"Enter a school of magic unlike any you have ever encountered: There are no teachers, no holidays, and no friendships save strategic ones. Survival is more important than any letter grade, for the school won't allow its students to leave until they graduate . . . or die. The rules are deceptively simple: Don't walk the halls alone. And beware of the monsters who lurk everywhere. El is uniquely prepared for the school's dangers. She may be without allies, but she possesses a dark power strong enough to level mountains and wipe out untold millions. It would be easy enough for El to defeat the monsters that prowl the school. The problem? Her powerful dark magic might also kill all the other students. So El is trying her hardest not to use her power . . . at least not until she has no other option. Meanwhile, her fellow student, the insufferable Orion Lake, is making heroism look like a breeze. He's saved hundreds of lives--including El's - with his flashy combat magic. But in the spring of their junior year, after Orion rescues El for the second time and makes her look like more of an outcast than she already is, she reaches an impulsive conclusion: Orion Lake must die. But El is about to learn some lessons she never could in the classroom: About the school. About Orion Lake. And about who she really is."--Provided by publisher.
Miryem is the daughter and granddaughter of moneylenders, but her father's inability to collect his debts has left his family on the edge of poverty--until Miryem takes matters into her own hands. Hardening her heart, the young woman sets out to claim what is owed and soon gains a reputation for being able to turn silver into gold. When an ill-advised boast draws the attention of the king of the Staryk--grim fey creatures who seem more ice than flesh--Miryem's fate, and that of two kingdoms, will be forever altered. Set an impossible challenge by the nameless king, Miryem unwittingly spins a web that draws in a peasant girl, Wanda, and the unhappy daughter of a local lord who plots to wed his child to the dashing young tsar. But Tsar Mirnatius is not what he seems. And the secret he hides threatens to consume the lands of humans and Staryk alike. Torn between deadly choices, Miryem and her two unlikely allies embark on a desperate quest that will take them to the limits of sacrifice, power, and love
Mi rincresce informarvi che mi sono tolta la vita. Era una decisione che meditavo da tempo e di cui mi assumo tutta la responsabilità. So che vi addolorerà, e mi dispiace tanto per questo, ma dovevo porre termine alla mia sofferenza. Voi non c'entrate niente, è stata una mia scelta. Voi non avete nessuna colpa. Questa è la lettera che Cody riceve il giorno in cui Meg, la migliore amica di sempre, si toglie la vita bevendo una bottiglia di candeggina in una squallida stanza di un motel. Cresciute insieme, Meg e Cody erano inseparabili, non esistevano segreti tra loro, o almeno questo era quello che pensava Cody. Quando però va a recuperare le cose dell'amica nella città dove un anno prima si era trasferita per andare al college, scopre che c'è tutta una parte della vita di Meg da cui lei era stata esclusa: i coinquilini, gli amici del college e Ben. Il ragazzo con la chitarra, un sorriso strafottente e tanti, troppi lati oscuri. E poi c'è un file criptato sul computer dell'amica che una volta aperto sconvolgerà Cody: all'improvviso tutto quello che credeva di sapere su Meg sembrerà non avere più senso.
