New Releases by Marie Lu

Estou cansada de ser usada, ferida e colocada de lado. Adelina Amouteru é uma sobrevivente da febre do sangue. Há uma década, essa doença mortal varreu a nação. A maioria dos doentes pereceu, e muitas das crianças infectadas que sobreviveram passaram a carregar estranhas marcas. Eles são chamados de malfettos. Contudo, dizem os rumores que alguns dos sobreviventes da febre herdaram mais do que apenas cicatrizes - acredita-se que eles possuem misteriosos e poderosos dons, e, apesar de manterem suas identidades em segredo, começaram a ser chamados de Jovens de Elite. Teren Santoro trabalha para o rei. Como líder da Inquisição, é sua função perseguir os Jovens de Elite, destruí-los antes que eles destruam a nação. Ele acredita que os Jovens de Elite são perigosos e vingativos, mas talvez seja Teren quem possua o segredo mais obscuro de todos. Enzo Valenciano é um membro da Sociedade dos Punhais. Sua seita secreta de Jovens de Elite está em busca de outros jovens poderosos, antes que a Inquisição possa encontrá-los. Mas quando os Punhais encontram Adelina, descobrem que os poderes dela são de um tipo que nunca haviam testemunhado. As vidas desses três vão colidir de formas inesperadas conforme cada um deles luta uma batalha diferente e bastante pessoal. Mas todos estão certos de uma coisa: Adelina tem habilidades que não pertencem a este mundo. Uma escuridão vingativa domina seu coração. Assim como o desejo de destruir quem se atreve a cruzar seu caminho. É minha vez de usar. Minha vez de ferir.

June et Day se sont dévoués corps et âme à la République. Leur pays est à l''aube d''une renaissance... jusqu''au jour où un nouveau virus, plus dangereux que tous les précédents, déclenche une vague de panique à la frontière ennemie. La guerre menace d''éclater. June est la seule à détenir la clé pour défendre sa patrie. Mais sauver la vie de milliers de personnes suppose un sacrifice terrible, pour elle comme pour celui qu''elle aime.

Spirit Animals aneb máš také své spirituální zvíře? Conor, Abeke, Mej-lin a Rolan bývali kdysi obyčejnými dětmi. To se ale změnilo. Ve snaze zastavit krutého nepřítele společně procestovali celý Erdas a jejich dobrodružství se nyní blíží ke konci. Musí se dostat na dávno zapomenuté místo a porazit prastarého nepřítele, který unikl z vězení. Čtveřici hrdinů a jejich zvířata čeká těžká zkouška. Na to, aby zlo zastavili, budou mít jeden jediný pokus. Pokud šanci promarní, svět skončí v troskách...

June et Day ont échappé à leurs poursuivants. Réfugiés à Vegas, ils rencontrent un groupe de rebelles, les Patriotes, qui consentent à les aider à s ́enfuir. Mais il y a une condition. Prêts à tout, les deux adolescents acceptent : ils savent que, sans les rebelles, leurs heures sont comptées. Pourtant, June doute : et s ́ils s''apprêtaient à plonger le pays dans la guerre civile ? Déchirée entre son sens du devoir, ses intuitions et ses sentiments, elle devra prendre la décision la plus difficile de son existence. Et Day aura-t-il suffisamment confiance en sa nouvelle complice pour remettre sa vie et celle des siens entre ses mains ?

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Legend series I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside. Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites. Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all. Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen. Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her. It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.
