Jay Kristoff
Mia Corvere has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church hierarchy think she's far from earned it. Plying her bloody trade in a backwater of the Republic, she's no closer to ending the men who destroyed her familia; in fact, she's told directly that Consul Scaeva is off limits.

But her gift for speaking with the shadows leads her to the door of a retired killer, and a future she never imagined.
Now, Mia is apprenticed to the deadliest flock of assassins in the entire Republic—the Red Church. If she bests her fellow students in contests of steel, poison and the subtle arts, she’ll be inducted among the Blades of the Lady of Blessed Murder, and one step closer to the vengeance she desires. But a killer is loose within the Church’s halls, the bloody secrets of Mia’s past return to haunt her, and a plot to bring down the entire congregation is unfolding in the shadows she so loves.

Stormdancer (The Lotus Wars, #1)
Jay Kristoff
Arashitoras are supposed to be extinct. So when Yukiko and her warrior father Masaru are sent to capture one for the Shõgun, they fear that their lives are over – everyone knows what happens to those who fail the Lord of the Shima Isles. But the mission proves less impossible and more deadly than anyone expects. Soon Yukiko finds herself stranded: a young woman alone in her country's last wilderness, with only a furious, crippled arashitora for company. Although she can hear his thoughts, and saved his life, all she knows for certain is he'd rather see her dead than help her. Yet trapped together in the forest, Yukiko and the beast soon discover a bond that neither of them expected.
Meanwhile, the country around them verges on collapse. A toxic fuel is choking the land, the machine-powered Lotus Guild is publicly burning those they deem Impure, and the Shõgun cares for nothing but his own dominion. Authority has always made Yukiko, but her world changes when she meets Kin, a young man with secrets, and the rebel Kagé cabal. She learns the horrifying extent of the Shõgun's crimes, both against her country and her family.
Returning to the city, Yukiko is determined to make the Shõgun pay – but what can one girl and a flightless arashitora do against the might of an empire?
Endsinger (The Lotus Wars, #3)
Jay Kristoff
A TREMBLING EARTH
The flames of civil war sweep across the Shima Imperium. With their plans to renew the Kazumitsu dynasty foiled, the Lotus Guild unleash their deadliest creation—a mechanical goliath known as the Earthcrusher, intended to unite the shattered Empire under a yoke of fear. With the Tiger Clan and their puppet Daimyo Hiro in tow, the Guild marches toward a battle for absolute dominion over the Isles.
A BROKEN REBELLION
Yukiko and Buruu are forced to take leadership of the Kagé rebellion, gathering new allies and old friends in an effort to unite the country against the chi-mongers. But the ghosts of Buruu’s past stand between them and the army they need, and Kin’s betrayal has destroyed all trust among their allies. When a new foe joins the war tearing the Imperium apart, it will be all the pair can do to muster the strength to fight, let alone win.
A FINAL BATTLE
The traitor Kin walks the halls of Guild power, his destiny only a bloody knife-stroke away. Hana and Yoshi struggle to find their place in a world now looking to them as heroes. Secret cabals within the Lotus Guild claw and struggle; one toward darkness, the other toward light. And as the earth splits asunder, as armies destroy each other for rule over an empire of lifeless ash and the final secret about blood lotus is revealed, the people of Shima will learn one last, horrifying truth.
There is nothing a mother won't do to keep her children by her side.
Nothing.
Kinslayer (The Lotus Wars, #2)
Jay Kristoff
Kinslayer is Book Two in Jay Kristoff's critically acclaimed Lotus War series that began with Stormdancer, featuring an unforgettable heroine and a stunningly original Japanese dystopian steampunk world.
A SHATTERED EMPIRE
The mad Shogun Yoritomo has been assassinated by the Stormdancer Yukiko, and the threat of civil war looms over the Shima Imperium. The toxic blood lotus flower continues to ravage the land, the deadlands splitting wider by the day. The machine-worshippers of the Lotus Guild conspire to renew the nation's broken dynasty and crush the growing rebellion simultaneously - by endorsing a new Shogun who desires nothing more than to see Yukiko dead.
A DARK LEGACY
Yukiko and the mighty thunder tiger Buruu have been cast in the role of heroes by the Kagé rebellion. But Yukiko herself is blinded by rage over her father's death, and her ability to hear the thoughts of beasts is swelling beyond her power to control. Along with Buruu, Yukiko's anchor is Kin, the rebel Guildsman who helped her escape from Yoritomo's clutches. But Kin has his own secrets, and is haunted by visions of a future he'd rather die than see realized.
A GATHERING STORM
Kagé assassins lurk within the Shogun's palace, plotting to end the new dynasty before it begins. A waif from Kigen's gutters begins a friendship that could undo the entire empire. A new enemy gathers its strength, readying to push the fracturing Shima imperium into a war it cannot hope to survive. And across raging oceans, amongst islands of black glass, Yukiko and Buruu will face foes no katana or talon can defeat.
The ghosts of a blood-stained past.
The Last Stormdancer (The Lotus Wars, #0.6)
Jay Kristoff
Your blood-red skies are filled with smoke. Your bleach-white histories with lies. You walk sleeping. Wake senseless. Breathing deep of toxic blooms and forgetting all that has gone before.
But I remember.
I remember when two brothers waged bloody war over the right to sit in their father’s empty chair. I remember when orphaned twins faced each other across a field of crimson and steel, the fate of the Shima Shōgunate hanging in the poisoned sky between them.
I remember when a blind boy stood before a court of storms and talons, armed only with a thin sword and a muttered prophecy and a desperate dream of saving the world.
I remember when the skies above Shima were not red, but blue. Filled with thunder tigers.
I remember when they left you.
And I remember why.
Let me tell you, monkey-child.

