Como campeones de la justicia, continúan siendo un símbolo de esperanza y valor para todo el mundo... excepto para los villanos a los que una vez derrotaron. Nova tiene una razón de peso para odiar a esos Renegados, y quiere venganza. Mientras se acerca cada vez más a su objetivo, conocerá a Adrian, un Renegado que cree en la justicia, y en Nova.

Como Pesadilla, pertenece a los Anarquistas, un grupo de villanos que están decididos a destruir a los Renegados. Quiere vengarse de esos supuestos héroes que le fallaron cuando más los necesitaba. Pero como Nova, sus sentimientos por Adrian cada vez son más profundos a pesar de ser enemigos... y de que él oculte peligrosos secretos.

Scarlet
Marissa Meyer · 2013
<p><b>The #1 <i>New York Times </i>Bestselling Series!</b><br><br>Cinder, the cyborg mechanic, returns in the second thrilling installment of Marissa Meyer's bestselling Lunar Chronicles.

As Scarlet and Wolf unravel one mystery, they encounter another when they meet Cinder. Now, all of them must stay one step ahead of the vicious Lunar Queen Levana, who will do anything for the handsome Prince Kai to become her husband, her king, her prisoner. <br><br>An NPR Best Book of 2013</p>
Cinder
Marissa Meyer · 2012
<p><b>The #1 <i>New York Times </i>Bestselling Series!</b><br><br>Humans and androids crowd the raucous streets of New Beijing. A deadly plague ravages the population. From space, a ruthless lunar people watch, waiting to make their move. No one knows that Earth's fate hinges on one girl. . . . <br><br>Cinder, a gifted mechanic, is a cyborg. She's a second-class citizen with a mysterious past, reviled by her stepmother and blamed for her stepsister's illness. But when her life becomes intertwined with the handsome Prince Kai's, she suddenly finds herself at the center of an intergalactic struggle, and a forbidden attraction. Caught between duty and freedom, loyalty and betrayal, she must uncover secrets about her past in order to protect her world's future. <br><br><b>Marissa Meyer on <i>Cinder</i>, writing, and leading men</b><br><i>Which of your characters is most like you?</i><br>I wish I could say that I'm clever and mechanically-minded like Cinder, but no—I can't fix anything. I'm much more like Cress, who makes a brief cameo in Cinder and then takes a more starring role in the third book. She's a romantic and a daydreamer and maybe a little on the naïve side—things that could be said about me too—although she does find courage when it's needed most. I think we'd all like to believe we'd have that same inner strength if we ever needed it. <br><i>Where do you write?</i><br>I have a home office that I've decorated with vintage fairy tale treasures that I've collected (my favorite is a Cinderella cookie jar from the forties) and NaNoWriMo posters, but sometimes writing there starts to feel too much like work. On those days I'll write in bed or take my laptop out for coffee or lunch.<br><i>If you were stranded on a desert island, which character from </i>Cinder<i> would you want with you?</i><br>Cinder, definitely! She has an internet connection in her brain, complete with the ability to send and receive comms (which are similar to e-mails). We'd just have enough time to enjoy some fresh coconut before we were rescued. <br><i>The next book in the Lunar Chronicles is called </i>Scarlet<i>, and is about Little Red Riding Hood. What is appealing to you most about this character as you work on the book?</i><br>Scarlet is awesome—she's very independent, a bit temperamental, and has an outspokenness that tends to get her in trouble sometimes. She was raised by her grandmother, an ex-military pilot who now owns a small farm in southern France, who not only taught Scarlet how to fly a spaceship and shoot a gun, but also to have a healthy respect and appreciation for nature. I guess that's a lot of things that appeal to me about her, but she's been a really fun character to write! (The two leading men in Scarlet, Wolf and Captain Thorne, aren't half bad either.)</p>

Laberinto en llamas
Rick Riordan · 2018
<p>Antes era el glorioso dios Apolo. <br> Ahora es Lester, un simple mortal.</p> <p> <p> <b>No te pierdas el tercer libro de la saga más espectacular de Rick Riordan: #LasPruebasDeApolo.</b> </p> <p>Con la ayuda de algunos amigos semidioses, Lester ha conseguido sobrevivir a las dos primeras pruebas: una en el Campamento Mestizo y la otra en Indianápolis, donde Meg recibió la profecía oscura. Las palabras que pronunció sentada en el Trono de la Memoria revelaron que un dream team de tres emperadores romanos supervillanos planea atacar el Campamento Júpiter.</p> <p>Mientras Leo vuela a toda velocidad para alertar a los miembros del Campamento del peligro inminente , Lester y Meg deberán cruzar el Laberinto para encontrar al tercer emperador (y a un Oráculo que habla con juegos de palabras) en algún punto de suroeste de América. Por suerte, había un verso en la profecía que les da un poco de esperanza: Solo el guía ungulado sabe cómo no perderse. Está claro que van a tener un sátiro que les acompañe y Meg sabe exactamente a quién tiene que pedir este favor.</p> <p> <b>Sobre <i>Las pruebas de Apolo </i>se ha dicho:</b> <br> «Lo peor de terminar de leer un libro de Rick Riordan es tener que esperar meses hasta el siguiente; gracias a los dioses que ha empezado a publicar dos libros al año , y solo nos quedan unos pocos meses para leer algo nuevo de él.» <br> <i>The Best Read Yet</i> </p> <p>«En <i>La profecía oscura</i> volvemos a encontrarnos con las claves del éxito de Rick Riordan. Este autor nunca decepciona y hace que leer sus libros sea una auténtica maravilla. Quiero muchas sagas como las publicadas hasta la fecha.» <br> <i>Vorágine interna</i> </p> <p>«Soy una fan indiscutible de Rick Riordan y me encanta saber que no pierde la chispa. Cada historia es única, divertida, atrayente. Consigue modelar a sus personajes de tal forma que aunque haya miles, los distingues perfectamente unos de otros y, creedme, nos va a hacer falta. En resumen, estoy encantada con esta saga.» <br> <i>Fiebre Lectora</i> </p>

