New Releases by Roshani Chokshi

Returning to the dark and glamorous 19th century world of her New York Times instant bestseller, The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi dazzles us with the final riveting tale as full of mystery and danger as ever in The Bronzed Beasts. After Séverin''s seeming betrayal, the crew is fractured. Armed with only a handful of hints, Enrique, Laila, Hypnos and Zofia must find their way through the snarled, haunted waterways of Venice, Italy to locate Séverin. Meanwhile, Séverin must balance the deranged whims of the Patriarch of the Fallen House and discover the location of a temple beneath a plague island where the Divine Lyre can be played and all that he desires will come to pass. With only ten days until Laila expires, the crew will face plague pits and deadly masquerades, unearthly songs and the shining steps of a temple whose powers might offer divinity itself...but at a price they may not be willing to pay.

Dewan Langit yang Terhormat. Hai, aku Aru Shah. Oke, aku memang sering berbohong, tapi aku bersumpah tidak pernah mencuri busur dan panah Dewa Cinta. Buat apa remaja sepertiku menginginkannya? Meski di sekolah ada cowok baru yang imut, sih. Ini poin-poin pembelaanku: Ada rakshasi yang menyamar jadi aku! Aku tidak tertarik memanah siapa pun menjadi zombi, menghimpun pasukan, apalagi memimpin pemberontakan. Menjadi titisan Pandawa saja aku payah! Alasan utama aku menulis surat ini adalah karena aku tidak mau menjalani misi dengan Brynne, saudari Pandawa-ku yang baru. Dia galak, sombong, dan tidak terkendali. Aiden juga. Dia cowok imut yang kubilang di atas. Dia tahu aku naksir dan dengan tega menuduhku memata-matainya, padahal aku hanya suka melirik diam-diam! Pokoknya, aku mau protes karena kalian mengancam mengusir kami semua dari Jagat Lain. Kalian tidak tahu rasanya tidak memiliki tempat di dunia manusia dan terus diremehkan—sudahlah, kalian para dewa mana paham. Tertanda, Aru Shah yang sangat keren karena bisa bernapas di dalam air [Mizan, Noura Books, Noura Publishing, Fiksi, Fantasy, Anak, Novel, Indonesia]

Best-selling author Rick Riordan Presents the penultimate book in the Pandava series by best-selling author Roshani Chokshi. Aru and her sisters--including one who also claims to be the Sleeper''s daughter--must find their mentors Hanuman and Urvashi in Lanka, the city of gold, before war breaks out between the devas and asuras. Aru has just made a wish on the tree of wshes, but she can''t remember what it was. She''s pretty sure she didn''t wish for a new sister, one who looks strangely familiar and claims to be the Sleeper''s daughter, like her. Aru also isn''t sure she still wants to fight on behalf of the devas in the war against the Sleeper and his demon army. The devas have been too devious up to now. Case in point: two of the Pandavas'' mentors, Hanuman and Urvashi, have been mysteriously detained in Lanka, the city of gold. Why? The Pandavas need to find them and get some answers before the Otherworld''s magic fades completely in the human realm. Aru''s biggest question, though, is why every adult she has loved and trusted so far has failed her. Will she come to peace with what they''ve done before she has to wage the battle of her life? Filled with wondrous magic, unforgettable creatures, manipulative gods, and laugh-out-loud dialogue, this fourth book in the Pandava series will leave readers wishing they could read the finale right now.

Séverin, Laila, Enrique und Sofia haben zwar den Kampf gegen das "Gefallene Haus" für sich entscheiden können, aber der Sieg war mit einem schrecklichen Preis verbunden. Auf Wiedergutmachung aus, verfolgt das Team die gefährliche Spur nach einem verloren geglaubten Artefakt, das seinem Besitzer angeblich die Macht Gottes verleihen soll. Ihre tollkühne Jagd lockt sie weit weg von Paris nach Sibirien, wo in einem Eispalast dunkle und tödliche Geheimnisse auf sie warten und eine Serie ungelöster Morde das Team fragen lässt, ob ein uralter Mythos doch nur ein Mythos ist.

Aru má ve zvyku trochu si vymýšlet. No – vlastně svým spolužákům lže, jako když tiskne: o svých výletech po světě nebo o luxusním bydlení. Ve skutečnosti žije v malém bytě přilepeném k muzeu indického umění a kultury, kde je její máma kurátorkou. Aru zná všechny exponáty jako své boty, až na záhadnou „prokletou“ lampu, kterou má přísně zakázáno rozsvěcet. Jenže když má příležitost se před spolužáky blýsknout, samozřejmě neodolá...

Returning to the dark and glamorous 19th century world of her New York Times instant bestseller, The Gilded Wolves, Roshani Chokshi dazzles us with another riveting tale as full of mystery and danger as ever in The Silvered Serpents.

