El Abecedario
by Federico Reyes HerolesTras la muerte de su esposa, Samuel Urquiaga está solo. En su búsqueda de respuestas, decide escribir un Abecedario sobre el amor. Del autor de Ante los ojos de Desiré, Noche tibia y El abismo, Federico Reyes Heroles. Una misma vida transita por amores de diferente calidad e intensidad. Los amores son presas huidizas, que demandan de quien desea amar y ser amado, un cazador en alerta permanente. Tras la muerte de su esposa Marisol, el profesor Samuel Urquiaga tiene una casa sólo para él, un piano que su amada tocaba y ahora parece interpelarlo en silencio, unas clases que disfruta impartir más que cualquier otra cosa en su ahora triste vida, un par de amigos y mucha soledad. El matrimonio no tuvo hijos, así que ni siquiera ese consuelo le queda. La alegría parece haberse ido para siempre, al igual que el amor, incluso que la mera posibilidad de volver a encontrarlo. El deseo carnal, sin embargo, sigue ahí y Samuel busca satisfacerlo en abrazos mercenarios... pero eso es todo. ¿Le bastará a Samuel para vivir medianamente satisfecho un trecho de vida que se antoja cada vez más largo? A la búsqueda de respuestas, Samuel empezará la redacción de un Abecedario, un glosario íntimo de ideas, nociones y especulaciones ordenado alfabéticamente y que terminará conteniendo cosas tan imprescindibles como Abrazo, Calor, Depresión, Frenesí, Humildad, Locura, Olvido, Sabiduría... Los que deseen conservarse atrapados por la sorpresa constante de los amores, deberían elaborar un abecedario. Samuel Urquiaga, un filósofo amoroso, busca el reencuentro con la vida y nos regala su abecedario.

About a Dragon (Dragon Kin #2)
by G.A. AikenThe New York Times bestselling author delivers &“a welcome high fantasy . . . should definitely please fans of sexy shape-shifters and epic sagas&” (Booklist). For Nolwenn witch Talaith, a bad day begins with being dragged from bed by an angry mob intent on her crispy end and culminates in rescue by—wait for it—a silver-maned dragon. Existence as a hated outcast is nothing new for a woman with such powerful secrets. The dragon, though? A tad unusual. This one has a human form to die for—and knows it. According to dragon law, Talaith is now his property, for pleasure . . . or otherwise. But if Lord Arrogance thinks she&’s the kind of damsel to acquiesce without a word, he&’s in for a surprise . . . Is the woman never silent? Briec the Mighty knew the moment he laid eyes on Talaith that she would be his, but he&’d counted on tongue-lashings of an altogether different sort. It&’s embarrassing, really, that it isn&’t this outspoken female&’s magicks that have the realm&’s greatest dragon in her thrall. No, Briec has been spellbound by something altogether different—and if he doesn&’t tread carefully, what he doesn't know about human women could well be the undoing of his entire race . . .