Lemon Fresh has seen better days.
After the climactic battle in Babel, she finds herself separated from Ezekiel and Cricket in the wastelands. Lemon’s abilities to manipulate electricity mark her as a deviate, and deadly corporate operatives are hunting her to use as a weapon in the war between BioMaas Incorporated and Daedelus Technologies. Instead, Lemon finds herself falling in with a group of fellow deviates—a band of teenagers with astonishing abilities, led by an enigmatic figure known as the Major, who may hold the secrets to Lemon’s past.
Meanwhile, Cricket finds himself in possession of the puritanical Brotherhood, a religious cult set for a head-on collision with the Major and his band. Searching for Lemon, Ezekiel finds a strange ally in an old enemy, and uncovers a plot that may see him reunited with his beloved Ana.
And inside Babel, a remade Eve hatches a plan to bring an end to the world.
TRUEL1F3 (Lifelike, #3)
Jay Kristoff
From the bestselling co-author of the Illuminae Files comes the thrilling finale in the LIFEL1K3 trilogy--hailed by Marie Lu as "a breathless, action-packed exploration of what humanity really means."
Best friends have become enemies. Lovers have become strangers. And deciding whose side you're on could be the difference between life and death. For Eve and Lemon, discovering the truth about themselves--and each other--was too much for their friendship to take. But with the country on the brink of a new world war--this time between the BioMaas swarm at CityHive and Daedalus's army at Megopolis, loyalties will be pushed to the brink, unlikely alliances will form and with them, betrayals. But the threat doesn't stop there, because the lifelikes are determined to access the program that will set every robot free, a task requiring both Eve and Ana, the girl she was created to replace. In the end, violent clashes and heartbreaking choices reveal the true heroes . . . and they may not be who you think they are.

TVOJE TIJELO NE PRIPADA TEBI.
TVOJ UM NE PRIPADA TEBI.
TVOJ ŽIVOT NE PRIPADA TEBI.
Iscrpio ju je taj poludjeli svijet. Željela je uhvatiti planet za vrat, opaliti mu šamar i vrisnuti mu da se već jednom smiri. Jer baš je toga dana u Ratnoj areni Eva ostala bez zadnje love i otkrila da svojim umom može uništiti ubojite strojeve. Zamjerila se svima, i bandama i religijskim fanaticima.
I tada na rubu Krša, koji naziva svojim domom, pronađe najsavršenijeg robota na svijetu, živolikog očiju plavih poput neba kakvo je nekoć bilo. Ni slutila nije da će joj taj susret urušiti cijeli njezin svijet…
Snalažljiva cura otkriva opasne tajne u postapokaliptičnome paklu punom umjetne inteligencije.
Sjeverna je Amerika uništena nuklearnim ratom, a onime što je ostalo od nje upravljaju korporacije. Od Kalifornije je ostao samo otok pod nazivom Otpadci, gdje se tinejdžerica Eva uz pomoć svojega stroja bori protiv botova koji su prekršili Prvi zakon robotike (ozlijedili su ljudsko biće). Te borbe u Ratnoj areni jedini su način da Eva zaradi novac za lijekove koji održavaju na životu njezina djeda. Tijekom jedne borbe Eva se nađe u smrtnoj opasnosti te se činilo da će poginuti. No onda je podignula ruku i vrisnula na podivljalog robota, a on se srušio – na iznenađenje publike. Na nesreću, fanatični članovi udruženja Braća ubijaju »abnormalce« i »devijante« te Eva mora pobjeći.
Eva i njezina najbolja prijateljica Lila putem pronađu Ezekiela, prelijepog »živolikog«. Živoliki su najnapredniji androidi koji su ikada stvoreni, no prekršili su zakone robotike i pobili svoje stvoritelje. Eva, Lila i Ezekiel bježe od bandi koje je progone nakon incidenta u Ratnoj areni i putem razotkrivaju tajne o Evinoj prošlosti.