The Son of Neptune
Rick Riordan · 2011
Percy is confused. When he awoke after his long sleep, he didn’t know much more than his name. His brain-fuzz is lingering, even after the wolf Lupa told him he is a demigod and trained him to fight. Somehow Percy managed to make it to the camp for half-bloods, despite the fact that he had to continually kill monsters that, annoyingly, would not stay dead. But the camp doesn't ring any bells with him.<br/><br/>Hazel is supposed to be dead. When she lived before, she didn’t do a very good job of it. When the Voice took over her mother and commanded Hazel to use her “gift” for an evil purpose, Hazel couldn’t say no. Now, because of her mistake, the future of the world is at risk.<br/><br/>Frank is a klutz. His grandmother claims he is descended from ancient heroes and can be anything he wants to be, but he doesn’t see it. He doesn’t even know who his father is. He keeps hoping Apollo will claim him, because the only thing he is good at is archeryalthough not good enough to help the Fifth Cohort win at war games. His big and bulky physique makes him feel like a clumsy ox, especially in front of Hazel, his closest friend at camp. He trusts her completelyenough, even, to share the secret he holds close to his heart.<br/><br/>Beginning at the “other” camp for half-bloods and extending as far north as the land beyond the gods, this breathtaking second installment in the Heroes of Olympus series introduces new demigods, revives fearsome monsters, and features other remarkable creatures, all of whom are destined to play a part in the most important quest of all: the Prophecy of Seven.

LEAL (OCEANO)
Veronica Roth · 2014
Product Description <br/>Una elección puede transformarte. Una elección puede destruirte. Una elección te define.<br/>La sociedad dividida en facciones en la que antes creía Tris Prior ha quedado hecha pedazos, fracturada por la violencia y las luchas de poder, y marcada por la traición. Así que cuando tiene la oportunidad de explorar el mundo más allá de los límites que siempre ha conocido, Tris está más que dispuesta.<br/>Sin embargo, la nueva realidad de Tris es aún más inquietante que la que ha dejado atrás. Y, de nuevo, Tris lucha por comprender las complejidades de la naturaleza humana (y de su propia naturaleza) a la vez que se enfrenta a elecciones imposibles que tienen que ver con el valor, la lealtad, el sacrificio y el amor.<br/>La crítica ha dicho...«La trama de Roth es... inteligente y compleja. Los peligros, las sospechas y la tensión acechan en cada esquina, y la química entre Tris y Tobias sigue extremadamente palpitante. Esta última entrega va a capturar y mantener la atención hasta el final».Publishers Weekly<br/> About the Author <br/>Veronica Roth (Nueva York, 1988) es la autora de las sagas «Divergente» (Divergente, Insurgente, Leal y Cuatro: una historia de la saga Divergente) y de Las marcas de la muerte, así como de la antología de relatos El fin y otros inicios, con las que ha llegado a ser número uno en ventas de The New York Times. Actualmente vive en Chicago.
Insurgente
Veronica Roth · 2014
A tua escolha pode transformar-te - ou destruir-te. Mas qualquer escolha implica consequências, e à medida que as várias fações começam a insurgir-se, Tris Prior precisa de continuar a lutar pelos que ama - e por ela própria. O dia da iniciação de Tris devia ter sido marcado pela celebração com a fação escolhida. No entanto, o dia termina da pior forma possível. À medida que o conflito entre as diferentes fações e as ideologias de cada uma se agita, a guerra parece ser inevitável. Escolher é cada vez mais incontornável... e fatal. Transformada pelas próprias decisões mas ainda assombrada pela dor e pela culpa, Tris terá de aceitar em pleno o seu estatuto de Divergente, mesmo que não compreenda completamente o que poderá vir a perder. A muito esperada continuação da saga Divergente volta a impressionar os fãs, com um enredo pleno de reviravoltas, romance e desilusões amorosas, e uma maravilhosa reflexão sobre a natureza humana. Veronica Roth foi considerada a melhor autora pelo GoodReads Choice Awards em 2012. Divergente foi eleito o melhor livro de 2011 e Insurgente o melhor livro de fantasia para jovens-adultos em 2012, pela mesma entidade, a única cujas distinções são atribuídas exclusivamente pelos leitores.
