The Amber Spyglass
The Amber SpyglassIn the astonishing finale to the His Dark Materials trilogy, Lyra and Will are in unspeakable danger. With help from Iorek Byrnison the armored bear and two tiny Gallivespian spies, they must journey to a dank and gray-lit world where no living soul has ever gone. All the while, Dr. Mary Malone builds a magnificent Amber Spyglass. An assassin hunts her down, and Lord Asriel, with a troop of shining angels, fights his mighty rebellion, in a battle of strange allies—and shocking sacrifice. As war rages and Dust drains from the sky, the fate of the living—and the dead—finally comes to depend on two children and the simple truth of one simple story.
The Gunslinger
The Gunslinger[The Dark Tower][1] I The Gunslinger is a dark-fantasy by American author Stephen King. It is the first volume in the Dark Tower series. The Gunslinger was first published in 1982 as a fix-up novel, joining five short stories that had been published between 1978 and 1981.

The novel fuses Western fiction with fantasy, science fiction, and horror, following Roland's trek through a vast desert and beyond in search of the man in black. Roland meets several people along his journey, including a boy named Jake Chambers, who travels with him part of the way.

Northern Lights
Northern LightsIn a landmark epic of fantasy and storytelling, Philip Pullman invites readers into a world as convincing and thoroughly realized as Narnia, Earthsea, or Redwall. Here lives an orphaned ward named Lyra Belacqua, whose carefree life among the scholars at Oxford's Jordan College is shattered by the arrival of two powerful visitors. First, her fearsome uncle, Lord Asriel, appears with evidence of mystery and danger in the far North, including photographs of a mysterious celestial phenomenon called Dust and the dim outline of a city suspended in the Aurora Borealis that he suspects is part of an alternate universe. He leaves Lyra in the care of Mrs. Coulter, an enigmatic scholar and explorer who offers to give Lyra the attention her uncle has long refused her. In this multilayered narrative, however, nothing is as it seems. Lyra sets out for the top of the world in search of her kidnapped playmate, Roger, bearing a rare truth-telling instrument, the compass of the title. All around her children are disappearing—victims of so-called "Gobblers"—and being used as subjects in terrible experiments that separate humans from their daemons, creatures that reflect each person's inner being. And somehow, both Lord Asriel and Mrs. Coulter are involved.
The Hobbit
The HobbitThe Hobbit is a tale of high adventure, undertaken by a company of dwarves in search of dragon-guarded gold. A reluctant partner in this perilous quest is Bilbo Baggins, a comfort-loving unambitious hobbit, who surprises even himself by his resourcefulness and skill as a burglar. Encounters with trolls, goblins, dwarves, elves, and giant spiders, conversations with the dragon, Smaug, and a rather unwilling presence at the Battle of Five Armies are just some of the adventures that befall Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins has taken his place among the ranks of the immortals of children’s fiction. Written by Professor Tolkien for his children, The Hobbit met with instant critical acclaim when published.
The Subtle Knife

A friend or an enemy? The alethiometer answered: He is a murderer. When she saw the answer, she relaxed at once. Lyra finds herself in a shimmering, haunted otherworld – Cittàgazze, where soul-eating Spectres stalk the streets and wingbeats of distant angels sound against the sky. But she is not without allies: twelve-year-old Will Parry, fleeing for his life after taking another's, has also stumbled into this strange new realm. On a perilous journey from world to world, Lyra and Will uncover a deadly secret: an object of extraordinary and devastating power. And with every step, they move closer to an even greater threat – and the shattering truth of their own destiny.