Gabriel de León est un saint d'argent : un membre d'une confrérie œuvrant à la défense du royaume et de l'Église contre les créatures de la nuit. Mais même l'Ordre d'Argent n'a pas pu endiguer la marée une fois que la lumière du jour a manqué, et Gabriel est seul maintenant.
Emprisonné par les monstres qu'il a juré de détruire, le dernier saint d'argent est obligé de raconter son histoire. Un récit de batailles légendaires et d'amours interdits, de foi perdue et d'amitiés gagnées, du roi éternel et de la quête du dernier espoir de l'humanité : Le Saint-Graal.

Nevernight. I grandi giochi (Libro secondo degli accadimenti di Illuminotte)
Jay Kristoff
Mia Corvere, distruttrice di imperi, ha trovato il suo posto tra le Lame di Nostra Signora del benedetto omicidio, ma sono in tanti all'interno della Chiesa Rossa a pensare che non se lo meriti. La sua posizione è fragile, e non si sta affatto avvicinando alla vendetta cui agogna. Ma dopo uno scontro letale con un vecchio nemico, Mia inizia a sospettare quali siano i veri moventi della Chiesa Rossa. Al termine dei grandi giochi di Godsgrave, Mia tradisce la Chiesa e si vende come schiava per avere la possibilità di mantenere la promessa che ha fatto il giorno in cui ha perso tutto. Sulle sabbie dell'arena, Mia trova nuovi alleati, feroci rivali e domande ancora più incalzanti sulla sua affinità con le ombre.

Jay Kristoff
EN UNA ISLA VERTEDERO, BAJO UN CIELO ILUMINADO POR LA RADIACIÓN, UN SECRETO LETAL YACE OCULTO ENTRE LOS ESCOMBROS. Eve no está buscando problemas; está demasiado ocupada vigilando sus espaldas. El robot gladiador que lleva meses construyendo se ha visto reducido a un despojo humeante, su nombre aparece en la lista de los más buscados por las bandas criminales y lo único que mantiene con vida a su abuelo es el dinero que acaba de perder en las apuestas. Y lo peor de acaba de descubrir que es capaz de destruir máquinas con el poder de su mente, por lo que un grupo de fanáticos quiere acabar con ella. Si ha tenido días peores, no los recuerda. El problema es que Eve sí tuvo un día uno que sigue presente en sus pesadillas y en el implante cibernético que lleva en el lugar donde solían estar sus recuerdos. Cuando Eve conoce a un atractivo androide llamado Ezekiel (considerado un «realista» por su parecido con los seres humanos), su mundo se viene abajo y empieza a cuestionarse si su vida entera ha sido una mentira. En compañía de su mejor amiga, Lemon Fresh, y de su compañero robótico Cricket, Eve atravesará desiertos de cristal, luchará contra robots indestructibles y se infiltrará en enormes ciudades para salvar a sus seres queridos. Y también descubrirá la verdad sobre los sangrientos secretos de su pasado. «El intenso mundo de arena, metal y tecnología de Kristoff es un placer para los sentidos y parece evocar cada emoción de su protagonista. Esta novela es una emocionante exploración llena de acción sobre el verdadero significado de la humanidad». -MARIE LU, autora best seller de Skyhunter
