¿Y si aquello que queremos nunca es lo que necesitamos? La novela más romántica de la primavera.

Todo el mundo tiene deseos de cosas imposibles o, al menos, improbables. El de Víctor es encontrar su lugar en el mundo, recorrer países conociendo ciudades, chicas, y, sobre todo, a sí mismo. El de Álex es besar a su mejor amigo.

Víctor y Álex son mejores amigos, siempre han estado juntos y no sabrán cómo enfrentarse a ciertas cosas cuando sus caminos se tengan que separar, porque van a tener que hacerlo.

Lo que descubrirán es que, cuando perdemos aquello que llevamos persiguiendo tanto tiempo, otras cosas aparecen, florecen, renacen y puede que constituyan la respuesta que tanto anhelamos. Pero ambos saben que, con una sola llamada en el momento indicado, con un solo "te quiero," aquello que creían olvidado puede tomar una nueva fuerza y sus secretos podrán salir a la luz.

Y es que los primeros amores, cuando no llegan a materializarse, son aún más difíciles de olvidar.

Una historia fresca, desinhibida, que, entre lo que encontramos y lo que perdemos, nos habla de lo que todos perseguimos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

What if what we want is never what we truly need? The most romantic novel of the spring.

Everyone has dreams of impossible—or at least improbable—things. Victor's dream is to find his place in the world, traveling to different countries, discovering cities, meeting girls, and, most importantly, finding himself. Alex's dream is to kiss his best friend.

Victor and Alex are best friends; they've always been inseparable, and they won't know how to cope when their paths are forced to diverge—because they will have to.

What they will discover is that, when we lose what we've been chasing for so long, other things emerge, bloom, and may even become the answers we've longed for. But they also know that, with one call at the right moment, with a single "I love you," what they thought was forgotten could regain its strength, and their secrets could come to light.

First loves, when they never materialize, are even harder to forget.

A fresh, uninhibited story that speaks to us about what we all pursue, between what we find and what we lose.

Luka recurre a la música para comprender sus pensamientos.
Nora la utiliza para huir de ellos.

Ambos están decididos a ignorar lo que ocurrió entre ellos aquella noche. Mientras Luka trata de reconducir su vida, ahora que al fin salió de ese agujero que lo consumió el año pasado, Nora sigue con lo que mejor se le da: mentir. Ha hecho creer a sus padres que tiene un trabajo, un novio y una vida perfectos, como su excelentísima hermana Margot.

Cuando, por caprichos del destino, Nora y Luka se ven obligados a convivir, el pasado sigue lastimándolos. No se llevan bien, pero pronto descubren que los dos se necesitan mutuamente, así que llegan a un acuerdo: Luka ayudará a Nora a mantener la farsa con su familia a cambio de que, cuando llegue el momento, ella le devuelva el favor. Total, fingir una relación tampoco tiene que ser tan difícil, ¿no?

Siendo tan diferentes, ¿quién iba a decir que tendrían tantas cosas en común?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Luka turns to music to make sense of his thoughts.
Nora uses it to escape them.

Both are determined to ignore what happened between them that night. While Luka is trying to rebuild his life—finally free from the darkness that consumed him last year—Nora continues doing what she does best: lying. She has convinced her parents that she has a job, a boyfriend, and a perfect life—just like her ever-so-exemplary sister, Margot.

When fate forces Nora and Luka to live together, their past still haunts them. They don’t get along, but soon they realize they need each other, so they strike a deal: Luka will help Nora maintain her façade with her family, in exchange for her returning the favor when the time comes. After all, pretending to be in a relationship can't be that hard… right?

They’re complete opposites, so who would have guessed they had so much in common?

Un reino lleno de secretos.
Un palacio cimentado en mentiras.
Solo ella podrá evitar que la maldición acabe con todo.

Cerise Solon nunca ha cumplido con las expectativas, ¿cómo podría hacerlo si es una vidente incapaz de presagiar el futuro? No tiene sentido que la eligieran como la responsable de romper la maldición que amenaza con acabar con el último miembro de la familia real.

