Durante mil años han caído las cenizas y nada florece. Durante mil años los skaa han sido esclavizados y viven sumidos en un miedo inevitable. Durante mil años, el Lord Legislador reina con un poder absoluto. Le ayudan los "obligadores" y los "inquisidores" junto a la poderosa magia de la "alomancia" que reside en los nobles. Algunos de ellos son capaces de "quemar" los metales que han tragado y que les otorgan poderes sobrenaturales. Diferentes metales, actuando en pares, otorgan poderes distintos. Pero los nobles, demasiado a menudo, han tenido trato sexual con jóvenes skaa y, aunque la ley lo prohíbe, algunos de sus bastardos han sobrevivido y heredado los poderes alománticos: son los "nacidos de la bruma", los mistborns...

Durante mil años han caído las cenizas y nada florece. Durante mil años los skaa han sido esclavizados y viven sumidos en un miedo inevitable. Durante mil años el Lord Legislador reina con un poder absoluto gracias al terror, a sus poderes y a su inmortalidad. Le ayudan «obligadores» e «inquisidores», junto a la poderosa magia de la «alomancia». Pero los nobles han tenido a menudo trato sexual con jóvenes skaa y, aunque la ley lo prohíbe, algunos de sus bastardos han sobrevivido y heredado los poderes alománticos: son los «nacidos de la bruma» ('mistborns'). Ahora, Kelsier, el «superviviente», el único que ha logrado huir de los Pozos de Hathsin, ha encontrado a Vin, una pobre chica skaa con mucha suerte… Tal vez los dos unidos a la rebelión que los skaa intentan desde hace mil años puedan cambiar el mundo y la atroz dominación del Lord Legislador.

La esperada continuación de Juramentada. Brandon Sanderson, en la cima de su carrera. Tras forjar una coalición de resistencia humana contra la invasión enemiga, Dalinar Kholin y sus Caballeros Radiantes llevan un año librando una guerra brutal. Ningún bando tiene ventaja. Mientras los nuevos descubrimientos tecnológicos cambian la contienda, el enemigo prepara una operación peligrosa. La carrera armamentística resultante desafiará el núcleo de los ideales Radiantes y quizá revele los secretos de la antiquísima torre en la que una vez residió toda su fuerza. Brandon Sanderson es el gran renovador de la fantasía del siglo XXI y el autor más prolífico del mundo. Desde que debutara en 2005, ha deslumbrado a 17 millones de lectores en 30 lenguas con el Cosmere, el fascinante universo de magia que comparten la mayoría de sus obras. Con un plan de publicación de más de veinte futuras obras (y la interconexión de todas ellas), el Cosmere se convertirá en la saga más extensa e impresionante jamás escrita en fantasía épica.

El inicio de la nueva trilogía young adult de Sanderson: Top Gun en el espacio. El mundo lleva siglos en guerra; la humanidad está atrapada en un planeta constantemente atacado por unos alienígenas decididos a destruirla. Los pilotos son los únicos héroes dispuestos a combatir el enemigo. Spensa es una joven que siempre ha soñado convertirse en piloto y defender a la Tierra. Pero su destino se cruza con el de su padre, un piloto que fue asesinado tras abandonar a su equipo, anulando sus opciones de asistir a la escuela de vuelo. De pronto, el ataque alienígena ha hecho duplicar la flota aérea de los humanos, facilitando que Spensa ahora sí pueda volar al espacio… BRANDON SANDERSON es el gran renovador de la fantasía del siglo XXI, con diez millones de lectores y los derechos cinematográficos de toda su obra vendidos.

