Goodreads – Amazon

Bound as one to love, honor, or burn.

Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned.

Sworn to the Church as a Chasseur, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou’s, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.

The war between witches and Church is an ancient one, and Lou’s most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than fire. Unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, a choice must be made.

And love makes fools of us all.

Lingua: Inglese
Goodreads – Amazon

The Age of Darkness approaches.
Five lives stand in its way.
Who will stop it… or unleash it? 

For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations―until the day, one hundred years ago, when the Prophets disappeared.

All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world’s salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As chaos takes hold, five souls are set on a collision course:

A prince exiled from his kingdom.
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand.
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart.
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone.
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.

One of them―or all of them―could break the world. Will they be savior or destroyer? Perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, and An Ember in the Ashes.

 

“American Royals” di Katharine McGee

Uscita: 3 SETTEMBRE
Genere: YA, Ucronia, Romance
Lingua: Inglese
Goodreads – Amazon

What if America had a royal family? If you can’t get enough of Harry and Meghan or Kate and William, meet American princesses Beatrice and Samantha.

Two princesses vying for the ultimate crown.
Two girls vying for the prince’s heart.
This is the story of the American royals.

When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General George Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne. Like most royal families, the Washingtons have an heir and a spare. A future monarch and a backup battery. Each child knows exactly what is expected of them. But these aren’t just any royals. They’re American. And their country was born of rebellion.

As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America’s first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. Nobody cares about the spare except when she’s breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn’t care much about anything, either . . . except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. And then there’s Samantha’s twin, Prince Jefferson. If he’d been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince . . . but two very different girls are vying to capture his heart.

The duty. The intrigue. The Crown. New York Times bestselling author Katharine McGee imagines an alternate version of the modern world, one where the glittering age of monarchies has not yet faded–and where love is still powerful enough to change the course of history.

For as long as she can remember, Tova has lived among the Svell, the people who found her washed ashore as a child and use her for her gift as a Truthtongue. Her own home and clan are long-faded memories, but the sacred symbols and staves inked over every inch of her skin mark her as one who can cast the rune stones and see into the future. She has found a fragile place among those who fear her, but when two clans to the east bury their age-old blood feud and join together as one, her world is dangerously close to collapse.

For the first time in generations, the leaders of the Svell are divided. Should they maintain peace or go to war with the allied clans to protect their newfound power? And when their chieftain looks to Tova to cast the stones, she sets into motion a series of events that will not only change the landscape of the mainland forever but will give her something she believed she could never have again—a home.

Some legends never die…

Traveling with her treasure-hunting father has always been a dream for Theodora. She’s read every book in his library, has an impressive knowledge of the world’s most sought-after relics, and has all the ambition in the world. What she doesn’t have is her father’s permission. That honor goes to her father’s nineteen-year-old protégé—and once-upon-a-time love of Theodora’s life—Huck Gallagher, while Theodora is left to sit alone in her hotel in Istanbul.

Until Huck arrives from an expedition without her father and enlists Theodora’s help in rescuing him. Armed with her father’s travel journal, the reluctant duo learns that her father had been digging up information on a legendary and magical ring that once belonged to Vlad the Impaler—more widely known as Dracula—and that it just might be the key to finding him.

Journeying into Romania, Theodora and Huck embark on a captivating adventure through Gothic villages and dark castles in the misty Carpathian Mountains to recover the notorious ring. But they aren’t the only ones who are searching for it. A secretive and dangerous occult society with a powerful link to Vlad the Impaler himself is hunting for it, too.

Uscita: 3 SETTEMBRE
Genere: YA, Fantasy
Lingua: Italiano
Goodreads – Amazon 

Per l’orfana Finn Voy “magia” significa due cose ben precise: un pugnale puntato al mento di chiunque si azzardi a incrociare la sua strada, e la capacità di indossare qualunque travestimento con la stessa facilità con la quale una persona comune indossa un mantello. Perché Finn, oltre a essere una ladra abilissima, è anche una mutafaccia, capace cioè di cambiare le proprie fattezze quando lo desidera. Ed è talmente abituata a farlo, per sopravvivere nel mondo violento e spietato in cui vive, da non ricordarsi quasi più quale sia il suo vero volto. Ma tutto sommato a lei va bene così. Quando però viene acciuffata da un potente criminale con il quale è indebitata, è costretta ad accettare una missione impossibile: rubare un tesoro leggendario dal palazzo reale di Castallan. Se non ci riuscirà, perderà per sempre la sua magica capacità di mutare aspetto.

Per il principe Alfehr “magia” significa la possibilità di sfuggire a una vita che non gli appartiene. Dopo la morte del fratello maggiore Dezmin, infatti, il ragazzo è diventato l’erede al trono, anche se è ciò che meno desidera al mondo. Tormentato dal dolore per la sua perdita, Alfie è disposto a tutto per riportare in vita il fratello, anche se questo significa inoltrarsi nel sentiero proibito della magia nera.

Ma la magia può essere anche qualcosa di terribile e spaventoso, come l’antico e terribile potere che Finn e Alfie liberano inavvertitamente e che diventa subito una minaccia per il mondo intero. Con il destino del regno di Castellan nelle loro mani, i due dovranno superare le loro differenze e allearsi per rimediare al loro errore.

The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap off the page, as skillfully animated as necromantic skeletons. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won’t set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon’s sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

Of course, some things are better left dead.

Paxton aveva grandi programmi per il futuro: da inventore a tempo perso sognava di trasformarsi in imprenditore. Ma proprio quando l’obiettivo sembrava a portata di mano la grande occasione è sfumata. Tutta colpa di “Cloud”, la mega-corporation leader nella distribuzione e fabbricazione di prodotti di ogni genere – dai libri agli apriscatole – che in due decenni di politiche ultra-aggressive ha conquistato il mercato globale. A Paxton, scornato, al verde, e costretto a cedere il suo promettente brevetto proprio alla Cloud, non resta che scendere a patti con il nemico, sottoponendosi a uno straniante processo di selezione e accettando di trasferirsi nella MotherCloud: l’avveniristica cittadella in cui gli impiegati del colosso dell’e-commerce abitano e lavorano in perfetta armonia. Anche Zinnia, ex professoressa, è fresca di assunzione. Peccato che dietro la facciata di impiegata solerte nasconda intenzioni pericolose. Perché Zinnia è una spia per conto di misteriosi mandanti, incaricata di colpire Cloud dritto al cuore, eliminando il suo fondatore, il vecchio, venerabile mister Gibson. Quando i destini di Paxton e Zinnia si scoprono indissolubilmente legati forse è già troppo tardi. Troppo tardi per chiudere gli occhi sulla realtà di un mondo caduto ostaggio dell’avidità e del cinismo di pochi. Troppo tardi per tirarsi indietro. Troppo tardi per continuare a fingere che la partita sia persa in partenza.

Devi essere abbastanza forte da colpire e colpire e colpire ancora senza stancarti.

Inoltre, qualcuno di molto vicino alla ragazza sta per tradirla, minacciando la sua vita e quella di chiunque lei ami.

Venuta a conoscenza del pericolo imminente, Jude, sempre in lotta coi suoi sentimenti per Cardan, si lancia alla ricerca del traditore…
