From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights and Our Violent Ends comes the second book in the captivating Foul Lady Fortune duology following an immortal assassin in 1930s Shanghai as she races to save her country and her love.Winter is drawing thick in 1932 Shanghai, as is the ever-nearing threat of a Japanese invasion.Rosalind Lang has suffered the worst possible fate for a national spy: she’s been exposed. With the media storm camped outside her apartment for the infamous Lady Fortune, she’s barely left her bedroom in weeks, plotting her next course of action after Orion was taken and his memories of Rosalind wiped. Though their marriage might have been a sham, his absence hurts her more than any physical wound. She won’t rest until she gets him back.But with her identity in the open, the task is near impossible. The only way to leave the city and rescue Orion is under the guise of a national tour. It’s easy to convince her superiors that the countryside needs unity more than ever, and who better than an immortal girl to stir pride and strength into the people?When the tour goes wrong, however, everything Rosalind once knew is thrown up in the air. Taking refuge outside Shanghai, old ghosts come into the open and adversaries turn to allies. To save Orion, they must find a cure to his mother’s traitorous invention and take this dangerous chemical weapon away from impending foreign invasion—but the clock is ticking, and if Rosalind fails, it’s not only Orion she loses, but her nation itself.

Kalpa imperial reúne once relatos, once fragmentos de la historia del Imperio Más Vasto que Nunca Existió.Por el narrador sabemos que el Imperio fue destruido y reconstruido infinidad de veces y que su historia vuelve a empezar con cada nueva dinastía de emperadores y emperatrices. El escenario es siempre el mismo: el montañoso norte, el sur selvático y las ciudades capitales. Las historias son múltiples y diversas. Como la de Bib, el chico esmirriado que pretende refundar el Imperio e inventar un nuevo orden, la del último príncipe de la dinastía de los Orioles y su extraña muerte, la de la huérfana que asciende desde los bajos fondos hasta el trono, la del Emperador Cuarto en las dinastía de los Kiautonor, que manda a construir una ciudad en honor de su amante. Angélica Gorodischer crea un universo ficcional portentoso, absolutamente propio, donde la distopía se cruza con el realismo, la novela con el cuento, la metáfora sobre el poder con el pequeño drama humano. Publicado por primera vez en 1983, Kalpa imperial marcó un hito en la obra de esta gran autora argentina y la convirtió en una referente ineludible de la ciencia ficción universal.

Melchor Guardia Cuader era hijo de un matrimonio aragonés emigrado a Barcelona a mediados del siglo XIX. Empezó muy joven a trabajar como peluquero de señoras en Palma. Su afición al excursionismo y a la fotografía fue aumentando y a mediados de los años 50, tras la adquisición de una cámara Voigtländer en Casa Vila, empezó a prodigarse cada vez más y con resultados extraordinarios. Con esta cámara retrató muchos amaneceres, contraluces y reflejos de calles mojadas. La vida cotidiana de su barrio, los oficios de la calle, los niños y sus juegos, los pescadores y sus redes. En fin, el devenir diario de aquella Mallorca de hace algo más de medio siglo que pervive en los recuerdos de muchos. Dado el gran número de maravillosas fotografías de su legado, y el espacio limitado de este libro, FAM (Fotos Antiguas de Mallorca) ha tenido que asumir la responsabilidad de hacer triaje y elegir una muestra representativa, descartando con doloroso esfuerzo otras muchas y formidables instantáneas del autor.

Set in the same universe as the acclaimed All the Murmuring Bones and The Path of Thorns (one of Oprah Daily's Top 25 Fantasy Novels of 2022), this beautifully told Gothic fairy tale of ghosts, witches, deadly secrets and past sins, will be perfect for fans of Hannah Whitten and Ava Reid.Ellie Briar is the first non-witch to be born into her family for generations. The Briar family of witches run the town of Silverton, caring for its inhabitants with their skills and magic. In the usual scheme of things, they would be burnt for their sorcery, but the church has given them dispensation in return for their protection of the borders of the Darklands, where the much-feared Leech Lords hold sway.Ellie is being trained as a steward, administering for the town, and warding off the insistent interest of the church. When her grandmother dies suddenly, Ellie's cousin Audra rises to the position of Briar Witch, propelling Ellie into her new role. As she navigates fresh challenges, an unexpected new ability to see and speak to the dead leads her to uncover sinister family secrets, stories of burnings, lost grimoires and evil spells. Reeling from one revelation to the next, she seeks answers from the long dead and is forced to decide who to trust, as a devastating plot threatens to destroy everything the Briar witches have sacrificed so much to build.Told in the award-winning author's trademark gorgeous, addictive prose, this is an intricately woven tale of a family of witches struggling against the bonds of past sins and persecution.

Soon to be an original series on SYFY, a gorgeous illustrated edition of a classic novella from the #1 bestselling author of A Game of Thrones―a chilling mystery set on a seemingly haunted spaceship.Featuring fifteen original illustrations, this is the definitive edition of an electrifying tale that combines the deep-space thrills of Alien, the psychological horror of The Shining, and, of course, the inimitable vision of George R. R. Martin.When a scientific expedition is launched to study a mysterious alien race, the only ship available is the Nightflyer, a fully autonomous vessel manned by a single human. But Captain Royd Eris remains locked away, interacting with his passengers only as a disembodied voice―or a projected hologram no more substantial than a ghost.Yet that’s not the only reason the ship seems haunted. The team’s telepath, Thale Lasamer, senses another presence aboard the Nightflyer―something dangerous, volatile, and alien. Captain Eris claims to know nothing about the elusive intruder, and when someone, or something, begins killing off the expedition’s members, he’s unable―or unwilling―to stem the bloody tide.Only Melantha Jhirl, a genetically enhanced outcast with greater strength, stamina, and intelligence than other humans, has a chance of solving the mystery―and stopping the malevolent being that’s wiping out her shipmates.But first she has to keep herself alive.
