by Enrique OrtizEL IMPERIO MEXICA TENDRÁ QUE DEMOSTRAR SU PODER Y GRANDEZA ANTES DE QUE SEA DEMASIADO TARDE… Tenochtitlan, 1520. El buen trato que Motecuhzoma ha concedido a los castellanos desde su llegada provoca sospechas entre los mexicas. Como gesto de confianza, el huey tlahtoani entrega varias doncellas de noble cuna a los forasteros para que la armonía siga reinando en el imperio. Una de ellas es Citlalli, joven aguerrida que deberá complacer y obedecer las órdenes de Gonzalo, capitán de rodeleros. Convencida de la importancia de su papel para mantener la paz, Citlalli faltará a la promesa que le hizo a su amado Cuauhtli, un destacado guerrero tenochca de origen plebeyo con quien planeaba huir para salvar su amor. Sin embargo, la paz es solo aparente y muy endeble. Cuando Pedro de Alvarado aprovecha la ausencia de Cortés para perpetrar una matanza en el Templo Mayor, cualquier posible alianza quedará anulada y los mexicas deberán luchar por mantener su hegemonía y su honor.

Labyrinth (Greywalker #5)
by Kat RichardsonJust back from London, Harper picked up some new skills while she was away. But instead of taking the time to hone them, she'd rather focus on what's important. Like finding the two-bit perp who 'killed' her. She's convinced he's a valuable clue in the puzzle of her past and her missing father, as well as a key to figuring out who's trying to manipulate her powers and why. There's just one problem. Turns out the man who "killed" her was murdered himself while she was away. Lucky for Harper, she has an airtight alibi, but that doesn't mean the police are going to play nice. With Seattle's recent surge in violence - thanks to the vampires - she's already under suspicion. Which means Harper has to watch her step. Because finding the ghost of her 'killer' - and rescuing her father - will mean entering into the Grey. And with her growing powers pulling her more deeply into that paranormal world, Harper's afraid she may not be able to come back out. . .
