Cast in wisdom (Chronicles of Elantra #15)
Par Michelle Sagara. 2020
"The fiefs that exist at the heart of the city of Elantra are home to sentient Towers that guard the…
world against the incursion of Shadow. But between the fiefs exists the gray world of the border zone. In it, geography changes between one passage across a border and the next. The rules of magic are different there-and yet somehow familiar to Kaylin Neya. When a Shadow escapes, Kaylin must find out how...and why. If Shadows can breach the barrier erected by the Towers, the whole of Elantra will be devoured. It's happened on other worlds. Bellusdeo, Kaylin's Dragon companion, absolutely believes it can happen on theirs. The border zone holds secrets and ancient histories, and people are gathering there in search of its power. Without even understanding what that power is, or why it exists, Kaylin is in a desperate race against time to find those secrets first. She doesn't know who her enemies are. She doesn't know how many she'll face. But she won't face them alone." -- Provided by publisherLa última revelación (Aventuras de Ulises Vidal #03)

"After their return from the Amazon, things have not gone well for Ulysses, Cassie and Professor Castillo. Their account of…
what they experienced in Black City turns out to be so extraordinary that they are branded as fakers and publicly reviled. What should have been a great triumph becomes a dramatic setback. To prove they are telling the truth and get their lives back, they will have no choice but to once again venture into the unknown in search of the irrefutable proof they need. This time, the trail of bread crumbs will lead them to one of the most dangerous, desolate and inhospitable places on the planet...but that will only be the beginning. The starting point of an incredible journey full of action, suspense and incredible discoveries, risking everything to unravel the greatest mystery in history." -- Translation provided by NLSDinosaurios al atardecer (Magic tree house series.

Par Ahmet Altan. 2017
"In Endgame, award-winning author and Turkish political dissident Ahmet Altan has crafted an enigmatic literary noir exploring the ways corruption…
has overtaken contemporary Turkish life. With a dreamlike logic reminiscent of Paul Auster and Graham Greene, it tells the story of an unnamed man who arrives in a small town only to find himself involved in a mystery with existential implications (The Washington Post). The protagonist, a womanizing writer who lived his entire life in the city, retires to a sunbaked Turkish village to enjoy the quiet. Instead, he encounters a world of suspicion, paranoia, and violence. The town's mayor is both his only ally and his greatest nemesis; his lover shares an ambiguous past with the mayor; the locals seem hell-bent on turning him into a murderer; and, he is initiated into the town's biggest secret only to discover this knowledge will become a weapon used against him. All the while, Altan's appealingly untrustworthy narrator transports the reader into a world of lust, ambition, small-town politics, and death." -- Provided by publisherTerremoto al amancer (Magic tree house series.

General Ben Raines has seen his grandfather, and the last of his family, die in the beginnings of the plague that sweeps the world, leaving many millions dead and a civilization struggling to survive and re-build after yet another in a what seems like an endless series of crippling blows. LaDoux, having stayed alone for six months in the isolated Idaho cabin built by his ancestors, realizes that he must get out and find life and hope or he will surrender to despair and death. As he starts traveling, he finds a young woman, Bev, who had been on a Believer mission and who has barely survived an attack by Rejects. The Rejects are a chaotic and violent movement of outcasts who have seen all the destruction and horror of the last few years and have formed a single belief: that there can be no God in a world such as they've lived in. As they travel together, they find love for each other and they have to deal with members of both sides of the struggle and then encounter yet a third faction, the Rebels, who believe that Ben Raines's set of beliefs is still alive and that faith, courage and firepower combined can beat back the evil that threatens to end the world." -- Provided by publisherEnemy in the ashes (Ashes #33)

"Under the command of Ben Raines, the Southern United States of America rose up and crushed a corrupt federal government-and…
then beat back enemy assaults from all corners of the world. But while some leaders surround themselves with lackeys and bodyguards, Raines lives the way he always has. And so, when his small plane crashes in Canada's Northwest Territory, Raines is on his own, with the advantage of a survivalist's skills and a couple of disadvantages, including the fact that he doesn't remember his name. Raines had come to Canada on a hunt for a vicious terrorist organization. Now, they have found him. Without a memory, without an ally, and without a gun, he must fight off the men who shot down his plane-and then face the army behind them. On his own private ground zero, Ben Raines is going to learn fast: that only way out is to make his enemies die first." -- Dust jacket
