Sangue e Pó
by David Hijón Nayra TavaresApós anos de dúvidas, de suposições e falatórios, por fim se conhecerá a verdade. Antes daqueles dias, aconteceram diversas disputas e guerras, mas no fim, se alcançava algo parecido com a paz, ou ao menos os habitantes de Gaia acreditavam nisso. No entanto, iludido aquele que acredita que a paz durará para sempre, pois a natureza do ser humano é tentar dominar uns aos outros. Só alguém parecia não acreditar no que seus olhos viam naquele momento, o que tanto desejou e almejou. Era a pessoa que segurava as páginas que com tanto afinco tinham procurado, aquele no qual estavam destinados tais escritos. Certamente era seu autor que tinha desejado que essas páginas chegassem às mãos daquele que as segurava agora. Ao menos esse tinha sido o propósito de alguém adorado por muitos e odiado por tantos. Muito tempo esperaram as pessoas de Gaia para saber a verdade, ainda que fosse só uma parte dela. E finalmente conseguiram, pois nas mãos de Indúrinel estava a história de uma vida e de muitas mortes. Uma história cheia de aventuras, viagens, batalhas, amor e traições que prenderá o leitor desde a primeira página. Você se atreve a descobrir o segredo atrás das Portas do Conhecimento?

Santa Olivia
by Jacqueline CareyLushly written with rich and vivid characters, SANTA OLIVIA is Jacqueline Carey's take on comic book superheroes and the classic werewolf myth. Loup Garron was born and raised in Santa Olivia, an isolated, disenfranchised town next to a US military base inside a DMZ buffer zone between Texas and Mexico . A fugitive "Wolf-Man" who had a love affair with a local woman, Loup's father was one of a group of men genetically-manipulated and used by the US government as a weapon. The "Wolf-Men" were engineered to have superhuman strength, speed, sensory capability, stamina, and a total lack of fear, and Loup, named for and sharing her father's wolf-like qualities, is marked as an outsider. After her mother dies, Loup goes to live among the misfit orphans at the parish church, where they seethe from the injustices visited upon the locals by the soldiers. Eventually, the orphans find an outlet for their frustrations: They form a vigilante group to support Loup Garron who, costumed as their patron saint, Santa Olivia, uses her special abilities to avenge the town. Aware that she could lose her freedom, and possibly her life, Loup is determined to fight to redress the wrongs her community has suffered. And like the reincarnation of their patron saint, she will bring hope to all of Santa Olivia.

The Santaroga Barrier
by Frank HerbertSantaroga seemed to be nothing more than a prosperous farm community. But there was something . . . different . . . about Santaroga.Santaroga had no juvenile delinquency, or any crime at all. Outsiders found no house for sale or rent in this valley, and no one ever moved out. No one bought cigarettes in Santaroga. No cheese, wine, beer or produce from outside the valley could be sold there. The list went on and on and grew stranger and stranger.Maybe Santaroga was the last outpost of American individualism. Maybe they were just a bunch of religious kooks. . . .Or maybe there was something extraordinary at work in Santaroga. Something far more disturbing than anyone could imagine.
