A sedici anni la principessa Leia Organa sta per affrontare il momento più impegnativo della sua vita: deve superare tre prove, una per il corpo, una per la mente e una per il cuore, per dimostrare di essere degna di ereditare un giorno la corona di Alderaan. Per farlo si divide tra corsi di sopravvivenza, Apprendistato Legislativo e missioni umanitarie sui pianeti della galassia. Ma qualcosa la distoglie dalle sue pretese al trono: i suoi genitori, Breha e Bail Organa, sono distratti, assenti, presi da misteriose questioni che non vogliono condividere con la figlia. Decisa a scoprire cosa le stiano nascondendo, Leia imbocca un cammino pericoloso, che la porterà ad attirare l’attenzione dell’Impero. E quando finalmente apprenderà la verità, si troverà di fronte alla scelta più ardua: dovrà decidere se dedicare la vita al suo popolo, e all’uomo che ama, o abbracciare un destino più ampio, in una galassia alla disperata ricerca di eroi ribelli. Il resto è storia anzi, leggenda!

Marguerite Caine ha fatto l'impossibile, viaggiando in diverse dimensioni con il Firebird, l'invenzione straordinaria che i suoi genitori hanno realizzato con l'aiuto di Paul - che è ora il suo ragazzo - e Theo, un altro brillante studente di fisica. Ma in questo modo è diventata il bersaglio di gente senza scrupoli, che pur di avere libero accesso al Firebird è disposta a rapire, ricattare e persino uccidere. Quando la coscienza di Paul viene frantumata in quattro pezzi e dispersa in diverse dimensioni, Marguerite è disposta a tutto per salvarlo, ma il prezzo per riuscirci rischia di essere troppo alto. Se infatti non saboterà i propri genitori nelle diverse dimensioni, Paul sarà perso per sempre. Ma ci deve pur essere una via d'uscita! Così Marguerite chiede l'aiuto di Theo. Studiano un piano, ma non sarà facile. Le loro vite, come le vite dei loro alter ego temporali, sono in costante pericolo. Dovranno affrontare una San Francisco dilaniata dalla guerra, il sottosuolo criminale di New York e una Parigi tutta lustrini, in cui un'altra versione di Marguerite nasconde un segreto sconvolgente. Ogni mondo la porta un passo più vicino a salvare Paul, ma lei inizia a farsi domande sul loro destino: davvero è scritto che saranno sempre insieme? Diecimila mondi. Diecimila nemici. Un solo amore.

Marguerite Caine è cresciuta respirando intorno a sé le teorie scientifiche più all'avanguardia. I suoi genitori, infatti, sono due famosi scienziati che sono riusciti a realizzare la macchina più stupefacente di tutti i tempi: il Firebird. Si tratta di un congegno che permette di viaggiare in dimensioni parallele, basandosi sulla teoria che esistono infiniti universi, che sono poi quelli delle possibilità. Ciò che non è stato in questo mondo si è certamente realizzato in uno degli altri. Il padre di Marguerite, però, è misteriosamente scomparso. Sembra che a ucciderlo sia stato Paul, uno degli assistenti, che è poi fuggito impunito in un'altra dimensione, portando via con sé tutti i dati relativi al Firebird. Marguerite si lancia alla ricerca del padre e grazie a Theo, uno studente di fisica che l'aiuta nell'impresa, riesce a ingaggiare una caccia all'uomo pluri-dimensionale, tra una Londra del futuro, una Russia ai tempi dello Zar e un mondo sottomarino... Le vite sono mille. Mille le possibilità. Ma il destino è uno soltanto.

Lucas, l'erede della congrega di cacciatori della Croce Nera, viene smascherato e allontanato dall'Accademia di Evernight. Il ragazzo e la sua innamorata Bianca, futura vampira, faranno di tutto per tornare insieme, nonostante ogni cosa si metta contro di loro: i genitori, i membri dell'Accademia, i feroci cacciatori e anche una nuova, spettrale presenza che minaccia la giovane.

"Torneremo insieme bianca. non so quando né come, ma so di non avere alcun dubbio. Non potrebbe essere altrimenti. Ho bisogno che anche tu ci creda. Perché credo in te." E Bianca crede in Lucas, gli crede come non ha mai creduto in nessun altro prima d'ora. Perché bianca non è mai stata innamorata come lo è di lui. Perché il primo amore, quello che ti strappa il cuore e ti lascia senza fiato, è sempre vero. E non importa essere un vampiro, non importa se tutto e tutti sono contrari a questo sentimento. Bianca e Lucas non vogliono scegliere da che parte stare. Bianca e Lucas, a sedici anni, tra i corridoi di Evernight, un esclusivo e misterioso collegio, hanno incontrato l'amore. E nessuno potrà portarglielo via.

Bianca non è ancora un vampiro, ma è destinata a diventarlo. Lucas è l'erede di un'antica congrega di cacciatori di vampiri, la Croce Nera. Il loro amore impossibile è nato tra i corridoi di Evernight, un college esclusivo dove i vampiri imparano a confondersi meglio tra gli umani. Per rimanere insieme a Lucas, Bianca è disposta a rinunciare alla propria famiglia e al proprio destino: finché non ucciderà nessun essere umano, infatti, la trasformazione non si compirà. Ma il suo corpo inizia a bramare sangue, e la sete si fa sempre più insostenibile. Mentre la usa vera natura la reclama, anche qualcun altro è interessato alla ragazza: gli spettri che avevano stretto un patto con i genitori di Bianca per permetterne la nascita ora sono sulle sue tracce.

