New Releases by Victoria Schwab

Imagine um lugar onde, como livros, os mortos repousam em prateleiras. Cada corpo tem uma história para contar, uma vida disposta em imagens que apenas os Bibliotecários podem ler. Aqui, os mortos são chamados de Histórias, e o vasto domínio em que eles descansam é o Arquivo. Mackenzie Bishop é uma implacável Guardiã, cuja tarefa é impedir Histórias – geralmente violentas – de acordar e fugir do Arquivo. Naqueles domínios, os mortos jamais devem ser perturbados, mas alguém parece estar, deliberadamente, alterando Histórias e apagando seus trechos essenciais. A menos que Mac consiga juntar as peças restantes, o próprio Arquivo sofrerá as consequências.

The thin truce that keeps the Harker and Flynn families at peace is crumbling, and an assassination attempt forces Kate and August into a tenuous alliance. But how long will they survive in a city where no one is safe and monsters are real...

The dead are called Histories, and the vast realm in which they rest is the Archive. Last summer, Mackenzie Bishop, a Keeper tasked with stopping violent Histories from escaping the Archive, almost lost her life to one. Now, as she starts her junior year at Hyde School, she''s struggling to get her life back. But moving on isn''t easy – not when her dreams are haunted by what happened. She knows the past is past, knows it cannot hurt her, but it feels so real, and when her nightmares begin to creep into her waking hours, she starts to wonder if she''s really safe. Meanwhile, people are vanishing without a trace, and the only thing they seem to have in common is Mackenzie. She''s sure the Archive knows more than they are letting on, but before she can prove it, she becomes the prime suspect. And unless Mac can track down the real culprit, she''ll lose everything, not only her role as Keeper, but her memories, and even her life. Can Mackenzie untangle the mystery before she herself unravels? With stunning prose and a captivating mixture of action, romance, and horror, The Unbound delves into a richly imagined world where no choice is easy and love and loss feel like two sides of the same coin.

The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger—a boy who seems to fade like smoke—appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi’s need to know— about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy. Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab’s debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won’t soon forget.
