At the elite Catenan Academy, a young fugitive uncovers layered mysteries and world-changing secrets in this new fantasy series by internationally bestselling author of The Licanius Trilogy, James Islington. AUDI. VIDE. TACE. The Catenan Republic – the Hierarchy – may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilised society in allowing my strength, my drive and my focus – what they call Will – to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do. I tell them that I belong, and they believe me. But the truth is that I have been sent to the Academy to find answers. To solve a murder. To search for an ancient weapon. To uncover secrets that may tear the Republic apart. And that I will never, ever cede my Will to the empire that executed my family. To survive, though, I will still have to rise through the Academy’s ranks. I will have to smile, and make friends, and pretend to be one of them and win. Because if I cannot, then those who want to control me, who know my real name, will no longer have any use for me. And if the Hierarchy finds out who I truly am, they will kill me.

Augustus Everett è un autore amato dalla più intransigente critica letteraria. January Andrews invece scrive deliziose commedie romantiche che scalano regolarmente le classifiche. Lui è uno scrittore serio, ma non riesce a parlare di sentimenti. Lei è una sostenitrice dell’amore per sempre e del lieto fine. Non hanno niente in comune. A parte che per i prossimi tre mesi saranno vicini di casa. January ha infatti deciso di rifugiarsi nel cottage del padre sul lago Michigan e pensa di trascorrere l’estate raccogliendo le idee e scrivendo un romanzo pieno della felicità che non sa più immaginare: ha da poco scoperto un segreto sui suoi genitori e non crede più nell’amore. Nella veranda accanto alla sua c’è però un vicino di casa inaspettato: Augustus Everett, suo ex compagno di college e soprattutto autore di fama. Anche lui colpito da un paralizzante blocco dello scrittore. Da sempre i due non si sopportano, ma decidono di lanciarsi una sfida per cercare di darsi una mano, o più probabilmente di punzecchiarsi. Si scambieranno il romanzo. E così Augustus dovrà dimostrare di saper scrivere anche un lieto fine e January di sapersi cimentare nella scrittura del Grande Romanzo Americano. E questa scommessa cambierà inevitabilmente tutti i finali…

This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is “an uproarious historical fantasy that’s not to be missed” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history—because sometimes history needs a little help. At sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne. But those trifling problems aren’t for Jane to worry about. Jane gets to be Queen of England. Like that could go wrong.

Infused with magic and romance, this sweeping fantasy adventure inspired by the legend of Mulan follows a young woman determined to choose her own destiny—even if that means going against everyone she loves. The Three Kingdoms are at war, but Meilin’s father refuses to answer the imperial draft. Trapped by his opium addiction, he plans to sell Meilin for her dowry. But when Meilin discovers her husband-to-be is another violent, ill-tempered man, she realizes that nothing will change for her unless she takes matters into her own hands. The very next day, she disguises herself as a boy and enlists in her father’s place. In the army, Meilin's relentless hard work brings her recognition, friendship—and a growing closeness with Sky, a prince turned training partner. But has she simply exchanged one prison for another? As her kingdom barrels toward destruction, Meilin begins to have visions of a sea dragon spirit that offers her true power and freedom, but with a deadly price. With the future of the Three Kingdoms hanging in the balance, Meilin will need to decide whom to trust—Sky, who inspires her loyalty and love; the sea dragon spirit, who has his own murky agenda; or an infuriating enemy prince who makes her question everything she once knew—about her kingdom and about her own heart.
