Hi! I write fantasy books. My latest is STRANGE THE DREAMER, about a young librarian, a mythic lost city, and the half-human children of murdered gods. Check it out :-) Before that I wrote the DAUGHTER OF SMOKE & BONE trilogy, which has been translated into 32 languages. It's about a blue-haired art student raised by monsters, a broken angel, and a war that has raged for 1000 years in another world. I also wrote LIPS TOUCH: THREE TIMES, which was a National Book Award finalist, and the DREAMDARK books. As well as various short stories and novellas. Thanks for reading!! www.lainitaylor.com@lainitaylor
A Musa dos Pesadelos (Um Estranho Sonhador, #2)
Laini Taylor
As respostas aos mistérios apresentados no primeiro volume estão nesta linda história de amor e ódio, vingança e redenção, destruição e salvação – a emocionante sequência do aclamado Um estranho sonhador.
Sarai vive e respira pesadelos desde os seis anos de idade. Ela acreditava que conhecia todo horror e que nada a surpreenderia – mas estava errada. Após o final surpreendente do primeiro volume da duologia, Sarai e Lazlo – o estranho sonhador – lutam para compreender os novos limites de si mesmos enquanto sofrem nas mãos de uma deusa de mente sombria que deseja se vingar dos habitantes da cidade de Lamento.
Enquanto humanos e deuses temem as consequências desse embate, um novo inimigo quebra suas frágeis esperanças e os mistérios dos Mesarthim são ressuscitados: de onde vieram os deuses e por quê? O que foi feito com as milhares de crianças nascidas no berçário da cidadela? E o mais importante de tudo: ao abrir portas esquecidas que revelam novos mundos, os heróis sempre devem matar monstros, ou é possível salvá-los?
Sarai vai descobrir que apenas a mais terrível necessidade pode nos mostrar nossas próprias profundezas – e ela, a Musa dos Pesadelos, ainda não descobriu do que é capaz.
A Quimera de Praga (Entre Mundos, #1)
Laini Taylor
Pelos quatro cantos do mundo, marcas de mãos negras começam a aparecer nas portas, gravadas a fogo por estranhos seres alados, saídos de uma fenda no céu.
Numa loja escura e empoeirada, o abastecimento de dentes humanos de um demónio começa a ficar perigosamente reduzido. E nas ruelas labirínticas de Praga, uma jovem está prestes a embarcar numa jornada sem retorno.
O seu nome é Karou. Karou não sabe quem é, nem porque vive dividida entre o mundo humano e a sua família de demónios, mas crê que as respostas podem estar para lá de uma porta nos recantos sombrios de uma loja, ou no confronto com um completo desconhecido, de olhar abrasador e aparência divina - o anjo que queimou as entradas para o seu mundo, deixando-a só.
Blackbringer (Faeries of Dreamdark, #1)
Laini Taylor
When the ancient evil of the Blackbringer rises to unmake the world, only one determined faerie stands in its way. However, Magpie Windwitch, granddaughter of the West Wind, is not like other faeries. While her kind live in seclusion deep in the forests of Dreamdark, she's devoted her life to tracking down and recapturing devils escaped from their ancient bottles, just as her hero, the legendary Bellatrix, did 25,000 years ago. With her faithful gang of crows, she travels the world fighting where others would choose to flee. But when a devil escapes from a bottle sealed by the ancient Djinn King himself, the creator of the world, she may be in over her head. How can a single faerie, even with the help of her friends, hope to defeat the impenetrable darkness of the Blackbringer?

Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1)
Laini Taylor
Around the world, black hand prints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil’s supply of human teeth grows dangerously low.
And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war.
Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real, she’s prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands", she speaks many languages - not all of them human - and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she’s about to find out.
When beautiful, haunted Akiva fixes fiery eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?