Una historia apasionante ambientada en el Cosmere, narrada por Hoid, presenta a Yumi y Pintor, dos personas de mundos opuestos que deben colaborar para salvar sus comunidades de la ruina. Yumi proviene de una tierra de jardines y espíritus, mientras que Pintor vive en un mundo oscuro y tecnológico. Cuando sus vidas se entrelazan, se enfrentan al desafío de dejar de lado sus diferencias para descubrir los misterios de su situación y evitar un desastre inminente. Brandon Sanderson, autor bestseller del New York Times, lanzó una exitosa campaña de crowdfunding en 2022 para cuatro novelas escritas en secreto durante la pandemia. Estas obras, que reflejan su crecimiento como narrador, ofrecen mundos nuevos y vibrantes. Tres de ellas se sitúan en el Cosmere, mientras que la cuarta es diferente. Aunque los títulos se mantienen en secreto para permitir una experiencia fresca y sin spoilers, se planean lanzamientos en formato físico, digital y audiolibro a lo largo de 2023. Sanderson busca que los lectores disfruten de la sorpresa y la emoción de sumergirse en estas historias sin conocer los detalles de antemano, lo que también puede ser ideal para clubes de lectura. Acompáñanos en este emocionante viaje y descubre el secreto que ha estado guardando.

Durante los últimos mil años, han caído las cenizas y nada florece. Durante mil años, los skaa han sido esclavizados y han vivido sumidos en un miedo inevitable. Durante mil años, el Lord Legislador ha reinado con un poder absoluto gracias al terror y a su divina invencibilidad por la poderosa magia de la "alomancia". Kelsier, el Superviviente, el único que logró huir de los Pozos de Hathsin, encontró a Vin, una pobre chica skaa con mucha suerte. Los dos, unidos a la rebelión que los skaa llevaban adelante desde hacía mil años, han vencido al Lord Legislador, pero Kelsier ha muerto y ahora hay que reinar sin la ayuda del héroe y sin disponer de los poderes del Lord Legislador. Todo ello pone de manifiesto un hecho realmente aterrador: matar al Lord Legislador fue la parte sencilla. Sobrevivir a las consecuencias de su caída va a ser el verdadero desafío. Tomar el poder resultó tal vez fácil (como en la revolución francesa o la soviética ...), pero qué ocurre después?, cómo se usa el poder? Una amena reflexión de estrategia política y religiosa en el marco de una aventura épica con luchas estilo kung fu gracias a los siempre misteriosos poderes de la alomancia

La ciudad de Chicago Nova es libre, pero David se enfrenta a un nuevo desafío tras la muerte de Steelheart, un Gran Épico que parecía invencible. Aunque acabar con Steelheart debería haberle dado paz, solo ha despertado más preguntas sin respuesta. En busca de claridad, David se dirige a Babilonia Restaurada, el antiguo Manhattan, una ciudad sombría y gobernada por la Gran Épica Regalia. A pesar del peligro que representa entrar en este lugar bajo un régimen despótico, David siente que las respuestas que necesita pueden estar allí. La muerte de Steelheart dejó un vacío en su corazón, que había tratado de llenar con la búsqueda de Firefight, una Épica desaparecida. Ahora, se embarca en una misión más arriesgada que la rebelión anterior, persiguiendo a Firefight y las respuestas que tanto anhela. Esta edición incluye el relato Mitosis, que se sitúa entre el primer y el segundo libro de la trilogía. La crítica destaca la brillantez del autor, consolidando su lugar como un narrador excepcional.

Diez años atrás, Calamity irrumpió en la ciudad en la forma de una explosión en el cielo que otorgó a algunos seres poderes extraordinarios. A estos se los empezó a llamar Épicos, y pronto subyugaron a la población empleando sus increíbles poderes con el afán de gobernar la voluntad de los hombres y conquistar el mundo. Ahora, un tirano y furioso Épico llamado Steelheart se ha proclamado dueño y señor de la ciudad de Chicago Nova. De él se dice que es invencible; ninguna bala puede hacerle daño, ninguna espada puede atravesar su piel, ningún fuego quemar su cuerpo. Nadie se atreve a desafiarlo… Nadie salvo los Reckoners, un grupo clandestino que no goza de poderes pero sí de una férrea disciplina, conseguida tras pasarse la vida estudiando el comportamiento de los Épicos con el objetivo de hallar sus puntos débiles y poder así exterminarlos. El joven David Charleston se unirá a ellos con el fin de vengar la muerte de su padre a manos de Steelheart. Los Reckoners quieren venganza, y el chico tiene una cualidad que le distingue del resto: sabe que el Épico no es invencible. David es el único que ha visto sangrar a Steelheart.
