Een sprookjesachtige hervertelling van de klassieker Repelsteeltje. Miryem stamt af van een lange lijn van geldschieters... Helaas is haar vader daar niet zo goed in. Hij heeft het familiefortuin, waaronder de bruidsschat van Miryems moeder, bijna volledig uitgeleend. Bovendien heeft haar vader er moeite mee om het geld weer te innen, waardoor het gezin in bittere armoede leeft. Miryem besluit zelf de touwtjes in handen te nemen en gaat op pad om het geld op te halen dat de dorpelingen haar familie verschuldigd zijn. Als haar grootvader haar vervolgens een zak met stuivers leent, brengt ze die gevuld met zilvergeld terug, om het in te wisselen voor gouden munten. Maar haar talent om van zilver goud te maken levert Miryem meer problemen op dan haar lief is – zeker als ze te maken krijgt met de kwaadaardige wezens die rondspoken in het woud. Hun koning heeft kennis genomen van haar reputatie, en die reputatie wil hij uitbuiten om redenen die Miryem een raadsel zijn.

Spinning Silver
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “One of the year’s strongest fantasy novels” (NPR), an imaginative retelling of the Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale from the bestselling author of Uprooted. NEBULA AND HUGO AWARD FINALIST • NAMED ONE OF PASTE’S BEST FANTASY BOOKS OF THE DECADE • ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Public Library With the Nebula Award–winning Uprooted, Naomi Novik opened a brilliant new chapter in an already acclaimed career, delving into the magic of fairy tales to craft a love story that was both timeless and utterly of the now. Spinning Silver draws readers deeper into this glittering realm of fantasy, where the boundary between wonder and terror is thinner than a breath, and safety can be stolen as quickly as a kiss. Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father’s inability to collect his debts has left his family on the edge of poverty—until Miryem takes matters into her own hands. Hardening her heart, the young woman sets out to claim what is owed and soon gains a reputation for being able to turn silver into gold. When an ill-advised boast draws the attention of the king of the Staryk—grim fey creatures who seem more ice than flesh—Miryem’s fate, and that of two kingdoms, will be forever altered. She will face an impossible challenge and, along with two unlikely allies, uncover a secret that threatens to consume the lands of humans and Staryk alike. ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: The New York Times Book Review, NPR, Time, Tordotcom, Popsugar, Vox, Vulture, Paste, Bustle, Library Journal “A perfect tale . . . A big and meaty novel, rich in both ideas and people, with the vastness of Tolkien and the empathy and joy in daily life of Le Guin.”—The New York Times Book Review “Gorgeous, complex, and magical . . . This is the kind of book that one might wish to inhabit forever.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) “Cool and clever and . . . dire and wonderful.”—Laini Taylor, author of Strange the Dreamer “The Rumpelstiltskin fairy tale has never been as captivating. . . . Spinning Silver further cements [Novik’s] place as one of the genre greats.”—Paste

Cuore oscuro
Agnieszka è una contadina diciassettenne goffa e sgraziata che vive insieme alla famiglia in un piccolo villaggio del regno di Polnya. Su tutti loro incombe la presenza maligna del Bosco, che sta progressivamente divorando l''intera regione. Per mantenere al sicuro se stessi e i loro villaggi dalle minacciose creature del Bosco e dai sortilegi mortali che lì si compiono, tutti gli abitanti della valle si affidano a un misterioso e solitario mago noto con il nome di Drago. Quest''ultimo sembra l''unico, infatti, in grado di controllare con la sua magia il potere imperscrutabile e oscuro del Bosco. In cambio della sua protezione, però, l''uomo pretende un tributo: ogni dieci anni avrà la possibilità di scegliere una ragazza tra le diciassettenni della valle e di portarla con sé nella sua torre. Un destino a detta di tutti terribile quasi quanto finire nelle grinfie del Bosco. Con l''avvicinarsi del giorno della scelta, Agnieszka ha sempre più paura. Come tutti dà infatti per scontato che il Drago non potrà che scegliere Kasia, la più bella e coraggiosa delle "candidate" nonché sua migliore amica. Ma quando il Drago comunica la sua decisione, lo sgomento è generale. In Cuore oscuro, Naomi Novik tesse una storia ricca di colpi di scena, che affonda le radici nella mitologia e nelle leggende dell''Europa orientale e trae forza da una protagonista potente e per niente convenzionale. Un fantasy originale e sapientemente scritto che avvince fino all''ultima pagina. Naomi Novik è nata a New York ma è cresciuta ascoltando le storie della tradizione polacca, di Baba Yaga e Tolkien. Vive a New York con il marito e la figlia. Con questo romanzo si è aggiudicata diversi premi, tra cui, nel 2016, il British Fantasy Society Award.

