      Ceilán, 1925. Gwendolyn Hooper, una joven inglesa de diecinueve años, llega emocionada a su nueva vida de casada con Laurence en una plantación de té. Sin embargo, su esposo es distante y reservado, siempre ausente por trabajo. Gwen, decidida a conocer su entorno, explora la plantación, descubriendo puertas cerradas, baúles polvorientos y una pequeña tumba en el jardín, que revelan un pasado inquietante y misterioso. Pronto queda embarazada, lo que alegra a Laurence, pero el día que debería ser el más feliz se convierte en una encrucijada que la obliga a tomar una decisión desgarradora, que debe ocultar y que solo le provoca ansiedad. ¿Podrá Gwen salvar su matrimonio y perdonarse por lo que ha hecho? Cuando llegue el momento de enfrentar la verdad, ¿podrá Laurence perdonarla en medio de un clima hostil marcado por tensiones entre tamiles, cingaleses y colonos británicos que amenazan su familia? La historia es una novela seductora y conmovedora que invita al lector a reflexionar sobre las decisiones difíciles. A través de aventuras, amor e intriga, la protagonista enfrenta el dolor y la adversidad, encontrando el valor necesario para seguir adelante.

    • A Darker Shade of Magic, from #1 New York Times bestselling author V.E. Schwab Kell is one of the last Antari—magicians with a rare, coveted ability to travel between parallel Londons; Red, Grey, White, and, once upon a time, Black. Kell was raised in Arnes—Red London—and officially serves the Maresh Empire as an ambassador, traveling between the frequent bloody regime changes in White London and the court of George III in the dullest of Londons, the one without any magic left to see. Unofficially, Kell is a smuggler, servicing people willing to pay for even the smallest glimpses of a world they'll never see. It's a defiant hobby with dangerous consequences, which Kell is now seeing firsthand. After an exchange goes awry, Kell escapes to Grey London and runs into Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She first robs him, then saves him from a deadly enemy, and finally forces Kell to spirit her to another world for a proper adventure. Now perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, they'll first need to stay alive. "A Darker Shade of Magic has all the hallmarks of a classic work of fantasy. Schwab has given us a gem of a tale...This is a book to treasure."—Deborah Harkeness, New York Times bestselling author of the All Souls trilogy Shades of Magic series 1. A Darker Shade of Magic 2. A Gathering of Shadows 3. A Conjuring of Light
