Una corte de hielo y estrellas
Maas, Sarah J., author.
Feyre, Rhysand, and their friends are still busy rebuilding the Night Court and the vastly altered world beyond, recovering from the war that changed everything. But Winter Solstice is finally approaching, and with it, the joy of a hard-earned reprieve. Yet even the festive atmosphere can't keep the shadows of the past from looming. As Feyre navigates her first Winter Solstice as High Lady, her concern for those dearest to her deepens. They have more wounds than she anticipated-scars that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of their court. Bridging the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin with the later books in the series, A Court of Frost and Starlight explores the far-reaching effects of a devastating war and the fierce love between friends.....

Sabrina y Corina
Fajardo-Anstine, Kali, author.
"With Denver as their backdrop--a place as exquisite as it is wild--a group of Latinas of Indigenous descent navigate their complex lives with caution, grace, and quiet strength. The protagonists of the eleven stories collected in this book compose a mosaic with the common denominator of absence and uprooting in a radically mixed-race American society, marked by structural violence and the breakdown of the family. But there are also hopeful glimpses of sisterhood and a connection with previous generations"--Translated from page 4 of cover.....

El perfume del rey
Bernal Lobo, Karine, author.
There's a dangerous line between power and love. Emily Malhore, daughter of the most famous perfumers in the kingdom of Mishnock, lives a quiet life among the flowers in her garden, her friends, and her tutoring. She never imagined that Prince Stefan would set his sights on her, making her the center of attention of her people and their enemies. Emily will be unable to escape a destiny that will lead her to the depths of an unjust monarchy and to the kingdom of Lacrontte, the home of the man she was taught to hate from a young age and for whom her nation has suffered years of cruelty and lies. Trapped in a power game in which she appears to be a mere trading card, Emily will surpass the limits of her docile nature, question her quest for a peaceful life, and even question the loyalty of her enamored heart to discover who her true adversary is.....

Las cadenas del rey
Bernal Lobo, Karine, author.
In this book we follow the story of Emily Malhore that ended in the lead in the previous volume. If before the protagonist was a na?ve girl who was discovering the power wars between the members of the monarchy, as well as the injustices of the world and the limits to which her trusted people can go, now we will meet a very different Emily. The book begins where the previous one ends: Emily captivates in the palace of Stefan Denavritz, her former boyfriend and new monarch of Mishnock, and with a plan to regain her freedom. However, fate has other plans for her, and makes her an important piece for the peace agreements between nations and the motive that Magnus Lacrontte, her former enemy, will use to manipulate the king of Mishnock. What neither Emily nor Magnus know is that the game in which they are involved, each for different reasons, will lead them to enter a very powerful sexual discovery with surprising results for both.....

Una corte de llamas plateadas
Maas, Sarah J., author.
Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.....

Una corte de alas y ruina
Maas, Sarah J., author.
The fate of Feyre's world is at stake as armies grapple for power over the one thing that could destroy it. Feyre has returned to the Spring Court, determined to gather information on Tamlin's actions and learn what she can about the invading king threatening to bring her land to its knees. But to do so she must play a deadly game of deceit. One slip could bring doom not only for Feyre, but for everything-and everyone-she holds dear. As war bears down upon them all, Feyre endeavors to take her place amongst the High Fae of the land, balancing her struggle to master her powers-both magical and political-and her love for her court and family. Amidst these struggles, Feyre and Rhysand must decide whom to trust amongst the cunning and lethal High Lords, and hunt for allies in unexpected places.....

Las madres
Mola, Carmen, author.
La inspectora Elena Blanco atraviesa el depósito de la Grúa Municipal Mediodía II de Madrid hasta llegar a una vieja furgoneta que expele un olor putrefacto. Dentro está el cadáver de un hombre con un burdo costurón que asciende del pubis al abdomen. Los primeros resultados de la autopsia aclaran que a este toxicómano le arrancaron algunos órganos y en su lugar colocaron un feto. Los análisis de ADN revelan que se trata de su hijo biológico. A los pocos días, aparece en la zona portuaria de A Coruña el cuerpo de un asesor fiscal que ha sido asesinado con el mismo modus operandi. ¿Qué relación existe entre ambas víctimas? ¿Y dónde están las madres de los bebés? Se abre así la investigación del nuevo y perturbador caso de la Brigada de Análisis de Casos. Mientras la relación entre Elena y Zárate se hace cada vez más complicada, todos los indicios los acercarán a una misteriosa organización a la que nadie parece poder acercarse sin morir.....

El hombre del r̕o : Orellana y el Amazonas
Martínez Reverte, Javier, 1944- author.
The Man from the River is the story of a young man that left his native Trujillo for America, thirsty for adventure, fame, and wealth. As a man of arms and letters, his audacity led him to join the expedition in search for the legendary Pa̕s de la Canela and El Dorado, achieving the extraordinary feat of traversing the world's greatest watercourse due to his acute intelligence and his diplomatic abilities. While many saw Orellana as a traitor to his commander, Gonzalo Pizarro, Javier Reverte discovers a character equal to classic heroes such as Ulysses, Achilles, or Hector, for whom he always felt an enormous fascination. And in this tale, he uses historical sources, travel narrative, and novelistic resources to offer readers the portrait of an extraordinary man in whom ambition fuses with anthropological curiosity, tolerance, or loyalty. "This book not only aims to tell a great adventure and help erase an exceptional man's stigma as traitor, but also outline a truthful picture of a conquistador different from all others who participated in the gigantic task of Discovery and Conquest. Besides, I am paying my debt to the biggest watercourse on Earth, the Amazon, river of desolation and excess, where Orellana lost his life and I almost did." --Javier Reverte....

Peligrosa atracción
Vento, Flor Di, author.
"Cuando Adrian Petrov, el asesino más escurridizo y temido de Italia, supo que la hija de su mayor enemigo escapó del tiroteo que debía acabar con su vida, decidió terminar de una vez por todas con el juego. Una nueva identidad le permitió adentrarse en el círculo de la mafia siciliana con la intención de eliminar a Bianca, la única heredera de los Simone. El plan estaba en marcha, todo iba acorde a sus movimientos. Sin embargo, ella no era la chiquilla mimada y miedosa que esperaba encontrar. Lo que pensó sería una presa fácil, se convirtió en una ardiente arpía capaz de encender sus más oscuros deseos. No caer en la tentación era la primera regla en su mundo, pero verla desnuda y enmascarada empezó a alterar sus propias convicciones. Sus ganas por someterla eran tan profundas como el odio que sentía por ella. Bianca era el motivo de su venganza, pero también una peligrosa atracción que podría cambiarlo todo"-- Amazon.com....
