The Republic of Salt (The Mirror Realm Cycle #2)
by Ariel KaplanIn this riveting sequel to The Pomegranate Gate, Toba, Naftaly, and their allies must defend a city under siege—while the desperate deals they&’ve made begin to unravel around them. After a near-disastrous confrontation with La Caceria, Toba and Asmel are trapped on the human side of the gate, pursued by the Courser and a possessed Inquisitor. In the Mazik world, Naftaly&’s visions are getting worse, predicting the prosperous gate city of Zayit in flames and overrun by La Caceria. Zayit is notorious for its trade in salt, a substance toxic to the near-immortal Maziks; if the Cacador can control the salt, he will be nearly unstoppable. But the stolen killstone, the key to the Cacador&’s destruction, could eliminate the threat—if only Barsilay could find and use it. Deadly allies and even more dangerous bargains might be the only path to resist La Caceria&’s ruthless conquest of both the mortal world and the Maziks&’, but the cost is steep and the threat is near. A twisty, clever entry in The Mirror Realm Cycle, The Republic of Salt asks what personal morals weigh in the face of widespread danger and how best to care for one another.
The Republic of Thieves (Gentleman Bastard #3)
by Scott Lynch"A bright new voice in the fantasy genre" (George R. R. Martin), acclaimed author Scott Lynch continues to astound and entertain with his thrillingly inventive, wickedly funny, suspense-filled adventures featuring con artist extraordinaire Locke Lamora. And The Republic of Thieves is his most captivating novel yet. With what should have been the greatest heist of their career gone spectacularly sour, Locke and his trusted partner, Jean, have barely escaped with their lives. Or at least Jean has. But Locke is slowly succumbing to a deadly poison that no alchemist or physiker can cure. Yet just as the end is near, a mysterious Bondsmage offers Locke an opportunity that will either save him or finish him off once and for all. Magi political elections are imminent, and the factions are in need of a pawn. If Locke agrees to play the role, sorcery will be used to purge the venom from his body--though the process will be so excruciating he may well wish for death. Locke is opposed, but two factors cause his will to crumble: Jean's imploring--and the Bondsmage's mention of a woman from Locke's past: Sabetha. She is the love of his life, his equal in skill and wit, and now, his greatest rival. Locke was smitten with Sabetha from his first glimpse of her as a young fellow orphan and thief-in-training. But after a tumultuous courtship, Sabetha broke away. Now they will reunite in yet another clash of wills. For faced with his one and only match in both love and trickery, Locke must choose whether to fight Sabetha--or to woo her. It is a decision on which both their lives may depend. Praise for Scott Lynch's Red Seas Under Red Skies "Lynch hasn't merely imagined a far-off world, he's created it, put it all down on paper--the smells, the sounds, the people, the feel of the place. The novel is a virtuoso performance, and sf/fantasy fans will gobble it up."--Booklist (starred review) "Red Seas Under Red Skies firmly proves that Scott Lynch isn't a one-hit wonder. . . . It'll only be a matter of time before Scott Lynch is mentioned in the same breath as George R. R. Martin and Steven Erikson."--Fantasy Book Critic "Grand, grandiose, grandiloquent . . . No critic is likely to fault Lynch in his overflowing qualities of inventiveness, audacious draftsmanship, and sympathetic characterization."--Locus "The kind of witty romp that reminds you exactly how much fun heroic fantasy is supposed to be."--SFX

Réquiem (La era de los Místicos #Volumen 3)
by Adriana González MárquezCuando ya fuiste víctima y héroe, sólo te resta convertirte en villano. Hay una delgada línea entre el amor y el odio, entre el paraíso y el infierno; entre ser mártir o pecador, asesino o salvador...

Y mientras Matheo aprende a controlar sus nuevos poderes, los Místicos preparan un ataque que, de tener éxito, pondrá bajo su poder tanto al Dominio Exterior como a los Dominios del Ónix Negro. Cuando lo que más quieres está en riesgo, no importa que tengas pocas probabilidades de sobrevivir. Es preferible entregar la vida peleando, que pasar una existencia en esclavitud.

Requiem (World Fallen #5)
by Susanna StromA woman with a secret. A man scarred by evil. A collision course with destiny. I’m a pragmatic woman. A soldier. Necessity dictates my actions—look at the big picture, do the right thing. Duty first, personal desires second. Finn Rasmussen is a straight-up hero. Brave. Honorable. Hot as sin. Behind his cowboy charm is a warm heart coupled with a warrior’s soul. I could love this man, but that's a choice I can’t afford to make. Not now. But something far more than friendship has sparked between us. War is coming. The final showdown against a brutal, wannabe dictator. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the survivors of the deadly flu pandemic: freedom or slavery. Timing is everything and this is no time to fall in love. Only Finn doesn’t buy my excuses. Doesn’t want to be friend-zoned until the war is over. Safety and security are never guaranteed and he thinks it's foolish to wait for a time that may never come. He's right. But he doesn't know my secret, and I can't tell him. Duty versus desire. Do I play it safe, or grab happiness with both hands?
Réquiem de los Cielos: Obertura
by Danny NavarreteLa guerra que inició Lucifer en contra de Dios aún no ha terminado. Réquiem de los cielos presenta, por un lado, a un ángel caído, un ser que se atrevió a desafiar al Padre para unirse a la rebelión de Lucifer, y batallar contra sus antiguos hermanos en los mismos prados del Paraíso. Sin embargo esta guerra lo arrastra a él y a un tercio de los Coros Celestiales a la desgracia y el exilio en el mundo terrenal. Desde ahí comenzará a planear su venganza y centrará sus esfuerzos en seducir y atacar a los humanos hasta adquirir el poder suficiente que le permita llevar a cabo su venganza. Por otro, a Linda, o Almendra Lyon, da igual, porque ninguno es su verdadero nombre, sino su seudónimo, una tímida escritora y periodista que trabaja en Santiago de Chile. Al leer un libro que le ha regalado su hermano, Almendra tiene una idea para su próxima publicación, un trabajo que requerirá de ciertas investigaciones que la llevarán a adentrarse en un mundo desconocido para ella. Para hacerlo, se contactará con un enigmático personaje que la arrastrará a un ascendente espiral de terror y seducción. Cuando al fin sus historias se crucen, uno se verá enfrentado a la incertidumbre de proseguir con su batalla o dejarse llevar por sus sentimientos, y la otra por lanzarse a la aventura o hacerle caso a la voz de alarma que le pide a gritos que huya. Esta novela pasa de ser una profusión de deseos, sensaciones y erotismo a intrincarse en algo que se escapa de las manos de los protagonistas. Un libro en el que está presente la lucha entre ángeles y demonios, el bien y el mal, y una naturaleza humana a veces demasiado incomprensible.
