Sharon a treize ans et sa vie est remplie de musique, de disputes avec ses parents et de rêves de…
liberté; la perte soudaine de sa mère, toutefois, creuse un abîme de rage dans lequel ni le silence tourmenté de son père, ni la brusque compréhension de Madame Teresa peuvent la toucher. Et dans cet abîme Sharon risque de perdre aussi son petit frère David, resté désespérément dans le monde fantastique inventé, pour eux, par leur mère. L'enlacement bizarre de ce monde et de personnages loufoques qui l'habitent pourra peut-être aider les deux frères à se retrouver dans le noir de la douleur, mais pour le faire Sharon devra affronter tous ses démons. Et elle devra ramener David à la maison.Un mundo para Sharon

elementi. In qualità di Mago dell’acqua, spetta a lui trovare la Madre degli oceani. Ma sembra che gli manchi qualcosa affinché la Madre si riveli: potrebbe forse essere l’amore di una donna? Sulla terra di Erin è scesa una strana nebbia, che annerisce i cuori e le menti di druidi e cavalieri, spingendoli a uccidersi a vicenda. Avana compirà un viaggio fino in terra nemica, nel Connacht, per convincere la regina Maeve a unirsi agli Ulati, per combattere fianco a fianco le potenze delle Tenebre. Riusciranno i cavalieri di Conor e Maeve a dimenticare il passato e unire le forze contro gli eserciti di Zha’hor? Il disco dei quattro elementi deve essere riunito al più presto e Avana, legata alla magia dell’aria, raggiungerà gli elementalisti e ritroverà Emroth. Riusciranno i due a dare finalmente una possibilità al loro amore? Questo secondo volume trasporta il lettore in una ricerca iniziatica in cui i personaggi devono trasformarsi interiormente per vincere la propria Ombra e unirsi alla Luce. Si tratta di una prova individuale e collettiva, e ogni abitante dell’Isola Verde deve prestare attenzione alla propria interiorità, mentre un’oscura foschia invade ogni luogo. Da dove proviene questa nebbia? Di cosa si nutrono le Tenebre che gli Ulati temono così tanto? E come si può sconfiggere un nemico che ci è così vicino? Oltre a condurci in un universo fantasy in cui si uniscono con brio la mitologia celtica, la magia e l’amore, l’autrice ci fa vivere attraverso i personaggi un viaggio interiore che ci spinge a illuminare le nostre tenebre personali.

Add the powerful mage guilds scrambling to gather firepower for some doomsday event they’re sure is around the corner, and my cushy life of leisure might be nothing but a memory. On top of that, something’s compelling me to change on my most fundamental level. I’m not sure what I’ve got myself mixed up in, but nothing will ever be the same.

With a new species of vampire stalking the streets, the stakes are high. But that’s not the only reason hearts…
are on the line. Danny Reynolds thought Kieran McCade was the one—true love and hot lust forever—until Danny found out Kier’s bloody secret and ran away screaming. Months later, Danny is facing his own paranormal crisis, and he needs Kieran’s help, but are there enough ways to apologize for breaking a vampire’s heart? Nothing about Danny’s transformation is normal—not the attack that led to it, and not the symptoms Danny’s plagued with—but being in close proximity to Kieran is even worse than becoming a thing that goes bump in the night. Danny and Kieran aren’t the only things threatening to bump each other off, though. Secret organizations and clashing vigilante agendas want to get their hands on Danny. His only hope is to find a fix for his problem before he’s either captured or his abnormal transition starves him to death. Danny and Kieran might have a real chance to repair their broken romance… but only if they keep Danny alive!Denying Fate

Gli dà proprio quello che non vuole: un umano, Lawson Dupre. Lawson non ha capito cosa sia successo nel suo negozio. Un istante prima un cliente attraente sta per svenire, quello dopo si riprende e inizia a flirtare, poi fugge via come se fosse inseguito dai demoni dell’inferno. Non è la natura speciale di Heller a spaventare Lawson, che è uno dei pochi umani al corrente dell’esistenza delle creature sovrannaturali, dato che ne ha due come coinquilini.

An old enemy, Eleni, blames Arrigo for murdering her true love. On the anniversary of that death, she’s back to take revenge. As Arrigo’s closest friends fall victim to savage attacks, he fears nothing will keep Luc safe. Should he break both their hearts and let Luc go, or is it too late?

By Anne Mccaffrey, Todd J. Mccaffrey. 2012
From the New York Times bestselling mother-and-son team of Anne McCaffrey and Todd McCaffrey comes the final installment in the…
riveting Pern saga that began with Todd's solo novel, Dragonsblood. Now, with all of Pern imperiled by the aftereffects of a plague that killed scores of dragons and left the planet helpless against the fall of deadly Thread, the only hope for the future lies in the past. There, on an unexplored island, a group of dragonriders led by Xhinna, a brave young woman who rides the blue dragon Tazith, must battle lethal Merows and voracious tunnel-snakes to build a safe home for themselves and the dragons, whose offspring will one day--if they survive--replenish Pern's decimated dragon population. But as the first female rider of a blue dragon, and the first female Weyrleader in the history of Pern, Xhinna faces an uphill battle in winning the respect and loyalty of her peers . . . especially after an unforeseen tragedy leaves the struggling colony reeling from a shattering loss. Amid the grieving, one girl, Jirana, blessed--or cursed--with the ability to foresee potential futures, will help Xhinna find a way forward. The answer lies in time . . . or, rather, in timing it: the awesome ability of the dragons to travel through time itself. But that power comes with risks, and by venturing further into the past, Xhinna may be jeopardizing the very future she has sworn to save.Heroes Die: A Fantasy Novel (The Acts of Caine #1)

in the merchant caste, his life is predictable in its routine until the night his best friends and assistants, Caleb and Andrew, purchase the time--and body--of a companion for his birthday. As an activist in the Caste Equality movement, everything Gabriel believes in tells him to refuse the gift, but then he meets Lucio. The beautiful and alluring companion is far more than the vapid courtesan he'd expected, and he can't get the man out of his mind. After that night, Gabriel tells himself to forget about Lucio, but a chance meeting at a ball makes it clear neither of them is willing to ignore the compelling chemistry between them. It will take all their combined trust and cunning, plus the help of a wily aristocrat and a plucky political activist, to overcome the challenges of infidelity, abuse, and social stigma that lay along their road; however, Gabriel knows it will all be worth it if at the end of the day he can call Lucio his own.Cat's Quill