A menina submersa
A menina submersaA Menina Submersa: Memórias é um verdadeiro conto de fadas, uma história de fantasmas habitada por sereias e licantropos. Mas antes de tudo uma grande história de amor construída como um quebra-cabeça pós-moderno, uma viagem através do labirinto de uma crescente doença mental. Um romance repleto de camadas, mitos e mistério, beleza e horror, em um fluxo de arquétipos que desafiam a primazia do "real" sobre o "verdadeiro" e resultam em uma das mais poderosas fantasias dark dos últimos anos. Considerado uma "obra-prima do terror" da nova geração, o romance é repleto de elementos de realismo mágico e foi indicado a mais de cinco prêmios de literatura fantástica, e vencedor do importante Bram Stoker Awards 2013. O trabalho cuidadoso de Caitlín R. Kiernan é nos guiar pela mente de sua personagem India Morgan Phelps, ou Imp, uma menina que tem nos livros os grandes companheiros na luta contra seu histórico genético esquizofrênico e paranoico. Filha e neta de mulheres que buscaram o suicídio como única alternativa, Imp começa a escrever um livro de memórias para tentar reconstruir seus pensamentos e lutar contra o que seria "a maldição da família Phelps", além de buscar suas lembranças sobre a inusitada Eva Canning, sua relação com a namorada e consigo mesma, que evoca em muitos momentos a atmosfera de filmes como Azul é a Cor mais Quente (Palma de Ouro em Cannes, 2013) e Almas Gêmeas (1994), de Peter Jackson. Não se assuste: é um livro dentro de um livro, e a incoerência uma isca para uma viagem mais profunda, onde a autora se aproxima de grandes nomes como Edgar Allan Poe e HP Lovecraft, que enxergaram o terror em um universo simples e trivial - na rua ao lado ou nas plácidas águas escuras do rio que passa perto de casa - , e sabem que o medo real nos habita. Caitlín dialoga ainda com o universo insólito de artistas como P.G.

Steel Machines
Steel MachinesPrague, 1945 Eight year old Otto Braum is the sole survivor of the massacre that claimed his parents and left him sustaining himself as best he can in the ruined attic hideout above his childhood home. But Otto is not alone. His father had a secret—a creation, unfinished, that he left behind. A secret that is pitiless in nature, relentless in design. A secret with the heart of a steel machine. From the Amazon best selling author of Down Into the Sea and These Things Linger comes a horrifying reimagining of the story of the golem. Part I Am Legend and part Caging Skies, <b>Steel Machines</b> is an unrelentingly tense tale of haunting, of vengeance... and of survival at any cost.

Honeysuckle
Honeysuckle<b><i>The Bear and the Nightingale</i> meets <i>Weyward</i> in this enchanting, deeply compelling debut about love and power, autonomy and consent.</b> Once upon a time, on the edge between meadow and forest, there was a lonely child with only his older sister for company. In exchange for being left in peace, his sister made him a playmate-Daye, a girl woven from flowers and words. And for the first time, this boy, Rory, had a friend. Rory couldn't be happier, until he learns that Daye is a short-lived creature. At the end of each season, she must be woven back together or fall gruesomely apart. And every time Daye falls apart might be her last. As Rory and Daye grow older and the line between friendship and romance begins to blur, Rory becomes desperate to break this cycle of bloom and decay. But the farther Rory pushes his research and experiments to lengthen Daye's existence, the more Daye begins to wonder just how much control she really has over her own life. As a loose reimagining of the story of Blodeuwedd from Welsh mythology, <i>Honeysuckle</i> is an entrancing, inventive, and unsettling debut.

A Spell for Saints and Sinners
A Spell for Saints and Sinners<b>Like a gender-flipped <i>Saltburn</i> set amidst the moss-draped, haunted beauty of Savannah, this intoxicating blend of Southern suspense and modern witchcraft from bestselling author Emily Carpenter casts a spell of class, power, and possession.</b> <i>In a city where ghosts linger in the moss and money buys salvation, a struggling psychic is drawn into Savannah’s glittering elite, as obsession and need curdle the lines between magic and madness, seduction and salvation, pirates and protectors…</i> In front of an elegantly shabby townhouse on a Savannah side street sits a hand-painted sign: <i>Miss Edie, Psychic</i>. Ingrid White inherited the house and business from her beloved grandmother, a local celebrity in town. But unless Ingrid can find a way to pay for crushing property taxes and mounting repairs, she’s going to lose them both. Ingrid has faith in the homespun witchcraft Edie passed down to her, yet hope and clients are dwindling.... Until Sailor Loeffler’s bachelorette party changes everything. Sailor is local royalty — part of the vast “Savannah Sauce” empire, beautiful and wealthy beyond imagining — and Ingrid’s reading is so accurate that she becomes the bride-to-be’s confidante. To keep that access and all the privileges it brings, Ingrid relies more and more on hexes and dark spells — using the baneful magic Edie always warned her against. As Ingrid works even riskier spells, she is drawn further into the Loefflers’ inner circle and the obstacles in her path melt away. But is it witchcraft or other, more earthbound forces? Ingrid can feel the lines blurring even as her powers seem to grow, until she must confront the truth about just how far some people, including herself, will go to keep the life they’ve always wanted...
