superprodução baseada no primeiro livro da série. Nesse novo romance, Ridley perdeu seus poderes, Link é um Incubus e as habilidades da família de Lena não andam muito acuradas. Nuvens de gafanhotos devoram todo o verde de Gatlin. Um calor sufocante deixa a grama marrom e os humores negros. Raios riscam o céu e tempestades assustam os animais. O equilíbrio está quebrado. Aparentemente, ao se Invocar Lena pode ter dado o pontapé inicial no Apocalipse. "Esta série ricamente tecida tem todos os elementos de um bem sucedido romance gótico sobrenatural... A ambiguidade do bem contra o mal acrescenta atraente complexidade... fãs do gênero vão adorar." VOYA

Em Dezesseis luas não há vampiros, nem tampouco lobisomens. Anjos também não aparecem no enredo. Mas não falta aventura e romance. Ou outros personagens fabulosos, como bruxas, espíritos e zumbis. E uma certa atmosfera gótica ronda a obra. Na pequena Gatlin, com sabor à Nova Orleans, uma mágica poderosa e adormecida está prestes a ser libertada. E com a ajuda de dois adolescentes: Ethan Wate e Lena Duchaness. Ethan é um menino comum, mas à noite começa a sonhar com uma menina de olhos verdes a quem tenta salvar desesperadamente. Quando Lena chega à cidade ele não tem dúvida, ela é a menina dos seus sonhos. O que se segue é uma história de almas gêmeas e segredos perigosos e obscuros. E Lena e Ethan precisam confiar um no outro para que possam vencer uma maldição com poder para acabar com tudo à sua volta. Será que eles vão conseguir? Eleito um dos melhores livros de 2009 pela Amazon, por semanas na lista do New York Times. E traduzido para 28 idiomas, best seller na França. Em 2013 Dezesseis luas ganhou uma superprodução da Disney. "Pacote completo: um cenário assustador, uma maldição fatal, reencarnação, feitiços, bruxaria, vudu e personagens que simplesmente prenderão o leitor até o fim... Quem poderia pedir por mais? Uma continuação? Por favor!" VOYA "Segue a tradição gótica de Anne Rice." School Library Journal

Ethan Wate, un lycéen, vit depuis toujours dans une petite ville de Caroline du Sud, une ville tranquille, sans histoire... et à vrai dire ennuyeuse ! Il rêve de partir loin de tout ça, de voyager, de voir d''autres horizons. Mais l''arrivée de Lenna Duchannes dans le manoir reculé de Ravenwood va changer toute sa vie ! Car Lena, 16 ans, appartient à une famille d''enchanteurs et elle devra bientôt affronter la malédiction qui hante sa famille depuis des générations. Ce roman graphique est une adaptation du roman Beautiful Creatures, publié en France sous le titre 16 Lunes (paru chez Hachette Jeunesse dans la collection Black Moon). Cette saga fantastique de Kami Garcia et Margaret Stohl a atteint plus de 350 000 exemplaires vendus en France.

J''ai longtemps rêvé de cette fille. Elle apparaissait dans un cauchemar où, malgré tous mes efforts, elle tombait sans que je ne puisse la sauver. Je me savais lié à elle d''une façon particulière. Et puis un jour, elle est arrivée en chair et en os au lycée de Gatlin, notre petite bourgade du Sud des Etats-Unis. Elle était belle et mystérieuse. Si j''avais su qu''en même temps que cette fille, dont j''allais tomber éperdument amoureux, surgirait aussi une malédiction... L''amour sera-t-il plus fort que le destin ?

There were no surprises in Gatlin County. At least, that''s what I thought. Turns out, I couldn''t have been more wrong. Ethan Wate used to think of Gatlin, the small Southern town he had always called home, as a place where nothing ever changed. Then he met mysterious newcomer Lena Duchannes, who revealed a secret world where a curse has marked Lena''s family of powerful Supernaturals for generations. Mysterious, suspenseful, and romantic, Beautiful Creatures, Beautiful Darkness, and Beautiful Chaos introduce a secret world hidden in plain sight. A world where impossible, magical, life-altering events happen. Sometimes life-ending. This stunning paperback set makes the perfect gift for fans of this bestselling Southern gothic romance.

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

Au lendemain des terribles événements de la Dix-huitième Lune, Ethan n’a plus qu’une idée en tête : trouver le moyen de retourner auprès de Lena et de ceux qu’il aime. De retour à Gatlin, Lena fait quant à elle le serment de tenter l’impossible pour aider Ethan à revenir. Même si, pour cela, elle doit pactiser avec ses ennemis de toujours. Dans ce final renversant de la saga « 16 Lunes », Ethan et Lena devront une fois de plus lutter pour leur amour et écrire leur propre destin. La mort sera-t-elle la fin... ou le commencement ?