Laini Taylor
„Dawno, dawno temu Anioł i Diabeł trzymali wspólnie kość życzeń.
Gdy ją przełamali, świat pękł na pół.”
"Karou żyje" – tylko ta myśl o tym powstrzymuje Akivę od porzucenia nadziei na wspólną przyszłość. Anioł stawia wyznacza sobie jeden cel: odnajdzie dziewczynę za wszelką cenę. Nawet jeśli po raz kolejny będzie musiał sprzeciwić się anielskiemu prawu i stanąć twarzą w twarz z Hazaelem i Liraz – rodzeństwem, któremu zawdzięcza wszystko.
Karou jest na służbie u Białego Wilka i jako rezurekcjonistka próbuje chronić dziedzictwo Brimstone’a. Choć wróciła do swojego ludu, nadal czuje się obco. Wciąż przeszywają ja oceniające spojrzenia i tylko posługa czyni ją nietykalną. Rozsądek nakazuje jej lojalność wobec chimer, jednak serce nie potrafi zapomnieć o Akivie. O serafinie, który stał się jej zgubą…

When the brutal angel emperor brings his army to the human world, Karou and Akiva are finally reunited - not in love, but in a tentative alliance against their common enemy. It is a twisted version of their long-ago dream, and they begin to hope that it might forge a way forward for their people. And, perhaps, for themselves.
But with even bigger threats on the horizon, are Karou and Akiva strong enough to stand among the gods and monsters?
The New York Times bestselling Daughter of Smoke & Bone trilogy comes to a stunning conclusion as - from the streets of Rome to the caves of the Kirin and beyond - humans, chimaera, and seraphim strive, love, and die in an epic theater that transcends good and evil, right and wrong, friend and enemy.

Beware of souls that want too much.
Kizzy's family are from the Old Country. They cut the heads off chickens, have anvils in their yard and sing songs in a language that her teachers have never heard of. They believe in talking foxes, witch soldiers and goblins who crave the souls of a particular type of girl. Girls who wish they were prettier, had normal relatives and, most of all, were noticed by the boy they have fallen for at school.
Girls like Kizzy...

Il sognatore (Strange the Dreamer, #1)
Laini Taylor
È il sogno a scegliere il sognatore, e non il contrario: Lazlo Strange ne è sicuro, ma è anche assolutamente.certo che il suo sogno sia destinato a non avverarsi mai. Orfano, allevato da monaci austeri che hanno cercato in tutti i modi di estirpare dalla sua mente il germe della fantasia, il piccolo Lazlo sembra destinato a un'esistenza anonima. Eppure il bambino rimane affascinato dai racconti confusi di un monaco anziano, racconti che parlano della città perduta di Pianto, caduta nell'oblio da duecento anni: ma quale evento inimmaginabile e terribile ha cancellato questo luogo mitico dalla memoria del mondo? I segreti della città leggendaria si trasformano per Lazlo in un'ossessione. Una volta diventato bibliotecario, il ragazzo alimenterà la sua sete di conoscenza con le storie contenute nei libri dimenticati della Grande Biblioteca, pur sapendo che il suo sogno più grande, ossia vedere la misteriosa Pianto con i propri occhi, rimarrà irrealizzato. Ma quando un eroe straniero, chiamato il Massacratore degli Dèi, e la sua delegazione di guerrieri si presentano alla biblioteca, per Strange il Sognatore si delinea l'opportunità di vivere un'avventura dalle premesse straordinarie.
La chimera di Praga (La chimera di Praga, #1)
Laini Taylor
Karou ha 17 anni, è una studentessa d’arte e per le strade di Praga, la città dove vive, non passa inosservata: i suoi capelli crescono di un naturale blu acceso, la sua pelle è ricoperta da un’intricata filigrana di tatuaggi e parla una straordinaria quantità di lingue. Spesso scompare per giorni, e nessuno sospetta che durante quelle assenze vada in giro per il mondo a compiere missioni per Sulphurus, il demone chimera che l’ha adottata alla nascita. Karou non sa nulla delle proprie origini, né possiede ricordi dei suoi veri genitori, e una strana sensazione di vuoto, di memoria perduta agita i suoi pensieri e i suoi sogni senza mai abbandonarla. Così la sua quotidianità praghese, dominata dalla passione per il disegno, è intervallata da improvvisi ed esotici viaggi che la conducono fin dentro i più fumosi vicoli della medina di Marrakesh. Chi è dunque questa giovane e talentuosa avventuriera? Quale mondo si cela in quei disegni di corpi metà animali e metà umani che costellano i suoi fogli? Arriverà una guerra, spietata e senza tempo, a svelare la natura di Karou e della sua famiglia e a farle conoscere il vero amore, tanto passionale quanto contrastato. Il risultato sarà un racconto ricco di atmosfere, in cui figure di antiche religioni si fonderanno con la tradizione magica del vecchio mondo.
La città di sabbia (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #2)
Laini Taylor
La studentessa d’arte Karou ha finalmente le risposte che ha sempre cercato. Sa chi è e cosa è. Ma, insieme a questa scoperta, un’altra verità affiora in superficie, una realtà che la ragazza farebbe di tutto pur di ignorare: ha amato un ragazzo che le è nemico, lui l’ha tradita e per questo il suo mondo è sconvolto. Ora, in una kasbah dimenticata nel deserto del Marocco, Karou e i suoi alleati si preparano a uno scontro definitivo contro l’armata dei serafini e sotto la luce delle stelle plasmano creature di potente forza distruttiva. Akiva, legato dall’appartenenza all’esercito degli angeli, ma gravato da un profondo conflitto interiore, inizia a progettare un altro tipo di battaglia: quella per il riscatto. Per la speranza.

