''''One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade'''' TIMEEnter the realm. Unleash the darkness. Live the legend.In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. Celaena Sardothien has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a deadly competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King''''s Champion.But something rotten dwells in the castle and it''''s there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena''''s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world, and the people she has come to love.Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that has captivated readers worldwide.

The ultimate hustle is to move freely between the street and corporate worlds, to find your flow and never stay locked in the same position. This is a manifesto for how to operate in the twenty-first century, where everything has been turned on its head. Building on the runaway success of Robert Greene's The 48 Laws of Power (almost five million copies sold), the 'modern Machiavelli' teams up with rapper 50 Cent to show how the power game of success can be played to your advantage.Drawing on the lore of gangsters, hustlers, and hip-hop artists, as well as 50 Cent's business and artistic dealings, the authors present the 'Laws of 50', revealing how to become a master strategist and supreme realist. Success comes from seeking an advantage in each and every encounter, and The 50th Law offers indispensable advice on how to win in business - and in life.

Os coidados, a fidelidade, a homosexualidade, a covardía, a vinganza, a suplantación de identidade, o amor polos libros, o contrabando ou a orfandade son algúns dos temas que compoñen este libro estremecedor onde o pano de fondo sempre e a guerra.Como xa fixera en As Rulas de Bakunin, Laura no deserto e O parai-so dos inocentes, Anton Riveiro Coello pon de novo os seus personaxes en situacions limite para que nos ofrezan o mellor e o peor de si. Relatos duros que nos enfrontan co espello para sabermos o lugar que poderiamos ocupar en conflitos tan diversos como os que acollen estes relatos. E tanto ten que a guerra se desenvolva en Ucraina, Siria, Rusia, Vietnam ou na raia seca ourensa. O importante nestas historias e o resultado conmovedor dunha escrita poderosa que, unha vez mais, ispe os personaxes para os deixar nunha intemperie que tamen poderia ser a nosa.

At the prestigious Tokyo Metropolitan Advanced Nurturing High School, which aims to produce the country's future leaders, students are given remarkable freedom. However, they also have to deal with a point system that decides one's place in the school's hierarchy! Ayanokoji Kiyotaka has landed at the bottom in the scorned Class D, where he meets Horikita Suzune, who's determined to work her way back up to Class A, and Kushida Kikyo, who seems like she only wants to make friends.

Quando um jovem professor decide aceitar a mão que o destino lhe estende, longe está de imaginar que, desse momento em diante, de mero espectador passará a narrador e personagem da sua própria vida. Na aldeia dos avós, no Alentejo mais profundo, Joaquim Baiôa, velho faz-tudo, decidiu recuperar as casas que os proprietários haviam votado ao abandono e assim reabilitar Gorda-e-Feia, antes que a morte a venha reclamar. Eis, pois, o pretexto ideal para uma pausa no ensino e o sossegar de um quotidiano apressado imposto pela modernidade. Mas, em Gorda-e-Feia, a morte insiste em sair a rua, e a pacatez por que o jovem professor ansiava torna-se um tempo a míngua, enquanto, juntamente com Baiôa, tenta lutar contra a desertificação de um mundo condenado. Num romance que tanto tem de poético como de irónico, repleto de personagens memoráveis e de exuberância imaginativa, e construído como uma teia que se adensa ao ritmo da leitura, Rui Couceiro põe frente a frente dois mundos antagónicos, o urbano e o rural, e duas gerações que se encontram a meio caminho, sobre o pó que ali se tinge de vermelho, o mais novo a espera, o mais velho sem data para morrer.
