Ponte das Almas (Vol. 3 A cidade dos fantasmas)

release date: Jun 06, 2022
Ponte das Almas (Vol. 3 A cidade dos fantasmas)
Da autora best-seller V. E. Schwab, Ponte das Almas é o terceiro volume da trilogia de mistério A cidade dos fantasmas. Embarque na aventura final de Cassidy Black rumo a mística Nova Orleans, a cidade mais mal-assombrada do mundo! Onde quer que os fantasmas estejam, Cassidy Blake parece ir atrás... Ou seria o contrário? Depois de conhecer os fantasmas de Edimburgo e os poltergeists de Paris, Cass acha que está pronta para qualquer tipo de situação sobrenatural. Mas nada poderia prepará-la para Nova Orleans. Uma cidade de passeios fantasmagóricos, tumbas, funerais embalados a jazz, dezenas de cemitérios e todos os tipos de magia. Uma perdição quando se fala de lendas locais terríveis. E esses nem estão perto de serem os maiores problemas de Cass. Enquanto seus pais filmam o terceiro episódio de seu programa de TV sobre as cidades mais mal-assombradas do mundo, ela precisará lidar com nada menos que um emissário da própria Morte. O trabalho dele é simples: levar aqueles que já desafiaram a morte para o lugar além do Véu. Pessoas como a própria Cassidy, que adquiriu a habilidade paranormal de ver e se comunicar com fantasmas após um terrível acidente quase tirar a sua vida. Sempre acompanhada do melhor amigo, o fantasma Jacob, Cassidy descobrirá que para derrotar o emissário, precisará abrir mão de algo - ou alguém. "Explora o significado da amizade ao mesmo tempo que apresenta novos lugares e suas histórias, permitindo que os leitores vivam uma aventura assustadoramente emocionante." - School Library Journal "Mais uma leitura intensa em uma série repleta de emoções e calafrios" - Kirkus Reviews

Existe a Londres Cinza, suja e enfadonha, sem magia alguma e com um rei louco — George III. A Londres Vermelha, onde vida e magia são reverenciadas. A Londres Branca: um lugar onde se luta para controlar a magia, e onde a magia reage, drenando a cidade até os ossos. E era uma vez... a Londres Negra. Mas ninguém mais fala sobre ela. Oficialmente, Kell é o Viajante Vermelho, encarregado das correspondências mensais entre a realeza de cada Londres. Extra-oficialmente, Kell é um contrabandista, atendendo pessoas dispostas a pagar por mínimos vislumbres de um mundo que nunca verão. Fugindo para a Londres Cinza, Kell esbarra com Delilah Bard, uma ladra que o assalta, depois o salva de um inimigo mortal e finalmente obriga Kell a levá-la para outro mundo a fim de experimentar uma aventura de verdade. Magia perigosa está à solta e a traição espreita em cada esquina. Um encontro de sombras Quatro meses se passaram.

Conforme a Londres Vermelha finaliza as preparações para os Jogos Elementais (uma competição de magia internacional e extravagante com o intuito de entreter e manter os laços entre os países vizinhos), certo navio pirata se aproxima, trazendo velhos amigos de volta ao porto da capital. Mas a Londres Preta está gradualmente voltando à vida, e aqueles que se pensava estarem perdidos para sempre retornaram. Uma conjuração de luz Outrora transbordando a vivacidade vermelha da magia, o império Maresh é invadido por uma sombra lançada pela escuridão, o que deixa espaço para outra Londres surgir. E, na esteira da tragédia que se abate sobre a Londres Vermelha, será que Arnes vai resistir? Lila Bard, que já foi uma reles ladra – mas nunca uma ladra qualquer –, sobreviveu e progrediu por meio de uma série de provações mágicas. Mas agora ela precisa aprender a controlar a magia antes que esta seja drenada por seus próprios poderes. Enquanto isso, o desacreditado capitão do Night Spire, Alucard Emery, reúne sua tripulação para correr contra o tempo em busca do impossível. Um antigo inimigo retorna para reivindicar a coroa enquanto heróis tentam salvar um mundo em decadência na conclusão épica da série Tons de Magia, de V. E. Schwab

"Non pregare mai gli dèi che sono in ascolto dopo il tramonto." E se potessi vivere per sempre, ma della tua vita non rimanesse traccia perché nessuna delle persone che incontri può ricordarsi di te?