El joven rey Kian es un enigma tan oscuro como la maldición que lo consume: durante el día, su arrogancia y su magnetismo son imposibles de ignorar, pero en la noche, se desvanece entre las sombras. Sus ojos grises y su mordaz forma de hablar toman por sorpresa a Cerise, quien jamás había pensado que alguien aceleraría su corazón y la sonrojaría de esa manera. Sin embargo, Kian es un riesgo que no puede permitirse; su deber con el reino está primero, especialmente porque el rey, en su próximo cumpleaños, se perderá para siempre en la oscuridad de la noche.

Kian tiene el tiempo contado y Cerise, quien toda su vida pensó que no era especial, pronto descubrirá que la única oportunidad de salvarlo depende de ella y del gran secreto que le han ocultado desde que nació. ¿Podrá romper la maldición o se convertirá en la perdición del hombre al que ama y del reino entero?

DÉJATE SEDUCIR POR KIAN MORTARA, REY DE DÍA… Y SOMBRA DE NOCHE.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

A kingdom full of secrets.
A palace built on lies.
Only she can stop the curse from destroying everything.

Cerise Solon has never lived up to expectations—how could she, when she’s a seer who cannot predict the future? It makes no sense that she was chosen to break the curse threatening to wipe out the last member of the royal family.

Young King Kian is as much an enigma as the dark curse that consumes him. By day, his arrogance and magnetism are impossible to ignore; by night, he vanishes into the shadows. His piercing gray eyes and sharp tongue take Cerise by surprise—she never imagined someone could make her heart race and cheeks flush like this. But Kian is a risk she cannot afford. Her duty to the kingdom comes first, especially since on his next birthday, the king will be lost forever to the night’s darkness.

Kian’s time is running out, and Cerise—who has spent her whole life believing she was nothing special—will soon realize that the only chance of saving him depends on her… and the great secret that has been hidden from her since birth. Can she break the curse, or will she doom the man she loves—and the entire kingdom?

Let yourself be drawn in by Kian Mortara, king by day… shadow by night.

Una historia tan dulce y cálida... como el pan que se hornea.

«Inocente, sin complicaciones e irresistible. La historia se hornea a la perfección: un crush que se convierte en enamoramiento, y más tarde en un gran amor, que tiene como escenario una panadería con hornos calientes, estantes abarrotados y deliciosos postres griegos». — Los Angeles Review of Books

Ari terminó la preparatoria y está listo para comenzar su vida: mudarse a la gran ciudad, triunfar con su banda ultra cool y, sobre todo, dejar la panadería familiar, si logra convencer a su papá.

Cuando era niño disfrutaba trabajar ahí, pero ahora no se imagina pasar el resto de sus días amasando y horneando, pues lo que quiere es tener historias que contar.

Mientras entrevista a candidatos para reemplazarlo, conoce a Héctor, un chico lindo que ama la panadería tanto como él quiere escapar de ella. Ari y Héctor tienen una química inexplicable que los acerca más y más con cada receta que comparten y con cada charola de pan que sale del horno. El amor está listo para florecer… si es que Ari no lo arruina antes.

Kevin Panetta y Savanna Ganucheau han creado la receta perfecta para una novela gráfica: el primer amor, postres deliciosos, decisiones equivocadas, pero también con lo maravilloso que es encontrar a las personas con quienes crecer se vuelve una aventura increíble.

A story as warm and sweet… as freshly baked bread.

"Innocent, uncomplicated, and irresistible. The story is baked to perfection: a crush that turns into infatuation, and later into a great love, set in a bakery with warm ovens, packed shelves, and delicious Greek pastries." — Los Angeles Review of Books

Ari has graduated high school and is ready to start his life—move to the big city, make it big with his ultra-cool band, and most of all, leave the family bakery behind, if he can convince his dad.

As a child, he loved working there, but now he can’t imagine spending the rest of his life kneading and baking. What he really wants is to have stories to tell.

While interviewing candidates to replace him, he meets Héctor, a charming guy who loves the bakery as much as Ari wants to escape from it. Ari and Héctor have an inexplicable chemistry, bringing them closer with every recipe they share and every tray of bread fresh out of the oven. Love is ready to rise… if Ari doesn’t mess it up first.

Kevin Panetta and Savanna Ganucheau have created the perfect recipe for a graphic novel: first love, delicious pastries, wrong decisions—but also the wonder of finding the right people, the ones who turn growing up into an incredible adventure.

