Song of great sorrow. Even greater love. Lost between the timeless lines of Homer’s epic, the women of Troy finally stand to be counted. Their story is one you’ve never encountered, and it will change the fate of Troy forever. Andromache has proven herself a capable leader, but can she maintain that hard-won status now that she is the mother to the city’s long-awaited heir? With enemies closing in, Andromache must bring together a divided city in time to make a final stand. Rhea is a Trojan spy, but she never expected to find love in the enemy camp. When the final battle lines are drawn, Rhea must decide where her loyalties lie and how much she is willing to lose. Helen is no longer the same broken woman first brought to Troy as a captive. Given a second chance at life, she must cast off her shroud of grief and use her healing gifts to save Troy’s greatest hope. Cassandra has seen Troy’s fate. But she knows the truth is only as valuable as the person who tells it . . . and few in Troy value her. All that is about to change. One hero will rise, another will fall . . . and this time, Cassandra will have her say.

Why is it so hard to stand up to authority, even when we know something’s wrong? Many of us comply much more than we realize. How many times have you wanted to object, disagree, or opt out of something but ended up swallowing your words, shaking your head, and just going along? Analyzing cases ranging from corporate corruption and sexual abuse to everyday acquiescence at work, the doctor’s office, and in our personal lives, award-winning organizational psychologist Dr. Sunita Sah delves deep into why the pressure to comply is a corrosive and often invisible force in our society. With her own revelatory research, she radically transforms our idea of defiance from a misunderstood negative trait into a crucial, positive force for personal and societal change. Taking us through her five stages of defiance, Dr. Sah equips readers with simple tools to make decisions that align with their values. Defy is the essential playbook for how to speak up and act when it matters most.

Trabajar de niñera para el padre soltero más gruñón del mundo debería haber sido pan comido. Pero no puedo dejar de mirarlo... Y el no puede mantener sus manos lejos de mí. Cade Eaton es trece años mayor que yo y apenas me presta atención. Hasta que una noche me meto en el jacuzzi con el y decidimos jugar a verdad o atrevimiento. A partir de ese momento, todo vale, menos la ropa. Es todo un cascarrabias y un poco rudo, pero resulta que los rancheros fornidos y malhablados son mi debilidad. Así que, ¿cómo voy a resistirme?

En el corazón de Tokio hay una pequeña biblioteca donde trabaja la señora Komachi. Teclea en su ordenador a velocidad de vértigo y en sus momentos de ocio crea pequeñas figuras de fieltro que luego regala a los visitantes más especiales, a los que les pregunta: «¿Qué es lo que buscas?». La respuesta parece sencilla, pero la señora Komachi no es como otros bibliotecarios. Ella puede adivinar cuáles son los sueños, los deseos y los pesares de la persona a la que escucha. Y es así como una recomendación suya les puede cambiar la vida. Solo hace falta que se entreguen a la lectura de un libro inesperado. La biblioteca de los nuevos comienzos es una oda al poder de los libros que nos enseña que, si se escucha con el corazón y se tiende una mano amiga, todos podemos alcanzar nuestros sueños.

Dos sitios y dos épocas diferentes: el Madrid de los ochenta, en plena ebullición, y la Barcelona de diez años más tarde, una ciudad igualmente vibrante. Náufragos recrea la relación entre Alejandra y Julio en este espacio urbano y poético donde se entrelazan los sueños, el amor y la incertidumbre. En él compartirán experiencias y reflexiones, pero las circunstancias laborales y familiares los irán separando, pese al empeño de ambos por negar la evidencia de que sus vidas ya han tomado rumbos diferentes.