"Nosso Dragão não come as meninas que captura, não importam as histórias que contem fora do vale. Nós às vezes as ouvimos por conta dos viajantes que passam por aqui. Eles falam como se estivéssemos sacrificando um ser humano e ele fosse um dragão de verdade. Claro que não é assim: ele pode ser um mago imortal, mas continua sendo um homem, e nossos pais se uniriam e o matariam se a cada dez anos ele quisesse usar uma de nós como comida. Ele nos protege contra a Floresta, e somos gratos; mas não tanto assim." Contos de fadas revisitados Naomi Novik introduz um mundo novo e ousado, com raízes fincadas no folclore eslavo, tão cativante e encantador quanto uma fábula dos irmãos Grimm. Agnieszka ama seu lar no vale, sua vila tranquila, as florestas e o rio cintilante. Mas a Floresta corrompida fica à espreita na fronteira, cheia de um poder maligno desconhecido. Seu povo depende de um mago frio e ambicioso conhecido apenas como Dragão para apaziguar a ira da Floresta e impedi-la de avançar sobre o vilarejo. Mas ele exige um preço em troca da proteção: a cada dez anos, uma jovem é entregue para servi-lo; um destino quase tão indesejado quanto cair nas garras da Floresta. A próxima escolha está se aproximando rapidamente, e Agnieszka está com medo. Ela sabe — todo mundo sabe — que o Dragão vai levar Kasia: a bela, graciosa e corajosa Kasia, sua melhor amiga no mundo. E não há como salvá-la. Mas Agnieszka teme as coisas erradas. Porque, quando o Dragão chegar, não é Kasia que ele vai escolher. Vencedor do Nebula Award de 2016.

Un Cuento Oscuro
Agnieszka tiene un don: es capaz de romper, manchar o perder cualquier cosa que lleve puesta en cuestión de segundos. Vive en el valle con su familia y es feliz en su pequeño y asilvestrado hogar. Pero la maligna y retorcida presencia del Bosque se cierne desde hace años sobre todos ellos. Para protegerse, el pueblo confía en el poder de un misterioso mago conocido como el Dragón, el único capaz de controlar con su magia el poder del Bosque. A cambio de protección, pide una sola cosa: cada diez años podrá escoger a una chica y se la llevará a su torre, un destino casi tan terrible como caer presa del Bosque. El día de la elección se acerca y Agnieszka tiene miedo. Sabe --de hecho todo el mundo sabe-- que el Dragón escogerá a Kasia, la más bonita, la más valiente de todas las aspirantes. Y, también, la mejor amiga de Agnieszka. Pero cuando el Dragón llega, para sorpresa de todos, no es a Kasia a quien señala... Un bosque corrupto. Un mago poderoso y solitario. Una joven cuyo poder lo cambiará todo... «No sabía las ganas que tenía de leer un libro como éste hasta que lo tuve en mis manos.» Patrick Rothfuss

NEBULA AWARD WINNER • HUGO AWARD FINALIST • “If you want a fantasy with strong characters and brilliantly original variations on ancient stories, try Uprooted!”—Rick Riordan “Breathtaking . . . a tale that is both elegantly grand and earthily humble, familiar as a Grimm fairy tale yet fresh, original, and totally irresistible.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: NPR, BuzzFeed, Tordotcom, BookPage, Library Journal, Publishers Weekly Agnieszka loves her valley home, her quiet village, the forests and the bright shining river. But the corrupted Wood stands on the border, full of malevolent power, and its shadow lies over her life. Her people rely on the cold, driven wizard known only as the Dragon to keep its powers at bay. But he demands a terrible price for his help: one young woman handed over to serve him for ten years, a fate almost as terrible as falling to the Wood. The next choosing is fast approaching, and Agnieszka is afraid. She knows—everyone knows—that the Dragon will take Kasia: beautiful, graceful, brave Kasia, all the things Agnieszka isn’t, and her dearest friend in the world. And there is no way to save her. But Agnieszka fears the wrong things. For when the Dragon comes, it is not Kasia he will choose. Praise for Uprooted “Uprooted has leapt forward to claim the title of Best Book I’ve Read Yet This Year. . . . Moving, heartbreaking, and thoroughly satisfying, Uprooted is the fantasy novel I feel I’ve been waiting a lifetime for. Clear your schedule before picking it up, because you won’t want to put it down.”—NPR

Het volgende keuzemoment nadert en de jonge Agnieszka is bang. Ze weet – iedereen weet – dat de tovenaar haar beste vriendin Kasia zal nemen: de mooie, sierlijke, dappere Kasia, die alles is wat zij niet is. Maar Agnieszka vreest de verkeerde dingen. Want het is niet Kasia die de tovenaar kiest... ‘Combineert elementen van Harry Potter met Game of Thrones.