Séverin and his team members might have successfully thwarted the Fallen House, but victory came at a terrible cost — one that still haunts all of them. Desperate to make amends, Séverin pursues a dangerous lead to find a long lost artifact rumored to grant its possessor the power of God. Their hunt lures them far from Paris, and into the icy heart of Russia where crystalline ice animals stalk forgotten mansions, broken goddesses carry deadly secrets, and a string of unsolved murders makes the crew question whether an ancient myth is a myth after all. As hidden secrets come to the light and the ghosts of the past catch up to them, the crew will discover new dimensions of themselves. But what they find out may lead them down paths they never imagined. A tale of love and betrayal as the crew risks their lives for one last job.

Aru Shah é uma Pândava. Ela ainda estava tentando se acostumar com esse lance ‒ de ser tipo uma semideusa guerreira ‒ quando o Outromundo mergulhou num pânico completo por causa do sumiço de uma arma celestial. Ao que parece, alguém roubou o arco e flecha de Kamadeva, o deus do amor. E, em vez de o artefato ser usado para unir casais por aí, ele tem transformado as pessoas em Sem-Coração, ou seja, zumbis. Sabe o que torna a situação ainda pior? Aru e Mini, sua irmã de alma, foram responsabilizadas pelo crime. Agora, as duas terão dez dias para recuperar o arco e flecha e provar a sua inocência. Caso falhem nesse desafio, as irmãs Pândavas serão expulsas do Outromundo. Para sempre.

Juntos, o grupo enfrentará demônios e um reino cheio de serpentes... além de descobrir que o inimigo não é exatamente como imaginavam.

Andre bok i bestselgerserien, perfekt for fans av Rick Riordan! Aru har så vidt vennet seg til tanken på at hun er en reinkarnert pandava og datter av tordenguden når panikken bryter løs i Andreverdenen. Kjærlighetsgudens pil-og-bue har blitt stjålet, og i tyvens hender forvandler pilene mennesker til nådeløse drapszombier ... Roshani Chokshi (f. 1991) hadde skrevet en rekke ungdomsromaner før hun kom med første bok i Pandava-serien. Aru Shah og dommedagsdansen seilte rett inn på pallplass i New York Times og er blitt hennes definitive gjennombrudd. Chokshi er født og oppvokst i USA og har filippinsk og indisk bakgrunn.

Aru vit à Atlanta avec sa mère, conservatrice au Musées des Arts anciens et de la Culture indienne. Elle est fascinée par une lampe qui est censée être maudite. Un jour, alors qu''elle tente d''impressionner ses camarades de classe, Aru allume la lampe, et plonge dans un monde magique. La jeune fille a libéré un démon, l''Ensommeilleur, qui réveillera le dieu Shiva pour détruire le monde. Elle apprend aussi qu''elle est la réincarnation d''un des légendaires frères Pandava, et qu''il lui revient donc d''empêcher le chaos. Le compte à rebours est lancé : Aru a neuf jours pour retrouver ses frères Pandava. Et l''aventure ne fait que commencer ... Une héroïne forte et attachante, qui rappelle Percy Jackson.

Aru is only just getting the hang of this whole Pandava thing when the Otherworld goes into full panic mode. The god of love''s bow and arrow have gone missing, and the thief isn''t playing Cupid. Instead, they''re turning people into heartless fighting-machine zombies. If that weren''t bad enough, somehow Aru gets framed as the thief. If she doesn''t find the arrow by the next full moon, she''ll be kicked out of the Otherworld. For good. But, for better or worse, she won''t be going it alone. Along with her soul-sister, Mini, Aru will team up with Brynne, an ultra-strong girl who knows more than she lets on, and Aiden, the boy wholives across the street and is also hiding plenty of secrets. Together they''ll battle demons, travel through a glittering and dangerous serpent realm, and discover that their enemy isn''t at all who they expected.

*AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER* First in a “wildly inventive and wildly representative” (The New York Times Book Review) historical fantasy series, Roshani Chokshi’s The Gilded Wolves follows the exploits of a found family—six societal outcasts tasked with stealing a powerful artifact that can alter their lives for the better, but at the cost of breaking the world. All eyes are on Paris where the Exposition Universelle World Fair is to be held. Hidden among the technological marvels and artistic creations on display is an item of unimaginable power—a Babel fragment that would enable those who wield it with magical Forging abilities over nature’s elements. Séverin Montagnet-Alarie''s birthright was stolen from him. Now, to reclaim his rightful place among France’s elite, he must obtain the Babel fragment for the Order. It is a heist that will require the ingenuity and skills of those with nothing to lose and everything to gain: Enrique, a gifted historian and wordsmith, caught between two worlds; Zofia, a brilliant Forging artist and engineer, separated from her family; Hypnos, a rival aristocrat who needs an ally among the Order; Tristan, an extraordinary Forger raised at Séverin’s side, loyal to his adopted brother’s quest; and Laila, the mysterious dancer and espionage artist who stole Séverin’s heart in a moment of vulnerability he couldn’t afford. But as the dangerous risks of their escapade surge, Séverin finds himself torn between his desire for revenge against all those who wronged him and the people he’s deliberately placing in harm’s way—including the woman he loves and fears to lose... “A masterpiece of imagination.” —New York Times bestselling author Stephanie Garber “Part political misadventure, part puzzle and thoroughly charming, with a band of rapscallions and a string of surprises.” —New York Times bestselling author Holly Black “[A] smart, dark adventure.” —New York Times bestselling author Adrienne Young

