All her life, Spensa has dreamed of becoming a pilot. Of proving she's a hero like her father. She made it to the sky, but the truths she learned about her father were crushing. The rumours of his cowardice are true - he deserted his flight during battle against the Krell. Worse, though, he turned against his team and attacked them. Spensa is sure there's more to the story. And she's sure that whatever happened to her father in his starship could happen to her. When she made it outside the protective shell of her planet, she heard the stars - and it was terrifying.

Un hombre despierta en el claro de un bosque de lo que parece ser la Inglaterra medieval, sin ningún recuerdo sobre quién es, de dónde procede ni por qué está allí. Perseguido por un grupo llegado de su propia época, su única posibilidad de sobrevivir pasa por recuperar la memoria perdida, conseguir aliados entre la gente del lugar y quizás incluso confiaren sus supersticiosos alardes. Su única ayuda del «mundo real» debería haber sido un manual titulado La guía del mago frugal para sobrevivir en la Inglaterra del Medievo, pero el ejemplar que tenía explotó en el traslado.

Después de irrumpir en la escena de la fantasía con su aclamada novela debut, "Elantris", y seguir con su exitosa trilogía "Mistborn", Brandon Sanderson demuestra una vez más que es el principal maestro de lo que Tolkien llamó "creación secundaria", la invención de mundos enteros, con magias y mitos propios. Warbreaker es la historia de dos hermanas, que resultan ser princesas, el Dios Rey con una de ellas tiene que casarse, el dios menor al que no le gusta su trabajo y el inmortal que todavía está tratando de deshacer los errores que cometió durante cientos de años.

Alcatraz Smedry has successfully defeated the army of Evil Librarians and saved the kingdom of Mokia. Too bad he managed to break the Smedry Talents in the process.

To revive her, Alcatraz must infiltrate the Highbrary - known as The Library of Congress to Hushlanders - the seat of Evil Librarian power. Without his Talent to draw upon, can Alcatraz figure out a way to save Bastille and defeat the Evil Librarians once and for all?

Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his wills. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners.

A thousand years ago evil came to the land and has ruled with an iron hand ever since. The sun shines fitfully under clouds of ash that float down endlessly from the constant eruption of volcanoes. A dark lord rules through the aristocratic families, and ordinary folk are condemned to lives in servitude, sold as goods, labouring in the ash fields. But now a troublemaker has arrived, and there is rumour of revolt.

La vida de Spensa como miembro de la Fuerza de Defensa Desafiante dista mucho de ser normal y corriente. Demostró ser una de las mejores pilotos de caza estelar en el enclave humano de Detritus y salvó a su pueblo del exterminio a manos de los krells, la enigmática especie alienígena que los tenía prisioneros desde hace décadas. Por si fuera poco, viajó a años-luz de distancia de su hogar como espía infiltrada en la Supremacía, a un lugar donde descubrió que había toda una galaxia más allá de su pequeño y desolado planeta natal.

As a Knight of Crystallia, I, Bastille, swore to protect the Smedry clan from the Evil Librarians. (And believe me, screwups like them constantly need protecting.) But when Alcatraz Smedry got strapped to an altar of outdated encyclopedias to be sacrificed to the dark gods, I arrived too late—and instead his father took his place. Now Alcatraz is a blubbering mess, so it’s up to me lead the charge against his father’s killer: Biblioden, founder of the Evil Librarians—I was sure he died centuries ago—who’s back to complete his goal of world domination.

En realidad, ella siempre quiso ser piloto: poder probar que es una heroína, como su padre. Y aunque llegó a lo más alto, los secretos que desenmascaró sobre su padre fueron aplastantes.

Los rumores sobre su cobardía resultaron ciertos. Abandonó su vuelo durante la batalla contra los Krell. Peor aún... se volvió contra su equipo y los atacó. Sin embargo, Spensa está segura de que hay aún más por descubrir en esa historia. Y, si es necesario, viajará hasta el fin de la galaxia para salvar a la humanidad.

Fans of Robert Jordan and George R. R. Martin alike have found a new champion of epic fantasy in Brandon Sanderson. And now, in the first of two sequels to The Alloy Of Law, the Sunday Times and New York Times best-selling author returns to the world of Mistborn. It is more than 300 years after the events of the The Final Empire shaped Scadrial. Waxillium Ladrian has returned to the capital city of Elendel from the far-flung roughs.

Les brumes règnent sur la nuit, le Seigneur Maître sur le monde. Vin ne connaît de l'Empire Ultime que les brumes de Luthadel, les pluies de cendres et le regard d'acier des Grands Inquisiteurs. Depuis plus de 1000 ans, le Seigneur Maître gouverne les hommes par la terreur. Seuls les nobles pratiquent l'allomancie, la précieuse magie des métaux. Mais Vin n'est pas une adolescente comme les autres. Et le jour où sa route croise celle de Kelsier, le plus célèbre voleur de l'Empire, elle est entraînée dans un combat sans merci.

Spensa's life as a Defiant Defense Force pilot has been far from ordinary. She proved herself one of the best starfighters in the human enclave of Detritus and she saved her people from extermination at the hands of the Krell—the enigmatic alien species that has been holding them captive for decades. What's more, she travelled light-years from home as a spy to infiltrate the Superiority, where she learned of the galaxy beyond her small, desolate planet home. Now, the Superiority—the governing galactic alliance bent on dominating all human life—has started a galaxy-wide war.

Warbreaker is the story of two sisters, who happen to be princesses, the God King one of them has to marry, the lesser god who doesn’t like his job, and the immortal who’s still trying to undo the mistakes he made hundreds of years ago. Their world is one in which those who die in glory return as gods to live confined to a pantheon in Hallandren’s capital city and where a power known as BioChromatic magic is based on an essence known as breath that can only be collected one unit at a time from individual people.
