New Releases by Leigh Bardugo

Ravka byla kdysi mocná země, ale nyní je zpustošena válkami, obklopena nepřáteli a všude panuje strach. Když je regiment Aliny Starkové napaden a jejímu nejlepšímu kamarádovi hrozí smrt, odhaluje v sobě Alina skrytou sílu. Sílu, která by mohla být klíčem k osvobození rozvrácené země. Opouští tak svět, který znala, aby se stala grišou – příslušnicí mocného řádu kouzelníků, kterému vládne záhadný Temnyj. Jenže v tomhle světě nic není, jak se zdá...

Temnyj ovládl Ravku a osud celé země tak leží v rukou zlomené světlonošky, zneuctěného stopaře a pozůstalých členů kdysi úctyhodné magické armády. Oslabená Alina se vydává po stopách nepolapitelného ptáka ohně a doufá, že cestou najde vyděděného prince. Alina bude muset uzavřít nová příměří. Jakmile však začne odkrývat Temnyjova tajemství, odhalí se jí pravda, která změní všechno, co si doposud myslela o jejich poutu a moci, jíž oplývá.

Mohutná fjerdská armáda se připravuje na tažení do Ravky. Aby král Nikolaj Lantsov dokázal nepřátelské šiky porazit, musí zapojit veškerou svou vynalézavost, šarm i svého vnitřního démona. Přesto se neobejde bez pomoci ostatních: Zoja i Nina stojí při něm a jsou odhodlány zachránit svou zemi za každou cenu. Král, generálka a agentka musejí v nekonečné temnotě najít cestu vedoucí k budoucnosti – jinak zanikne všechno, na čem jim kdy záleželo.

Ketterdam är en myllrande hamnstad där allt är till salu för rätt pris och ingen vet det bättre än det kriminella geniet Kaz Brekker. Han erbjuds möjligheten att genomföra en livsfarlig kupp som kan göra honom rikare än han någonsin kunnat drömma om. Men han klarar det inte ensam ... En hämndlysten straffånge. En spelgalen prickskytt. En rymling född med silversked i munnen. En spion känd som Vålnaden. En hjärtskärare som använder sin magi för att överleva i slummen. En tjuv med osannolika utbrytartalanger. Kaz gäng är kanske de enda som kan rädda världen från undergång om de inte tar livet av varandra först.

"Criada nos arredores de Los Angeles por sua mãe hippie, Galaxy "Alex" Stern abandonou a escola cedo e se envolveu no perigoso submundo das drogas, entre namorados traficantes e empregos fracassados. Além de tudo isso, aos vinte anos ela é a única sobrevivente de um massacre terrível, para o qual a polícia ainda não encontrou qualquer explicação. Alguns podem dizer que Alex jogou sua vida fora. No entanto, a garota acaba recebendo uma proposta inusitada: frequentar Yale, uma das universidades de maior prestígio do mundo... e com uma bolsa integral. Alex é a caloura mais improvável de uma instituição como essa. Por que logo ela? Ainda em busca de respostas, Alex chega a New Haven encarregada por seus misteriosos benfeitores de monitorar as atividades das sociedades secretas de Yale. Suas oito tumbas sem janelas são os locais mais frequentados pelos ricos e poderosos, desde políticos de alto escalão até os maiores magnatas de Wall Street. Alex descobrirá que as suas atividades ocultas nesses lugares são mais sinistras e extraordinárias do que qualquer imaginação paranoica poderia imaginar. Eles mexem com magia negra. Eles ressuscitam os mortos. E, às vezes, eles atormentam os vivos. "Nona Casa é o melhor romance de fantasia que li em anos, porque é sobre pessoas reais. O alcance imaginativo de Bardugo é brilhante , e essa história, cheia de choques e reviravoltas, é impossível de largar." – Stephen King"

