Baseada em O Corcunda de Notre Dame, esta é uma história fantástica que relata a transformação de Enebish, uma jovem…
marginalizada e dona de um grande poder capaz de controlar a noite e a escuridão. Autora nomeada para o prémio YALSA para Melhor Romance Young Adult. Chamam-me Enebish, a Destruidora, e já fui uma das maiores guerreiras do Exército Imperial do Rei Celeste. A única com o poder de manipular a noite e as sombras. Fui uma arma valiosa para o reino, até perder o controlo e me ter tornado uma assassina. Como castigo, o rei marcou-me a traição no rosto e condenou-me ao exílio num mosteiro. Depois de dois anos de cativeiro, Ghoa, a minha irmã adotiva e comandante do exército, propôs-me um plano irrecusável: capturar o rebelde que anda a roubar os mantimentos das tropas do rei. Se for bem sucedida, recupero o meu título de guerreira e deixarei de ser um monstro… ou quase. Aceitei fazê-lo, mas o mundo mudou. E agora, dividida entre a lealdade ao rei e a minha consciência, não sei em quem confiar: na minha irmã, que sempre me protegeu, ou no rebelde, que é inimigo de tudo aquilo em que acredito? «Uma história de manipulação, falsidade, honra e lealdade, que nos oferece uma visão astuciosa deste mundo fantástico e que deixará os leitores rendidos à sua heroína.» Booklist

SOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE FROM NETFLIX AND ACADEMY AWARD-WINNING DIRECTOR KATHRYN BIGELOW“Fantastic story, a real page-turner. Impossible…
to put down." – Stephen KingFrom the author of Cold Storage comes a riveting, eerily plausible thriller, told with the menace and flair of Under the Dome or Project Hail Mary, in which a worldwide cataclysm plays out in the lives of one complicated Midwestern family. In Aurora, Illinois, Aubrey Wheeler is just trying to get by after her semi-criminal ex-husband split, leaving behind his unruly teenage son. Then the lights go out—not just in Aurora but across the globe. A solar storm has knocked out power almost everywhere. Suddenly, all problems are local, very local, and Aubrey must assume the mantle of fierce protector of her suburban neighborhood. Across the country lives Aubrey’s estranged brother, Thom. A fantastically wealthy, neurotically over-prepared Silicon Valley CEO, he plans to ride out the crisis in a gilded desert bunker he built for maximum comfort and security.But the complicated history between the siblings is far from over, and what feels like the end of the world is just the beginning of several long-overdue reckonings—which not everyone will survive . . . Aurora is suspenseful storytelling—both large scale and small—at its finest.
