La vita di Egia a Zurcántida scorrerà tranquilla finché una rivelazione non cambierà la sua vita in un modo che lei non avrebbe mai potuto immaginare. A Zurcántida nulla è quello che sembra. Tutto è nuovo e sorprendente. Non sei curioso di scoprire quale nuovo mondo si nasconde tra le sue mura?
Hunters' Academy - L'esame (Hunters' Academy #1)
by Ivy HearneSopravvivere o morire. Non è un motto scolastico… non così stimolante come “Diamo luce al mondo” o “La conoscenza è libertà” o ancora “Luce e Verità”. Questi sì che sono dei motti.

Si ritrova di fronte a una scelta: continuare a soffrire o lasciarsi tutto alle spalle per unirsi all’Hunters’ Academy. L’unico problema? Se non supererà l’esame, morirà. Un’adolescente con dei poteri che non può utilizzare, una pantera mutaforma che non può – o meglio che non vuole – trasformarsi, un’accademia segreta e il potere di difendere il mondo intero… solamente se Kacie riuscirà a liberare il suo potenziale prima che sia troppo tardi. I fan di Vampire Academy, Shadowhunters, Harry Potter e Dragon School ameranno Hunters’ Academy! L’esame è il primo capitolo della Hunters’ Academy!

No Country for Old Gnomes: The Tales of Pell (The Tales of Pell #2)
by Kevin Hearne Delilah S. DawsonGo big or go gnome. The New York Times bestselling authors of Kill the Farm Boy welcome you to the world of Pell, the irreverent fantasy universe that recalls Monty Python and Terry Pratchett. War is coming, and it’s gonna be Pell. On one side stand the gnomes: smol, cheerful, possessing tidy cardigans and no taste for cruelty.On the other side sit the halflings, proudly astride their war alpacas, carrying bags of grenades and hungry for a fight. And pretty much anything else. It takes only one halfling bomb and Offi Numminen’s world is turned upside down—or downside up, really, since he lives in a hole in the ground. His goth cardigans and aggressive melancholy set him apart from the other gnomes, as does his decision to fight back against their halfling oppressors. Suddenly Offi is the leader of a band of lovable misfits and outcasts—from a gryphon who would literally kill for omelets to a young dwarf herbalist who is better with bees than with his cudgel to an assertive and cheerful teen witch with a beard as long as her book of curses—all on a journey to the Toot Towers to confront the dastardly villain intent on tearing Pell asunder. These adventurers never fit in anywhere else, but as they become friends, fight mermaids, and get really angry at this one raccoon, they learn that there’s nothing more heroic than being yourself. In No Country for Old Gnomes, Delilah S. Dawson and Kevin Hearne lovingly tweak the tropes of fantasy and fairy tales. Here you’ll find goofy jokes and whimsical puns, but you’ll also find a diverse, feminist, and lighthearted approach to fantasy that will bring a smile to your face and many fine cheeses to your plate.