No confíes ni en tu sombra. Nadie es lo que aparenta.

Luego de arruinar los planes del terrible asesino de ferronatos (y romper varias leyes fae en el camino), Arlo sólo quiere un verano tranquilo, por lo que acepta hospedarse en el palacio Seelie de Verano. Aunque nadie confía en la reina Riadne, Arlo no va a dejar pasar la oportunidad de convivir más con Vehan y Aurelian. Además, si logra relajarse quizá también pueda ordenar sus sentimientos por la hermosa exfuria Nausicaä.

Sin embargo, sus planes peligran ante la sospecha de que alguien está tratando de invocar a los míticos Siete Pecados Capitales. El ambiente se vuelve más tenso con la inminente llegada del solsticio de verano, pues todos en el reino están convencidos de que Riadne desafiará al sumo rey.

Si los rumores son ciertos, Arlo tendrá que tomar una decisión que no sólo afectará el destino del reino Mortal, sino que podría condenarlo a un final tan devastador que ninguna de las Cortes ha visto jamás.

After thwarting the man behind the gruesome ironborn murders—and breaking several fae laws to do so—all Arlo wants is a quiet summer. As the deity of luck’s Hollow Star, capable of bringing about endless possibilities, this shouldn’t be too much to ask, right?

But someone is still trying to summon the mythical Seven Deadly Sins. All signs point to immortal meddling, and if this is the gods’ attempt at returning to the Mortal Realm, it’s Arlo they’re going to use to do it.

When Queen Riadne offers to host Arlo at the Seelie Summer palace, she jumps at the chance. She’ll get to see more of Vehan and Aurelian and perhaps even work out her complicated feelings for the gorgeous ex-Fury, Nausicaä. But no one trusts the infamous Queen of Light, even as Arlo wonders if she’s just been greatly misunderstood.

With the Summer Solstice quickly approaching, everyone expects Riadne to finally challenge the High King for his crown. And as Arlo struggles to get control of her powers and take charge of her destiny, she’ll soon be faced with a choice that won’t only change the fate of the Mortal Realm forever but could condemn it to a cruelty the likes of which the Courts have never known.

The Newbery Honor–winning second novel in the renowned Earthsea series from Ursula K. LeGuin.

Desconfía de todo. Lucha por tu vida. Protege siempre tu corazón. 

El fenómeno de romantasy que arrasa en redes para fans de la Serie Empíreo.

Una sola vez cada cien años, se celebra el Kejari, el legendario torneo en honor a la diosa de la muerte, Nyaxia, que reúne a los vampiros de todos los rincones. En esta ocasión, sin embargo, hay una participante de lo más particular: una humana, Oraya, que además es la hija adoptiva del rey de los Nacidos de la Noche.

Aunque lleva entrenándose toda la vida, Oraya está en clara desventaja. Este mundo está diseñado para matarla y este torneo mortal es la peor prueba: deberá competir contra los vampiros más feroces y sanguinarios de todos los pueblos. No obstante, es su única oportunidad para ser algo más que una presa y poder cumplir un sueño oculto.

El torneo requerirá que establezca peligrosas alianzas, en particular, con su mayor adversario, Raihn. Todo en él es temible. Nacido para matar, es despiadado y además un enemigo de su padre. Como si todo esto no fuera suficiente, se avecina una tormenta —como un oscuro presagio— que sacude todo lo que Oraya creía saber sobre su hogar. Raihn podría entenderla mejor que nadie, pero sin embargo la proximidad con él podría ser su perdición. Al fin y al cabo, ambos viven en un mundo en el que nada es más letal que el amor.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

For humans and vampires, the rules of survival are the same: never trust, never yield, and always – always – guard your heart.

The adopted human daughter of the Nightborn vampire king, Oraya carved her place in a world designed to kill her. Her only chance to become something more than prey is entering the Kejari: a legendary tournament held by the goddess of death herself.

But winning won’t be easy amongst the most vicious warriors from all three vampire houses. To survive, Oraya is forced to make an alliance with a mysterious rival.

