El mundo de Allie se viene abajo: odia su ciudad, su hermano se ha escapado de casa y ella ha sido arrestada. Otra vez. Sus padres deciden mandarla a una escuela para chicos problemáticos. Pero Cimmeria no es una escuela normal: no permiten ordenadores ni teléfonos móviles y los alumnos son, o superdotados, o ricos. Pero, además, Cimmeria esconde un secreto, un secreto que solo comparten algunos profesores y los alumnos de las misteriosas clases nocturnas de la Night School. A pesar de todo, Allie parece feliz. Ha hecho nuevos amigos y uno de los chicos más atractivos de la escuela le dedica toda su atención. Y, claro, también está su relación con Carter, ese chico solitario con el que siente una inmediata conexión. Todo parece ir bien hasta el momento en que Cimmeria se convierte en un lugar terriblemente peligroso donde nadie parece a salvo.Allie tendrá que elegir en quién confiar mientras descubre los secretos de la escuela. Comentarios:«Lo que más me ha gustado de este libro es lo impredecible que es... Hasta la última parte no se aclaraba del todo el misterio e incluso entonces no estaba segura de si lo que estaba ocurriendo era real. Night School ha sido eso justo algo así, que te mantiene todos tus sentidos en alerta pero no sabes hasta el final qué es lo que está pasando. ¡Night School es un emocionante comienzo de una saga que estoy ansiosa por descubrir!»ELEUSINIAN MYSTERIES «Night School es adictivo. Muy adictivo. Me lo he leído muy rápido y al terminarlo me quedé con ganas de más. 451 páginas no han sido suficientes para mí. Por encima de todo, Night School ha sido para mí una lectura apasionante y cautivadora, con grandes personajes y una historia que te mantiene enganchado durante horas. ¡Muy recomendable!»PLANET PRINT «En la Academia Cimmeria hay misterio, asesinatos, algo de mutilación ¡y chicos, chicos, chicos! Y por supuesto una chica malvada... Nada es lo que parece... Night School comienza un poco lento pero pronto despega y no puedes parar de leer con las ganas de saber qué les pasará a los protagonistas de la Academia Cimmeria. Estoy desesperada por poder leer el segundo libro porque el final está lleno de misterio. Creo que la fiesta solo acaba de empezar...»NOVELS ON THE RUN Los blogs han dicho:«Podemos definir Night School como una novela increíble. Entre sus páginas se esconden amor, celos, mentiras, venganza, amistad y misterio. ¿Qué más pedir? Sin duda Night School es una gran apuesta, con una gran historia, que no puedes dejar pasar.»Página tras página «Sin prisa pero sin pausa, Daugherty hace su debut en la novela juvenil con una serie que promete cosas interesantes. A buen ritmo, la autora nos adentra en los muros de Cimmeria, sus normas y sus clases durante buena parte de la historia. Tampoco escatima en detalles con sus personajes. Los alumnos de Cimmeria no caen en tópicos pues cuando menos lo esperes darán un giro inesperado y dejarán a la protagonista dudando hasta de su sombra. Novios y ex-novios, amigas, envidias, cotilleos, ruidos en el tejado y mucha sangre derramada, ¿a quién confiará su vida?»Midnight Eclipse «Recomendada para todos aquellos que quieran leer una novela de suspense y verdades a medias.»La pluma del ángel caído

Travellers' Rest
by James EngeThe story you are about to read features James Enge’s wondrous character, Morlock Ambrosius. Morlock is a swordsman, an exile, a hunchback, a drunk, and a wizard, though he himself would use the term “Maker” and say he is a master of the two arts, Seeing and Making. James Enge’s tales of Morlock the Maker have appeared in Black Gate magazine, in the anthology Swords & Dark Magic, and elsewhere, and Morlock features in the novels Blood of Ambrose, This Crooked Way, and The Wolf Age. In honor of this burgeoning Morlock fan base, and to commemorate The Wolf Age’s status as Pyr’s one-hundredth title, Pyr is issuing a free, exclusive, ePub novelette called “Travellers' Rest.” Featuring a cover by artist Chuck Lukacs, “Travellers' Rest” is an 8,500 word original novelette, written for Pyr, which takes place before the events of Blood of Ambrose. Enge describes “Traveller's Rest” as “a story that's been trying to chew its way out of my head for a while now, and this seemed like a good time to release it as an introduction to Morlock. Also, Morlock’s apprentice Wyrth has a small but discerning fan base, and ‘Traveller's Rest’ gives them a chance to encounter him again.”If you are new to Morlock, it should make a fine introduction to Enge’s creation, and if you are not, you will be pleased to see the return of at least one old friend. Either way, we hope that you enjoy it.The story you are about to read features James Enge’s wondrous character, Morlock Ambrosius.
