Regan è una giovane artista in psicoterapia per ordine del tribunale, che affronta la monotonia quotidiana vivendo nel modo più impulsivo possibile, nella speranza che ogni sua decisione riesca a darle un futuro alternativo ed elettrizzante. Aldo, dottorando in Matematica, è invece tormentato da pensieri distruttivi e trova conforto nella routine e nei calcoli ossessivi legati ai viaggi nel tempo: senza regole ferree, il suo mondo cadrebbe in pezzi. I due non potrebbero essere più diversi, ma hanno una cosa in comune: la loro vita è un continuo adattarsi a uno schema inevitabile. Quando le loro strade si incrociano, Regan rimane affascinata dalla mente brillante di Aldo, trovando un''insospettata bellezza nella struttura e nella logica che guidano la sua esistenza. Lui invece è attratto dalla vivacità e dallo spirito libero della ragazza, e scopre la gioia della spontaneità e dell''imprevisto.I due decidono di concedersi solo sei conversazioni, consapevoli che dopo l''ultima non si incontreranno più. Ma la collisione delle loro personalità dà vita a una passione travolgente, un incastro che a tratti appare perfetto, a tratti esplosivo, e che minaccia di alterare il corso delle loro esistenze in modi imprevedibili.

Ein fesselnder Romantasy-Roman von der Bestsellerautorin Olivie Blake ("The Atlas Six") über zwei rivalisierende Hexenfamilien in New York und eine unmögliche Liebe. Die Antonova-Schwestern sind schön, klug und begabt. Außerdem leiten sie ein nicht ganz legales Familien-Imperium, das die besten magischen Drogen herstellt, die in New York zu bekommen sind. Ihre Gegner in Crime sind die einflussreichen Fedorov-Brüder, die ihnen die Herrschaft um die Straße streitig machen. Immerhin: Ein Vernunftfrieden zwischen den beiden Familien sorgt dafür, dass in Manhattan seit zwölf Jahren ein prekäres Gleichgewicht herrscht. Deshalb ist es mehr als unglücklich, dass der jüngste Fedorov und die jüngste Antonova Gefühle füreinander entwickeln. Denn was für Lev und Sasha Liebe auf den ersten Blick und eine herrlich unvernünftige Leidenschaft ist, könnte nicht nur innerhalb der Familien zu Komplikationen führen, sondern ganz New York zum Schauplatz einer blutigen Fehde machen. Mit sechs Original-Illustrationen von Little Chmura. Für Leser*innen von Rebecca F. Kuang, V.E. Schwab, Rebecca Yarros oder Carissa Broadbent.

An explosive return to the library leaves the six Alexandrians vulnerable to the lethal terms of their recruitment. Old alliances quickly fracture as the initiates take opposing strategies as to how to deal with the deadly bargain they have so far failed to uphold. Those who remain with the archives wrestle with the ethics of their astronomical abilities, while elsewhere, an unlikely pair from the Society cohort partner to influence politics on a global stage. And still the outside world mobilizes to destroy them, while the Caretaker himself, Atlas Blakely, may yet succeed with a plan foreseen to have world-ending stakes. It''s a race to survive as the six Society recruits are faced with the question of what they''re willing to betray for limitless power―and who will be destroyed along the way.

Viola Marek is a struggling real estate agent, and a vampire. But her biggest problem currently is that the house she needs to sell is haunted. The ghost haunting the mansion has been murdered, and until he can solve the mystery of how he died, he refuses to move on. Fox D''Mora is a medium, and though he is also most-definitely a shameless fraud, he isn''t entirely without his uses―seeing as he''s actually the godson of Death. When Viola seeks out Fox to help her with the ghost infestation, he becomes inextricably involved in a quest that neither he nor Vi expects (or wants). But with the help of an unruly poltergeist, a demonic personal trainer, a sharp-voiced angel, a love-stricken reaper, and a few mindfulness-practicing creatures, Vi and Fox soon discover the difference between a mysterious lost love and an annoying dead body isn''t nearly as distinct as they thought.

Hay un juego al que los inmortales juegan. Solo hay una regla: no perder. Viola Marek es una agente inmobiliaria en apuros y una vampira. Pero, en estos momentos, su mayor problema es que la casa que necesita vender está encantada. El fantasma que la habita pertenece a alguien que murió asesinado, y hasta que consiga resolver el misterio de cómo murió, se niega a abandonarla. Fox D’Mora es médium, y a pesar de que, con toda probabilidad, es un vergonzoso fraude, no está del todo exento de utilidad, ya que en realidad es el ahijado de la Muerte. Cuando Viola busca a Fox para que la ayude con el fantasma de la mansión, él se ve involucrado en una búsqueda que ni él ni Vi esperan (o desean). Pero con la ayuda de un poltergeist rebelde, un entrenador personal demoníaco, un ángel de voz aguda, una parca enamorada y algunas criaturas que practican la atención plena, Vi y Fox pronto descubren que la diferencia entre un misterioso amor perdido y un molesto cuerpo sin vida en realidad no es diferente a lo que pensaban.

