*Finalist for the Pen/Faulkner Award for Fiction* From the author of Girls on Fire comes an “artful meditation on memory and identity” (The New York Times Book Review) centered around a woman with amnesia, the scientists studying her, and the daughter who longs to understand. Wendy Doe is a woman with no past and no future. Without any memory of who she is, she’s diagnosed with dissociative fugue, a temporary amnesia that could lift at any moment—or never at all—and invited by Dr. Benjamin Strauss to submit herself for experimental observation at his Meadowlark Institute for Memory Research. With few better options, Wendy feels she has no choice. To Dr. Strauss, Wendy is a female body, subject to his investigation and control. To Strauss’s ambitious student, Lizzie Epstein, she’s an object of fascination, a mirror of Lizzie’s own desires, and an invitation to wonder: once a woman is untethered from all past and present obligations of womanhood, who is she allowed to become? To Alice, the daughter she left behind, Wendy Doe is an absence so present it threatens to tear Alice’s world apart. Through their attempts to untangle Wendy’s identity—as well as her struggle to construct a new self—Wasserman has crafted an “artful meditation on memory and identity” (The New York Times Book Review) and a journey of discovery, reckoning, and reclamation. “A timely examination of memory, womanhood and power,” (Time) Mother Daughter Widow Wife will leave you “utterly riveted” (BuzzFeed).

A #1 New York Times bestseller! From #1 New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller Cassandra Clare comes an exciting short story collection that follows Jem Carstairs as he travels through the many Shadow Markets around the world. Ghosts of the Shadow Market is set in the world of the Shadowhunters. The Shadow Market is a meeting point for faeries, werewolves, warlocks, and vampires. There, the Downworlders buy and sell magical objects, make dark bargains, and whisper secrets they do not want the Shadowhunters to know. Through two centuries, however, there has been a frequent visitor to the Shadow Market from the very heart of the Shadowhunters’ world. Jem Carstairs is searching through the Shadow Market, in many different cities over long years, for a relic from his past. Follow Jem and see—against the backdrop of the Shadow Market’s dark dealings and spectacle—Anna Lightwood’s doomed romance, Matthew Fairchild’s great sin, and Tessa Gray as she is plunged into a world war. Valentine Morgenstern buys a soul at the Market and a young Jace Wayland’s soul finds safe harbor. In the Market is hidden a lost heir and a beloved ghost, and no one can save you once you have traded away your heart. Not even Jem.

UMA NOITE. UM CORPO NUMA PISCINA DE SANGUE. UM ASSASSINO ESCONDIDO NAS SOMBRAS. UMA GAROTA DEIXADA PARA TRÁS. SOZINHA PARA ENFRENTAR AS CONSEQUÊNCIAS. PARA ENCONTRAR A VERDADE. PARA VINGAR OS MORTOS. Coleção Phobos Era como um pesadelo do qual não se podia despertar. Quando a noite começou, Nora tinha dois melhores amigos e um amor digno de contos de fada. Quando terminou, havia apenas sangue em suas mãos, junto ao eco dos gritos que cessaram apenas quando lhe deram um tranquilizante. Na manhã seguinte, tudo ainda era verdade: Chris, seu melhor amigo, estava morto. A namorada dele, Adriane, estava em estado catatônico. Max, seu doce, inteligente e sensível príncipe encantado, havia desaparecido. E de acordo com a polícia, com seus pais, com todo mundo, ele era o assassino. Desesperada para provar a inocência de Max, Nora segue a trilha de sangue sem se importar com o destino final. O caminho a leva até as ruas ancestrais de Praga, onde ela é atraída para uma teia sombria de sociedades secretas motivadas pelo desejo de possuir uma máquina que talvez nem exista: a Lumen Dei. Enterrada em um manuscrito de centenas de anos há a receita para o conhecimento supremo e para a comunhão com o divino; acredita-se que quem controla a Lumen Dei, controla o mundo. Nora possui a chave para a revelação desses enigmas. Sua noite de sangue é apenas uma peça no quebra-cabeça que se estende por continentes e por séculos. Resolvê-lo pode ser a única maneira de salvar sua própria vida.

