Indira staat al haar hele leven in de kantlijn, wachtend op een kans om als personage te schitteren. Dus wanneer ze hoort dat ze is uitgekozen om naar Fabel af te reizen en aan de beroemde Hogeschool voor Helden te studeren, een school die bekend staat om het afleveren van de allerbeste helden, kan ze haar oren niet geloven. Maar Indira's droom om een held te worden valt in het water. Haar auditie loopt in de soep en bezorgt haar een plek in het bijfigurenprogramma, en pogingen om haar mentoren - bekende hoofdpersonages als Alice uit Wonderland en Romeo Montague - hun ongelijk te bewijzen worden continu gedwarsboomd. Indira krijgt al snel het gevoel dat een slechterik de boosdoener is. Het wordt op school steeds gevaarlijker en Indira ontdekt dat heel Fabel wordt aangevallen. Met haar vrienden Maxi en Phoenix aan haar zijde zoekt ze naar aanwijzingen om degene die hen met duistere magie bedreigt, te ontmaskeren. Maar hoe meer Indira ontdekt, hoe meer ze gaat twijfelen aan haar plaats in deze verhalenwereld. Kan een bijfiguur écht de held van het verhaal worden?

De held van Fabel

“Nail-biting action scenes, relatable characters, and a fantastic new take on dragons…a thrilling ride!” —A.F. Steadman, New York Times bestselling author of the Skandar series A boy living on Mars unexpectedly becomes a dragon rider in this “rip-roaring” (Publishers Weekly, starred review) first book in the sci-fi and fantasy mash-up The Dragonships series, sure to delight fans of Skandar and Eragon. Keep your eyes down and your feet moving, or this planet will rust you. That’s what Lunar Jones tells the other kids at the relocation clinic. All of them were born on Mars, a planet that never wanted people in the first place. With resources scarce and hope even scarcer, it’s easy to get distracted looking up. After all, their ancestors descended from the stars. Martian history always starts with Earth. The first astronauts discovered that space was already occupied. Not by little green men or flying saucers. It was full of dragons. One for every moon, every planet, every star. When humanity discovered that Earth’s dragon had sacrificed herself to make their home planet habitable, they set their sights on Mars. If one dead dragon could breathe life into a world, why not create another one? Mankind won the war that followed, but with one catch. As the dragon died, he whispered a curse over Mars. The first settlers found their crops wouldn’t grow. Animals hunted them. Storms raged endlessly. It took three generations to figure out the truth: Mars was doomed. Lunar knows all the old stories about dragons and space, but no one up there’s planning to help him or his crew. Instead, he focuses on scrapping valuable gear that the storms uncover in the war zone. Until one day, a salvaging run goes wrong. Desperate to find shelter, Lunar goes underground in a restricted zone. What he finds there, buried in the Martian dust, might just be the only hope left for a dying planet.

In this sequel to the New York Times bestselling, “pulse-pounding” (Publishers Weekly) A Door in the Dark, Ren’s intellect and cunning are stretched to the limit in her quest to take down the system that stole her father’s life. Ren Monroe is one step closer to avenging her father's death. Bonding with Theo Brood has allowed her to infiltrate one of the oldest houses in Kathor. But Theo’s father is playing his own game. He exiles Theo, isolating Ren in an attempt to break the unwelcome grasp she has on his son. Ren might possess more resources than she ever imagined growing up, but her plans of revenge will vanish without allies. Enter House Tin Vori. Years ago, the Broods led an unprecedented raid to destroy one of the other ancient houses. Their only mistake was not finishing the job. A few of the Tin Vori siblings survived, and they haven’t forgotten the crimes committed against their family that fateful night. Quietly, they’ve plotted their own revenge, waiting for just the right moment to strike. And Ren Monroe might be their best chance. Like fire, the Tin’Vori siblings are as dangerous as they are useful, both gifted in rare magics. Ren must decide how to unleash them against House Brood without hurting Theo in the process. Her feelings for Theo are growing past the boundaries of their bond, and Ren finds herself balanced on a knife’s edge, a breath away from immense power or utter ruin.

A Door in the Dark

Ren’s quest to dismantle Kathor’s corrupt system comes to a head as political machinations and a mysterious disease take hold of the city in this edge-of-your-seat conclusion to the “pulse-pounding” (Publishers Weekly, on A Door in the Dark) New York Times bestselling Waxways series. After taking control of House Brood, Ren and Theo dreamed of using their newfound influence to change the rest of Kathor, but now they find their efforts being countered by the other great houses, who have no interest in a world where they enjoy less power. No one understands that better than the Tin’Vori siblings. The return of their ancestral home was a decade in the making, but they’re eager to keep rising from the ashes. Nevelyn begins researching House Brood—and ends up face-to-face with an enemy that’s already slouching toward the gates of the city. The one enemy no one can avoid: a plague. The victims experience strange bruising, an unquenchable thirst, and a temporary disruption in magic. When doctors trace the illness to its source, they find another mystery: corpses placed in strategic locations around the city. As Ren leads the hunt for the culprits, she’ll find herself two steps behind a devious enemy whose sights are set on an unexpected prize: the city’s magic. Survival will require every ounce of their skill, every bond old and new, or else the future Ren and Theo have worked to build will burn down with the rest of the world.

A Burning in the Bones

Emmett Atwater pensó que participar en el juego de Babel sería algo fácil: conseguir los puntos, ganar la recompensa y regresar a casa. Pero no tardó mucho en descubrir que el concurso organizado por BaBel estaba lleno de promesas rotas, y cada una de ellas más oscura y maligna que la anterior. Ahora Emmett y el resto de los supervivientes de las naves espaciales Génesis deben reorganizarse y forjar su propio camino en un mundo nuevo. Su misión es simple: extraer Nyxia, el material más valioso del universo, y aprender a convivir con la población nativa. Pero Emmett y sus compañeros se dan cuenta enseguida de que están atrapados entre dos fuerzas poderosas en conflicto, Babel y los adamitas. ¿Podrá el equipo de Génesis salir de edén con vida antes de que sea demasiado tarde?

La recompensa es una cifra millonaria con la que Emmett pretende cuidar de su familia el resto de su vida. Sin embargo, el dificultoso viaje hasta ese planeta demorará un año y durante ese tiempo, los elegidos tendrán que someterse a un durísimo entrenamiento del que sólo serán elegidos ocho, y la competencia será despiadada.

La primera parte de La Tríada de Nyxia es un desbordante viaje espacial con un ritmo que dejará al lector sin aliento.

Desesperado por regresar a la Tierra y reclamar la recompensa que BABEL les había prometido, Emmett y el equipo de Génesisunen fuerzas con los Imago. El ataque inicial dejó su ciudad natal en ruinas, pero esto era parte del plan. Ellos sabían una cosa que Babel desconocía. Este mundo está llegando a su fin. La colisión entre las dos lunas de Edén es inminente, y nadie puede evitarlo. Tras construir ocho estaciones de lanzamiento secretas, los IMAGO esperaban atraer a Babel a su planeta después de que ellos lo hubieran abandonado. Un plan perfecto hasta que la ruta de escape del equipo de Génesis es destruida. Ahora el grupo debe dividirse para sobrevivir a este terreno hostil y llegar a otra estación de lanzamiento. Mientras ambas partes se disputan la delantera, la lucha los conduce inevitablemente al espacio, donde Emmett, sus compañeros de equipo y sus nuevos aliados lucharán en una batalla final por el control de las naves de GÉNESIS. ¿Podrán sobrevivir al retorcido juego de Babel y vencer de una vez por todas?
