Kiersten White - Padawan
Obi-Wan Kenobi struggles with his place in the Force as a young Padawan in this coming-of-age adventure!
Obi-Wan Kenobi really wants to be a good Padawan. The best Padawan, even. But that’s feeling more and more impossible with his new master, Qui-Gon Jinn. All of Obi-Wan’s friends are off training to be real Jedi, getting mission experience, while he’s still on Coruscant, practicing his forms and sitting in silent contemplation. Ever since Qui-Gon’s former master, Dooku, left the Order, it feels like Qui-Gon has been too busy trying to connect with the Force or arguing with the Jedi Council to properly train his Padawan.
When Obi-Wan finally convinces Qui-Gon to take him on a mission to a remote planet once explored by an ancient Jedi, his master doesn’t show up the morning they are to leave—so Obi-Wan impulsively takes off by himself. Upon arriving on the mysterious, lush planet, he encounters a group of teenagers with no adult supervision—and who all seem to have some connection to the Force. Free from the constraints of the Order, Obi-Wan joins them in their daring adventures, but the Padawan side of him keeps questioning the teens’ strange relationship to the Force, and to the verdant planet around them, and what all of it might mean to his future. Obi-Wan will test the limits of his relationship to the Jedi and to the Force in this exciting, yet soulful exploration of one of Star Wars’ most enduring heroes.
Kiersten White - Wretched Waterpark
From New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White comes her middle grade series debut! Part Scooby Doo, part A Series of Unfortunate Events, and entirely genius! Meet the Sinister-Winterbottom twins, who solve mysteries at increasingly bizarre summer vacation destinations in the hopes of being reunited with their parents—or at the very least finally finding a good churro.
Twelve-year-old twins Theodora and Alexander and their older sister Wilhelmina Sinister-Winterbottom don’t know how they ended up with their Aunt Saffronia for an entire summer. She’s not exactly well equipped to handle children. The twins are determined to make it a good vacation, though, so when Aunt Saffronia suggests a waterpark, they hastily agree.
But Fathoms of Fun is not your typical waterpark. Instead of cabanas, guests rent mausoleums. The waterslides are gray tongues extending from horrible gargoyle faces. The few people they encounter are very, very odd. And the owner disappeared under bizarre circumstances, lost to the Cold, Unknowable Sea—the wave pool.
When Wil goes missing, rule following, cautious Alexander and competitive, brave Theo will have to work together to solve the mystery of Fathoms of Fun. But are they out of their depth?

Agora, ela pode dormir em uma cama quente, se fartar com comidas deliciosas e usar os vestidos da mais fina seda. Logo, Victor e ela tornam-se inseparáveis.
Mas a nova vida de Elizabeth tem um preço. Conforme os anos passam, sua sobrevivência depende de sua capacidade de controlar o temperamento perigoso de Victor e de ser indulgente com os caprichos do rapaz, não importa quão moralmente questionáveis ou perversos possam ser.
De sorriso meigo e mente sofisticada, Elizabeth está determinada a se manter viva custe o que custar… até mesmo quando o mundo tal qual ela conhece, progressivamente, é consumido pela total escuridão.

Kiersten White - The Camelot Betrayal
The second book in a new fantasy trilogy from New York Times bestselling author Kiersten White, exploring the nature of self, the inevitable cost of progress, and, of course, magic and romance and betrayal so epic Queen Guinevere remains the most famous queen who never lived.

Guinevere might have accepted her role, but she still cannot find a place for herself in all of it. The closer she gets to Brangien, pining for her lost love Isolde, Lancelot, fighting to prove her worth as Queen's knight, and Arthur, everything to everyone and thus never quite enough for Guinevere--the more she realizes how empty she is.

When a rescue goes awry and results in the death of something precious, a devastated Guinevere returns to Camelot to find the greatest threat yet has arrived. Not in the form of the Dark Queen or an invading army, but in the form of the real Guinevere's younger sister. Is her deception at an end? And who is she really deceiving--Camelot, or herself?

