La maldición del Nahual: Ha ocurrido un crimen brutal, marcado con la huella de la bestia, en ese lugar de niebla.
by Ramón ObónNo es difícil adivinarlo, ni esperar a que cualquier polícia lo diga. El viaje encontró la muerte porque lo merecía. Ha sido víctima del rencor que vino sembrando en estos lugares. Así que piénsalo bien. No pierdas tu tiempo y regrésate por donde viniste. Existe una maldición en la Sierra Norte que habla de un ser mítico que amenaza a todo aquel que se atreve a mancillar o deshonrar la cultura indígena y sus tradiciones. A pesar de esto hay personas, como el gran empresario Arsenio Martínez de la Barrera, para quienes la tradición y sus leyendas no significan nada: lo único en lo que piensan es en el poder social y económico que pueden obtener a través del fraude, la mentira y el sacrilegio. El afamado investigador RR ha sido asignado para resolver este singular y brutal caso, mucho antes de enfrentarse con el Príncipe Maldito. ¿Logrará RR descubrir cuál es el insólito secreto detrás de esta terrible y antigua maldición que acecha a todo aquel que pone en peligro a sus orígenes?

by Robert RepinoRobert Repino concludes the War with No Name series in an explosive final novel. Over a decade has passed since the ant queen began her apocalyptic war with the humans. In the aftermath, she leaves behind a strange legacy: a race of uplifted animals, the queen&’s conscripts in the war effort, now trying to make their way in the world they destroyed. While the conflict has left deep scars, it has also allowed both sides to demonstrate feats of courage and compassion that were never possible before. And now, after years of bloodshed, the survivors have a fleeting chance to build a lasting peace. But peace always comes with a price. The holy city of Hosanna—where animals and humans form a joint government—finds itself surrounded by wolves who are determined to retake the land. A powerful matriarch has united the rival wolf packs, using a terrible power harnessed from the Queen herself. Soon, the looming violence pulls in those who sought to escape. The war hero Mort(e) suspects a plot to destroy Hosanna from within, and recruits a team of unlikely allies to investigate. Falkirk, captain of the airship Vesuvius, must choose between treason and loyalty to save the city. And D&’Arc, sailing aboard the al-Rihla, learns that the wolves may have triggered a new cycle of life for the Colony, bringing a final reckoning to animal and human alike. Once reunited, the three outcasts begin a journey into wolf territory to face the last remnant of the queen&’s empire. But while destiny has drawn them together, it may destroy them as well, for even love, courage, and honor may not be enough to stop the forces of destruction set to be unleashed on the world.

I thought I didn&’t care, either.Until I met her.Princess Aurora. The last heir to Briar&’s throne. Kind. Gracious. The future queen her realm needs. One who isn&’t bothered that I am Alyce, the Dark Grace, abhorred and feared for the mysterious dark magic that runs in my veins. Humiliated and shamed by the same nobles who pay me to bottle hexes and then brand me a monster. Aurora says I should be proud of my gifts. That she . . . cares for me. Even though a power like mine was responsible for her curse.But with less than a year until that curse will kill her, any future I might see with Aurora is swiftly disintegrating—and she can&’t stand to kiss yet another insipid prince. I want to help her. If my power began her curse, perhaps it&’s what can lift it. Perhaps together we could forge a new world.Nonsense again. Because we all know how this story ends, don&’t we?
