La humanidad se enfrenta a una nueva Desolación con el regreso de los Portadores del Vacío, un enemigo tan grande en número como en sed de venganza. La victoria fugaz de los ejércitos alezi de Dalinar Kholin ha tenido consecuencias: el enemigo parshendi ha convocado la violenta tormenta eterna, que arrasa el mundo y hace que los hasta ahora pacíficos parshmenios descubran con horror que llevan un milenio esclavizados por los humanos. Al mismo tiempo, en una desesperada huida para alertar a su familia de la amenaza, Kaladin se pregunta si la repentina ira de los parshmenios está justificada.

Entretanto, en la torre de la ciudad de Urithiru, a salvo de la tormenta, Shallan Davar investiga las maravillas de la antigua fortaleza de los Caballeros Radiantes y desentierra oscuros secretos que acechan en las profundidades. Dalinar descubre entonces que su sagrada misión de unificar su tierra natal de Alezkar era corta de miras. A menos que todas las naciones sean capaces de unirse y dejar de lado el pasado sangriento de Dalinar, ni siquiera la restauración de los Caballeros Radiantes conseguirá impedir el fin de la civilización.]]> 1918 Brandon Sanderson 8417347151 Joaquín Alejandro Nader Fabio 0 currently-reading 4.65 2017

—Xaden Riorson

Todos esperaban que Violet Sorrengail muriera en su primer año en el Colegio de Guerra de Basgiath, incluso ella misma. Pero la Trilla fue tan solo la primera de una serie de pruebas imposibles destinadas a deshacerse de los pusilánimes, los indignos y los desafortunados.

Ahora comienza el verdadero entrenamiento y Violet no sabe cómo logrará superarlo. No solo porque es brutal y agotador ni porque está diseñado para llevar al límite el umbral del dolor de los jinetes, sino porque el nuevo vicecomandante está empeñado en demostrar a Violet lo débil que es a menos que traicione al hombre que ama.

Aunque el cuerpo de Violet es más frágil que el de sus compañeros, su fuerza radica en su ingenio y voluntad de hierro. Además, los líderes están olvidando la lección más importante que Basgiath les ha enseñ los jinetes de dragones crean sus propias reglas.

La voluntad de sobrevivir no será suficiente este año, porque Violet conoce el secreto que se oculta entre los muros del colegio y nada, ni siquiera el fuego de dragón, será suficiente para salvarlos.]]> 1036 Rebecca Yarros 6073909861 Joaquín Alejandro Nader Fabio 0 currently-reading 4.30 2023

Ahora va a revelar la verdad sobre sí mismo. Y para ello debe empezar por el principio: su infancia en una troupe de artistas itinerantes, los años malviviendo como un ladronzuelo en las calles de una gran ciudad y su llegada a una universidad donde esperaba encontrar todas las respuestas que había estado buscando.

«He robado princesas a reyes agónicos. Incendié la ciudad de Trebon. He pasado la noche con Felurian y he despertado vivo y cuerdo. Me expulsaron de la Universidad a una edad a la que a la mayoría todavía no los dejan entrar. He recorrido de noche caminos de los que otros no se atreven a hablar ni siquiera de día. He hablado con dioses, he amado a mujeres y he escrito canciones que hacen llorar a los bardos.

»Me llamo Kvothe. Quizá hayas oído hablar de mí.»

Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; a child is lost in the twilight between life and death; and a determined woman undertakes a treacherous journey to protect all she holds dear. Amid plots and counter-plots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, allies and enemies, the fate of the Starks hangs perilously in the balance, as each side endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.]]> 835 George R.R.

]]> 761575 Dune chronicles captured the imagination of millions of readers worldwide. By his death in 1986, Herbert had completed six novels in the series, but much of his vision remained unwritten. Now, working from his father's recently discovered files, Brian Herbert and bestselling novelist Kevin J. Anderson collaborate on a new novel, the prelude to Dune—where we step onto the planet Arrakis…decades before Dune's hero, Paul Muad'Dib Atreides, walks its sands.

Here is the rich and complex world that Frank Herbert created, in the time leading up to the momentous events of Dune. As Emperor Elrood's son plots a subtle regicide, young Leto Atreides leaves for a year's education on the mechanized world of Ix; a planetologist named Pardot Kynes seeks the secrets of Arrakis; and the eight-year-old slave Duncan Idaho is hunted by his cruel masters in a terrifying game from which he vows escape and vengeance. But none can envision the fate in store form them; one that will make them renegades—and shapers of history.]]> 681 Brian Herbert 0553580272 Joaquín Alejandro Nader Fabio 0 to-read 3.80 1999

Winning means fame and fortune. Losing means certain death. The Hunger Games have begun. . . .

In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by twelve outlying districts. The Capitol is harsh and cruel and keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Sixteen-year-old Katniss Everdeen regards it as a death sentence when she steps forward to take her sister's place in the Games. But Katniss has been close to dead before-and survival, for her, is second nature. Without really meaning to, she becomes a contender. But if she is to win, she will have to start making choices that weigh survival against humanity and life against love.]]> 374 Suzanne Collins Joaquín Alejandro Nader Fabio 0 to-read 4.34 2008

One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the darkeness bind them

In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elven-smiths, and Sauron, The Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others. But the One Ring was taken from him, and though he sought it throughout Middle-earth, it remained lost to him. After many ages it fell into the hands of Bilbo Baggins, as told in The Hobbit.

In a sleepy village in the Shire, young Frodo Baggins finds himself faced with an immense task, as his elderly cousin Bilbo entrusts the Ring to his care. Frodo must leave his home and make a perilous journey across Middle-earth to the Cracks of Doom, there to destroy the Ring and foil the Dark Lord in his evil purpose.

It is 1939. Nazi Germany. The country is holding its breath. Death has never been busier, and will be busier still.

By her brother's graveside, Liesel's life is changed when she picks up a single object, partially hidden in the snow. It is The Gravedigger's Handbook, left behind there by accident, and it is her first act of book thievery. So begins a love affair with books and words, as Liesel, with the help of her accordian-playing foster father, learns to read. Soon she is stealing books from Nazi book-burnings, the mayor's wife's library, wherever there are books to be found.

But these are dangerous times. When Liesel's foster family hides a Jew in their basement, Liesel's world is both opened up, and closed down.

In superbly crafted writing that burns with intensity, award-winning author Markus Zusak has given us one of the most enduring stories of our time.

This time though, the armies of Good and Evil really do appear to be massing. The four Bikers of the Apocalypse are hitting the road.

When House Atreides is betrayed, the destruction of Paul's family will set the boy on a journey toward a destiny greater than he could ever have imagined. And as he evolves into the mysterious man known as Muad'Dib, he will bring to fruition humankind's most ancient and unattainable dream.

But Ender is not the only result of the experiment. The war with the Buggers has been raging for a hundred years, and the quest for the perfect general has been underway almost as long. Ender's two older siblings, Peter and Valentine, are every bit as unusual as he is, but in very different ways. While Peter was too uncontrollably violent, Valentine very nearly lacks the capability for violence altogether. Neither was found suitable for the military's purpose. But they are driven by their jealousy of Ender, and by their inbred drive for power. Peter seeks to control the political process, to become a ruler. Valentine's abilities turn more toward the subtle control of the beliefs of commoner and elite alike, through powerfully convincing essays. Hiding their youth and identities behind the anonymity of the computer networks, these two begin working together to shape the destiny of Earth-an Earth that has no future at all if their brother Ender fails.]]> 324 Orson Scott Card 0812550706 Joaquín Alejandro Nader Fabio 5 4.31 1985