Conto extra da série best-seller A sociedade de Atlas traz mãe traiçoeira de Gideon em uma viagem pelo reino dos sonhos e uma decisão que mudará o destino da Sociedade Alexandrina Na série best-seller de Olivie Blake, Nico de Varona é um dos mágicos mais poderosos da Sociedade Alexandrina, um lugar misterioso e traiçoeiro comandado por Atlas Blakely. Muitos foram os motivos que o levaram a aceitar o convite para participar do jogo incendiário e perigoso promovido pela instituição, mas o principal foi ajudar Gideon Brake, amigo por quem é apaixonado, a se livrar das garras da mãe, Eilif, uma sereia vigarista e poderosa que não se cansa de se aproveitar do filho. No conto extra de O paradoxo de Atlas, segundo livro da série, viajamos com Eilif pelo reino dos sonhos. Em sua busca incessante por Gideon, Eilif se depara com uma criatura gorgolejante e sem forma que ela atribui a um de seus principais empregadores, o Príncipe, uma animação traiçoeira que habita o lugar e que tem uma ligação misteriosa com Dalton e com Parisa — um ser que poderá mudar o destino da Sociedade Alexandrina para sempre.

In modern-day Manhattan where we lay our scene, two rival witch families fight to maintain control of their respective criminal empires. On one side of the conflict are the Antonova sisters ― each one beautiful, cunning, and ruthless ― and their mother, the elusive supplier of premium intoxicants, known only as Baba Yaga. On the other side, the influential Fedorov brothers serve their father, the crime boss known as Koschei the Deathless, whose community extortion ventures dominate the shadows of magical Manhattan. After twelve years of tenuous co-existence, a change in one family''s interests causes a rift in the existing stalemate. When bad blood brings both families to the precipice of disaster, fate intervenes with a chance encounter, and in the aftershocks of a resurrected conflict, everyone must choose a side. As each of the siblings struggles to stake their claim, fraying loyalties threaten to rot each side from the inside out. If, that is, the enmity between empires doesn''t destroy them first.

From Olivie Blake, the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six, comes an intimate and contemporary study of time, space, and the nature of love. Alone with You in the Ether explores what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you''re not broken. CHICAGO, SOMETIME— Two people meet in the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist, undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. By the end of the story, these things will still be true. But this is not a story about endings. For Regan, people are predictable and tedious, including and perhaps especially herself. She copes with the dreariness of existence by living impulsively, imagining a new, alternate timeline being created in the wake of every rash decision. To Aldo, the world feels disturbingly chaotic. He gets through his days by erecting a wall of routine: a backbeat of rules and formulas that keep him going. Without them, the entire framework of his existence would collapse. For Regan and Aldo, life has been a matter of resigning themselves to the blueprints of inevitability—until the two meet. Could six conversations with a stranger be the variable that shakes up the entire simulation?

Sem isso, sua existência entraria em colapso. Ela é uma falsificadora de arte que prefere mentiras a verdades. Para Regan, todas as pessoas são previsíveis e ente¬diantes. Ela lida com o tédio da existência tomando decisões impulsivas, imaginan¬do que uma nova linha do tempo é criada a cada ação. Quando os caminhos dos dois se cru¬zam, eles ficam intrigados pela mente um do outro. Decidem ter apenas seis con¬versas, como as seis pontas de um hexá¬gono, antes de se separarem outra vez. Porém, a colisão de suas personalidades leva a uma paixão que às vezes parece um encaixe perfeito e às vezes um desastre capaz de eliminar qualquer vestígio de estabilidade em suas vidas. Uma leitura intensa e honesta, 0Nós dois sozinhos no éter traz uma reflexão profunda sobre vulnerabilidade, a natu¬reza do amor e a complexidade de nos re¬lacionarmos quando tudo dentro de nós está ruindo.

EL AMOR VERDADERO ES SOLO UNA CUESTIÓN DE TIEMPO Contigo en el éter es una historia de amor contemporánea única que explora la naturaleza del amor, lo que significa no sentirse bien y cómo afrontar nuestras propias fracturas sin dejar de amar como si no estuviéramos rotos.«Una historia de dos personas rotas que colisionan como si fueran cometas. Gloriosa».Tor.com sobre Contigo en el éter CHICAGO, UN DÍA. Dos personas se conocen por casualidad en el Instituto de Arte. Antes de su inesperado encuentro, él es un estudiante de doctorado que gestiona sus pensamientos destructivos con cálculos compulsivos sobre los viajes en el tiempo; ella es una artista falsificadora bipolar que va a psicoterapia por orden judicial. Al final de la historia, nada de eso habrá cambiado. Pero esta no es una historia sobre finales. Para Regan, las personas son predecibles y tediosas, incluida (y tal vez, especialmente) ella. Se enfrenta a la monotonía de la existencia viviendo de forma impulsiva, imaginando un tiempo nuevo, alternativo, creado a partir de cada decisión apresurada.

Sin ellas, el marco entero de su existencia se colapsaría. Para Regan y Aldo, la vida ha consistido en resignarse a los cianotipos de la inevitabilidad, hasta que se conocen. ¿Podrían seis conversaciones con un extraño ser la variable que sacuda los cimientos de su vida?