Tre secoli di storia, di storie, di amore, di arte, di guerra, di dolore, della solennità dei grandi momenti e della magia di quelli piccoli. Tre secoli per scegliere, anno dopo anno, di tenersi stretta la propria anima. Fino a quando, in una piccola libreria, Addie trova qualcuno che ricorda il suo nome. Nella tradizione di Vita dopo vita e La moglie dell''uomo che viaggiava nel tempo, La vita invisibile di Addie LaRue si candida a divenire una pietra miliare nel genere del "romanzo faustiano".

Victor Vale e Eli Ever. Grandes amigos no passado, mas agora inimigos mortais que se enfrentam em Vingança, o segundo capítulo da série Vilões, de V. E. Schwab. Um mês e meio antes, Marcella tinha a vida com a qual sempre havia sonhado. Casada com Marcus, um mafioso em ascensão na cidade de Merit, ela vivia numa mansão e tinha todas as roupas e acessórios que desejava, frequentava as melhores festas e, nos bastidores, planejava com o marido os próximos passos de sua carreira. Sua vida teria seguido exatamente como o planejado, se ela não houvesse descoberto que Marcus a traía. Então, Marcella tentou esfaqueá-lo, mas Marcus era um homem forte, acostumado a matar, por isso não demorou a desacordá-la e abandoná-la para que morresse no incêndio da mansão do casal. Mas esse não seria o fim de Marcella... Cinco anos antes, Victor Vale morreu. Porém, depois do embate com seu antigo amigo de faculdade, Eli Cardale – ou Eli Ever, o assassino de ExtraOrdinários –, Sydney Clarke o trouxe de volta à vida. Mas os poderes da menina tinham limitações, e Victor não ressuscitou exatamente como era. Então, ele passou a dedicar sua vida em busca de uma cura, caçando EOs com poderes capazes de ajudá-lo. Cinco anos antes, Eli Ever foi preso. Após deixar um rastro de cadáveres de EOs, os quais, segundo ele, eram uma afronta a Deus, Eli caiu numa armadilha preparada por Victor. Então, sob custódia de uma nova força-tarefa responsável por lidar com casos envolvendo ExtraOrdinários, ele se tornou uma ferramenta dessa instituição. Com isso, Eli se manteve informado sobre os acontecimentos externos, que alimentaram sua suspeita de que ele não havia testemunhado o verdadeiro fim de Victor. Agora, Merit é o palco de um novo confronto capaz de alterar a balança do poder para sempre. E os caminhos de Marcella, Victor e Eli estão fadados a se cruzar em um encontro que vai definir a vida de todos em Vingança, o segundo livro da série Vilões.

La bruja de near
LA BRUJA DE NEAR NO ES MÁS QUE UNA VIEJA HISTORIA QUE SE SUELE CONTAR PARA ASUSTAR A LOS NIÑOS. SI EL VIENTO TE LLAMA POR LA NOCHE, NO DEBES ESCUCHARLO. EL VIENTO ESTÁ SOLO Y SIEMPRE BUSCA COMPAÑÍA. NO HAY EXTRAÑOS EN EL PUEBLO DE NEAR. Estas son las verdades que Lexi ha escuchado toda su vida. Pero cuando un verdadero extraño –un joven que parece esfumarse como el humo– aparece por la noche cerca de su casa, en el páramo, ella descubre que, al menos uno de esos dichos ya no es cierto. A la noche siguiente, los niños de Near comienzan a desaparecer de sus camas y el misterioso joven se convierte en el primer sospechoso. Mientras se intensifica la búsqueda de los niños, lo mismo ocurre con la necesidad de Lexi de saber más acerca de la bruja (que podría ser más que un viejo cuento para dormir), acerca del viento que parece hablar por la noche a través de las paredes y acerca de la historia de este chico sin nombre. En parte cuento de hadas y en parte historia de amor, la primera novela de Victoria Schwab es completamente original y, sin embargo, dolorosamente familiar: una canción que escuchaste hace mucho tiempo, un susurro llevado por el viento y un sueño
