Le più grandi passioni amorose sono da sempre condannate ad affrontare ostacoli insormontabili e quindi destinate a difficoltà di ogni genere prima di poter trovare compimento. Eppure conoscere i conflitti che impediscono l'amore tra Ani e Devlin significa addentrarsi in un mondo ancora più misterioso e oscuro. Qui l'universo del piccolo popolo, così lontano dagli idilliaci folletti cui ci hanno abituato le fiabe, è governato da regine bellissime e spietate per le quali sedurre o uccidere sono strumenti per uno stesso scopo: dominare. Ecco un intreccio di segreti che serpeggia tra la nostra realtà e una dimensione fantastica in cui l'alternanza tra il giorno e la notte è il frutto dei desideri di un'unica persona, ecco come il capriccio delle fate fa sì che piante solitamente prive di spine possano d'un tratto diventare rovi e graffiare. Ed è qui che la passione amorosa tra Ani e Devlin, tra una ragazza incantevole e ribelle, per metà mortale e per metà essere fatato, e il sicario dell'Alta Corte, sboccerà. Perché i due sono indissolubilmente legati da un destino che li rende allo stesso tempo minaccia e protezione l'uno per l'altra. Ani e Devlin, il cui primo bacio segnerà l'inizio di una catena di avvenimenti di inimmaginabile portata...

Seth non avrebbe mai immaginato di desiderare una relazione stabile, prima che nella sua vita arrivasse Aislinn: lei è tutto quanto ha sempre sognato e ora la vuole accanto a sè, per sempre. Ma per sempre assume un nuovo significato quando la tua ragazza è diventata l'immortale regina dell'estate. Aislinn, d'altro canto, non avrebbe mai immaginato di trasformarsi in una delle creature fatate che la terrorizzano: ma anche questo accadeva prima dell'arrivo di Keenan, il ragazzo che per averla al fianco l'ha privata della sua mortalità. Ora questa giovane fata, ancora legata alla vita terrena, si trova di fronte a sfide e seduzioni che vanno oltre ogni più incredibile supposizione e che porranno duramente alla prova la sua integrità e il suo amore. Nell'ipotetico terzo capitolo della saga di Melissa marr, Seth e Aislinn lottano per restare fedeli l'uno all'altra in un universo in cui i ruoi si confondono, i patti si fanno instabili, gli amici diventano nemici e un solo passo falso può far sprofondare l'universo nel caos.

Dopo la fortunatissima serie Wicked Lovely Melissa Marr si rivolge qui per la prima volta a un pubblico più adulto e crea un accattivante mistery dalle atmosfere gotiche. Claysville è una piccola città di nessuna importanza. Rebecca è cresciuta qui, insieme alla nonna e da quando ha lasciato questo luogo noioso e familiare sono passati dieci anni. Ora la nonna è morta e Beck ritorna. Per scoprire che Claysville non è semplicemente quella piccola città sonnolenta che ricorda. Lì il mondo dei vivi e quello dei morti sono pericolosamente collegati; al di sotto della città si trova una terra ombrosa e senza legge. Tra i due mondi: esiste un patto: se i morti non vengono trattati con cura, torneranno indietro per saziarsi con cibo, bevande e storie della terra dei vivi. Ed è Beek l’unica persona che sa cosa va fatto, perché la soluzione è nel segreto che custodisce.

Misconosciuta ai mortali, una lotta per il potere si sta scatenando in un mondo di ombre e pericoli. Dopo secoli di stabilità, l’equilibrio all’interno delle corti fatate si è spezzato e Irial, il re della Corte Oscura, si batte per salvaguardare i suoi sudditi, ribelli e vulnerabili. Se dovesse fallire, ne seguirebbero spargimenti di sangue e crudeltà spietate. Leslie, a diciassette anni, non sa niente né delle fate né dei loro intrighi. D’improvviso si sente attratta da un tatuaggio incantato: capisce di doverlo avere a ogni costo, convinta che sia il simbolo tangibile di quel cambiamento che sta disperatamente cercando. Il tatuaggio in effetti porterà con sé molte trasformazioni, ma non del genere che lei immaginava: sono eventi sinistri e avvincenti, tutt’altro che simbolici. Avvenimenti che uniranno Leslie a Irial, attirandola sempre più in un universo fatato cui sembrerà incapace di resistere, scoprendosi impotente di fronte ai suoi pericoli.

Aislinn vive con la nonna in una cittadina della provincia americana. La sua vita assomiglia a quella di milioni di ragazze, se non fosse che ha il potere di vedere le fate. Fate malvagie che infestano la città, creature pagane, maliziose e lascive che si presentano in bande a fare dispetti, divertendosi alle spalle degli umani. Aislinn ha imparato a proteggersi da loro facendo finta di non vedere, seguendo i consigli della nonna: non guardare le fate invisibili, non rivolgere loro la parola e non attirare mai la loro attenzione. Ma quando alcuni esseri fatati cominciano a seguirla da vicino, le regole diventano impossibili da rispettare e lei confessa il segreto alla persona più cara che ha: Seth, diciotto anni, piercing e il vagone di un treno abbandonato come casa, un ragazzo verso cui prova sentimenti che vanno al di là dell'amicizia. Il loro legame sarà messo a dura prova da Keenan, Re dell'Estate e guida del Regno Fatato, che vede in Aislinn la destinata a diventare la compagna della sua vita. Per lei diventa sempre più difficile allontanarlo, resistere alla sua bellezza abbagliante, ignorare quella strana e calda alchimia che la scuote in ogni parte. Il cuore di Aislinn è diviso: dovrà fare la sua scelta, in un conflitto tra amore eterno e amore terreno.

Amori infernali è una raccolta di racconti scritti da alcuni tra i più celebri e amati narratori per ragazzi: Melissa Marr, Scott Westerfeld, Justine Larbalestier, Gabrielle Zevin e Laurie Faria Stolarz. Storie inquietanti e bizzarre, che ruotano sempre intorno a un elemento soprannaturale. Due studenti lasciano che il potere dell’attrazione capovolga il loro mondo; una liceale s’identifica completamente nel libro che sta leggendo; una fanciulla s’innamora del fantasma del ragazzo che abitava in casa sua; e ancora fate, elfi, creature fantastiche del folklore e dell’immaginario celtico reinterpretate con originalità e inventiva, e un pizzico d’ironia. Un mondo strabiliante e misterioso in cui ogni incontro, ogni personaggio, ogni evento può condurre verso territori sconosciuti, e nel quale l’unica bussola cui affidarsi per non perdersi è l’amore.
