Immortal reign

A snarky seventeen-year-old must team up with an enigmatic criminal to cure herself of dangerous forbidden magic in the first book of a new fantasy duology from Morgan Rhodes, the New York Times bestselling author of the Falling Kingdoms series. Josslyn Drake knows only three things about magic: it's rare, illegal, and always deadly. So when she's caught up in a robbery gone wrong at the Queen's Gala and infected by a dangerous piece of magic--one that allows her to step into the memories of an infamously evil warlock--she finds herself living her worst nightmare. Joss needs the magic removed before it corrupts her soul and kills her. But in Ironport, the cost of doing magic is death, and seeking help mightmean scheduling her own execution. There's nobody she can trust. Nobody, that is, except wanted criminal Jericho Nox, who offers her a deal: his help extracting the magic in exchange for the magic itself. And though she's not thrilled to be working with a thief, especially one as infuriating (and infuriatingly handsome) as Jericho, Joss is desperate enough to accept. But Jericho is nothing like Joss expects. The closer she grows with Jericho and the more she sees of the world outside her pampered life in the city, the more Joss begins to question the beliefs she's always taken for granted--beliefs about right and wrong, about power and magic, and even about herself. In an empire built on lies, the truth may be her greatest weapon.

El abrazo de las tinieblas

La caduta dei tre regni

Depois que o rei Gaius de Limeros conquistou as terras de Auranos e subjugou o povo sofrido de Paelsia, passou a dominar toda a Mítica com seu punho de ferro. A rica população de Auranos parece não se importar com o novo governante, desde que seus privilégios sejam mantidos; os paelsianos, como sempre, aceitam seu destino de exploração. Mas a tranquilidade é só aparente: grupos rebeldes começam a surgir nos reinos dominados, questionando as mentiras e os métodos sangrentos do novo rei. Enquanto isso, Gaius obedece à sua mais nova conselheira e dá início à construção de uma estrada passando pelas temidas Montanhas Proibidas. Mas essa via não servirá apenas para interligar os três reinos: ela faz parte de uma busca pela magia elementar, perdida há mil anos, que conferirá ao tirano um poder supremo. O que ninguém esperava era que essa obra desencadearia uma série de eventos catastróficos, que mudarão aquelas terras para sempre e forçarão Cleo, Magnus, Lucia e Jonas a tomar decisões até então inimagináveis.

A primavera rebelde

No terceiro volume da série A Queda dos Reinos, todos acreditam estar perto de encontrar a Tétrade. Mas o destino é instável quando a magia está em jogo... Depois de conquistar Mítica inteira, o rei Gaius ainda não está satisfeito: sua nova missão é encontrar a Tétrade, quatro cristais mágicos perdidos, capazes de conferir poderes indescritíveis a quem os reunir. Para isso, ele conta com os conselhos de Melenia, uma imortal que o visita em seus sonhos e que o instruiu a criar uma estrada ligando todos os reinos. Gaius acredita que está no caminho certo e que Lucia, sua filha adotiva, será a chave para localizar e despertar os cristais. Mas o Rei Sanguinário não é o único que cobiça essa magia milenar: vindos de Kraeshia, um império vizinho muito influente, o príncipe Ashur e a princesa Amara conhecem as lendas de Mítica e desconfiam de que a Tétrade não seja apenas um mito. Logo eles entram na disputa e buscam seus próprios aliados nessa corrida pelo poder. Um período de trevas se abate sobre Mítica, e nesses tempos sombrios Jonas, Cleo, Magnus e Lucia precisam descobrir o quanto antes em quem podem confiar.

Saindo do controle de humanos e imortais, os deuses se uniram e planejam destruir todos os reinos, começando por Mítica. Enquanto Jonas continua ignorando o destino que o liga a Lucia, a feiticeira está preocupada em encontrar maneiras de proteger sua filha — mesmo que isso signifique enfrentar sozinha Kyan, o deus do fogo. Amara também está disposta a encarar os deuses elementares. Apesar de ter voltado para o Império Kraeshiano, não desistiu de se tornar a mais poderosa dos reinos. Ao lado da avó, pretende conquistar Mítica só para si. Magnus e Cleo terão seus sentimentos testados mais uma vez. Com os inimigos se aproximando e uma magia maligna tomando conta dos territórios de Mítica, eles precisam descobrir se o amor que sentem é o suficiente para vencer as forças que querem destruí-los — e a toda a nação.