Oltre i confini della Terra, in un luogo effimero e invisibile, due giovani creature, un guerriero serafino e una chimera si sono incontrati e tra di loro è nato un amore impossibile.

I due ragazzi però hanno un sogno, portare la pace e la serenità tra i loro due popoli e vivere il loro amore senza l’ombra del pericolo e della segretezza. Ma il destino non sarà misericordioso per questi due amanti sfortunati, che verranno scoperti e condannati a morte. Akiva riuscirà a fuggire e mettersi in salvo, mentre Karou verrà giustiziata, ma grazie al suo padre adottivo, un resuscitatore, la sua anima verrà trasmigrata in un corpo umano. Ma Karou non potrà per sempre nascondersi dalla sua vera identità e quando scoprirà tutto sul suo passato sarà anche il momento di ritrovare Akiva e continuare ciò che avevano iniziato insieme. Riusciranno a costruire un dialogo di pace tra i due nemici e scongiurare un conflitto che potrebbe distruggere le loro vite e il loro mondo?

La musa degli incubi (Strange the Dreamer, #2)
Laini Taylor
La peggiore paura degli abitanti di Pianto si è concretizzata: nella minacciosa fortezza di mesarzio i figli degli dèi sono ancora vivi. Sarai è diventata un fantasma, mentre il Sognatore ha appena scoperto di essere lui stesso un dio dalla pelle blu, l’unico capace di fronteggiare l’oscura Minya, animata dall’implacabile desiderio di vendetta nei confronti degli umani che massacrarono la sua gente. Lazlo si troverà di fronte alla più impensabile delle scelte: salvare la donna che ama oppure tutti gli altri. Ma inquietanti misteri dimenticati chiedono di essere risolti: da dove sono arrivati, veramente, i Mesarthim, e cosa ne è stato di tutti i bambini nati nella fortezza durante il dominio di Skathis? Quando i portali dimenticati si apriranno di nuovo, mondi lontani diventeranno pericolosamente vicini e un inatteso, potente nemico arriverà deciso a spazzare via le fragili speranze di tutti, dèi e umani. Sarai, la Musa degli Incubi, conoscitrice di ogni genere di paura fin da quando aveva sei anni, sarà costretta ad affrontare orrori che neanche immaginava e ad andare oltre i suoi stessi limiti: l’esperienza le ha insegnato che l’odio e il terrore sono sentimenti facili da provocare. Ma come si fa a rovesciare l’odio, a disinnescare la vendetta? È possibile salvare i mostri, piuttosto che annientarli? In questo atteso seguito del bestseller Il Sognatore va in scena lo scontro tra distruzione e salvezza: La Musa degli Incubi conclude in modo epico l’acclamata dilogia di Laini Taylor.

Il est un monde où hommes et femmes naissent avec un don précieux, dont seuls les plus puissants gagnent le droit de se servir en temps utile, mais toujours au nom de l'Empire. À respectivement seize et dix-sept ans, Nova et Kora rêvent du jour tant attendu où des envoyés à la peau bleue viendront enfin les enlever. Alors, seulement, elles pourront accomplir leur véritable destin.
Très loin de là, à travers l'espace et le temps, dans la mythique Cité oubliée – qu'après tant d'années, Lazlo Lestrange peut désormais contempler de ses yeux –, retentit une explosion qui fait basculer son monde et celui de Sarai. Leur avenir ne tient désormais plus qu'à un fil, celui que manipule par la seule force de son esprit une enfant cruelle et meurtrie. À la fois plus puissant et plus vulnérable que jamais, le jeune homme va devoir choisir : sauver celle qu'il aime ou bien tous les habitants de la ville interdite jusqu'au dernier.
Sans compter qu'un danger plus grave encore menace... Car l'oiseau blanc qui surveille la citadelle depuis toujours veille, et il est grand temps pour lui de passer enfin à l'action. Dieux, monstres, fantômes, mondes étranges et guerre totale, La Muse des cauchemars clôt avec maestria une série aussi poétique que haletante.

