Un legado impuro
by Cristina PujadasSiguiendo la estela de Sarah J. Maas y Jennifer Armentrout, Cristina Pujadas nos sumerge en un fascinante mundo de fantasía, intriga y romance. Jade es hija de los Halgboots, una de las estirpes de guerreros Marcados más importantes, descendientes de antiguos dioses que lucharon contra los demonios que intentaron dominar el mundo tras abrirse una Grieta al abismo. Sabe, desde niña, que su destino es convertirse en la esposa del futuro Rey y así asegurar el poder de su raza sobre todas las otras con las que están obligados a convivir. Pero Jade guarda un secreto que no puede desvelar y que podría torcer los planes de todos aquellos cuyo futuro está en que se ciña a su destino. Una mujer. Un linaje. Un secreto. Una guerra. Una fuerte atracción. A veces lo que nos condena puede también liberarnos. «La Gran Guerra. Una pesadilla que acechaba a los más temerosos, incluso si hacía milenios de aquella sangre derramada sobre la tierra de Ar-Umi. Solo quedaban los testimonios de sus antepasados, un legado que muchos atesoraban y respetaban por lo que supuso: un nuevo inicio. La creación del mundo tal y como lo conocían, con las nueve razas que cohabitaban y que provenían de esa raza única que antaño poblaba aquella tierra. Una guerra en la que sus antepasados tuvieron que aferrarse a todo lo que estuvo a su alcance con una única finalidad: sobrevivir.»
El legado infinito: Los Saberes Arcanos I
by Elaina J. DavidsonLa oscuridad se avecina… Dos mundos en dos universos están al borde de la destrucción. Ambos arderán. Un pasado en común, un mágico hilo de luz y una rasgadura en la estructura del espacio los conecta y une sus destinos. Los separa una gran barrera de Caos que amenaza con invadirlos y destruir toda la vida. ¿Alguien allá afuera podrá detener la oscuridad eterna? Valaris se ve amenazada por la bruja Infinity mientras que, más allá de Ardosia, Margus, el Darak Or, busca la oportunidad perfecta para aniquilar al mundo y su gente. Ambos usarán el Caos como su arma de manipulación definitiva. Cuando Taranis de los Guardianes es llamado para presenciar lo que le sucederá a Valaris si Ardosia sucumbe y se somete a la barrera del Caos, comprende que los Guardianes necesitarán la intervención de un hechicero de extraordinario poder. Rayne del Manto, a su vez, viaja a Farinwood para encontrarse con el mago Aven y confirmar los rumores sobre la presencia de Infinity en Valaris. No está preparado para lo que encuentra: niños transformados y listos para asesinar, una sociedad secreta de Hechiceros, la misteriosa huérfana Averroes… y el Medallón Maghdim, una moneda mágica que crea un hilo de luz entre dos realidades. Rayne sueña con una niña de otro mundo pidiendo ayuda y no puede imaginar cómo es posible que esto suceda hasta que conoce a los Guardianes en el Gran Bosque de Valaris. Cuando le enseñan una rasgadura en el espacio, Rayne comprende que ha sido llamado para cumplir su destino… Y en Ardosia, una niña despierta de una pesadilla gritando “¡Todo arderá, papá!” Alguien más despierta: una figura legendaria de un pasado olvidado, creador del Medallón Maghdim, el verdadero gobernante de Valaris y Ardosia. Su momento ha llegado. La oscuridad se avecina.

Legend Lands: Where Legends Go To Die
by Noah BarfieldSome Stories Pass Into LegendsThe cosmos stands on the precipice of something great, something grand; something terrible. In a secluded forest, a man garbed in black knows this, and does nothing; he does not care. Many find themselves there, in that place where legends go to die; they, like he, are alone. He, unlike they, has had everything ripped from him. In a dark and warm place, there is a woman with hair red as blood, who does nothing; she has no idea how to. She is like everyone else: unknown, in danger, and hopeless; merely another forgotten legend who doesn't even remember herself.This is the story of Mister E, of his triumphs and tribulations. This is the story of Scarlett, of her pain and her joy. This is a tale of dead legends, and of how they are not content to remain forgotten, on the edge of the existence. A great unraveling of the cosmos is about to begin, and these ghosts of myths and fables are about to be swept up in a scheme too large to fathom, but they will not submit peacefully.In "Legend Land," things are not black and white; there are no heroes and villains. It is a murky, grey mess where the lines between "good" and "evil" are thin and barely exist. Follow the story of several long forgotten legends as they rediscover what it means to be human, to feel, in a world where having a conscience or dropping your guard can earn you permanent erasure from the fabric of reality. Follow these characters as they decide when to become the hero, or embrace being a villain; as they decide where to draw the line, and when to obliterate it completely.
