Los Hijos del Sol y de la Luna
by Matt Larkin Mercedes TalaveraEl Rey de la Guerra lunar entregó a su hija en matrimonio para terminar con una guerra que ha durado generaciones entre las dos dinastías de las Islas Celestiales. El Rey envía a su sobrina Chandi como criada de su hija. Chandi tiene dos tareas: cuidar a su prima, y espiar a los solares. Los solares le cuestan todo lo que le importa, y ahora no quiere nada más que encontrar una prueba de su traición para poder volver a casa. Sabe poco de espionaje, pero la sangre del Dios Luna corre por sus venas y le da poderes que los mortales no pueden igualar, poderes que le permiten escabullirse en lugares donde no debe. Por supuesto que cuánto más los usa, más rápido se convertirá en una lunática. Cuando descubre que un soldado solar la vigila, Naresh, decide devolverle el favor y se convierte en su sombra. Pero mientras él le muestra las maravillas de la ciudad submarina, comienza a darse cuenta que los solares no eran como ella pensaba. Pronto, tendrá que elegir entre la lealtad para con su gente o para con su propio corazón.

The Hike: A Novel
by Drew Magary"The Hike is Cormac McCarthy's Alice in Wonderland--gritty and terrifying but with deliriously surreal twists and turns." --Jeffrey Cranor, New York Times bestselling cowriter of Welcome to Night Vale"It's kind of a more cynical version of The Phantom Tollbooth mixed with a game of Dungeons & Dragons." --Wired, chosen as one of "This Summer's 14 Must-Read Books"From the author of The Postmortal, a fantasy saga unlike any you've read before, weaving elements of folk tales and video games into a riveting, unforgettable adventure of what a man will endure to return to his family When Ben, a suburban family man, takes a business trip to rural Pennsylvania, he decides to spend the afternoon before his dinner meeting on a short hike. Once he sets out into the woods behind his hotel, he quickly comes to realize that the path he has chosen cannot be given up easily. With no choice but to move forward, Ben finds himself falling deeper and deeper into a world of man-eating giants, bizarre demons, and colossal insects. On a quest of epic, life-or-death proportions, Ben finds help comes in some of the most unexpected forms, including a profane crustacean and a variety of magical objects, tools, and potions. Desperate to return to his family, Ben is determined to track down the "Producer," the creator of the world in which he is being held hostage and the only one who can free him from the path. At once bitingly funny and emotionally absorbing, Magary's novel is a remarkably unique addition to the contemporary fantasy genre, one that draws as easily from the world of classic folk tales as it does from video games. In The Hike, Magary takes readers on a daring odyssey away from our day-to-day grind and transports them into an enthralling world propelled by heart, imagination, and survival.From the Hardcover edition.
