Prince of shadows, Rachel Caine

Gracias a mi suscripción a la newsletter de Rachel Caine, he recibido información recién salida del horno de sus nuevos proyectos, como el libro Prince of shadows, relacionado con la historia clásica de Romeo y Julieta, así como fechas de presentaciones (que como son todas en EEUU no pondré aquí) y notícias varias sobre la película. Os dejo lo que más nos interesa: portada, sinopsis del nuevo libro y película de Exile, otra de sus novelas, además de la información sobre una nueva trilogía basada en la Biblioteca de Alejandría:

PRINCE OF SHADOWS

4 Febrero 2014

In the Houses of Montague and Capulet, there is only one goal: power. The boys are born to fight and die for honor and—if they survive—marry for influence and money, not love. The girls are assets, to be spent wisely. Their wishes are of no import. Their fates are written on the day they are born.

Benvolio Montague, cousin to Romeo, knows all this. He expects to die for his cousin, for his house, but a spark of rebellion still lives inside him. At night, he is the Prince of Shadows, the greatest thief in Verona—and he risks all as he steals from House Capulet. In doing so, he sets eyes on convent-bound Rosaline, and a terrible curse begins that will claim the lives of many in Verona…

…And will rewrite all their fates, forever. 


Traducción mía:


En las Casas de Montague y Capuleto, sólo hay un objetivo: el poder. Los chicos han nacido para luchar y morir por el honor y -si sobreviven- se casan por la influencia y el dinero, no por el amor. Las chicas están disponibles, para ser usadas sabiamente. Sus deseos no importan. Sus destinos están escritos desde el día que nacen.

Benvolio Montague, primo de Romeo, sabe todo esto. Él espera a morir por su primo, en su casa, pero una chispa de rebelión aún vive dentro de él. Por la noche, él es el príncipe de las sombras, el mayor ladrón de Verona y se arriesga en todo lo que roba en casa de Capuleto. Al hacerlo, él fija los ojos en un convento donde se halla Rosaline, y una terrible maldición empieza cobrándose la vida de muchos en Verona ...

... Y volverá a escribir todos sus destinos para siempre.

MOVIE NEWS!

Rachel's novel EXILE, TEXAS (published in 2003, as Roxanne Longstreet Conrad) has recently been optioned for film, and Rachel co-wrote the script with her friend, actor Glenn Rogers. There's an IMDB listing here, and we'll give you more EXILE news as it becomes available.

About EXILE:

Deputy Dan Fox has moved to the small Texas town of Exile to escape an unhappy past, and now his worst problem seems to be boredom, and a dead-end job ... at least until the beautiful, angry Meg Leary speeds into town. Meg's come back to solve her mother's long-ago murder, but since everyone believes she was the killer, she's not exactly welcome in town. Her investigation will stir up ghosts of old crimes, and lead to new bloody murder. It'll take both Dan and Meg to bring justice to this town--if they can survive to see it done.

NEW BOOK SERIES

Rachel is pleased to announce a new three-book deal with NAL/Penguin Random House!

In the new Great Library trilogy, the Library of Alexandria (which housed one of the most significant manuscript collections of the ancient world, and famously burned down) still exists. The library has become all-powerful, and, while there is unfettered access to information digitally, it is a crime to keep print books in any personal collection.

The first book in the Great Library series is planned for summer 2015.
