THE LORD OF THE PLAINS (CHAPMAN, SARAH)

In an empty and dangerous world, the human city of Astar shines as a lone beacon of peace, free from the constant warring of the inhuman, gemeng tribes of the Plains. Aerlid, a man neither human nor gemeng, tricks his way into Astar with his charge, a young gemeng named Riley. In the human city, she experiences a type of fear and oppression foreign to her, and longs for the freedom of the world beyond the city walls. Unbeknownst to her, the world is changing. To the north, another human city is discovered, where the people do not constantly fear invasion by the gemengs, while in the western city of Coastside, a young man begins speaking to the fishpeople, gemengs that dwell within the ocean. But something far worse is coming. The ancestors of the gemengs, creatures far more powerful than gemeng or human has faced in centuries, are returning. Unaware of the danger, Riley abandons the safety of Astar, while the people of the city remain sure in the strength of their walls...

ANÓMALOS . LA LUNA DE SANGRE (IGLESIAS FERREIRA, DAVID)

No te fíes de su tamaño; esta es una historia muy grande. El mundo está lleno de luces y sombras, pero muy pocos pueden ver que hay tras ellas. Las fuerzas de la luz y la oscuridad luchan desde el albor de los tiempos por las almas de los hombres. Demonios, brujas, zombis, hadas, espectros y muchas otras criaturas se ocultan entre nosotros. A lo mejor, tras la sonrisa de ese camarero que te sirve el café por las mañanas o la de esa peluquera que te corta el pelo, o quizás también tras el político que con una amable sonrisa demanda tu voto... Aunque probablemente esto último no le extrañe a nadie. Conoceremos a la Sociedad de Conservación Histórica -una organización con más de mil años de antigüedad que lucha contra las fuerzas del mal, convencidos de que la mayor arma contra el mal es la educación- y a uno de sus miembros más controvertidos, Artai, un personaje políticamente incorrecto y con poderes sobrenaturales que se ve inmerso en una aventura más grande de lo que pensaba, mientras busca a su mentor desaparecido. Un poderoso aquelarre se ha reunido con la intención de cubrir el mundo de tinieblas. En su camino, Artai se encontrará con todo tipo de peligros y algunos nuevos amigos que lo ayudarán en su búsqueda, como Iria, la reina de las mouras y primera meiga. Situada en tierras gallegas, La luna de sangre es una trepidante aventura llena de magia y seres sobrenaturales que intercala momentos de acción y de comedia.