Everything about Raihn is dangerous. He is a ruthless vampire, an efficient killer, an enemy to her father’s crown… and her greatest competition. Yet, what terrifies Oraya most of all is that she finds herself oddly drawn to him.

All hail Malves, who shall wear crowns.
On the night of her brother’s murder, Adelina Malves holds him as he dies, inheriting both his title and the prophecy that spelled out his doom. If she’s to avenge him and avoid a similar death, she must claim the crown of Jumaral by ruthlessly cutting down every family member ahead of her in the line of succession and uncover the secret that got her brother killed.

Hail! Thou shalt get kings, though thou be none.
Ghost-whispering Jasibin holds the key to Adelina’s plan to contact her dead brother—if only his strange magic wasn’t killing him slowly. To fulfill his own prophecy and protect his brother Seba, he must discover the source of his magic before he’s lost to the land of the dead.

All hail, Sebastião, that shall be king hereafter.
Seba is desperate for a way out of Jumaral and the substantial financial debt his dead mother left him. When a witch sees the riches of a king in his future, Adelina’s offer of coin in exchange for help feels like fate, pulling Seba into a fake dating plot with Adelina that hides their sinister plans.

In this stunning, innovative retelling of Shakespeare’s Macbeth set in a Portugal-inspired country, three teenagers will stop at nothing to fulfill their destinies.

"[David A. Robertson] weaves an engrossing and unforgettable story with the precision of a historian and the colour of a true Indigenous storyteller."—Rosanna Deerchild

From the bestselling author of The Misewa Saga and When We Were Alone, comes 7 Generations: A Plains Cree Saga. This epic series of young adult graphic novels follows one Cree family over three centuries and seven generations.

Edwin, a Cree teenage boy, is struggling to feel connected to his family and his identity. From stories shared by his mother, Edwin learns about the history of his family, through the years of war, a smallpox epidemic, and residential schools, all the way through to the present and the conflicts Edwin faces in his own life.

Edwin must confront the past to heal in the present—but can his father, scarred by his own residential school experience, heal in time to help Edwin?

This special 15th anniversary edition brings together all four titles in the 7 Generations series, recoloured and relettered, with a preface from author David A. Robertson and an afterword from bestselling author Cherie Dimaline.

Inspirada en los libros de Jane Austen y en la historia de la comunidad queer, ésta es una novela que cambia las reglas del "... y fueron felices para siempre".

En una época en la que se cree que la identidad de género se reduce a dos opciones, la joven George teme que la reputación de su familia se arruine si el mundo se entera que prefiere usar ropa de hombre. Por si fuera poco, acaba de heredar una finca que está al borde de la quiebra y sus sentimientos por su mejor amiga, Eleanor, se han vuelto cada vez más complicados.

Eleanor siempre quiere hacer todo de la forma correcta, incluso cuando se enamora. Hasta ahora no ha conocido a ningún chico que le interese, así que, por lo pronto, pasa el día con su querida prima Charlotte y con la persona más importante para ella: George. Pero todo cambia cuando la búsqueda de un pretendiente finalmente despierta su curiosidad y con ello pone en riesgo su relación con George, hasta llevarla a cuestionarse sobre lo "correcto" y enfrentarse a sentimientos que desconocía.

As if that weren't enough, she has just inherited an estate that is on the verge of bankruptcy, and her feelings for her best friend, Eleanor, have become increasingly complicated.

Eleanor always wants to do everything the right way, even when it comes to falling in love. So far, she hasn't met any guy that interests her, so for now, she spends her days with her beloved cousin Charlotte and the most important person to her: George. But everything changes when the search for a suitor finally sparks her curiosity, putting her relationship with George at risk and leading her to question what is "right" and face feelings she never knew she had.

Sadie Wen es perfecta... en teoría.

Sadie tiene el mejor promedio de su generación y todos los profesores la adoran. Conseguir todo eso no ha sido fácil, pero ella tiene un truco que le ha permitido soportar el estrés de ser una estudiante ejemplar: descarga todas sus frustraciones en correos electrónicos que nunca envía. Jamás se atrevería a lastimar los sentimientos de sus profesores y compañeros.

Sus correos más rudos son contra Julius Gong.

