SON TALENTOSOS. SON PRODIGIOSOS. SON LOS HEREDEROS DE UNA DE LAS COMPAÑÍAS DE TECNOLOGÍA MÁS IMPORTANTES. PERO SOLO UNO SE HARÁ CON LA DIRECCIÓN DE LA EMPRESA. Thayer Wren, el ingenioso director ejecutivo de Wrenfare Magitech, a quien algunos llaman «el padre de la tecnología moderna», ha muerto. Ahora, cualquiera de sus tres hijos, dotados de habilidades telepáticas y electrocinéticas, puede convertirse en el heredero del trono de Wrenfare. O al menos eso es lo que ellos creen. MEREDITH, la hija mayor, es una empresaria exitosa y líder de su propia compañía de biotecnología, especializada en la cura de trastornos mentales. El único problema es que su última esperanza para impedir que su exnovio periodista la exponga por lo que es en realidad, un completo fraude, reside en la fortuna de su padre. ARTHUR, el segundo congresista más joven de la historia, lucha por el pueblo cada día de su vida. Y, aun así, puede que su mujer le vaya a pedir el divorcio y todo apunta a que va a perder su campaña de reelección. Sin embargo, la aprobación de su padre, en forma de un asiento en el trono de Wrenfare, podría ser lo que necesita para que no acabe su carrera. EILIDH, en otros tiempos la bailarina más famosa del mundo, lleva cinco años en un puesto insulso como ejecutiva de marketing en Wrenfare, después de que una lesión pusiera fin a su prodigiosa trayectoria. Puede que le falte algún que otro logro en comparación con sus hermanos, pero, si su padre se lo ha dejado todo, por fin demostraría lo que vale. ¿Cuál de los tres Wren se hará con el codiciado trono de la empresa familiar? «Con el humor ingenioso que caracteriza a Blake e impulsada por un elenco de personajes de moral laxa que vas a detestar con todo el corazón, Prodigiosos y talentosos es una combinación perfecta de comedia negra, un vivo retrato del privilegio y el poder y un drama agobiante y cruel. Una novela adictiva de una autora en pleno auge». —AVA REID, autora best seller del New York Times de El arte de ahogarse «La singular voz narrativa de Olivie Blake se pone de manifiesto en Prodigiosos y talentosos: una historia de codicia, ambición y rivalidad que destripa el mundo de las riquezas y el privilegio con un estilo ágil y cautivador». —M. L. RIO, autora best seller de Todos somos villanos

From the New York Times bestselling author of The Atlas Six comes the story of three siblings who, upon the death of their father, are forced to reckon with their long-festering rivalries, dangerous abilities, and the crushing weight of all their unrealized adolescent potential. Where there’s a will, there’s a war. Thayer Wren, the brilliant CEO of Wrenfare Magitech and so-called father of modern technology, is dead. Any one of his three telepathically and electrokinetically gifted children would be a plausible inheritor to the Wrenfare throne. Or at least, so they like to think. Meredith, textbook accomplished eldest daughter and the head of her own groundbreaking biotech company, has recently cured mental illness. You''re welcome! If only her father''s fortune wasn''t her last hope for keeping her journalist ex-boyfriend from exposing what she really is: a total fraud. Arthur, second-youngest congressman in history, fights the good fight every day of his life. And yet, his wife might be leaving him, and he''s losing his re-election campaign. But his dead father’s approval in the form of a seat on the Wrenfare throne might just turn his sinking ship around. Eilidh, once the world''s most famous ballerina, has spent the last five years as a run-of-the-mill marketing executive at her father’s company after a life-altering injury put an end to her prodigious career. She might be lacking in accolades compared to her siblings, but if her father left her everything, it would finally validate her worth—by confirming she''d been his favorite all along. On the pipeline of gifted kid to clinically depressed adult, nobody wins—but which Wren will come out on top?

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.

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.

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?
