New Releases by N. K. Jemisin

Green Lantern Sojourner "Jo" Mullein must investigate a murder in the City Enduring, while navigating its three races'' rocky history and current coexistence at the edge of the Universe.

TAKTO VYZERÁ KONIEC SVETA... TEN POSLEDNÝ. Obdobie konca je čoraz temnejšie a na civilizáciu sa znáša dlhá chladná noc. Essun – kedysi Damaya, potom Syenit, teraz pomstiteľka – našla útočisko, ale nie svoju dcéru. Namiesto toho sa znova stretla s Alabasterom Desaťprsteňovým, šialencom, ničiteľom sveta, spasiteľom, ktorý má pre ňu novú misiu. Ak však Essun urobí, čo žiada, navždy spečatí osud Nehybnosti. Jej dcéra Nessun sa stáva čoraz mocnejšou a hrozí, že jej rozhodnutia nakoniec zlomia svet.

Takto sa skončí svet... Naposledy. V jediný deň sa udejú tri strašné veci. Essun, obyčajná žena z malého mesta, sa vráti domov a zistí, že jej manžel brutálne zavraždil ich syna a uniesol dcéru. Medzitým padne mocná ríša Sanze, ktorej inovácie boli tisíc rokov základom civilizácie, a väčšina jej obyvateľov umrie pre pomstu šialenca. Najhoršie zo všetkého však je, že sa objavila červená prasklina, ktorá sa tiahne srdcom rozľahlého kontinentu nazývaného Nehybnosť, a chrlí do vzduchu toľko popola, že môže zatemniť oblohu na celé roky. Alebo storočia. Essun sa musí vydať po stopách trosiek svojej rodiny cez smrtonosnú, umierajúcu krajinu. Bez slnečného svetla, čistej vody či ornej pôdy a len s obmedzeným množstvom zásob hrozí Nehybnosti vojna: boj na život a na smrť medzi národmi, no nie o moc alebo územie, ale o základné zdroje potrebné na to, aby prežili dlhú temnú noc. Essun nezáleží na tom, či sa svet okolo nej zrúti. Ak bude musieť, zničí ho aj sama, len aby zachránila svoju dcéru.

No segundo volume da série iniciada por Nós somos a cidade, N.K. Jemisin cria uma narrativa gloriosa sobre identidade, resistência, magia e mito. Nós fazemos o mundo é uma obra-prima da ficção especulativa, escrita por uma das autoras mais brilhantes de sua geração. Na cidade que nunca dorme, as aparências enganam: à primeira vista, é até possível acreditar que tudo vai bem, mas essa não é a verdade. Já faz três meses que Nova York ganhou vida, e os avatares conseguiram impedir que a Mulher de Branco destruísse seu território. Só que, agora, o inimigo tem poderes mais sutis à disposição: a retórica populista da gentrificação, da xenofobia e das medidas para "manter a lei e a ordem" pode destruir a cidade de dentro para fora. Para impedi-la, os avatares terão de se unir a outras Grandes Cidades para salvar o mundo da destruição iminente. Em Nós somos a cidade, N. K. Jemisin apresentou uma narrativa original e dinâmica, mostrando como seus personagens se relacionam com as regiões que representam e interagem com os demais. Em Nós fazemos o mundo, volume que encerra a saga, as histórias de cada avatar são desenvolvidas e articuladas com maestria para que, juntos, eles possam lutar por um bem maior. "Jemisin discute resistência e identidade através da magia e do mito, e cria um mundo engenhoso para abordar preocupações contemporâneas de forma catártica." — TIME "Perfeito para os fãs dos mitos e raízes profundos de Deuses americanos, de Neil Gaiman, para os obcecados por teorias da conspiração sobre política e corrupção, e para qualquer um que ame uma boa aventura em que azarões destemidos dão a volta por cima e triunfam, contrariando todas as expectativas." — Library Journal

Four-time Hugo Award-winning and New York Times bestselling author N.K. Jemisin crafts a glorious tale of identity, resistance, magic and myth. All is not well in the city that never sleeps. Even though the avatars of New York City have temporarily managed to stop the Woman in White from invading—and destroying the entire universe in the process—the mysterious capital "E" Enemy has more subtle powers at her disposal. A new candidate for mayor wielding the populist rhetoric of gentrification, xenophobia, and "law and order" may have what it takes to change the very nature of New York itself and take it down from the inside. In order to defeat him, and the Enemy who holds his purse strings, the avatars will have to join together with the other Great Cities of the world in order to bring her down for good and protect their world from complete destruction. N.K. Jemisin’s Great Cities Duology, which began with The City We Became and concludes with The World We Make, is a masterpiece of speculative fiction from one of the most important writers of her generation. The Great Cities Duology The City We Became The World We Make

