The Sinister Booksellers of Bath
There is often trouble of a mythical sort in Bath. The booksellers who police the Old World keep a careful watch there, particularly on the entity who inhabits the ancient hot spring. Yet this time it is not from Sulis Minerva that trouble starts. It comes from the discovery of a sorcerous map, leading left-handed bookseller Merlin into great danger. A desperate rescue is attempted by his sister the right-handed bookseller Vivien and their friend, art student Susan Arkshaw, who is still struggling to deal with her own recently discovered magical heritage. The map takes the trio to a place separated from the world, maintained by deadly sorcery performed by an Ancient Sovereign and guarded by monstrous living statues of Portland Stone. But this is only the beginning, as the booksellers investigate centuries of disappearances and deaths and try to unravel the secrets of the murderous Lady of Stone, a serial killer of awesome powers. If they do not stop her, she will soon kill again. And this time, her target is not an ordinary mortal. A wintry return to the slightly alternate 1980s England of The Left-Handed Booksellers of London.Praise for Garth NixGarth Nix is one of the best world-builders in fantasy. (BRANDON SANDERSON)

Sabriel
Sabriel studia in un rispettabile college per sole ragazze non lontano dal Muro che divide lo stato di Ancelstierre dal magico e pericoloso Vecchio Regno, dove suo padre ricopre la carica di Abhorsen, il protettore che ha il compito di impedire ai Morti di tornare nel mondo dei vivi. Da quando la famiglia reale è decaduta, i Morti sono diventati sempre più forti e intrepidi, minacciando di sopraffare l'intero regno. Il padre di Sabriel è stato intrappolato nel mondo dei Morti da una pericolosa creatura, perciò la ragazza si mette in viaggio per salvarlo. Lungo la strada, troverà come compagni di viaggio Mogget, un antico spirito costretto nella forma di un gatto bianco, e il giovane mago Touchstone, che Sabriel libera da un lungo incantesimo ma che è ancora intrappolato sotto il peso di dolorosi ricordi. Ogni passo nelle profondità del Vecchio Regno li avvicina a minacce mai viste prima, che costringeranno Sabriel ad affrontare il proprio destino in una battaglia con le vere forze della vita e della morte.
