      I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside. Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina’s black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto, an abomination, ruining their family’s good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever’s survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars—they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites. Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it’s Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all. Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they’ve never seen. Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn’t belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her. It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.

      A New York Times Bestseller Now in paperback, the second edge-of-your-seat installment in the New York Times bestselling series by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff, called stylistically mesmerizing and out-of-this-world-awesome by reviewers. Moving to a space station at the edge of the galaxy was always going to be the death of Hanna's social life. Nobody said it might actually get her killed. The sci-fi saga that began with the breakout bestseller Illuminae continues on board the Jump Station Heimdall, where two new characters will confront the next wave of the BeiTech assault. Hanna is the station captain's pampered daughter; Nik the reluctant member of a notorious crime family. But while the pair are struggling with the realities of life aboard the galaxy's most boring space station, little do they know that Kady Grant and the Hypatia are headed right toward Heimdall, carrying news of the Kerenza invasion. When an elite BeiTech strike team invades the station, Hanna and Nik are thrown together to defend their home. But alien predators are picking off the station residents one by one, and a malfunction in the station's wormhole means the space-time continuum might be ripped in two before dinner. Soon Hanna and Nik aren't just fighting for their own survival; the fate of everyone on the Hypatia-and possibly the known universe-is in their hands. But relax. They've totally got this. They hope. Once again told through a compelling dossier of emails, IMs, classified files, transcripts, and schematics, Gemina raises the stakes of the Illuminae Files, hurling readers into an enthralling new story that will leave them breathless. Praise for Illuminae: A New York Times Bestseller A PW Bestseller Out-of-this-world awesome. -Kirkus Reviews, Starred Stylistically mesmerizing. -Publishers Weekly, Starred An arresting visual experience. -Booklist, Starred A game- changer. -Shelf Awareness, Starred

      Asha Grant è approdata su Kerenza per sfuggire al suo passato. Peccato che questo l'abbia appena raggiunta. La ragazza è sopravvissuta all'assalto della BeiTech e da quel momento collabora in incognito con i pochi, disperati, coraggiosi membri della resistenza mentre, nel frattempo, si domanda cosa fare del segreto che tiene nascosto. L'ultima cosa che immaginava era di doversi preoccupare del suo ex, Rhys Lindstrom, appena sbarcato sul pianeta e più bello che mai nella sua uniforme BeiTech nuova fiammante. Chi può dirle con certezza se il ragazzo sarà per lei una via d'uscita o la garanzia che non se ne andrà mai viva da quel sasso congelato? Asha non è l'unica nei guai: la banda di sopravvissuti guidati da sua cugina Kady sta tornando su Kerenza, ma non ha abbastanza ossigeno per il viaggio. Oltretutto dietro l'angolo potrebbe anche esserci il rischio di un ammutinamento, ma non saranno certo queste inezie a fermare il Gruppo Illuminae. Purtroppo il tempo non è dalla loro parte. La BeiTech ha pianificato lo sterminio di tutti i civili su Kerenza ed è a un passo dal realizzarlo: soltanto un miracolo può salvarli. E i miracoli, lo sanno tutti, sono soltanto probabilità statistiche... o no?
