The Bright Sword
NATIONAL BESTSELLER • A New York Times Editors’ Choice • The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Magicians Trilogy and “master storyteller” (New York Times) returns with a triumphant reimagining of the King Arthur legend for the new millennium Los Angeles Times Book Prize Finalist NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY THE NEW YORK TIMES, NPR, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL, VANITY FAIR, TIME, OPRAH DAILY, TOWN & COUNTRY, ELLE, VOX, PASTE, LIT HUB, POLYGON, KIRKUS REVIEWS “Lev Grossman’s The Bright Sword stands out as the best fantasy of the year.” —The Wall Street Journal “Grossman, who is best known for his The Magicians series, is at the top of his game with The Bright Sword.” —The New York Times Book Review “A thrilling new take on Arthurian legend. . . . Marvelous.” —The Washington PostA gifted young knight named Collum arrives at Camelot to compete for a place at the Round Table, only to find that he’s too late. King Arthur died two weeks ago at the Battle of Camlann, and only a handful of the knights of the Round Table are left.The survivors aren’t the heroes of legend like Lancelot or Gawain. They’re the oddballs of the Round Table, like Sir Palomides, the Saracen Knight, and Sir Dagonet, Arthur’s fool, who was knighted as a joke. They’re joined by Nimue, who was Merlin’s apprentice until she turned on him and buried him under a hill. But it's up to them to rebuild Camelot in a world that has lost its balance, even as God abandons Britain and the fairies and old gods return, led by Morgan le Fay. They must reclaim Excalibur and make this ruined world whole again—but first they'll have to solve the mystery of why the lonely, brilliant King Arthur fell. The first major Arthurian epic of the new millennium, The Bright Sword is steeped in tradition, complete with duels and quests, battles and tournaments, magic swords and Fisher Kings. It's also a story about imperfect men and women, full of strength and pain, trying to reforge a broken land in spite of being broken themselves.

Kate y su hermano menor Tom llevan unas vidas aburridas y poco interesantes. Y seguramente sus padres tienen algo que ver con eso. ¿Por qué Kate no puede vivir aventuras extraordinarias y salvar el mundo como lo hacen los protagonistas de los libros que lee? Incluso su undécimo cumpleaños parece que será igual de anodino, hasta que su misterioso tío Herbert, a quien no conocía, la sorprende con el regalo de cumpleaños más inesperado, impresionante e inapropiado que se pueda imaginar: una colosal locomotora de vapor llamada La Flecha Plateada. Sus padres quieren devolverle el regalo al tío Herbert, pero antes de que eso suceda, Kate y Tom viajan a tierras lejanas a bordo de La Flecha Plateada y en compañía de toda clase de animales exóticos que, al parecer, pueden hablar.

Quizá terminen salvando el mundo después de todo. Kate and her younger brother Tom lead boring and uninteresting lives. And surely her parents have something to do with it.

Her parents want to return the gift to Uncle Herbert, but before that happens, Kate and Tom travel to distant lands aboard the Silver Arrow and in the company of all kinds of exotic animals that, it seems, can talk.

Warp
This re-publication of Lev Grossman's debut novel, Warp, shows the roots of his Magicians hero Quentin Coldwater in a book that is for anyone (and everyone) who has ever felt adrift in their own life. Twenty-something Hollis Kessler languishes in a hopelessly magician-less world (with the exception of a fleet-footed nymph named Xanthe) not too far from where he graduated college. His friends do, too. They sleep late, read too much, drink too much, talk too much, and work and earn and do way too little. But Hollis does have an obsession: there's another world going on in his head, a world of excitement and danger and starships and romance, and it's telling him that it's time to stop dreaming and get serious.