Dvanásťročná Aru má vo zvyku trošičku si prikrášľovať pravdu. Možno si aj občas vymýšľať. No, vlastne svojim spolužiakom v škole klame, ako keď sa práši. O svojich výletoch po svete, o luxusnom bývaní, o aute so šoférom, o exotických jedlách... Veď čo jej zostáva, ak chce medzi nimi obstáť? V skutočnosti žije v malom byte v budove Múzea starého indického umenia a kultúry, kde jej mama pracuje ako kurátorka. Aru pozná všetky exponáty ako vlastné topánky, až na záhadnú a „prekliatu“ lampu, ktorú má prísne zakázané rozsvecovať. Lenže keď má príležitosť blysnúť sa pred spolužiakmi... Kto mohol tušiť, aké nepredstaviteľné a strašné veci sa začnú diať? Príbeh mladej americkej spisovateľky Roshan Chokshi vychádza pod záštitou bestsellerového autora Ricka Riordana, ktorý sa o ňom v predslove knihy vyjadril slovami plnými chvály: „Páni, škoda, že som túto knihu nenapísal ja!“

''Als je mijn boeken graag leest, durf ik al mijn oreo''s erom te verwedden dat je Aru Shah fantastisch vindt!'' Rick Riordan De twaalfjarige Aru Shah woont samen met haar moeder in het Museum van Indiase Oudheden. Om aansluiting te vinden op school heeft ze de neiging de waarheid een klein beetje te verdraaien – en te verfraaien. Haar moeder heeft haar op het hart gedrukt nooit de vervloekte lamp van Bharata aan te steken, maar wanneer Aru haar klasgenoten ervan wil overtuigen dat ze geen leugenaar is, heeft ze geen keus. En inderdaad, ze sprak de waarheid, maar daardoor heeft ze nu wel een slapende demon wakker gemaakt die alles en iedereen wil vernietigen. Aru blijkt een van de Pandava-broers van haar generatie te zijn: vijf helden uit het hindoe-epos de Mahabharata. Ze moet de Slaper stoppen, samen met een bedeesd maar moedig meisje dat ook een Pandava is en met een sarcastische duif – en hopelijk ook met een beetje hulp van de goden. ''Aru is een hoofdpersoon die, ondanks haar leugens, zowel vertederend grappig als zelfbewust is ("Misschien droegen superhelden daarom helemaal geen capes, maar veiligheidsdekens. Omdat de wereld redden eerlijk gezegd best eng is."). Bovenal is Chokshi wijs genoeg om Aru het hindoeïsme te laten ervaren, in plaats van het uit te leggen. Met Aru aan het roer, voelt deze achtbaan door de hindoeïstische cultuur nooit geforceerd of complex, maar in palats daarvan als een nieuw soort mythe.'' The New York Times

"Aru Shah é uma garota cheia de imaginação e, para se sentir aceita na escola, sempre aumenta a verdade. Ter um elefante de estimação, ser da realeza, fazer viagens imaginárias a Paris, ter um chofer... Bem, as mentiras que conta não são poucas, mas Aru tem lá suas razões. Nestas férias, por exemplo, enquanto os outros alunos estarão viajando para lugares superexóticos em suas casas chiques de veraneio, ela terá que ficar plantada no Museu Arqueológico de Arte e Cultura Indiana, onde sua mãe trabalha. Um dia, três colegas resolvem aparecer no museu para pegá-la em uma de suas mentiras. E eles não acreditam de jeito nenhum que a Lâmpada de Bharata realmente seja amaldiçoada. Apenas uma acendida rápida, Aru pensa, contrariando as regras do lugar. Daí, nada de mentir novamente na escola... Entretanto, acender a lâmpada traz consequências catastróficas. Sem querer, Aru Shah liberta Sono, um demônio ancestral cujo objetivo é despertar o Deus da Destruição. Além disso, sua mãe e seus colegas ficaram congelados no tempo. Agora, Aru deve dar um jeito em toda essa bagunça, e a única forma de impedir Sono é encontrando as reencarnações dos lendários irmãos Pândavas numa jornada pelo Reino da Morte. Mas como uma garota usando seu pijama do Homem-Aranha será capaz de enfrentar tudo isso? Aru Shah e o fim dos tempos é o primeiro volume da Saga Pândava, série de estreia do selo Rick Riordan Apresenta. "
