But now Ragnarok is coming, and it''s up to the champions to fight in the place of the long-dead gods.

The world is gone, destroyed by human, ecological, or supernatural causes. Survivors dodge chemical warfare and cruel gods; they travel the reaches of space and inhabit underground caverns.

In a city of daimons, rigid class lines separate the powerful from the power-hungry. And at the heart of The City is the Carnival of Souls, where both murder and pleasure are offered up for sale. Once in a generation, the carnival hosts a deadly competition that allows every daimon a chance to join the ruling elite. Without the competition, Aya and Kaleb would both face bleak futures—if for different reasons. For each of them, fighting to the death is the only way to try to live. All Mallory knows of The City is that her father—and every other witch there—fled it for a life in exile in the human world. Instead of a typical teenage life full of friends and maybe even a little romance, Mallory scans quiet streets for threats, hides herself away, and trains to be lethal. She knows it''s only a matter of time until a daimon finds her and her father, so she readies herself for the inevitable. While Mallory possesses little knowledge of The City, every inhabitant of The City knows of her. There are plans for Mallory, and soon she, too, will be drawn into the decadence and danger that is the Carnival of Souls. From Melissa Marr, bestselling author of the Wicked Lovely series and Graveminder, comes a brand-new tale of lush secrets, dark love, and the struggle to forge one''s own destiny.

Though Eve knows she is a Glaistig, and that hunger for sex and death -- preferably together -- runs in her blood, she is determined to keep herself human. She will turn full Glaistig only in the event that she engages in both sex and murder within one month -- and so far she''s managed to avoid both. But staying away from temptation is harder than ever before. A mysterious man -- as seductive as he is dangerous -- has been drugging and taking advantage of girls in the local night clubs and Eve''s determined to stop him, even as she''s finding it increasingly difficult to control her warring instincts around him. When her grandmother calls in alluring mortal to watch over Eve, Eve may be pushed beyond her limits. Can Eve hang onto her mortality when Glaistig instincts run in her blood? Can she keep herself safe and human, both? Two lines are all that stand between who she is and who she wants to be . . . and Eve will need all her self-control not to cross them both.

Melissa Marr returns to the ravishing world of Faerie with a story set between her bestselling novels Ink Exchange and Fragile Eternity. Recently anointed king of the Dark Court, Niall struggles to forge a new relationship with his subjects—and with the former Dark King, Irial, his once-friend, once-enemy, and now possible-advisor.

Aislinn vive con la nonna in una cittadina della provincia americana. La sua vita assomiglia a quella di milioni di ragazze, se non fosse per un aspetto: ha il potere di vedere le fate. Fate malvagie che infestano la città, creature pagane, maliziose e lascive che si presentano in bande a fare dispetti, divertendosi alle spalle degli umani. Aislinn ha imparato a proteggersi da loro facendo finta di non vedere, seguendo i saggi consigli della nonna: non guardare le fate invisibili, non rivolgere loro la parola e, soprattutto, non attirare mai la loro attenzione. Ma quando alcuni esseri fatati cominciano a seguirla da vicino, le regole diventano impossibili da rispettare e lei confessa il suo segreto alla persona più cara che ha: Seth, diciotto anni, piercing e un vecchio vagone di un treno abbandonato come casa, un ragazzo verso cui prova sentimenti profondi che vanno al di là dell’amicizia. Il loro legame sarà messo a dura prova da Keenan, Re dell’Estate e guida del Regno Fatato, che vede in Aislinn la prescelta, destinata a diventare la compagna della sua vita. Per lei diventa sempre più difficile allontanarlo, resistere alla sua bellezza abbagliante, ignorare quella strana e calda alchimia che la scuote in ogni parte. Il cuore di Aislinn è diviso: dovrà fare la sua scelta, in un emozionante conflitto tra amore eterno e amore terreno.

The clash of ancient rules and modern expectations swirl together in this cool, urban 21st century faery tale.

She knows that Irial watches her too, and she resists the pull to talk to the former Dark King, even as she can''t help stealing glances at him. At least Niall isn''t present to tempt her, and their occasional phone conversations feel almost safe.

A balance that someone is threatening to break in order to hurt the new and former Dark Kings. Someone she knows all too well.