Lada Dracul has no allies. No throne. All she has is what she’s always had: herself. After failing to secure the Wallachian throne, Lada is out to punish anyone who dares to cross her blood-strewn path. Filled with a white-hot rage, she storms the countryside with her men, accompanied by her childhood friend Bogdan, terrorizing the land. But brute force isn’t getting Lada what she wants. And thinking of Mehmed brings little comfort to her thorny heart. There’s no time to wonder whether he still thinks about her, even loves her. She left him before he could leave her.
What Lada needs is her younger brother Radu’s subtlety and skill. But Mehmed has sent him to Constantinople—and it’s no diplomatic mission. Mehmed wants control of the city, and Radu has earned an unwanted place as a double-crossing spy behind enemy lines. Radu longs for his sister’s fierce confidence—but for the first time in his life, he rejects her unexpected plea for help. Torn between loyalties to faith, to the Ottomans, and to Mehmed, he knows he owes Lada nothing. If she dies, he could never forgive himself—but if he fails in Constantinople, will Mehmed ever forgive him?
As nations fall around them, the Dracul siblings must decide: what will they sacrifice to fulfill their destinies? Empires will topple, thrones will be won . . . and souls will be lost.

Arthur is also new to the boarding house. His fate is tied to that of Cora, Minnie, Thomas, and Charles. He knows what darkness circles them, but can’t say why, and doesn’t even know if they can be saved.
Sinister forces are working in the shadows, manipulating fates and crafting conspiracies. The closer Cora, Minnie, Arthur, Thomas, and Charles get to the truth, the closer they get to harm. But the threat is much bigger than they can see. It is strangling the world.
Until one of the boys decides he wants to save it.
Told in an astonishing mix of art and words, IN THE SHADOWS collides past against future, love against evil, and hope against fear. The result is both a mystery and a masterpiece.

La piccola Elizabeth Lavenza non mangiava un pasto decente da giorni e le sue braccia erano coperte di lividi quando il giudice Frankenstein l'ha portata via dall'orfanotrofio e da una vita di maltrattamenti perché diventasse la compagna di giochi di suo figlio Victor, un ragazzino cupo e solitario che aveva tutto, tranne che un amico. Victor era la sua salvezza, l'occasione per sottrarsi alla miseria, e da quel giorno Elizabeth, decisa a non lasciarsi sfuggire l'opportunità di cambiare in meglio la propria esistenza, ha fatto tutto ciò che era in suo potere per rendersi indispensabile. E ci è riuscita: la famiglia Frankenstein l'ha accolta, le ha dato una casa, un letto caldo in cui dormire, buon cibo e vestiti bellissimi. Lei e Victor sono diventati inseparabili. Ma quella nuova, meravigliosa vita ha un prezzo. Con il passare degli anni, Elizabeth ha dovuto imparare a convivere con il temperamento violento di Victor, ad accontentare ogni suo capriccio, ad assecondarlo nei suoi vizi. Perché dietro gli occhioni azzurri e il sorriso dolce si nasconde in realtà il cuore calcolatore di una giovane donna decisa a sopravvivere a qualunque costo... anche quando il mondo che credeva di conoscere sprofonda nelle tenebre.
Kiersten White - Hide
Fourteen competitors. Seven days. Everywhere to hide, but nowhere to run.
When Mackenzie Black is invited to enter a Hide and Seek competition, with a grand prize big enough to get her out of a shelter and into some stability, she goes against her instincts and agrees.
The rules are simple: Don't be found.
But the competitors are less simple. Everyone has a reason to be there, a desperate need. But Mack can outlast them all. Unlike them, she knows exactly how far she'll go to survive.
As the competition progresses and the others slowly get cut, without a goodbye, without ceremony, without a trace, Mack realises she's in the middle of something much more terrifying than a game. Within the crumbling labyrinth of an abandoned theme park, something lurks, and it's only a matter of time before it finds her.
Come out, come out, wherever you are . . .

But as one disastrous mission leads to another, Evie starts to wonder if she made the right choice. And when Evie's faerie ex-boyfriend Reth appears with devastating revelations about her past, she discovers that there's a battle brewing between the faerie courts that could throw the whole supernatural world into chaos. The prize in question? Evie herself.
So much for normal.

