New Releases by V. E. SCHWAB

LA BRUJA DE NEAR NO ES MÁS QUE UNA VIEJA HISTORIA QUE SE SUELE CONTAR PARA ASUSTAR A LOS NIÑOS. SI EL VIENTO TE LLAMA POR LA NOCHE, NO DEBES ESCUCHARLO. EL VIENTO ESTÁ SOLO Y SIEMPRE BUSCA COMPAÑÍA. NO HAY EXTRAÑOS EN EL PUEBLO DE NEAR. Estas son las verdades que Lexi ha escuchado toda su vida. Pero cuando un verdadero extraño –un joven que parece esfumarse como el humo– aparece por la noche cerca de su casa, en el páramo, ella descubre que, al menos uno de esos dichos ya no es cierto. A la noche siguiente, los niños de Near comienzan a desaparecer de sus camas y el misterioso joven se convierte en el primer sospechoso. Mientras se intensifica la búsqueda de los niños, lo mismo ocurre con la necesidad de Lexi de saber más acerca de la bruja (que podría ser más que un viejo cuento para dormir), acerca del viento que parece hablar por la noche a través de las paredes y acerca de la historia de este chico sin nombre. En parte cuento de hadas y en parte historia de amor, la primera novela de Victoria Schwab es completamente original y, sin embargo, dolorosamente familiar: una canción que escuchaste hace mucho tiempo, un susurro llevado por el viento y un sueño

The second book in #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author V.E. Schwab''s beloved Villains series- a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, and superpowers. A super-powered collision of extraordinary minds and vengeful intentions—V. E. Schwab returns with the thrilling follow-up to Vicious. Magneto and Professor X. Superman and Lex Luthor. Sydney and Serena Clarke. Victor Vale and Eli Ever. Great partnerships—now soured on the vine. But Marcella Riggins needs no one. Flush from her brush with death, she’s gained the control she always sought—and will use her newfound power to bring the city of Merit to its knees. She’ll do whatever it takes, from taking over the mob to collecting her own sidekicks, and even leveraging the two most infamous EOs, Victor Vale and Eli Ever, in a dangerous game of cat and mouse. With Marcella''s rise, new enmities create surprising opportunity—and the stage of Merit will once again be set for a final, terrible reckoning. “In Vengeful, V.E. Schwab is at the top of her game, with twisty action, oddball family pairings and unexpected antiheroes you can’t help but root for.” —Washington Post “Schwab''s characters feel vital and real, never reduced to simple archetypes... In a genre that tends toward the flippant or pretentious, this is a rare superhero novel as epic and gripping as any classic comic. Schwab''s tale of betrayal, self-hatred, and survival will resonate with superhero fans as well as readers who have never heard of Charles Xavier or Victor von Doom.” —Publishers Weekly, starred review At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

Magie, Intrigen, Täuschung, Abenteuer – und Piraten. »Die Beschwörung des Lichts« von V.E. Schwab ist das große Finale der Weltenwanderer-Trilogie um die vier unterschiedlichen Versionen von London. »Wie tötet man einen Gott?« Diese Frage stellen sich Lila und Kell, als die Dunkelheit ihre Heimat, das Rote London, erfasst. Osaron, die finsterste Ausgeburt des Schwarzen London, hat in kurzer Zeit die Macht in der Stadt an sich gerissen. Und er möchte vor allem eins: verehrt werden. Selbst die stärksten Magier des Reiches kommen nicht gegen ihn an, also schmieden Kell und Lila einen verzweifelten Plan. Zusammen mit dem von seiner Familie verstoßenen Piraten Emery Alucard und dem zwielichtigen Antari Holland machen sie sich auf die Suche nach einem magischen Artefakt, das selbst Osaron in die Schranken weisen kann. »›Die Beschwörung des Lichts‹ ist pure Magie und der krönende Abschluss einer großartigen Serie. Die Weltenwanderer-Trilogie ein Wendepunkt in der Fantasy-Literatur, die das Genre durch ihre Originalität und meisterhafte Sprache neu belebt hat.

A New York Times bestseller The bestselling sequel—and conclusion—to Victoria Schwab’s instant #1 New York Times bestseller This Savage Song. Kate Harker is a girl who isn’t afraid of the dark. She’s a girl who hunts monsters. And she’s good at it. August Flynn is a monster who can never be human. No matter how much he once yearned for it. He has a part to play. And he will play it, no matter the cost. Nearly six months after Kate and August were first thrown together, the war between the monsters and the humans is a terrifying reality. In Verity, August has become the leader he never wished to be, and in Prosperity, Kate has become the ruthless hunter she knew she could be. When a new monster emerges from the shadows—one who feeds on chaos and brings out its victim’s inner demons—it lures Kate home, where she finds more than she bargained for. She’ll face a monster she thought she killed, a boy she thought she knew, and a demon all her own. A gorgeously written dark fantasy from New York Times–bestselling author Victoria Schwab, and one to hand to fans of Holly Black, Laini Taylor, and Maggie Stiefvater. “Explosive.”—Brightly

«Épico e emocionante.» -Publishers Weekly Nomeado para o Goodreads Choice Award na categoria deFantasia (2015) Kell é um dos últimos viajantes, magos com a capacidade rara e muito desejada de viajar entre universos paralelos, ligados através de uma cidade mágica. Existe a Londres Cinzenta, suja e aborrecida, desprovida de qualquer magia e regida por um rei louco: George III. Existe a Londres Vermelha, onde a vida e a magia são veneradas e onde Kell cresceu com Rhy Maresh, o herdeiro irreverente de um império próspero. Existe a Londres Branca, um lugar onde as pessoas lutam para controlar a magia e a magia contra-ataca, consumindo a cidade até aos ossos. Outrora, existiu a Londres Negra. Mas já ninguém fala dela. Kell é oficialmente o viajante da Londres Vermelha, embaixador do império Maresh, guardião da correspondência mensal entre as realezas de cada Londres. Não oficialmente, é um contrabandista, servindo as pessoas dispostas a pagar pelo mais pequeno vislumbre de um mundo que nunca verão. É um passatempo difícil, cujas consequências perigosas Kell sofrerá em primeira mão. Fugitivo na Londres Cinzenta, conhece Delilah Bard, uma fora da lei com aspirações grandiosas. Primeiro, rouba-o, depois, salva-o de um inimigo mortífero e, por fim, obriga-o a levá-la para outro mundo à procura de uma verdadeira aventura. Mas uma magia perigosa cresce e a traição está em todas as esquinas. Para salvar todos os mundos, têm, antes de mais, de sobreviver.

V. E. Schwab''s New York Times bestseller Vicious is a masterful tale of ambition, jealousy, desire, and superpowers. Victor and Eli started out as college roommates—brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same sharpness and ambition in each other. In their senior year, a shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl whose reserved nature obscures a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find—aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the archnemeses have set a course for revenge—but who will be left alive at the end? In Vicious, V. E. Schwab brings to life a gritty comic-book-style world in vivid prose: a world where gaining superpowers doesn''t automatically lead to heroism, and a time when allegiances are called into question. "A dynamic and original twist on what it means to be a hero and a villain. A killer from page one...highly recommended!" —Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of Marvel Universe vs The Avengers and Patient Zero One of Publishers Weekly''s Best Fantasy Books of 2013 At the Publisher''s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
