Who would want to kidnap him, and why? And who was the extraordinary Graced fighter who challenged her fighting skills, for the first time, as she and the Council rushed the old man to saftey?Something dark and deadly is rising in the north and creeping across the continent, and behind it all lurks the shadowy figure of a one-eyed king ...

Gracia Perdida
by M. Lauryl Lewis Joaquín Domínguez NúñezNo hubo ninguna advertencia. No hubo forma de prepararse. Uno podría pensar que el fin del mundo llegaría lentamente, o estrepitosamente, o tal vez con tanta rapidez que el fin sería una vasta y oscura nada. Uno podría pensar que habría noticias circulando sobre una catástrofe inminente. Algún indicio de cómo perecería la raza humana. Uno pensaría... Fue imposible ver caer la fina niebla azul en el cielo nocturno. Cubrió todo a su paso: casas, coches, los juguetes dejados por los niños en los patios, el suelo. Al amanecer, sería imposible de detectar. El velo de la sustancia tóxica era fino, pero suficiente para hacer el daño para el cual estaba destinado. Cualquiera que tuviera la mala suerte de estar fuera en el momento de la contaminación moriría. Los aviones que volaron esa noche serían algunos de los últimos en volar. La oscuridad de la noche, como siempre, daría paso a la luz de la mañana. La gente se despertaría en busca del desayuno en un perezoso fin de semana. Las madres empezarían a preparar a los niños para un día de juego. Los perros gemirían por salir fuera. Los muertos se levantarían. Zoe ha estado sola desde que era una adolescente, cuando la tragedia se llevó a su familia, y viviendo en un pequeño pueblo remoto, retirada de la sociedad. Su viejo amigo, Adam Boggs, la dejó aún más destrozada cuando se fue a la universidad y dejó de responder a sus cartas y llamadas. Cuando Boggs regresa de visita a la ciudad, ambos intentan reconciliarse. La mañana siguiente provocará un final de la vida tal y como la conocían. Huyendo para salvarse, pronto se cruzan con otros supervivientes. No llevará mucho tiempo hasta que se dan cuenta de que los muertos no son las únicas cosas que hay que temer.