Laini Taylor
C'est le rêve qui choisit le rêveur, et non l'inverse...
Il est une ville, au centre du désert, où nul n'a le droit de se rendre sous peine de mort. De ses entrailles sortaient autrefois d'interminables caravanes chargées de trésors mais, depuis deux cents ans, la cité est coupée du reste du monde... Pire encore, un soir d'hiver, le nom de ce lieu de légende s'évanouit en un clin d'œil de la mémoire de tous – Lazlo Lestrange, orphelin de cinq ans à peine, ne fait pas exception à la règle. Frappé au cœur, le petit garçon restera irrémédiablement fasciné par cette énigme.
Quinze ans plus tard, il travaille dans la plus grande bibliothèque du monde, à Zosma, en rêvant de fabuleuses découvertes quand, de la Cité oubliée, émerge tout à coup une curieuse expédition venue recruter les meilleurs scientifiques du continent. Pourquoi diable s'obstiner à réunir ces esprits éminents ? Mystère... Et pourquoi Lazlo voit-il donc ses songes se peupler de visions étranges – à commencer par une déesse à la peau bleue pourtant assassinée, des années plus tôt, par les habitants de la ville interdite ? Qui est-elle vraiment ? Comment le jeune homme, qui ignore tout de sa légende, peut-il bien la voir en rêve ?

Marzyciel (Strange the Dreamer, #1)
Laini Taylor
To marzenie wybiera marzyciela, a nie odwrotnie.
Lazlo Strange od zawsze marzył, aby poznać tajemnice zaginionego miasta Szloch. Jako sierota, a potem skromny bibliotekarz, nawet nie przypuszczał, że ma szansę na odbycie kosztownej wyprawy przez pustynię Elmuthaleth do miejsca, gdzie mieszkają mityczni wojownicy. Dopóki sami nie przekroczyli bramy Wielkiej Biblioteki i nie zaproponowali wyprawy… komuś innemu. Tu liczy się czas i każda podjęta decyzja. Przed Strange’em pojawią się wybory, których nie sposób dokonać, żal, którego nie da się wyleczyć, oraz magia tak prawdziwa, jakby istniała naprawdę.
Zanurz się w świecie pełnym skrywanych od wieków tajemnic, marzeń niebieskich jak opale, jak skrzydła ważki czy niebo, niezwykłych snów, które dyktują zmysły. Czytając Marzyciela, zapomnisz, co jest snem, a co jawą.
Muse of Nightmares (Strange the Dreamer, #2)
Laini Taylor
Sarai has lived and breathed nightmares since she was six years old.
She believed she knew every horror and was beyond surprise.
She was wrong.
In the wake of tragedy, neither Lazlo nor Sarai are who they were before. One a god, the other a ghost, they struggle to grasp the new boundaries of their selves as dark-minded Minya holds them hostage, intent on vengeance against Weep.
Lazlo faces an unthinkable choice—save the woman he loves, or everyone else?—while Sarai feels more helpless than ever. But is she? Sometimes, only the direst need can teach us our own depths, and Sarai, the Muse of Nightmares, has not yet discovered what she's capable of.
As humans and godspawn reel in the aftermath of the citadel's near fall, a new foe shatters their fragile hopes, and the mysteries of the Mesarthim are resurrected: Where did the gods come from, and why? What was done with thousands of children born in the citadel nursery? And most important of all, as forgotten doors are opened and new worlds revealed: Must heroes always slay monsters, or is it possible to save them instead?
Love and hate, revenge and redemption, destruction and salvation all clash in this astonishing and heart-stopping sequel to the New York Times bestseller, Strange the Dreamer.
Muza cosmarurilor (Strange the Dreamer, #2)
Laini Taylor
Al doilea volum al dulogiei "Visul isi alege visatorul"
IN ZORII TRAGEDIEI, NICI LAZLO, NICI SARAI NU MAI ERAU CEI DE DINAINTE.
Unul zeu, celalalt fantoma, amandoi lupta sa depaseasca hotarele din adancul sinelui lor, in timp ce macabra Minya ii tine ostatici, ca sa se razbune pe cetatea Plangerea.
Lazlo e pus sa aleaga intre ce nu se poate alege — sa o salveze pe femeia pe care o iubeste sau pe toti ceilalti? —, pe cand Sarai se simte mai neajutorata ca niciodata. Dar este ea? Uneori, numai cea mai disperata nevoie ne poate arata ce sunt propriile abisuri, iar Sarai, muza cosmarurilor, inca nu stie de ce este in stare. Oamenii si odraslele zeilor sunt nauciti din cauza caderii aproape iminente a cetatii, un dusman nou le distruge orice urma de speranta, iar misterele Mezartimilor trebuie din nou deslusite: de unde vin zeii, si cu ce scop? Ce s-a intamplat cu miile de copii nascuti in cresele din cetate? Si, lucrul cel mai important dintre toate, fiindca, odata ce portile uitate au fost deschise, s-au aratat lumi noi: e intotdeauna nevoie ca eroii sa masacreze monstri, ori, din contra, e cu putinta sa ii salveze?
Iubire si ura, razbunare si impacare, distrugere si salvare.
SARAI TRAIA SI RESPIRA COSMARURI DE CAND AVEA SASE ANI. CREDEA CA NICIO OROARE NU I-A RAMAS NECUNOSCUTA SI CA NIMIC NU O MAI PUTEA SURPRINDE. SE INSELA.
„O lume complexa si multistratificata, a zeilor inclestati in lupta cu oamenii... Superb scrisa intr-un limbaj simultan sumbru, luxuriant siincantator, cartea aceasta ii va lasa pe cititori nerabdatori sa-i citeasca urmarea.” - Publishers Weekly

