It's been eighteen months since the Raxter School for Girls was put under quarantine. Since the Tox hit and pulled Hetty's life out from under her. It started slow. First the teachers died one by one. Then it began to infect the students, turning their bodies strange and foreign. Now, cut off from the rest of the world and left to fend for themselves on their island home, the girls don't dare wander outside the school's fence, where the Tox has made the woods wild and dangerous. They wait for the cure they were promised as the Tox seeps into everything. But when Byatt goes missing, Hetty will do anything to find her, even if it means breaking quarantine and braving the horrors that lie beyond the fence. And when she does, Hetty learns that there's more to their story, to their life at Raxter, than she could have ever thought true.

Powieść, niepodobna do niczego, co już znasz. Minęło osiemnaście miesięcy, odkąd na szkołę dla dziewcząt Raxter nałożono kwarantannę, od kiedy Tox pogrążył wyspę i wywrócił życie Hetty do góry nogami. Zaczęło się powoli. Z początku zaczęli umierać nauczyciele. Potem Tox przeniósł się na uczennice, wykręcając i zmieniając ich ciała. Teraz, odcięte od reszty świata i pozostawione same sobie na wyspie, dziewczyny nie wychodzą poza ogrodzenie szkoły. Tox zmienił lasy w dzikie i niebezpieczne, a dziewczyny czekają na lekarstwo, które obiecano im dostarczyć. Tox przenika do wszystkiego. Kiedy Byatt znika, Hetty robi wszystko, by ją odnaleźć, nawet jeśli oznacza to złamanie kwarantanny i walkę z potwornościami czającymi się za ogrodzeniem. Gdy się tego podejmuje, odkrywa, że w historii Raxter kryje się znacznie więcej, niż mogłaby kiedykolwiek przypuszczać.

Rhea and Lexos were born into a family unlike any other. Together with their siblings, they control the seasons, the tides, and the stars, and help their father rule their kingdom. Thanks to their magic, the family has ruled for an eternity, and plan to rule for an eternity more. But Rhea and Lexos are special: They are twins, bonded down to the bone, and for the past hundred years, that bond has protected them as their father becomes an unpredictable tyrant--and his worsening temper threatens the family's grip on power. Now, with rival nations ready to attack, and a rebel movement within their own borders, Rhea and Lexos must fight to keep the kingdom--and the family--together, even as treachery, deceit, and drama threaten to strand the twins on opposite sides of the battlefield. In a Garden Burning Gold is a vividly written, atmospheric saga that explores the limits of power and the bonds of family--and how far both can be bent before they break.

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Wilder Girls comes a new twisty thriller about a girl whose past has always been a mystery—until she decides to return to her mother’s hometown . . . where history has a tendency to repeat itself. Ever since Margot was born, it’s been just her and her mother. No answers to Margot’s questions about what came before. No history to hold on to. No relative to speak of. Just the two of them, stuck in their run-down apartment, struggling to get along. But that’s not enough for Margot. She wants family. She wants a past. And she just found the key she needs to get it: A photograph, pointing her to a town called Phalene. Pointing her home. Only, when Margot gets there, it’s not what she bargained for. Margot’s mother left for a reason. But was it to hide her past? Or was it to protect Margot from what’s still there? The only thing Margot knows for sure is there’s poison in their family tree, and their roots are dug so deeply into Phalene that now that she’s there, she might never escape.

Best-seller do New York Times, Meninas selvagens é a emocionante história de terror feminista sobre três melhores amigas que estão em quarentena em um colégio interno e o que acontece quando uma delas desaparece. Há dezoito meses, a Escola Raxter para Meninas entrou em quarentena. Há dezoito meses, uma misteriosa doença virou a vida de Hetty do avesso. Começou devagar. Primeiro, as professoras foram morrendo, uma a uma. Então, começou a infectar as alunas, transformando o corpo delas em algo cada vez mais estranho. Isoladas do resto do mundo e deixadas à própria sorte, as meninas não se atrevem a ultrapassar o limite da escola. Hetty, Byatt e Reese esperam a cura prometida enquanto a doença se alastra. Mas tudo muda quando Byatt desaparece. Hetty não medirá esforços para encontrá-la, mesmo que isso signifique quebrar a quarentena e desbravar os horrores que as esperam além da cerca que separa a escola da floresta. E quando Hetty se lança rumo ao desconhecido, descobre que há muito mais mistérios por trás dessa história que ela jamais poderia imaginar. Meninas selvagens combina um cenário de terror com a angústia e a ternura da adolescência para explorar até onde um grupo de meninas é capaz de ir para sobreviver e se manter unido. Rory Power constrói uma narrativa que, por vezes irregular e flutuante, demonstra a originalidade e potência de sua escrita, tornando-se uma das novas apostas do gênero. Com Meninas selvagens, estreia - brilhantemente - no universo da ficção juvenil.

Twisted political games and heart-rending relationship drama abound in this stunning conclusion of a mythic epic fantasy duology. The Argyros family is torn asunder, their nation betrayed and taken over by former allies, and twins Rhea and Lexos are left standing on opposite sides of the now full-blown rebellion. Will they be able to reconcile--or will there only be a reckoning?

«Tudo o que há aqui quase me destrói: o vazio do horizonte, a fome no meu corpo e perceber como conseguiremos sobreviver àquilo se não conseguimos sobreviver umas às outras.» Há dezoito meses, a escola feminina da ilha de Raxter foi posta em quarentena. Dezoito meses em que Hetty e as suas colegas sobrevivem a algo tão desconhecido quanto sangrento. Começou devagar e sem aviso. Primeiro, morreram as professoras, uma por uma. Depois, as alunas foram infetadas e os seus corpos mutilados pela doença. Disseram-lhes unicamente para aguardarem, em isolamento e à mercê da epidemia, até que uma cura fosse encontrada. É assim que, desde então, três amigas, Hetty, Byatt e Reese, sobrevivem. Mas um dia, Byatt desaparece sem rasto e Hetty, desesperada, faz tudo para encontrá-la, inclusive quebrar a quarentena. Contudo, há uma outra razão para as saídas da escola terem sido proibidas. Lá fora, na escuridão da floresta, a epidemia tornou a ilha selvagem, escondendo horrores inimagináveis... ... e monstros desejosos por sangue fresco. «O burburinho em torno deste Senhor das Moscas é ensurdecedor, mas nós juntamo-nos ao coro: esta saga incrível… será, sem dúvida, uma das obras mais comentadas dos últimos tempos.» - Entertainment Weekly
