Veronica Rossi - Rebel Spy
A reimagining of the story behind Agent 355--a New York society girl and spy for George Washington during the Revolutionary War--perfect for fans of Tatiana de Rosnay's Sarah's Key and the novels of Julie Berry.
Rebellious Frannie Tasker knows little about the war between England and its thirteen colonies in 1776, until a shipwreck off her home in Grand Bahama Island presents an unthinkable opportunity. The body of a young woman body floating in the sea gives Frannie the chance to escape her brutal stepfather--and she takes it.
Assuming the identity of the drowned Emmeline Coates, Frannie is rescued by a British merchant ship and sails with the crew to New York. For the next three years, Frannie lives a lie as Miss Coates, swept up in a courtship by a dashing British lieutenant. But after witnessing the darker side of the war, she realizes that her position gives her power. Soon she's eavesdropping on British officers, risking everything to pass information on to George Washington's Culper spy ring as agent 355. Frannie believes in the fight for American liberty--but what will it cost her? Inspired by the true "355" and rich in historical detail and intrigue, this is the story of an unlikely New York society girl turned an even unlikelier spy.
Veronica Rossi - Bajo el cielo eterno
Desde que estaba fuera había sobrevivido a una tormenta de éter, alguien la había amenazado con un cuchillo y había visto hombres asesinados. Pero esto es aún peor. Aria ha perdido su casa en la protegida ciudad de Ensoñación y sabe que sus probabilidades de sobrevivir en esta tierra agreste son mínimas. Si no son los caníbales, serán las violentas tormentas eléctricas de éter las que acabarán con su vida. Incluso el aire que respira puede matarla. Entonces conoce a un salvaje de nombre Perry.
Es salvaje, un salvaje, y su única oportunidad de sobrevivir. Perry es uno de los cazadores de su tribu y ve en Aria la fragilidad que podría esperarse de una residente.
Sin embargo, él también necesita su ayuda: ella tiene la llave para su propia salvación.
Veronica Rossi - Putovanie večnou nocou
Aria sa vracia do sveta divochov, smrtiaceho éteru a tisícky ďalších nebezpečenstiev. Na príkaz konzula Hessa má vymámiť z drsného náčelníka severského kmeňa Rohov Soboľa polohu Modrej tíšiny – miesta, na ktoré éter neútočí. Nemá na výber. Hess drží ako rukojemníka Sokolovho synovca Pazúrika a prepustí ho, až keď obyvatelia mesta Blaženosť získajú nové útočisko.
Éter vonku je čoraz nebezpečnejší. Ničí územia aj ľudí, vyháňa kmene z dedín, takže bojujú medzi sebou o biedne možnosti obživy. Zdá sa, že jedinou šancou pre všetkých je nájsť nové miesto na život.
Aria sa ocitne v dedine kmeňa Brehárov. Jej priateľ Soky zariadi, aby dostala „značky“ – tetovanie na ramená, označujúce jej mimoriadnu schopnosť, ostrý sluch. Pri tetovaní sa ju však pokúsia otráviť. Kmeň sa rozdelí na dva tábory a tí, ktorí Ariu nenávidia, musia dedinu opustiť.
Aria sa potajomky vyberie na púť za Soboľom, ktorý údajne pozná polohu Modrej tíšiny a drží v zajatí Sokyho sestru Živenu. Sprevádza ju priateľ Rev. Ich misia má šancu na úspech, nerátajú však so zákernosťou Hessa a Soboľa. Modrá tíšina má zachrániť len vyvolených! Ria s Revom však nečakane získajú mocného spojenca a kmeň i obyvatelia Blaženosti tak nestrácajú nádej na prežitie.