Galaxy "Alex" Stern è la matricola più atipica di tutta Yale. Cresciuta nei sobborghi di Los Angeles con una madre hippie, abbandona molto presto la scuola e, giovanissima, entra in un mondo fatto di fidanzati loschi e spacciatori, lavoretti senza futuro e di molto, molto peggio. A soli vent''anni, è l''unica superstite di un orribile e irrisolto omicidio multiplo. Ma è a questo punto che accade l''impensabile. Ancora costretta in un letto d''ospedale, le viene offerta una seconda possibilità: una borsa di studio a copertura totale per frequentare una delle università più prestigiose del mondo. Dov''è l''inganno? E perché proprio lei? Ancora alla ricerca di risposte, Alex arriva a New Haven con un compito ben preciso affidatole dai suoi misteriosi benefattori: monitorare le attività occulte delle società segrete che gravitano intorno a Yale. Le famose otto "tombe" senza finestre sono i luoghi dove si ritrovano ricchi e potenti, dai politici di alto rango ai grandi di Wall Street. E le loro attività occulte sono più sinistre e fuori dal comune di quanto qualunque mente, anche la più paranoica, possa immaginare. Fanno danni utilizzando la magia proibita. Resuscitano i morti. E, a volte, prendono di mira i vivi.

»Den bästa fantasyroman jag läst på åratal. Omöjlig att lägga ifrån sig.« Stephen King »Oerhört spännande och beroendeframkallande.« Lacrimamens »Mörk magisk realism med inslag av mord och mysterier. Går knappt att sluta läsa.« Bokkoll Galaxy »Alex« Stern växte upp i utkanten av Los Angeles med sin hippiemamma, upptäckte tidigt att hon hade en förmåga att se övernaturliga väsen, hoppade av grundskolan utan fullständiga betyg och trädde in i en skum värld av droger och missbruk. Tjugo år gammal, som enda överlevande efter ett blodigt morddrama, får hon vid sjukhussängen plötsligt en andra chans: Att börja studera vid Yale, ett av världens mest prestigefulla elituniversitet, med alla avgifter betalda. Men vad är haken? Varför just hon? När Alex anländer till Yale får hon i uppgift att bli övervakare av universitetets åtta hemliga sällskap och deras egendomliga ritualer, en uppgift som ett av sällskapen, Lethe, ansvarar för. Tanken är att Alex ska bli upplärd av sin handledare, Darlington. Men när en ung kvinna hittas död på universitetsområdet samma kväll som sällskapen utför sina magiska ritualer har Darlington försvunnit i ett mörkt hål, och Alex står ensam kvar. Hon är övertygad om att det finns ett samband mellan mordet och de hemliga sällskapen. För hon vet nu att de ägnar sig åt långt märkligare och mer skrämmande saker än vad någon kunnat föreställa sig... LEIGH BARDUGO [f. 1975] är en amerikansk författare. Hon fick sitt genombrott med Grisha-trilogin som har sålt i över 3 miljoner exemplar världen över. Det nionde sällskapet är den första boken i Leigh Bardugos nya serie om Alex Stern. »Jag var helt fast.« Betyg: 5 av 5 Emmas krypin »Mörk, intressant och en riktig bladvändare. En solklar fempoängare!« Diddis boktips »En förtrollande och samtidigt helt övertygande berättelse.« Kirkus Reviews

Jesper non smetteva un attimo di tamburellare le dita sulle cosce. «Qualcuno ha per caso notato che l''intera città ci cerca, ce l''ha con noi o vuole farci fuori?» «E allora?» disse Kaz. «Be'', di solito è solo metà della città.» Kaz Brekker e la sua banda di disperati hanno appena portato a termine una missione dalla quale sembrava impossibile tornare sani e salvi. Ne avevano dubitato persino loro, a dirla proprio tutta. Ma rientrati a Ketterdam, non hanno il tempo di annoiarsi nemmeno un istante perché sono costretti a rimettere di nuovo tutto in discussione, e a giocarsi ogni cosa, vita compresa. Questa volta, però, traditi e indeboliti, dovranno prendere parte a una vera e propria guerra per le buie e tortuose strade della città contro un nemico potente, insidioso e dalle tante facce. A Ketterdam, infatti, si sono radunate vecchie e nuove conoscenze di Kaz e dei suoi, pronte a sfidare l''abilità di Manisporche e la lealtà dei compagni. Ma se i sei fuorilegge hanno una certezza è questa: dopo tutte le fughe rocambolesche, gli scampati pericoli, le sofferenze e le inevitabili batoste che hanno dovuto affrontare insieme, troveranno comunque il modo di rimanere in piedi. E forse di vincerla, in qualche modo, questa guerra, grazie alle rivoltelle di Jesper, al cervellone di Kaz, alla verve di Nina, all''abilità di Inej, al genio di Wylan e alla forza di Matthias. Una guerra che per loro significa una possibilità di vendetta e redenzione e che sarà decisiva per il destino del mondo Grisha.