Él es el único chico en la escuela que desde que eran niños ha competido con ella. Nunca ha dudado en decirle sus verdades: «Estás hambriento de atención, vives obsesionado contigo mismo y eres insoportablemente vanidoso».

¿Para qué reprimirse si nadie va a leer sus correos? O al menos de eso está convencida… hasta que todos se envían por accidente.

De un día para otro, la vida de Sadie se convierte en una pesadilla. Ahora todos en la escuela saben lo que realmente piensa de ellos y no tendrán compasión para decirle sus opiniones sobre ella. En medio del caos que se desata, hay una persona que sí aprecia descubrir a la «verdadera» Sadie: Julius, el chico al que juró odiar por siempre.

Achieving all of that hasn't been easy, but she has a trick that has allowed her to endure the stress of being an exemplary student: She takes out all her frustrations on emails she never sends. He would never dare to hurt the feelings of his teachers and classmates.

Her toughest emails are against Julius Gong.

He is the only boy in the school who has competed with her since they were children. She has never hesitated to tell him his truths: "You are hungry for attention, you live obsessed with yourself and you are unbearably vain."

Why hold back if no one is going to read your emails? Or at least that's what she's convinced of... until they are all sent by accident.

From one day to the next, Sadie's life turns into a nightmare. Now everyone at school knows what she really thinks of them and will have no compassion to tell her their opinions about her. In the midst of the chaos that ensues, there is one person who does appreciate discovering the "real" Sadie: Julius, the boy she swore to hate forever.

For Eva Brown, life feels lonely and small. Her mother, Shirley, drinks and yells all the time. She’s the target of the popular mean girl, and her only friend doesn’t want to talk to her anymore.

Nido de serpientes es, sobre todo, una historia de crecimiento, una celebración de la amistad.

Efrén se siente un poco mal por irse de San Tolok, el pueblo costero donde ha estado toda su vida, y dejar morir a Los Macehuallis, el grupo de rock que conforma con sus amigos: Tanque, el más joven de la banda y boxeador amateur, y Paredes, un vagales de tiempo completo.

Este es el último verano en el que podrán estar juntos y su último show será la escandalosa despedida de sus años de fiestas, de skaters y de rocanrol, ¡y harán que valga la pena! Pero después de una alocada noche, todo cambiará cuando los tres amigos descubran a la policía turística del pueblo cometiendo un delito…

Con un atractivo lenguaje visual y un argumento divertido que no por ello deja de tocar temas relevantes como la violencia y la corrupción en las ciudades turísticas, Nido de serpientes —obra ganadora del Premio Nacional de Novela Gráfica Joven 2018— es, sobre todo, una historia de crecimiento, una celebración de la amistad situada justo en ese momento, entre la adolescencia y la adultez, cuando de jóvenes comenzamos a labrarnos un camino.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Nido de serpientes is, above all, a coming-of-age story, a celebration of friendship.

Efrén feels a bit uneasy about leaving San Tolok, the coastal town where he has spent his entire life, and letting Los Macehuallis, the rock band he formed with his friends, fade away: Tanque, the youngest member and an amateur boxer, and Paredes, a full-time drifter.

This is their last summer together, and their final show will be the outrageous farewell to their years of partying, skating, and rock and roll—making sure it’s worth it! But after a wild night, everything changes when the three friends witness the town’s tourist police committing a crime…

With a striking visual language and a fun yet thought-provoking storyline that tackles relevant themes such as violence and corruption in tourist cities, Nido de serpientes—winner of the **National Young Graphic Novel Award 2018**—is, above all, a coming-of-age story, a celebration of friendship set in that pivotal moment between adolescence and adulthood, when young people begin to carve out their own paths.

In an extraordinary stroke of luck, six high school students – Luke, Alex, Harriet, Meg, Kye, and outcast Cassie – find themselves thrust into unimaginable wealth after winning a staggering 50 million-dollar Megaball prize. Overnight, their ordinary lives transform into a world where anything is attainable, and shopping becomes difficult - not because you can’t afford anything, but because you can afford everything.

As the group begin to discover the truth behind their extraordinary good fortune, they unwittingly unravel a complex web of lies concealing not only their improbable win but also other so-called luck happening around them.

