De la noche a la mañana Elise Kova se convirtió en una de mis autoras favoritas y estoy muy al pendiente de lo que saca. El martes pasado concluyó su serie de The Golden Guard, una trilogía de novelas cortas que son una precuela a su pentalogía Air Awakens y quedé queriendo más.
Desafortunadamente su siguiente libro sale hasta el 11 de julio. The Dragons of Nova es el segundo libro de lo que, hasta ahora, está pensada como una trilogía. El primer libro de The Loom Saga salió apenas en enero y me encantó así que no puedo esperar este siguiente tomo.
Y estoy muy contenta de tener la oportunidad de participar en el Cover Reveal junto con Rockstar Books. Aquí la tienen!
Sinopsis
Cvareh vuelve a casa a su mundo en el cielo de Nova con su temperamental huésped, la artífice Arianna. La inventora posee todo lo que la familia Xin necesita para cambiar la marea en la disputa de poder, pero los secretos que ella posee deben ser ganados a base de confianza - difícil de encontrar para Ari, especialmente cuando se trata de Dragones. En Nova, Ari se encuentra más cerca de extraer venganza contra el traidor que mató todo -y a todos- lo que alguna vez amó. Pero antes de que Ari pueda completar su campaña de venganza, la Corte Carmesí expone su sombrío pasado y revela algo aún más peligroso entre ella y Cvareh.
Mientras Nova está envuelta en juegos deportivos y políticos, los rebeldes en Loom se preparan para un asalto total a sus opresores Dragón. Florence inesperadamente se encuentra al frente del cambio, ya que su mezcla única de habilidades - y precisión de disparo - le hace una fuerza a tener en cuenta. Por el futuro de su mundo, ella jura venganza contra los Dragones.
Sin embargo, antes de que la rebelión pueda surgir, los Gremios deben caer.
Exclusive Excerpt
“They’re coming from the front!” Nora screamed over the crescendo of the engine gaining speed. On cue, the train lurched as an endwig was splattered to a bloody mess on the point of the engine’s pilot.
“Bloody cogs,” Florence cursed. The Vicar Alchemist had sent her to protect the mission as the Revolver, but one of her wasn’t going to be enough. “I’m going to the engine.”
“What are we going to do?” The usually self-sure Nora had the face of a cornered hare.
“You’re going to fight.” Florence passed her a weapon.
“I’ve never shot a gun before.”
“Now is a great time to learn.”
“I’m an Alchemist!”
Seriously, Florence was a breath away from shooting the woman herself. “You’re dead if you don’t adapt! There’s three more bombs exactly like the ones you just used, right there. Just fend them off until the train gets up to speed. But don’t use any other disks.”
Florence had no more time to waste as the train lurched again. They just had to survive until the train reached full speed. For all the endwig were, they certainly couldn’t keep up with a locomotive.
She hoped.
The wind whipped her hair around her face as she stuck her head from the train car. Florence reached out for the ladder to the right of the door, scaling up before another endwig could emerge. She swung up just in time as an explosion nearly blew her foot clean off.
“By the five guilds, you two only had three bombs!” she screamed over the wind, not knowing if they could hear. “Ration them a bit!”
Standing, Florence looked in horror at the tracks ahead. Dozens of endwig lined the path, running eagerly to meet the train. She loaded six canisters at once.
Jumping to the tender, Florence lost her footing atop the moving train car. A nail snapped clean off as she sought a grip that would prevent her from being thrown to certain death. If she fell now, she would never get back on the vessel. She’d be torn limb from limb.
Gritting her teeth, Florence rose to her knees, shooting two endwig in the process. She wedged herself between two grooves on the top of the tender. Blood pooled around her shins as she dug them into the metal for a grip where there was none, but she was stable enough to take aim, and that meant she could open fire.
Five shots down, and Florence reloaded her gun. Endwig came relentlessly like a never-ending nightmare. But the train didn’t gain any more speed. She repeated the process, waiting for the vessel to be like her bullets, whizzing through the night at deadly speeds.
“Anders, now would be a great time to open her up!” she screamed.
There was no reply.
“Anders, Rotus, we need speed, get us out of here faster!”
Five long claws curled around the door of the engine in answer. Florence watched in horror as the white silhouette of an endwig, dotted in the black blood of a Chimera, pulled itself from the engine room. Florence swallowed hard.
They were without Rivet and Raven, stumbling through the darkness, enemies at all sides. She raised her gun slowly, looking fearlessly at the face of death itself. Her revolver was steady over the rocking of the train.
“You think I’m not used to this?” Her mouth curled into a mad grin. “I’ve been fighting my way out of the darkness my whole life. And you’re not going to stop me now.”
Gunshots echoed through the forest.