"The best fantasy novel I’ve read in years, because it’s about real people... Impossible to put down." —Stephen King The smash New York Times bestseller from Leigh Bardugo, a mesmerizing tale of power, privilege, and dark magic set among the Ivy League elite. Goodreads Choice Award Winner Locus Finalist Galaxy “Alex” Stern is the most unlikely member of Yale’s freshman class. Raised in the Los Angeles hinterlands by a hippie mom, Alex dropped out of school early and into a world of shady drug-dealer boyfriends, dead-end jobs, and much, much worse. In fact, by age twenty, she is the sole survivor of a horrific, unsolved multiple homicide. Some might say she’s thrown her life away. But at her hospital bed, Alex is offered a second chance: to attend one of the world’s most prestigious universities on a full ride. What’s the catch, and why her? Still searching for answers, Alex arrives in New Haven tasked by her mysterious benefactors with monitoring the activities of Yale’s secret societies. Their eight windowless “tombs” are the well-known haunts of the rich and powerful, from high-ranking politicos to Wall Street’s biggest players. But their occult activities are more sinister and more extraordinary than any paranoid imagination might conceive. They tamper with forbidden magic. They raise the dead. And, sometimes, they prey on the living. Don''t miss the highly-anticipated sequel, Hell Bent.

A Ketterdam, vivace centro di scambi commerciali internazionali, non c''è niente che non possa essere comprato e nessuno lo sa meglio di Kaz Brekker, cresciuto nei vicoli bui e dannati del Barile, la zona più malfamata della città, un ricettacolo di sporcizia, vizi e violenza. Kaz, detto anche Manisporche, è un ladro spietato, bugiardo e senza un grammo di coscienza che si muove con disinvoltura tra bische clandestine, traffici illeciti e bordelli, con indosso gli immancabili guanti di pelle nera e un bastone decorato con una testa di corvo. Uno che, nonostante la giovane età, tutti hanno imparato a temere e rispettare. Un giorno Brekker viene avvicinato da uno dei più ricchi e potenti mercanti della città e gli viene offerta una ricompensa esorbitante a patto che riesca a liberare lo scienziato Bo Yul-Bayur dalla leggendaria Corte di Ghiaccio, una fortezza considerata da tutti inespugnabile. Una missione impossibile che Kaz non è in grado di affrontare da solo. Assoldati i cinque compagni di avventura - un detenuto con sete di vendetta, un tiratore scelto col vizio del gioco, uno scappato di casa con un passato da privilegiato, una spia che tutti chiamano lo "Spettro", una ragazza dotata di poteri magici -, ladri e delinquenti con capacità fuori dal comune e così disperati da non tirarsi indietro nemmeno davanti alla possibilità concreta di non fare più ritorno a casa, Kaz è pronto a tentare l''ambizioso quanto azzardato colpo. Per riuscirci, però, lui e i suoi compagni dovranno imparare a lavorare in squadra e a fidarsi l''uno dell''altro, perché il loro potenziale può sì condurli a compiere grandi cose, ma anche provocare grossi danni... Finalmente arriva in Italia il primo romanzo della duologia che ha consacrato Leigh Bardugo come una delle voci più talentuose e autorevoli della narrativa fantasy. Una serie ambientata in un mondo articolato e straordinario, il GrishaVerse, dove si muovono personaggi sapientemente costruiti e sfaccettati. Una storia avventurosa ricca di colpi di scena che vi mancherà nell''istante stesso in cui avrete letto l''ultima pagina.

Podaří se jim najít lék na královu tajemnou chorobu? Pokud ne, hrozí, že Ravka padne.