In this heart-pounding tale of wealth, deceit, and moral reckoning, the millionaires club find themselves entangled in a treacherous game where the price of fortune is higher than they ever imagined. As they attempt to shield their newfound riches and each other from the relentless pursuit of the truth, they begin to realize that luck can be far from good, and lies, once buried, have a way of clawing their way back to the surface.

Inspired by true events, this story of strength, family, and culture shares the awe-inspiring resilience of Elder Betty Ross.

Abandoned as a young child, Betsy is adopted into a loving family. A few short years later, at the age of 8, everything changes. Betsy is taken away to a residential school. There she is forced to endure abuse and indignity, but Betsy recalls the words her father spoke to her at Sugar Falls—words that give her the resilience, strength, and determination to survive.

Sugar Falls is based on the true story of Betty Ross, Elder from Cross Lake First Nation. We wish to acknowledge, with the utmost gratitude, Betty’s generosity in sharing her story. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of Sugar Falls goes to support the bursary program for The Helen Betty Osborne Memorial Foundation.

This 10th-anniversary edition brings David A. Robertson’s national bestseller to life in full colour, with a foreword by The Hon. Murray Sinclair, Chair of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, and a touching afterword from Elder Betty Ross herself.

The guilt and loss of James’s residential school experiences follow him into adulthood, and his life spirals out of control. Lauren makes a pact with him that will lead to either death or redemption: confront the demons that haunt him or be prepared to forego a life with her and their son, Edwin.

Edwin, mired in the desolation of his fatherless childhood, struggles to heal. As James navigates his own healing, he realizes, somehow, he must save his son’s life—as well as his own. When father and son finally meet, can they rebuild their shattered relationship, and themselves, or will it be too late?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

In Master of Iron, the conclusion to #1 New York Times-bestselling author Tricia Levenseller’s exciting and romantic Bladesmith duology, a magically gifted blacksmith must race against the clock to save her beloved sister and stop a devastating war.

Eighteen-year-old Ziva may have defeated a deadly warlord, but the price was almost too much. Ziva is forced into a breakneck race to a nearby city with the handsome mercenary, Kellyn, and the young scholar, Petrik, to find a powerful magical healer who can save her sister’s life.

When the events that follow lead to Ziva and Kellyn’s capture by an ambitious prince, Ziva is forced into the very situation she’s been dreading: magicking dangerous weapons meant for world domination.

The forge has always been Ziva’s safe space, a place to avoid society and the anxiety it causes her, but now it is her prison, and she’s not sure just how much of herself she’ll have to sacrifice to save Kellyn and take center stage in the very war she’s been trying to stop.

Praise for the Bladesmith Duology:

"An addictive page-turner. Loaded with action, betrayal, slow-burn romance—honestly, that is the best first kiss scene ever... Be prepared to laugh, cry, and gasp." — Mary E. Pearson, the New York Times-bestselling author of The Remnant Chronicles on Blade of Secrets

"Levenseller elevates her already intriguing fantasy world through her depiction of Ziva, whose anxiety will ring true for anyone who’s ever had a panic attack. Grab this and devour it."— Booklist on Blade of Secrets, starred review

"Blade of Secrets is an impactful, eye-opening journey of social anxiety that is flawlessly blended with Levenseller's signature flair for adventure and romance." —Bookstagram sensation Bridget Howard

Bokang’s life is falling apart as his family spirals into poverty and conflict over his father's gambling and alcohol addiction.  

Bokang Damane is a talented outsider, a dreamer, at his prestigious school. His problems mount after writing an essay – not even a controversial essay – on racial or political issues. Just a short paper on suicide. Really? Talk about drama. Now life is just a slog of unsolvable problems. Problem #1: Not black enough for the black kids and too black for the white kids. Yep, that’s what happens when you attend a pompous all boys’ school and live in the suburbs. Problem #2: Family finances are a joke – they can’t even afford Bokang’s initiation as a Xhosa. How can he function without respect, respect that only a Xhosa man commands after the weeks-long initiation ordeal in the countryside? Problem #3: An alcoholic, gambling attorney for a father who expects the world to bend to his will or fist.