Múza nočních můr (Snílek Neznámý, #2)
Laini Taylor
Sarai od svých šesti let vysílala každou noc své můry a myslela si, že už zná všechny hrůzy světa. Mýlila se.
Po tragédii ani Lazlo, ani Sarai nejsou tím, čím byli dříve. Jeden bůh, druhý duch. Lazlo čelí nemyslitelné volbě – zachránit dívku, kterou miluje, nebo zachránit všechny ostatní a ji ztratit? A Sarai se cítí bezmocnější než kdy předtím. Ale kdo je vlastně ona sama?
Na obzoru se objevují noví nepřátelé, ti staří znovu získávají sílu… Ale nejdůležitější ze všeho je otázka: Musí hrdinové vždy zabíjet nestvůry, nebo je místo toho mohou chránit?

Snílek Neznámý (Snílek Neznámý, #1)
Laini Taylor
SNY JSOU JAKO PŘÍBĚHY - DIVOKÉ A NEPRAVDĚPODOBNÉ
Sen si vybírá snílka, nikdy ne obráceně. Lazlo Neznámý, sirotek a knihovník, se vždy obával, že jeho si vybere nějaký obyčejný sen. Ale i přesto byl již od svých pěti let posedlý mytickým ztraceným městem Pláč. Avšak na to, aby se ho vydal hledat přes půlku světa, by musel být mnohem odvážnější. A tak ho hledá v knihách. Každou zmínku o městě, které záhadně a nenávratně zmizelo. Až do chvíle, než se mu jako zázrakem naskytne příležitost, aby vyrazil se skupinou legendárních válečníků a splnil si svůj sen... nebo ho ztratil navždy.
Co se stalo v Pláči před dvěma sty lety? Proč byl najednou odtržen od zbytku světa? Kdo je velitel známých válečníků a jakou tajemnou záhadu se snaží vyřešit? A proč mu může pomoci zrovna Lazlo?
Odpovědi čekají ve městě Pláč, stejně jako bohyně s modrou kůží, která navštěvuje Lazla ve snech. Jak o ní může snít ještě předtím, než ji potkal? A jestliže jsou všichni bohové mrtví, proč se ona zdá tak skutečná?

