Todo lo que Aria intentó hacer para salvar a su hermano y ayudar a sus allegados solo ha empeorado todo.

Pero Aria todavía no puede superar el hecho de que Beru es un traidor a Onen Suun, el único hombre que se atrevió a desafiar a Dag'draath. Beru fue la razón por la que Onen Suun se vio obligado a sacrificar su vida para salvar el mundo. Pero mientras más aprende de él, más se da cuenta de que tal vez la historia está mal. Tal vez las leyendas no eran del todo ciertas. Tal vez Beru nunca traicionó al líder que tanto respetaba. Mientras huyen, en un intento por encontrar una solución, Dag'draath libera un nuevo peligro de su prisión, utilizando la grieta creada por Aria. Si no pueden encontrar una solución pronto, los muros de la prisión caerán, liberando al ejército que encierra. ¿Podrán Aria y Beru encontrar la clave para mantener la prisión cerrada antes de que Dag'draath, el dios oscuro, desate a su ejército de demonios.
Rompiendo el Orden (Rompiendo el Orden #1)
by Catherine KopfEn un mundo donde soñar está prohibido, sólo los determinados sobreviven. Sueños, Creatividad, y Magia-- todos se fueron con una sola orden.

La desobediencia significa la muerte. Se espera que la hija del Vergudo Principal de El Régimen siga sus pasos, pero Calista Knight de catorce años es curiosa de emoción, creatividad, y sueños. No ayuda que esté aislada y sea abusada en el colegio por su asma. Cuando el chico nuevo, Wes, la anima a que deje de tomar la medicina de prevención de sueños y la introduce a la creatividad, una nueva vida se abre para ella. La magia se vuelve muy real, y con los sueños y la creatividad entrelazados, los límites no tienen fin. Pero El Régimen no quiere que nadie sueñe. Calista es una amenaza para el orden. Sólo tiene dos opciones: superar sus propios miedos personales y la desaprobación de su sociedad, o terminar igual de estéril e incolora como las personas a su alrededor.