Bokang just wants to rap, sketch, and be left alone. Everyone keeps talking about Bokang reaching his true potential, but everyone also keeps getting in the way. So what happens? Boy meets girl – a beautiful girl, Nokwanda. It wouldn’t be a story otherwise. But she comes with her own set of issues. Most of all, Napoleon, her hulking on again, off again boyfriend who has been known to assuage his jealousies with a good old-fashioned beat-down.

It’s a fight to find the flow – a spark to rise above the raging seas of family strife and school pressure and discover a path, though fraught with danger, into the future.

Las chicas Marymount somos buenas chicas. Castas, puras, casi inalcanzables, y lo importante no es serlo sino parecerlo. Yo no soy la excepción, sé portarme bien, con mi uniforme planchado, mi cuerpo erguido; de lunes a viernes soy la dueña del instituto y los domingos… una buena niña católica.

Esa soy yo, siempre tengo el control. No puedo confesar lo que realmente quiero, he de ocultarlo, cada día, cada hora, luchar contra el deseo constante de meter mi mano bajo su falda. Porque todos interpretamos un papel, y el mío es ser perfecta.

Todos los días pongo rumbo al colegio Marymount con una motivación: graduarme y entrar en la universidad. No me avergüenzo ni de mi familia ni de mis orígenes, aunque todos en la escuela se dediquen a cuchichear sobre el largo de mi falda o el rojo de mis labios.

Ellos siempre me han despreciado y creen que no voy a defenderme. Se equivocan. Lo haré cuando esté a solas con ella y le demuestre que no hace falta que sea un chico quien la toque para dejar aflorar todo lo que esconde con tanto esfuerzo.

Le dije que no cruzara las vías, pero lo hizo. Y ahora no hay vuelta atrás.

Away games, back seats, and the locker room after hours... Get ready for a new sapphic bully romance!
 
CLAY
 
Marymount girls are good girls. We're chaste, we're untouched, and even if we weren't, no one would know, because we keep our mouths shut.

Not that I have anything to share anyway. I never let guys go too far. I'm behaved. Beautiful, smart, talented, popular, my skirt's always pressed, and I never have a hair out of place. I own the hallways, walking tall on Monday and dropping to my knees like the good Catholic girl I am on Sunday.
 
That's me. Always in control. Or so they think. The truth is that it's easy for me to resist them, because what I truly want, they can never be. Something soft and smooth. Someone dangerous and wild. Unfortunately, what I want I have to hide.
 
In the locker room after hours. In the bathroom stall between classes. In the showers after practice.

For me, life is a web of secrets. No one can find out mine.

I cross the tracks every day for one reason—to graduate from this school and get into the Ivy League. I'm not ashamed of where I come from, my family, or how everyone at Marymount thinks my skirts are too short and my lipstick is too red.
 
Clay Collins and her friends have always turned up their noses at me. The witch with her beautiful skin, clean shoes, and rich parents who torments me daily and thinks I won't fight back.
 
At least not until I get her alone and find out she's hiding so much more than just what's underneath those pretty clothes. The princess thinks I'll scratch her itch. She thinks she's still pure as long as it's not a guy touching her.
 
I told her to stay on her side of town. I told her not to cross the tracks. But one night, she did.

And when I'm done with her, she'll never be pure again.

Tarni can’t wait for her Senior Prom and is counting down the days. She has a checklist for everything—the shoes, the makeup, the friends, the photos, and most importantly, the dress. But Tarni’s perfect dress is a whopping $950 and she has to work extra shifts at her job to pay for it. While she slowly marks off her checklist, the elusive dress remains too expensive. Beside the dance, she still has to pay for her driver’s license and driving lessons. Add on the pressure of trying to decide what she’s going to do once school is over, and Tarni is becoming a nervous wreck.

Then the worst happens, by the time she saves enough for the dress, it’s sold out. How can she find her perfect dress—and in the right size in time? And will she ever get a clue on what to do after school? She will have to rely on her fashion sense and courage to make her dreams come true.

“Beautifully written and exquisitely conceived . . . an adventure for the coming climate change apocalypse. Jack leads readers through a forbidding continent of ice and other environmental consequences with little more than a willing heart and a fierce intelligence.” – Jane Rosenberg LaForge, author of The Hawkman

Jack, a 200-year-old intersex street kid, knows the world didn’t always look like it does now, with the Great Garbage Ocean spewing plastic and jellyfish along the shores and humanity on the brink of extinction.