In questo terzo e conclusivo capitolo della saga entriamo subito nel vivo dell’azione: l’esercito degli angeli discende sulla Terra, in pieno giorno, in una Roma sfolgorante di sole, con uno stuolo di telecamere intente a riprendere e un pubblico sbalordito a osservare la scena. Nel frattempo, dopo il tradimento che ha portato la sua specie allo stremo, Karou sta ricostruendo l’esercito delle chimere e, grazie a un inganno ingegnoso, è ora alla guida della ribellione contro gli angeli. Il futuro della sua specie dipende da lei, ed è giunto il momento dello scontro finale. Riusciranno Karou e Akiva a realizzare il sogno di una realtà in cui i loro popoli smettano di distruggersi e in cui, forse, potrebbe esserci spazio per il loro amore?

Strange the Dreamer - Strange Si Pemimpi (Strange the Dreamer, #1)
Laini Taylor
Mimpi memilih sang pemimpi, bukan sebaliknya.
Sejak usianya lima tahun Lazlo Strange terobsesi dengan kisah Weep, kota yang hilang. Ketika kesempatan untuk mencari kota itu muncul di hadapannya, Lazlo memutuskan langsung menyambarnya sebelum dia kehilangan mimpi itu selamanya.
Apa sebenarnya yang menimpa kota Weep dua ratus tahun lalu hingga memutus kota tersebut dari dunia luar?
Jawabannya ada di Weep, beserta banyak misteri lain––termasuk sosok dewi berkulit biru yang muncul dalam mimpi Lazlo. Bagaimana bisa Lazlo memimpikan wanita itu sebelum dia tahu wanita itu ada? Jika semua dewa sudah mati, kenapa wanita itu tampak sangat nyata?
Selamat datang di Weep!
Strange the Dreamer (Strange the Dreamer, #1)
Laini Taylor
The dream chooses the dreamer, not the other way around—and Lazlo Strange, war orphan and junior librarian, has always feared that his dream chose poorly. Since he was five years old he’s been obsessed with the mythic lost city of Weep, but it would take someone bolder than he to cross half the world in search of it. Then a stunning opportunity presents itself, in the person of a hero called the Godslayer and a band of legendary warriors, and he has to seize his chance or lose his dream forever.
What happened in Weep two hundred years ago to cut it off from the rest of the world? What exactly did the Godslayer slay that went by the name of god? And what is the mysterious problem he now seeks help in solving?
The answers await in Weep, but so do more mysteries—including the blue-skinned goddess who appears in Lazlo’s dreams. How did he dream her before he knew she existed? And if all the gods are dead, why does she seem so real?
Welcome to Weep.
Sueños de dioses y monstruos (Hija de humo y hueso, #3)
Laini Taylor
Un enemigo común.
Una causa común
Karou y Akiva ya saben que están vivos. pero Karou aún no está preparada para perdonar.
Y ahora, mediante un terrible engaño, Karou ha tomado el control sobre la rebelión quimérica y el futuro de su raza depende de ella, si es que aún queda futuro para las quimeras en Eretz, una tierra devastada por la guerra.
Cuando el brutal ejército de serafines de Jael penetra en el mundo humano, lo impensable se convierte en esencial: Karou y Akiva tendrán que unir sus ejércitos para luchar contra un enemigo común.
Esta unión de ambos ejércitos es una versión alterada de su antiguo sueño, donde ángeles y quimeras conviven juntos, en paz. Donde hay esperanza para su imperdonable amor entre ángel y demonio.
Pero sobre Eretz se ciernen mayores amenazas que Jael. Una cruel reina va a la caza de Akiva y en los cielos está ocurriendo algo. Gigantescas manchas se extienden como moratones de un lado a otro del horizonte. Los cazadores alados de tormentas se congregan como si hubiesen sido convocados, volando en círculos sin cesar, y un profundo sentido de injusticia impregna el mundo. ¿Qué clase de poder puede herir el cielo?
Desde las calles de Roma hasta las cuevas de los Kirins, humanos, quimeras y serafines lucharán, amarán y morirán en un teatro épico que trascenderá el bien y el mal, la amistad y el odio.
Y, más allá de las fronteras del espacio y el tiempo, ¿qué sueñan dioses y monstruos? ¿Y acaso alguna otra cosa importa?