Vámpírok.
Látom, amit ti nem láttok.
Vérfarkasok.
Megtalálom, ami rátok vadászik.
Tündérek.
Megvédelek benneteket.
Alakváltók.
Most én sem tudlak megvédeni titeket.
„A Paranormalcy engem is teljesen elcsábított. Evie-ért két szexi paranormális lény verseng és mindketten győznek: az egyikük Evie szívét, a másikuk viszont az enyémet nyerte meg.” (APRILYNNE PIKE, a Wings c. New York Times bestseller szerzője).
„Pergő, mozgalmas történet, száguld, akár egy hullámvasút. Nem maradt hiányérzetem: vagány, szellemes, de helyenként félelmetes is. Egyszerűen imádom!” BECCA FITZPATRICK, a Csitt, csitt c. bestseller szerzője
Hi, Evie vagyok és tulajdonképpen teljesen normális. Legalábbis mindig ezt hittem magamról, leszámítva, hogy a legjobb barátnőm sellő, a volt barátom pedig tündér. Annyit még hozzátennék az igazsághoz, hogy én vagyok az egyedüli a világon, aki felismerem a paranormális lényeket, akárhogy álcázzák is magukat. Ezért is dolgozom a Nemzetközi Paranormális Ellenőrző Hivatalnál. Ennyit akkor a normalitásról. De aztán bejött Lend a képbe. Iszonyú helyes srác, nagyon figyelmes, egyébként alakváltó. Felbolygatta az egész eddigi kis életemet, nem beszélve egy sötét jóslatról, amely egy az egyben rám illik. Pedig én egyáltalán nem vagyok gonosz, csak valami félreértés lehet az egész. Utána kell járnom: tudni akarom végre, hogy ki is vagyok valójában, de a legfontosabb: Nem akarom Lendet elveszíteni!

Kiersten White - Slayer
Into every generation a Slayer is born…
Nina and her twin sister, Artemis, are far from normal. It’s hard to be when you grow up at the Watcher’s Academy, which is a bit different from your average boarding school. Here teens are trained as guides for Slayers—girls gifted with supernatural strength to fight the forces of darkness. But while Nina’s mother is a prominent member of the Watcher’s Council, Nina has never embraced the violent Watcher lifestyle. Instead she follows her instincts to heal, carving out a place for herself as the school medic.
Until the day Nina’s life changes forever.
Thanks to Buffy, the famous (and infamous) Slayer that Nina’s father died protecting, Nina is not only the newest Chosen One—she’s the last Slayer, ever. Period.
As Nina hones her skills with her Watcher-in-training, Leo, there’s plenty to keep her occupied: a monster fighting ring, a demon who eats happiness, a shadowy figure that keeps popping up in Nina’s dreams…
But it’s not until bodies start turning up that Nina’s new powers will truly be tested—because someone she loves might be next.
One thing is clear: Being Chosen is easy. Making choices is hard.

But Evie’s about to realize that she may very well be at the center of a dark faerie prophecy promising destruction to all paranormal creatures.

Kiersten White - And I Darken - Lada Dracul: Egy sötét lélek
Milyen lett volna Drakula, ha nőnek születik?
Egy hercegnőtől senki nem vár kíméletlenséget, Lada Dracul mégis ezt nyújtja. A lányt szelíd természetű öccsével együtt elszakították szülőföldjétől, Havasalföldtől, apjuk elhagyta őket, így a török szultán udvarában nevelkedve megtanulja, hogy a túlélés záloga a kíméletlenség. Öccsével, Raduval együtt játékszerek csupán egy gonosz játszmában, és egy láthatatlan kard függ egy hajszálon a fejük felett. Származásuk különlegessé teszi őket, de emiatt célpontul is szolgálnak.
Lada gyűlöli a törököket, és várja a napot, amikor bosszút állhat rajtuk – amint visszatérhet Havasalföldre és megszerezheti a trónt, ami megilleti. Radu csak egy biztonságos helyre vágyik. Amikor találkoznak Mehmeddel, a szultán dacos és magányos fiával, Radu úgy érzi, személyében hű barátra talált, Lada pedig benne látja azt a fiút, aki érdemes az ő szenvedélyes érzelmeire.
De Mehmed annak a birodalomnak a trónörököse, ami ellen Lada harcot esküdött, és amit Radu már az otthonának tekint. Vajon mi lesz így a sorsuk?
Vajon mennyit bír ki a szerelem és a hűség fonala?
Fedezd fel!

