Sinopsis 

Porque a veces basta con un «deja que ocurra» para arriesgarlo todo

Leah está rota. Leah ya no pinta. Leah es un espejismo desde el accidente que se llevó a sus padres.

Axel es el mejor amigo de su hermano mayor y, cuando accede a acogerla en su casa durante unos meses, quiere ayudarla a encontrar y unir los pedazos de la chica llena de color que un día fue. Pero no sabe que ella siempre ha estado enamorada de él, a pesar de que sean casi familia, ni de que toda su vida está a punto de cambiar. 

Porque ella está prohibida, pero le despierta la piel. 

Porque es el mar, noches estrelladas y vinilos de los Beatles.

Porque a veces basta un «deja que ocurra» para tenerlo todo.

Sinopsis 

One thousand years ago, the great Kami Dragon was summoned to grant a single terrible wish—and the land of Iwagoto was plunged into an age of darkness and chaos.

Now, for whoever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers, a new wish will be granted. A new age is about to dawn.

Raised by monks in the isolated Silent Winds temple, Yumeko has trained all her life to hide her yokai nature. Half kitsune, half human, her skill with illusion is matched only by her penchant for mischief. Until the day her home is burned to the ground, her adoptive family is brutally slain and she is forced to flee for her life with the temple’s greatest treasure—one part of the ancient scroll.

There are many who would claim the dragon’s wish for their own. Kage Tatsumi, a mysterious samurai of the Shadow Clan, is one such hunter, under orders to retrieve the scroll…at any cost. Fate brings Kage and Yumeko together. With a promise to lead him to the scroll, an uneasy alliance is formed, offering Yumeko her best hope for survival. But he seeks what she has hidden away, and her deception could ultimately tear them both apart.

With an army of demons at her heels and the unlikeliest of allies at her side, Yumeko’s secrets are more than a matter of life or death. They are the key to the fate of the world itself.

She’s everything he wants…. 

Cold. Heartless. Deadly. Whispers of his name alone bring fear to fae and mortals alike. The Prince. There is nothing in the mortal world more dangerous than him. Haunted by a past he couldn’t control, all Caden desires is revenge against those who’d wronged him, trapping him in never-ending nightmare. And there is one person he knows can help him. 

She’s everything he can’t have…

She’s everything he’ll take…. 

But there’s someone out there who wants to return the Prince to his former self. A walking, breathing nightmare that is hell bent on destroying the world and everyone close to him.

Sinopsis 

Aphrodite knows love. Just don’t ask her to figure out her own heart. 

Instead, she toys with the hearts of humans. It’s a little game the gods play, and this time it’s Aphrodite’s turn to defend the domain of love. The battleground is New York City, and the stakes are high—the winner receives a token, a favor the loser must fulfill. 

But every god has secrets. Every god lies. And no god can be trusted.

Apollo is no exception. He killed Aphrodite’s love, and for that, he can never be forgiven. But Apollo is on a mission to win. For thousands of years, Aphrodite has kept him from the one he loves, but the wind has shifted, and now is his chance.

God and goddess will choose their players. The clock will start. Two humans will fall in love, or they won’t—their fates are intertwined with the gods, their hearts slave to their circumstance, a slave to the game.

And in this game of love, Aphrodite never loses.

Sinopsis 

Dicen que a la hora de vengarse el más débil puede ser el más feroz. Y en Silverville, Colorado, una venganza está a punto de fulminar todos sus sueños de plata.

Cuando en 1872 Grace Mallory se instala en la antigua mansión de su familia política, los rumores no tardan en circular por el pueblo. ¿Una dama viviendo sola en un caserón deshabitado? ¿Por qué no la ha acompañado John, el heredero de la compañía minera con el que contrajo matrimonio lejos de allí? ¿Y qué pretende ahora al mudarse a la zona?

A sus veintidós años, Ruby Lawrence ha experimentado de sobra la sensación de ser subestimada por su condición de mujer. Por eso no le sorprende que nadie tome en serio su desconfianza por la recién llegada. No obstante, sus familiares deberían hacerlo... Al fin y al cabo, fueron ellos quienes asesinaron al padre de John.

Mientras la paz de Silverville se resquebraja, Grace y Ruby se sumen en un intrincado juego donde el sacrificio de cualquier peón merecerá la pena con tal de ganar la partida y donde sólo quedará una certeza: el mundo es un escenario y los hombres y mujeres, meros actores.

Sinopsis 

En 1923, Helena Lennox tiene diecisiete años y un único deseo: sustituir las calles de Londres por una vida de aventuras y excavaciones en tierras lejanas. En consecuencia, cuando sus padres se marchan a la India para investigar la desaparición de unos arqueólogos, ella decide acompañarlos... unos días después y a escondidas.

Son muchas las leyendas que circulan en torno a la ciudad fantasma de Bhangarh, pero Helena nunca ha creído en las supersticiones. No obstante, el príncipe Arshad de Jaipur (sí, ese que odia a los ingleses) le insiste en que se equivoca: Bhangarh está maldita y al anochecer, cuando el palacio real se tiñe de oscuridad, todo el que se adentra en sus muros desaparece sin dejar rastro.

En su recorrido por la exótica India de los años veinte, Helena se ve envuelta en una investigación en la que solo una verdad parece salir constantemente a la luz: nadie regresa de la ciudad de las sombras.

Ivy Morgan hasn't been feeling like herself lately. Not like anyone can blame her. After all, being held captive by a psychotic fae prince hell-bent on permanently opening the gates to the Otherworld is bound to leave some mental scars. 

It’s more than that, though. Something dark and insidious is spreading throughout Ivy, more powerful than she could ever imagine... and it’s coming between her and the man she’s fallen deeply in love with, elite Order member Ren Owens. 

Ren would do anything to keep Ivy safe. Anything. But when he makes a life altering choice for her, the fallout of his act has far reaching consequences that threaten to tear their lives apart. 

If Ivy is going to have any hope of surviving this, she must put aside the hurt and betrayal she feels, and work with not only those she loves, but with an enemy she would rather kill than ever trust. War is coming, and it soon becomes clear that what Ivy and Ren thought they knew about the Order, themselves, and even their enemies, has been nothing but a cluster of dangerous, deadly lies. 

Ivy knows she must be more than just brave to save those she loves--and, ultimately, to save herself. 

Because behind every evil fae Prince, there’s a Queen….