Um Estranho Sonhador (Um Estranho Sonhador, #1)
Laini Taylor
O sonho escolhe o sonhador, e não o contrário – e Lazlo Estranho, órfão de guerra e bibliotecário júnior, sempre temeu que seu sonho tivesse escolhido mal. Desde os cinco anos, ele era obcecado pelos mistérios de Lamento, uma cidade mítica perdida. O que aconteceu lá duzentos anos atrás que a separou do restante do mundo? Que tipo de deuses existiam lá e foram mortos pelo Matador de Deuses? Essas respostas o aguardam em Lamento, mas também mais mistérios – incluindo a deusa de pele azul que aparece nos sonhos de Lazlo.
Neste romance de tirar o fôlego – indicado para sonhadores dispostos a se aventurar em mundos mágicos, repletos de personagens marcantes e seus conflitos emocionais –, a sombra do passado é tão real quanto os fantasmas que assombram a cidadela de divindades assassinadas.
Aventure-se em um mundo mítico de horror e maravilha, mariposas e pesadelos, amor e massacre.
Visul își alege visătorul (Strange the Dreamer, #1)
Laini Taylor
Încă de la cinci ani, Lazlo a fost fascinat de miticul oraș pierdut, Plângerea, dar ar fi fost nevoie de cineva cu mai multă cutezanță decât el ca să plece în căutarea acestuia. Asta până când o uluitoare ocazie se prezintă singură — în persoana unui erou numit Ucigașul de Zei și o legiune de războinici legendari – iar el trebuie să se folosească de șansa ivită sau să-și piardă visul pentru totdeauna.
Ce s-a întâmplat în Orașul Nevăzut de i s-au tăiat toate legăturile cu lumea? De ce Eril-Fane, supranumit și Ucigașul de Zei, caută să șteargă orice urmă a zeilor?
Răspunsurile așteaptă să fie descoperite laolaltă cu alte mistere — inclusiv zeița cu piele albastră care îi bântuie visele lui Lazlo...
Umbra trecutului este la fel de reală ca fantomele care bântuie citadela zeilor uciși. Lăsați-vă absorbiți în lumea mitică, în care groaza se împletește cu miraculosul, frumusețea delicată cu oribilele coșmaruri, iubirea cu măcelul.
Мрійник Стрендж (Strange the Dreamer, #1)
Laini Taylor
Лазло Стрендж не знає ні свого справжнього імені, ані походження. Він виріс у сиротинці абатства і, скільки пам’ятав себе, мріяв про дивовижне, загублене в пустелях місто з дивними звірами й хоробрим воїнством. Щось сталося в тому місті дві сотні років тому, і воно наче зникло з лиця землі, утратило своє справжнє ім’я — нині його називають Плач. Згодом молодшому бібліотекареві Стренджу випадає щаслива нагода долучитися до почту Еріл-Фейна на прізвисько Боговбивця — очільника загадкового міста — у товаристві видатних науковців з різних країн. Їхньою метою є розв’язати проблему Плачу, яку Еріл-Фейн тримає в таємниці від решти гурту. На Лазло в місті чекатимуть відповіді на його запитання, але ще більше загадок. Чи зможе хлопець зрештою врятувати місто від лиха, яке його спіткало? Хто та блакитношкіра дівчина, що явилася йому вві сні? І нарешті, хто ж Лазло сам?
החולם (החולם #1)
Laini Taylor
החלום בוחר את החולם, ולא להפך - ולאזלו סטריינג', יתום מלחמה וספרן זוטר, תמיד חשש שחלומו שגה בבחירתו. מאז היה בן חמש הוא פיתח עניין כפייתי בעיר המיתית האבודה בֶּכי, אבל נדרש מישהו נועז ממנו כדי לחצות חצי עולם בחיפושים אחריה. אבל אז מוצגת בפניו הזדמנות מדהימה, בדמות גיבור המכונה קוטל האלים וחבורה של לוחמים אגדיים, ולאזלו מוכרח לנצל את ההזדמנות או לאבד את חלומו לנצח. מה קרה לבכי לפני מאתיים שנה שבודד אותה משאר העולם? מה בדיוק קטל קוטל האלים שזיכה אותו בכינויו זה? ומהי הבעיה המסתורית שהוא מחפש כעת סיוע בפתרונה? התשובות לשאלות ממתינות בבכי, אך כך גם תעלומות נוספות - כולל האלה תכולת העור המופיעה בחלומותיו של לאזלו. כיצד חלם עליה לפני שידע על קיומה? ואם האלים מתים, מדוע היא נראית כה אמיתית? .