După eșecul de a pune mâna pe tronul Valahiei, Lada Drăculea pornește să pedepsească pe oricine îndrăznește să i se pună de-a curmezișul în drumul ei presărat cu sânge. Plină de o furie arzătoare, străbate țara, însoțită de oamenii ei. Dar forța brută nu îi aduce Ladei ceea ce își dorește. Iar gândul la Mehmed, pe care îl poartă în adâncul inimii ei, continuă să o tulbure.
Ceea ce îi trebuie Ladei sunt subtilitatea și priceperea fratelui ei Radu. Dar Mehmed l-a trimis la Constantinopol, căci dorește controlul asupra orașului, iar Radu a căpătat însărcinarea nedorită de spion dublu în spatele liniilor inamice. Pentru prima dată în viață, Radu refuză rugămințile neașteptate ale Ladei pentru ajutor. Împărțit între lealitatea față de credință, de otomani și de Mehmed, el știe că nu îi datorează nimic Ladei. Dacă ea moare, el nu și-o va ierta niciodată – dar dacă el nu izbândește în Constantinopol, oare Mehmed îl va ierta vreodată?
În vreme ce națiunile se prăbușesc în jurul lor, frații Drăculea trebuie să ia o hotărâre: ce vor sacrifica pentru a-și împlini destinul?
Kiersten White - Io sono buio
Una principessa non dovrebbe essere brutale. Ma Lada, figlia di Vlad Dracul, è diversa da ogni altra: affamata di potere fin da piccola, preferisce la lotta e i coltelli alle bambole. L’esatto contrario del fratello Radu, dolce, bellissimo e delicato come un bocciolo di rosa.
Quando i due vengono lasciati in ostaggio dal padre, ancora bambini, al sultano dell’Impero Ottomano – prigionieri di un sovrano crudele e sottomessi a una cultura completamente diversa dalla propria – Lada inizia a progettare la sua spietata vendetta. Mentre la ragazza si prepara a combattere, il figlio del sultano Mehmed si mette tra lei e il fratello, spingendoli a diventare rivali. E in questo triangolo avvelenato forze potenti tendono gli animi: desideri di riscatto, gelosie tremende e un’ambizione sfrenata. Avvolta in un vortice di passioni turbinose, Lada si troverà di fronte alla scelta più difficile: portare a termine il suo piano o arrendersi all’unico nemico che forse non è in grado di sconfiggere, l’amore.
Kiersten White - Bright We Burn
The tumultuous, edge-of-your-seat conclusion to the New York Times bestselling AND I DARKEN series--the epic saga that reads like HBO's Game of Thrones . . . if it were set in the Ottoman Empire. Who will live? Who will die? And who will rule triumphant?
Haunted by the sacrifices he made in Constantinople, Radu is called back to the new capital. Mehmed is building an empire, becoming the sultan his people need. But Mehmed has a secret: as emperor, he is more powerful than ever . . . and desperately lonely. Does this mean Radu can finally have more with Mehmed . . . and would he even want it?
Lada's rule of absolute justice has created a Wallachia free of crime. But Lada won't rest until everyone knows that her country's borders are inviolable. Determined to send a message of defiance, she has the bodies of Mehmed's peace envoy delivered to him, leaving Radu and Mehmed with no choice. If Lada is allowed to continue, only death will prosper. They must go to war against the girl prince.
But Mehmed knows that he loves her. He understands her. She must lose to him so he can keep her safe. Radu alone fears that they are underestimating his sister's indomitable will. Only by destroying everything that came before--including her relationships--can Lada truly build the country she wants.
Claim the throne. Demand the crown. Rule the world.

“SU COLUMNA VERTEBRAL ERA ACERO; SU CORAZÓN, UNA ARMADURA; Y SUS OJOS, FUEGO”.
