The Bastard Prince (The Heirs of Saint Camber #3)
by Katherine KurtzA young king manipulated by evil hands becomes a champion of justice when a magical pretender to the throne challenges his sovereignty For six years, forces of evil and repression have ruled medieval Gwynedd after eliminating two rightful kings of the Haldane line. Keeping the current young liege, King Rhys Michael, weak with wine, the council of regents and its fanatical allies in the church have been virtually unstoppable in their quest to dominate and destroy the mystical Deryni who share their land. But now a credible threat has arisen: A Deryni claimant to the throne has taken up arms against the cruel oppressors of his magical race. With a mighty army at his command, Prince Marek—the bastard son of King Imre, Gwynedd&’s last Deryni ruler—has challenged the Haldane reign, and Rhys Michael&’s masters realize the young king must be roused from his stupor to confront the interloper. However, the young Haldane monarch is not the malleable, drunken puppet the regents imagine—and when his long-dormant arcane powers are awakened, Rhys Michael will put his own clandestine plans in motion to right the wrongs of recent history no matter what the cost. The fourth trilogy in Katherine Kurtz&’s magnificent chronicles of the Deryni concludes with awesome power in this stirring tale of war, faith, magic, and justice. Populated by a large cast of unforgettable characters, the thrilling history of an alternate medieval world unfolds in all its epic splendor and tragedy, strongly reaffirming Kurtz&’s well-deserved place among the finest storytellers and world-builders in all of fantasy fiction.
The Bastard's Pearl
by Connie BaileyWhen Sheyn, a headstrong young aristocrat, disobeys his parents and travels to the far east, he passes through Kandaar, an isolated country of strange customs. He is abducted, transformed by a mysterious ritual, and sold to a barbarian king as a pleasure slave. When the king is killed by Kashyan the Bastard, dispossessed prince of Clan Savaan, Sheyn becomes Kashyan's possession. The Bastard expects Sheyn--now called Pearl--to behave as an obedient pleasure slave, but compliance is not in Sheyn's nature. Nor does Sheyn's ordeal stop at being held captive by people he considers savages. The Red Temple covets Sheyn as a living gateway to the demon realm and plans to use him to summon the God of Death. Kashyan loathes Sheyn, and Sheyn despises Kashyan, but when the Red Temple kidnaps Sheyn, honor compels Kashyan to rescue his slave, and he starts a war in the process. If they hope to stop the Red Monks from bringing hell to earth, Sheyn will have to accept Kashyan is more than an uncivilized brute, and Kashyan will have to admit there's more to his Pearl than a pretty, arrogant exterior.
Bastille contra los bibliotecarios malvados (Alcatraz contra los Bibliotecarios Malvados #Volumen 6)
by Brandon Sanderson Janci PattersonBastille contra los Bibliotecarios Malvados es la última entrega de Alcatraz contra los bibliotecarios malvados, la fabulosamente divertida serie de aventuras fantásticas middle grade apta para todos los públicos protagonizada por Alcatraz Smedry. Como caballero de Cristalia, yo, Bastille, juré proteger al clan Smedry de los Bibliotecarios Malvados. (Y creedme, incluso los mequetrefes como ellos necesitan que alguien los proteja). Pero cuando ataron a Alcatraz Smedry a un altar de enciclopedias desactualizadas para ofrecerlo como sacrificio a los dioses oscures, llegué demasiado tarde. Y su padre dio la vida por él. Ahora Alcatraz es un mar de lágrimas, así que me toca a mí liderar el ataque contra el asesino de su padre: Biblioden, fundador de los Bibliotecarios Malvados (¡creía que llevaba siglos muerto!). Biblioden ha regresado para llevar a término su plan y conseguir dominar todo el mundo. Va a utilizar los poderes oscuros que ha obtenido con el sacrificio del padre de Alcatraz para doblegar a cualquiera que no esté bajo el control de los Bibliotecarios Malvados. Morir quemado no entra dentro de mis planes, así que más me vale dar con un plan para pararle los pies. Sé que Alcatraz se equivoca cuando dice que no es un héroe, pero, cuando un héroe no está a la altura, es el momento de que el resto demos un paso adelante y hagamos lo que haga falta. ¡El desenlace de la serie middle grade de los autores número 1 del New York Times Brandon Sanderson y Janci Patterson! Reseñas:«Brandon Sanderson es una leyenda.»Alexelcapo, @EvilAFM «Una excelente opción para leer en voz alta a toda la familia. Divertida, emocionante y con un ritmo trepidante.»Nancy Pearl, del programa Morning Edition de NPR.

Bastina's Necklace
by Roscoe JamesThe Galactic League of Planets has a plan to save a dying world, but Princess Anleen and Captain Dirk Roberts have plans of their own! Join them in this rollicking adventure as they hunt for an ancient treasure and find more than either of them was looking for.The plan was simple. Evacuate the entire population of a planet orbiting around a dying sun to a terraformed world created just for them by the Galactic League of Planets. At least it was simple until Princess Anleen of Bastina decided the biggest and fastest space vessel ever built could be put to better use. She needed to recover the key to the ancient map. It didn't matter that the most important relic of the Bastinan people was the good luck charm of an earthling who fancied himself a pirate on the high seas of space and traded in only two things--gold and women. Fair maidens when possible. When Captain Dirk Roberts, ex-Corporate Space Fleet colonel, now independent space freight hauler--a man who doesn't always have his papers or his life in order--seeks safe haven at the doomed planet Aznate, he's only looking for a hot shower, a drink or three at the last spacer bar on the edge of known civilization, and repairs for his ship. What he finds instead is more intriguing than any tale of Blackbeard's adventures and more beguiling than the fair maiden Guinevere of Arthurian legend. From a hijacked ark to a plundered heart to the writing of the final Chapter in the ancient children's fairytale of the legend of Bastina, only Haark, the god of the Bastinan people, knows how the story will end... But that doesn't stop Princess Anleen from trying to rewrite it.
