Description
Un romance épico entre aventuras fascinantes
Karou es una estudiante de arte de 17 años que vive en Praga. Pero ese no es su único mundo. A veces, Karou desaparece en misteriosos viajes para realizar los encargos de Brimstone, el monstruo quimera que la adoptó al nacer. Tan misteriosa resulta Karou para sus amigos, como lo es para ella su propia vida: cómo es que ha acabado formando parte de una familia de monstruos quimeras? Para qué necesita su padre adoptivo tantos dientes, especialmente de humanos? Y, por qué tiene esa recurrente sensación de vacío, de haber olvidado algo? De pronto, empiezan a aparecer marcas de manos en las puertas, señal de que la familia de Karou corre grave peligro. Karou tratará de cruzar al mundo quimérico para ayudarlos, pero es perseguida por los serafines. Entre ellos se encuentra Akiva, un ángel arrebatadoramente hermoso al que Karou está unida de una forma que ni ella misma puede imaginar. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION A Time Magazine 100 Best YA Books of All Time Selection In a nation on the brink of war, a young art student's star-crossed love begins to bloom in the first book of the New York Times bestselling epic fantasy trilogy by award-winning author Laini Taylor. Around the world, black handprints are appearing on doorways, scorched there by winged strangers who have crept through a slit in the sky.
In a dark and dusty shop, a devil's supply of human teeth grown dangerously low. And in the tangled lanes of Prague, a young art student is about to be caught up in a brutal otherworldly war. Meet Karou. She fills her sketchbooks with monsters that may or may not be real; she's prone to disappearing on mysterious "errands"; she speaks many languages -- not all of them human; and her bright blue hair actually grows out of her head that color. Who is she? That is the question that haunts her, and she's about to find out. When one of the strangers -- beautiful, haunted Akiva -- fixes his fire-colored eyes on her in an alley in Marrakesh, the result is blood and starlight, secrets unveiled, and a star-crossed love whose roots drink deep of a violent past. But will Karou live to regret learning the truth about herself?