An NPR Best Book of the Year • A Buzzfeed Best Book of the Year On Halloween, 1991, a popular high school basketball star ventures into the woods near Battle Creek, Pennsylvania, and disappears. Three days later, he’s found with a bullet in his head and a gun in his hand—a discovery that sends tremors through this conservative community, already unnerved by growing rumors of Satanic worship in the region. In the wake of this incident, bright but lonely Hannah Dexter is befriended by Lacey Champlain, a dark-eyed, Cobain-worshiping bad influence in lip gloss and Doc Martens. The charismatic, seductive Lacey forges a fast, intimate bond with the impressionable Dex, making her over in her own image and unleashing a fierce defiance that neither girl expected. But as Lacey gradually lures Dex away from her safe life into a feverish spiral of obsession, rebellion, and ever greater risk, an unwelcome figure appears on the horizon—and Lacey’s secret history collides with Dex’s worst nightmare. By turns a shocking story of love and violence and an addictive portrait of the intoxication of female friendship, set against the unsettled backdrop of a town gripped by moral panic, Girls on Fire is an unflinching and unforgettable snapshot of girlhood: girls lost and found, girls strong and weak, girls who burn bright and brighter—and some who flicker away.

Die Voyagers sollen die Weiten des Universums ergründen, weiter, als je ein Mensch gereist ist – und sie werden Gefahren begegnen, von denen noch keiner etwas ahnt.

Famine. Death. War. Pestilence. These are the harbingers of the biblical apocalypse, of the End of the World. In science fiction, the end is triggered by less figurative means: nuclear holocaust, biological warfare/pandemic, ecological disaster, or cosmological cataclysm. But before any catastrophe, there are people who see it coming. During, there are heroes who fight against it. And after, there are the survivors who persevere and try to rebuild. THE APOCALYPSE TRIPTYCH will tell their stories. Edited by acclaimed anthologist John Joseph Adams and bestselling author Hugh Howey, The Apocalypse Triptych is a series of three anthologies of apocalyptic fiction. THE END IS NIGH focuses on life before the apocalypse. THE END IS NOW turns its attention to life during the apocalypse. And THE END HAS COME explores life after the apocalypse. THE END IS NIGH is about the match. THE END HAS COME is about what will rise from the ashes. THE END IS NOW is about the conflagration. * * * * THE END IS NOW table of contents: INTRODUCTION by John Joseph Adams | HERD IMMUNITY by Tananarive Due | THE SIXTH DAY OF DEER CAMP by Scott Sigler | GOODNIGHT STARS by Annie Bellet | ROCK MANNING CAN''T HEAR YOU by Charlie Jane Anders | FRUITING BODIES by Seanan McGuire | BLACK MONDAY by Sarah Langan | ANGELS OF THE APOCALYPSE by Nancy Kress | AGENT ISOLATED by David Wellington | THE GODS WILL NOT BE SLAIN by Ken Liu | YOU''VE NEVER SEEN EVERYTHING by Elizabeth Bear | BRING THEM DOWN by Ben H.

The sinning doesn''t stopNvolumes three and four in Wasserman''s scandalous Seven Deadly Sins series are now available in one book. Includes "Pride" and "Wrath."

After a series of suicide-killings and a deadly storm, the residents of the town of Oleander, Kansas, start acting even more strangely than would be expected.

From the author of the Seven Deadly Sins series and Hacking Harvard comes the final book in the science fiction trilogy Scott Westerfeld calls “spellbinding.” One year ago, Lia Kahn died. A few days later, she woke up. She had a new body: Mechanical, unfeeling, inhuman. She had a new family: Mechs like her, who didn’t judge her for what she could no longer be. She had a new life, one that would last forever. At least, it was supposed to. But now everything Lia thought she knew has turned out to be a lie; everyone she thought she loved has been stolen away. And someone is trying to get rid of the mechs, once and for all. Lia will risk everything to save herself and the people she can’t live without. But not before facing one final truth: She can’t save everyone.

From the author of The Seven Deadly Sins series and Hacking Harvard comes a riveting reality-based science fiction novel that Scott Westerfeld called “spellbinding.” Lia Kahn was perfect: rich, beautiful, popular—until the accident that nearly killed her. Now she has been downloaded into a new body that only looks human. Lia will never feel pain again, she will never age, and she can’t ever truly die. But she is also rejected by her friends, betrayed by her boyfriend, and alienated from her old life. Forced to the fringes of society, Lia joins others like her. But they are looked at as freaks. They are hated…and feared. They are everything but human, and according to most people, this is the ultimate crime—for which they must pay the ultimate price.

That is, until she joins the snoozeworthy, totally unglamorous school musical and finds herself in a role she''s never played before - best friend.

Everyone''s got something to brag about: Kaia''s getting it on with bachelor #1, though scruffball Reed''s gotten to be quite an interesting distraction.