Tudo o que Sieh sempre conheceu está prestes a ruir! Em O reino dos deuses, terceiro e último volume da trilogia Legado, acompanhe o deus da infância (e da trapaça) enquanto ele se envolve em tramas que estão longe de ser problemas de criança. A incrível conclusão da série de estreia da aclamada N. K. Jemisin. Sieh é o primeiro dos muitos filhos dos deuses. Mas sempre ocupou uma posição estranha na hierarquia divina: apesar de ser o mais velho, sua natureza é a infância, o que o faz conservar a aparência e o comportamento de uma criança — uma combinação que o torna uma grande e perigosa contradição, até mesmo para si próprio. Depois de dois mil anos almejando a liberdade, agora que enfim a conquistou, Sieh busca dar sentido à própria vida. Perdido, acaba indo revisitar o Céu, palácio da soberana família Arameri que serviu de cativeiro em seu período como escravizado. Lá, percebe que aquela família já não é mais tão soberana assim, e é então que encontra duas crianças que representam o futuro daqueles a quem mais odeia. Shahar e Dekarta são os últimos dos Arameri, e rapidamente se afeiçoam a Sieh, também conhecido como o Trapaceiro, alguém um tanto perverso e rancoroso. Com o equilíbrio do mundo ameaçado e uma nova guerra prestes a eclodir, quais alianças serão mantidas? Quais serão desfeitas? Será o amor ou a vingança que irá prevalecer? E, o mais importante, qual será o preço a se pagar pela paz? "Jemisin, talentosa como sempre, dá foco ao desejo desesperado que gera uma unidade temática à série. Há espaço para sequências, mas nenhuma necessidade." — Publishers Weekly

»Eine großartige Geschichte, angesiedelt in der fantastischsten aller Städte: New York. Sie ist auf die beste Art inklusiv und beinhaltet Elemente von Borges und Lovecraft, doch die einzigartige Stimme ist allein Jemisin.« Neil Gaiman Jede Stadt hat eine Seele. Manche so alt wie die Mythen. Andere so jung und ungestüm wie Kinder. Und New York City? Hat gleich mehr als eine. Gerade erst erwacht und so unterschiedlich, wie das Leben in New York, müssen sich die Wächter der Stadt zusammenschließen, um sie vor dem Grauen zu schützen, das unter ihr lauert. Städte sind lebendig. Sagt man. Doch das ist mehr als nur ein Sprichwort. Wenn eine Stadt erwacht, bestimmt sie jemanden, der sie verkörpert. Aber um New York steht es schlecht. Die Lebendigkeit der Stadt steht auf dem Spiel. Ihr Schicksal liegt in den Händen der Stadtteile und ihrer fünf Wächterinnen. Sie alle sind so unterschiedlich wie nur New York sein kann. Manny löst Probleme Manhattan-Style: mit Geld. In Brooklyn hört eine ehemalige Rapperin den Beat der Stadt. Und die Kuratorin einer Gemeindegalerie beweist, dass sich die Bronx nichts gefallen lässt. Aber was ist mit Queens und Staten Island? Die Lage ist kritisch und die Zeit drängt, denn zerstörerische Kräfte haben damit begonnen, die Stadt zu vergiften. Wenn die Wächterinnen keinen Weg finden, zusammenzuarbeiten, droht nicht nur New York das Schlimmste.

Everything is coming to a boil as we lay the groundwork for the Far Sector finale in this, our penultimate issue! Riots are breaking out across the City Enduring as its citizens realize that there are political shenanigans disrupting their way of life and subverting the will of the people. To quell this unrest, @BlazeofGlory is threatening to unleash a terrible weapon upon her own people. Jo has to race against the ticking clock of a Green Lantern ring that is rapidly losing power to bypass the city’s entire defense forces and stop this attack from above.