The stunning conclusion to the New York Times bestselling series, perfect for fans of Cassandra Clare and Maggie Stiefvater! Is death the end . . . or only the beginning? Ethan Wate has spent most of his life longing to escape the stiflingly small Southern town of Gatlin. He never thought he would meet the girl of his dreams, Lena Duchannes, who unveiled a secretive, powerful, and cursed side of Gatlin, hidden in plain sight. And he never could have expected that he would be forced to leave behind everyone and everything he cares about. So when Ethan awakes after the chilling events of the Eighteenth Moon, he has only one goal: to find a way to return to Lena and the ones he loves. Back in Gatlin, Lena is making her own bargains for Ethan''s return, vowing to do whatever it takes -- even if that means trusting old enemies or risking the lives of the family and friends Ethan left to protect. Worlds apart, Ethan and Lena must once again work together to rewrite their fate, in this stunning finale to the Beautiful Creatures series.

Ethan y Lena pensaban que ya se habían acostumbrado a los acontecimientos extraños e imposibles que ocurrían en su Gatlin natal. Sin embargo, cuando regresan a casa, las palabras «extraño» e «imposible» adquieren un nuevo significado. Plagas de langosta, oleadas de calor y devastadoras tormentas asolan la ciudad y, a medida que pasa el tiempo, cada vez resulta más evidente que algo, o alguien, deberá sacrificarse por Gatlin... Pero ¿quién? En muchos momentos, no hay sólo una respuesta o un camino. En ocasiones, tampoco hay vuelta atrás. Y esta vez tampoco habrá un final feliz. Hermoso caos es la primera novela de las autoras, la tercera de la saga de las dieciséis lunas. Las anteriores son: Hermosas criaturas y Hermosa oscuridad. «Una de las series con más gancho entre los jóvenes as cosa [...]. Las autoras saben cómo hacer la lectura atractiva». Qué leer «Entretenida, llena de magia y con un final que no deja indiferente. Las autoras han sabido crear un lugar donde nada es lo que parece». Fantasymundo «Los lectores se verán absorbidos por una tenebrosa y cuidada atmósfera, por el relato y la crítica de la vida sureña y por un completo y profundo universo fantástico». Publisher’s Weekly «Algo completamente diferente... A los jóvenes les encantará: romance, magia, tormentos y la promesa de mucho más por venir». Booklist

Credevo che il nostro paesino, sepolto nella boscaglia della Carolina del Sud, fosse il centro del nulla. Un luogo dove non succedeva mai niente e in cui niente sarebbe mai cambiato. Poi mi innamorai di una Maga...

Manche Geheimnisse verändern dein Leben. Andere bringen es in Gefahr... Früher dachte ich, in unserer Stadt würde sich nie etwas verändern. Jetzt weiss ich es besser, und ich wünschte, ich hätte damals recht gehabt. Denn seit ich mich in Lena, das Caster-Mädchen, verliebt habe, sind alle Menschen, die mir etwas bedeuten, in Gefahr. Wir dachten, Lena sei die Einzige, auf der ein Fluch liegt, aber da haben wir uns geirrt. Ihr Fluch ist jetzt unser Fluch ... Seit ihrem sechzehnten Geburtstag - der schicksalhaften Nacht, in der sie ihren Freund Ethan ins Leben zurückholte und darüber ihren Onkel Macon verlor -, zieht Lena sich mehr und mehr von allen zurück. So gross ist ihr Schmerz, dass die dunkle Seite die Oberhand über sie zu gewinnen scheint. Da taucht der geheimnisvolle, attraktive John Breed auf. Mit seinem Versprechen einer fernen paradiesischen Caster-Welt zieht er Lena sosehr in den Bann, dass sie alles aufgibt - auch Ethan. Ethan weiss: Will er Lena nicht für immer an die dunkle Seite verlieren, muss er sie aus dem unterirdischen Caster-Labyrinth herausholen. Aber ist er wirklich dazu ausersehen, ihr in die gefährlichen Tunnel zu folgen, die seit Jahrhunderten Platz der dunklen Magie sind und die kein Sterblicher betreten darf? ''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.

Manche Entscheidungen sind schwierig. Andere können dich das Leben kosten ... "Dieser Sommer hatte alles verändert. Und auch wenn die Leute in Gatlin es nicht hören wollten: Die Veränderungen waren überall spürbar, sowohl in der normalen, als auch in der Caster-Welt ..." Seit Lena sich an ihrem siebzehnten Mond selbst berufen hat, Licht und Dunkel zugleich zu sein, ist die Welt aus den Fugen geraten. Eine nie gekannte Hitzewelle drückt Gatlin nieder, gewaltige Stürme ziehen übers Land, und alles erscheint im Umbruch begriffen. Dennoch ist Ethan glücklich, denn er hat Lena wieder, und ihre Liebe wächst von Tag zu Tag. Doch in seinen Träumen wird er von einem geheimnisvollen Wesen verfolgt, dessen Natur weder er noch seine Caster-Freunde kennen. Je weiter Ethan sein Geheimnis entschlüsselt, desto klarer wird ihm: Diesmal ist er es, von dessen Handeln das Geschick der Welt abhängt. Und diesmal ist es eine Entscheidung über Leben oder Tod ...

Entourés de Link, l''Incube nouveau venu, et de Ridley, la Sirène déchue, Ethan et Lena vont vivre une nouvelle année de rêves et de cauchemars. Entre malédiction et trahisons, le choix de l''amour est-il encore possible?

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.