The massive tidal wave that separated him from everyone he knew. His encounter with a trickster god. A world blanketed in never-ending ice, and his desperate trek across frozen lakes, through still-standing monuments to the past, and over roaring waterfalls to reach the salt sea.

In every life Jack has lived though, one thing has stayed the same: people’s will to survive.

Varela de Mar es un pueblo pequeño y tranquilo. Doscientos treinta y tres habitantes. Una playa que desaparece cuando sube la marea. Un faro abandonado.

Por eso Alba no lo visita desde hace cinco años. Bueno, por eso y porque ahí fue donde aprendió lo que duele el amor, y la herida aún lastima.

Pip está acostumbrada a recibir amenazas. Tiene un pódcast de true crime que se ha vuelto viral y, además, su labor como investigadora le ha supuesto crearse más de un enemigo. Pero, de entre todos esos mensajes que le llegan, hay unos que le preocupan. Se repiten constantemente, haciéndole una pregunta, siempre la misma: «¿Quién te buscará cuando seas tú la que desaparezca?».

Sus temores se confirman cuando se da cuenta de que quien le envía esos anónimos ha pasado de amenazarla a perseguirla. Y todo empeorará cuando encuentre un patrón entre la forma de actuar de su acosador y la de un asesino que, en teoría, está en la cárcel desde hace años… O ¿puede ser que un inocente esté entre rejas y el asesino ande suelto? Sea como sea, Pip debe encontrar las respuestas necesarias o, esta vez sí, será ella la que desaparecerá…

“I think y'all have the wrong number.”

Damon Quinn just wants to get through his senior year unscathed. His mom struggles with alcohol and is barely coping with the day-to-day. Marcus and his cronies at school are forever causing Damon trouble. The new girl, Journey, won't mind her own business. To make matters worse, now a mysterious crow is following him everywhere. After he is seized by a waking dream in the middle of a busy street, Damon is forced to confront his mom with some hard questions: Why haven't I met my dad? Where did we come from? Who am I?

Damon must look within himself, mend the bond with his mother, and rely on new friends to find the answers he so desperately needs. Travelling through time and space, Damon will have to go back before he can move forward.

Cazar o ser cazado

La magia es solo un recuerdo para los habitantes de la ciudad perdida de Lkossa. Y ni siquiera eso para alguien como Koffi, cuyo único objetivo es trabajar para pagar las deudas de su familia y, quizá, poder ser libre algún día. Sus sueños se desvanecen cuando alguien amenaza la seguridad de sus seres queridos. Ese día, Koffi desata un poder que no comprende y que traerá consecuencias nefastas.

Ekon, por su parte, está destinado a ser un guerrero de élite y seguir con el legado familiar. O así era hasta la noche en que, a mitad de un incendio, se topa con el monstruo despiadado que lleva años aterrorizando a la ciudad y con una chica que es capaz de contener el poder de la bestia.

En ese momento, los destinos de Koffi y Ekon se entrelazan para adentrarse en un mundo salvaje y mágico, un lugar en el que los peligros se materializan en infinidad de formas. Ese día, comienza la caza. 

Lo que no saben es si ellos son los cazadores o los cazados…

Rompe las cadenas. Vuelve a disfrutar.

«Siento que estoy a punto de llegar al límite. Si intentar graduarme en una escuela para seres sobrenaturales ya era suficientemente estresante, ahora resulta que el estado de mi relación ha pasado de ser complicado a ser un imposible… Y por si no fuera suficiente Bloodletter ha decidido lanzarnos una bomba de proporciones épicas a todos... 

Pero bueno, si lo piensas, ¿cuándo algo en Katmere Academy ha sido normal? 

No dejan de suceder cosas: Jaxon se ha vuelto más frío que un invierno de Alaska. El Círculo no está preparado para mi próxima coronación y, como si las cosas no pudieran empeorar, ahora hay una orden de arresto por los supuestos delitos que cometimos Hudson y yo, lo que implica una sentencia de prisión de por vida con una maldición mortal e inquebrantable. 

Habrá que tomar decisiones... y me temo que no todos sobrevivirán.»