Explore the beginning of Leia's participation in the Rebellion and the origin of her friendship with Amilyn Holdo from The Last Jedi! Sixteen-year-old Princess Leia Organa faces the most challenging task of her life so far: proving herself in the areas of body, mind, and heart to be formally named heir to the throne of Alderaan. She's taking rigorous survival courses, practicing politics, and spearheading relief missions to worlds under Imperial control. But Leia has worries beyond her claim to the crown. Her parents, Breha and Bail, aren't acting like themselves lately; they are distant and preoccupied, seemingly more concerned with throwing dinner parties for their allies in the Senate than they are with their own daughter. Determined to uncover her parents' secrets, Leia starts down an increasingly dangerous path that puts her right under the watchful eye of the Empire. And when Leia discovers what her parents and their allies are planning behind closed doors, she finds herself facing what seems like an impossible choice: dedicate herself to the people of Alderaan (including the man she loves) or to the galaxy at large, which is in desperate need of a rebel hero...

"As the Empire and the Rebellion clash, the galaxy trembles!In the wake of the obliteration of Alderaan, Thane's faith in the Empire is shaken, while the destruction of the Death Star that soon follows gives Ciena a reason to rededicate herself to the side she's chosen.As their paths diverge, is love strong enough to overcome the distance growing between them?"

A Jedi must be a fearless warrior, a guardian of justice, and a scholar in the ways of the Force. But perhaps a Jedi's most essential duty is to pass on what they have learned. Master Yoda trained Dooku; Dooku trained Qui-Gon Jinn; and now Qui-Gon has a Padawan of his own. But while Qui-Gon has faced all manner of threats and danger as a Jedi, nothing has ever scared him like the thought of failing his apprentice. Obi-Wan Kenobi has deep respect for his Master, but struggles to understand him. Why must Qui-Gon so often disregard the laws that bind the Jedi? Why is Qui-Gon drawn to ancient Jedi prophecies instead of more practical concerns? And why wasn't Obi-Wan told that Qui-Gon is considering an invitation to join the Jedi Council--knowing it would mean the end of their partnership? The simple answer scares him: Obi-Wan has failed his Master. When Jedi Rael Aveross, another former student of Dooku, requests their assistance with a political dispute, Jinn and Kenobi travel to the Royal Court of Pijal for what may be their final mission together. What should be a simple assignment quickly becomes clouded by deceit, and by visions of violent disaster that take hold in Qui-Gon's mind. As Qui-Gon's faith in prophecy grows, Obi-Wan's faith in him is tested--just as a threat surfaces which will demand that Master and Apprentice come together as never before, or be divided forever.

After a year apart, Jonathan and Juliet are thrilled to be reunited, even if the circumstances—finding whoever has thus far sabotaged Lady Catherine's carriage, shot at her, and nearly pushed her down the stairs—are less than ideal.

Raději by si však o něm četl, než aby ho prožíval. Tráví celé hodiny pročítáním Archivů Jediů na Coruscantu a sní o tom, že se stane jedním z největších učenců řádu Jedi. Ale Reathova mistryně, vysoce respektovaná Jora Malli, má jiné plány: přijala místo na Majáku Hvězdosvit, nové úchvatné republikové základně na okraji známého vesmíru. Reath jako její padawan ji musí následovat, ať se mu to líbí, nebo ne. A tak Reath neochotně nastoupí na loď, která má jeho a další Jedie dopravit na Maják Hvězdosvit, kde na něj čeká mistryně Jora, aby v pohraničí začali nový život plný dobrodružství. Ale potíže v hyperprostoru loď i posádku vyvrhnou uprostřed prázdného vesmíru, kde jedinou připomínkou civilizace je děsuplná opuštěná vesmírná stanice. A tajemství, která jsou v ní ukrytá, nejenže přivedou Reatha na rozcestí, ale kdyby nebyla zkrocena, mohla by uvrhnout celou galaxii do temnoty…

Bianca szökni akar. Bianca új diák az Evernight Akadémián, egy háborzongató, gótikus bentlakásos iskolában, ahol az osztálytársak valahogy mind túlságosan tökéletesek: okosak, elegánsak, jófomán olyanok, mint a ragadozók. Bianca tisztában van vele, hogy nem illik közéjük. Ekkor találkozik Lucassal, aki szintén kilóg a sorból, s aki szemmel láthatólag mindent megtesz azért, hogy ne legyen olyan, mint a többi evernightos. Kettejük között tagadhatatlanul van valamiféle vonzalom. Bianca minden veszélyt vállalna, hogy a fiúval lehessen, de sötét, régesrégi titkok elszakítják őket egymástól. Bianca ekkor megkérdőjelez mindent, amit eddig igaznak hitt. Claudia Gray rossz csillagzat alatt született szerelmi története, és a veszélyes szövetségeket felvonultató izgalmas események lélegzetelállító modern vámpírmese a mai olvasónak. Claudia Gray New Yorkban él és dolgozik. Az Evernight az első regénye.

Miután megmenekültek az Evernight Akadémiáról, a bentlakásos vámpíriskolából, ahol megismerkedtek, Bianca és Lucas a Fekete Keresztnél talál menedéket. Biancának titkolnia kell különös örökségét, máskülönben az életét kockáztatná a fanatikus vámpírvadászok között. De hamarosan értelmetlenné válik a titkolózás, és újból menekülni kényszerülnek, de ezúttal nem csak a Fekete kereszt üldözi őket, hanem az Evernight vezetősége is. Nem számít, milyen messzire szöknek, Bianca nem futhat el a végzete elől. Vajon a szerelem erősebb a végzetnél is?
