NOVEDADES

After Tova Sullivan’s husband died, she began working the night shift at the Sowell Bay Aquarium, mopping floors and tidying up. Keeping busy has always helped her cope, which she’s been doing since her eighteen-year-old son, Erik, mysteriously vanished on a boat in Puget Sound over thirty years ago. Tova becomes acquainted with curmudgeonly Marcellus, a giant Pacific octopus living at the aquarium. Marcellus knows more than anyone can imagine but wouldn’t dream of lifting one of his eight arms for his human captors—until he forms a remarkable friendship with Tova. Ever the detective, Marcellus deduces what happened the night Tova’s son disappeared. And now Marcellus must use every trick his old invertebrate body can muster to unearth the truth for her before it’s too late.

From the art of liars, the monsters came . . . Ever since art gave life to bloodthirsty shadows, creative works have been forbidden and talented creators sacrificed to the Sinless—the immortal royals who feast on human blood in return for their protection. Inana’s secret storytelling nearly got her killed once, and she’ll be damned if she’s ever caught again. With a bounty on her head, she keeps to the city’s dark underbelly, where she earns a meager living from thrill-seeking patrons desperate to hear her illicit fiction. Until Dominic, a Shadowbane, catches one of her performances. Dominic is a half-Sinless monster hunter as fearsome as his prey. But to complete his hunt, he needs an artist to summon the shadows . . . he needs Inana. Dominic delivers an ultimatum: Serve him or he’ll claim her bounty. When survival is all Inana has left, the choice is clear—at least until she can betray him and leave him for dead. As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, dark secrets unravel—about each other, their world, and the threats they face. But the greatest risk of all is the desire growing between them. There’s something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.

¿Se puede escapar de las garras del pasado?¿Se puede huir del monstruo que rompió tu corazón y que intenta encontrarte solo para hacer cenizas los trozos que aún te quedan? Anastasia Evans conoce el dolor mejor que nadie: destruyeron su vida, acabaron con su inocencia, desmembraron su alma siendo solo una adolescente. Pero ya no quiere huir, está cansada de hacerlo, ahora quiere justicia y no descansará hasta conseguirlo. Y en el camino, pese a ya no creer en las personas, descubrirá que aún quedan algunas por las que vale la pena apostar, y que a veces el amor irrumpe en nuestras vidas sin anunciar su llegada. ¿El amor podrá sobrevivir en medio del caos, del miedo y de las sombras que la persiguen?

El arte de la enfermería como eje de la existencia humana. El libro SANAR, VIVIR Y CUIDAR, desde el enfoque de la enfermería, es un ensayo humanístico y reflexivo, que aborda desde distintas dimensiones, cómo el cuidado de la enfermera es esencial para la prevención, recuperación y detección del paciente, ya sea en una sala de hospital como en el hogar. Carlina Luis es una autora visionaria que se desplaza entre líneas con gran agilidad, desde lo teórico a lo práctico, trillando a su vez un sendero de esperanza, para los usuarios de los sistemas de salud y para la población en sentido general. Para ella, "cuidar, más que un acto profesional, es una gestión humana; es acompañar, enseñar, escuchar, actuar con empatía, y también con firmeza. Es mirar al ser humano como un ser integral, no solo como un diagnóstico" Así mismo, insiste en que "necesitamos construir una cultura donde el auto- cuidado no sea una opción, sino una decisión consciente, respaldada por el conocimiento y el acompañamiento profesional": Es evidente que, por su sentido de responsabilidad en la investigación y su talento, Carlina Luis se posiciona hoy como un referente de la enferme- ría, tanto en la República Dominicana como en América Latina, de manera profesional y literaria.

When Rin aced the Keju—the Empire-wide test to find the most talented youth to learn at the Academies—it was a shock to everyone: to the test officials, who couldn’t believe a war orphan from Rooster Province could pass without cheating; to Rin’s guardians, who believed they’d finally be able to marry her off and further their criminal enterprise; and to Rin herself, who realized she was finally free of the servitude and despair that had made up her daily existence. That she got into Sinegard—the most elite military school in Nikan—was even more surprising. But surprises aren’t always good. Because being a dark-skinned peasant girl from the south is not an easy thing at Sinegard. Targeted from the outset by rival classmates for her color, poverty, and gender, Rin discovers she possesses a lethal, unearthly power—an aptitude for the nearly mythical art of shamanism. Exploring the depths of her gift with the help of a seemingly insane teacher and psychoactive substances, Rin learns that gods long thought dead are very much alive—and that mastering control over those powers could mean more than just surviving school.