Preisgekrönt, hochgelobt und atemraubend spannend: der Abschluss der »Broken Earth«-Trilogie, einer Fantasy-Saga über eine sterbende Welt und den Kampf einer Mutter um ihre Tochter Das Licht des Mondes verschwand vom Kontinent »Die Stille«, nachdem ein flammender Spalt das Land geteilt und den Himmel mit Asche verdunkelt hatte. Nun sagen alle Vorzeichen, dass der Mond bald wieder sichtbar sein wird – doch ob dies die Rettung der Menschheit bedeutet oder ihren Untergang, sagen die Zeichen nicht. Das Schicksal der »Stille« wird von den Entscheidungen zweier Frauen abhängen: Essun, die die Macht ihres Mentors Alabaster Tenring geerbt hat und die Obelisken beherrscht, mit deren Hilfe sie nun endlich ihre Tochter Nassun finden will; und Nassun, die all das Böse in der Welt gesehen und akzeptiert hat, was ihre Mutter Essun nicht zugeben will: Manchmal kann das Böse nicht gereinigt, sondern nur zerstört werden.

Jemisin crafts her most incredible novel yet, a "glorious" story of culture, identity, magic, and myths in contemporary New York City. In Manhattan, a young grad student gets off the train and realizes he doesn''t remember who he is, where he''s from, or even his own name. But he can sense the beating heart of the city, see its history, and feel its power. In the Bronx, a Lenape gallery director discovers strange graffiti scattered throughout the city, so beautiful and powerful it''s as if the paint is literally calling to her. In Brooklyn, a politician and mother finds she can hear the songs of her city, pulsing to the beat of her Louboutin heels. And they''re not the only ones. Every great city has a soul. Some are ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York? She''s got six. For more from N. K.

El portal de los obeliscos es la segunda parte de «La Tierra Fragmentada», serie que mezcla fantasía épica y ciencia ficción, y que ha hecho merecedora a su autora de dos Premios Hugo a la mejor novela consecutivos: 2017 por la presente y 2016 por La quinta estación (La Tierra Fragmentada 1). Toda era tiene que llegar a su fin. Ha dado comienzo una estación de desenlaces. Empieza con una gran grieta roja que recorre las entrañas del único continente del planeta, una grieta que escupe una ceniza que oculta la luz del sol. Empieza con la muerte, con un hijo asesinado y una hija perdida. Empieza con una traición, con heridas latentes que comienzan a supurar. El lugar es la Quietud, un continente acostumbrado a la catástrofe en el que la energía de la tierra se utiliza como arma. Y en el que no hay lugar para la misericordia. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION Winner of the 2017 Hugo Award for Best Novel "Magnificent" - NPR The acclaimed sequel to the bestselling The Fifth Season, winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Novel, and a New York Times Notable Book of 2015. THIS IS THE WAY THE WORLD ENDS, FOR THE LAST TIME. The season of endings grows darker, as civilization fades into the long cold night. Essun once Damaya, once Syenite, now avenger -- has found shelter, but not her daughter. Instead there is Alabaster Tenring, destroyer of the world, with a request. But if Essun does what he asks, it would seal the fate of the Stillness forever. Far away, her daughter Nassun is growing in power - and her choices will break the world.

[Volume 2: The obelisk gate] : The season of endings grows darker as civilization fades into the long cold night. Alabaster Tenring -- madman, world-crusher, savior -- has returned with a mission: to train his successor, Essun, and thus seal the fate of the Stillness forever. It continues with a lost daughter, found by the enemy. It continues with the obelisks, and an ancient mystery converging on answers at last. The Stillness is the wall which stands against the flow of tradition, the spark of hope long buried under the thickening ashfall. And it will not be broken.

Humanity will finally be saved or destroyed in the shattering conclusion to the post-apocalyptic and highly acclaimed NYT bestselling trilogy that won the Hugo Award three years in a row. The Moon will soon return. Whether this heralds the destruction of humankind or something worse will depend on two women. Essun has inherited the power of Alabaster Tenring.

From the NYT bestselling author of The Fifth Season comes a rich, original fantasy about a king gone mad with power in a world where magic is harvested from dreams. In the ancient city-state of Gujaareh, peace is the only law. Upon its rooftops and amongst the shadows of its cobbled streets wait the Gatherers -- the keepers of this peace. Priests of the dream-goddess, their duty is to harvest the magic of the sleeping mind and use it to heal, soothe . . . and kill those judged corrupt. But when a conspiracy blooms within Gujaareh''s great temple, Ehiru -- the most famous of the city''s Gatherers -- must question everything he knows. Someone, or something, is murdering dreamers in the goddess'' name, stalking its prey both in Gujaareh''s alleys and the realm of dreams. Ehiru must now protect the woman he was sent to kill -- or watch the city be devoured by war and forbidden magic. The Dreamblood Duology is an omnibus edition that includes The Killing Moon and The Shadowed Sun.