Veronica Rossi - Seeker
When Daryn claimed she was seeing “visions” during her sophomore year of high school, no one believed the truth. She wasn’t losing her mind, she was gaining the Sight—the ability to see the future. If she just paid attention to the visions, they’d provide her with clues and show her how she could help people. Really help them. Daryn embraced her role as a Seeker. The work she did was important. She saved lives.
Until Sebastian.
Sebastian was her first—and worst—mistake.
Since the moment she inadvertently sealed him in a dark dimension with Samrael—the last surviving demon in the Kindred—guilt has plagued her. Daryn knows Sebastian is alive and waiting for help. It’s up to her to rescue him. But now that she needs the Sight more than ever to guide her, the visions have stopped.
Daryn must rely on her instincts, her intelligence, and on blind faith to lead the riders who are counting on her in search of Sebastian. As they delve into a shadowy realm where nothing is as it seems and where Samrael is steadily amassing power, Daryn faces the ultimate test. Will she have to become evil to destroy evil? The very fate of humankind rests in the answer.

Veronica Rossi - Végtelen ég alatt
A bioszféra falain túli világot Halálzónának hívják. Odakint millió arca van a halálnak. Aria soha nem hitte volna, hogy egyszer ilyen közel kerül hozzá.
Aria egészen eddig a külvilágtól elszigetelt, biztonságot jelentő Reverie-ben élt. Elképzelni sem tudta, mi lehet a város határain túl. Amikor azonban édesanyja eltűnik, tudja, hogy meg kell találnia. Még akkor is, ha ehhez át kell hágnia a szabályokat.
A vad Perry a külső világból való, nem ismeri a kupolák nyújtotta biztonságot, s nap mint nap meg kell harcolnia az életben maradásért. Ariához hasonlóan ő is kitaszított, és talán ő az egyetlen, aki segíthet a lánynak... a lány pedig neki.
Az éterviharok által sújtott Halálzónában Aria és Perry csak egymásra számíthatnak. Minden ellenszenvük ellenére együtt kell működniük, ha le akarják győzni a rájuk leselkedő ezernyi veszélyt, és válaszokat akarnak kapni a kérdéseikre.
A Végtelen ég alatt a posztapokaliptikus disztópia és a cyberpunk sci-fi lenyűgöző keveréke. Mindazoknak tetszeni fog, akiket magával ragadott Collins Éhezők viadala trilógiája vagy Gibson klasszikusa, a Neurománc. A regény jogait eddig huszonhat országban adták el, a megfilmesítés joga pedig a Warner Broshoz került.

Veronica Rossi - Pod vražednou oblohou
Mesto, v ktorom žije sedemnásťročná Aria, sa volá Blaženosť. Azda preto, lebo jeho obyvatelia sú v ňom chránení pred nebezpečenstvom striehnucim mimo jeho dômyselného obranného systému. Svet sa totiž od základu zmenil: z oblohy z času na čas šľahajú ohnivé elektrické prúdy a spália všetko, čoho sa dotknú, hrozia aj epidémie smrteľných chorôb. Napriek tomu aj tam existuje život – v podobe „divochov“ či iných záhadných tvorov. Mešťania a tí „zvonku“ sa odjakživa nenávidia... Osudy dvoch mladých ľudí z rozdielnych svetov Arie a Sokola sa nečakane spojili, keď dievča nespravodlivo vyhostili z mesta, aby nemohlo svedčiť proti privilegovanému konzulovmu synovi. Prežila práve vďaka Sokolovi a „menejcenným“ bytostiam z voľnej prírody. Spoločne sa vydali hľadať Ariinu nezvestnú matku. Aria postupne poznáva výnimočné schopnosti svojich spoločníkov – jeden má dokonalý sluch, iný čuch, ďalší zrak – a uvedomuje si aj vlastné dovtedy neodhalené zručnosti. Naučí sa prežiť v divočine, loviť, variť, hľadať pitnú vodu, unikať pred vlkmi a odhadovať, kedy na zem opäť udrie vražedný éter z oblohy. Láska k Sokolovi ju však postaví pred ťažké rozhodnutie – má sa pridať k divochom, alebo radšej k svojej rodine a spoločne napraviť krivdu?
