Magia Sombría - Softcover

"If you are pining for that thrill you felt when you first discovered Harry Potter, let me recommend Shadow Magic. Here is a fantasy world you will lose yourself in--with Six Great Families of magic, the nicest princess of darkness you've ever met, a peasant boy with skills to rival Robin Hood, and a supporting cast of zombies, paladins, ghost puppies, executioners, minstrels, murderers, and a giant hero bat. I defy you not to love this story."?Rick Riordan, on the English-language edition

Lily, only thirteen years old when her entire family was murdered and she had to suddenly become the ruler of Gehenna. Gehenna is about to be conquered by their ancient enemy, House Shadow, but how can Lily save her land when, as a girl, magic is forbidden to her? Thorn, an outlaw's son, wasn't supposed to be a slave. He never should have run away from home, leaving his mother and siblings to fend for themselves. Now he's been sold to Tyburn, an executioner, and they're headed to Castle Gloom in Gehenna, the land of undead. A sudden death brings Lily and Thorn together, inspires them to break the rules, and leads them to soar to new heights in this fantasy with all the sparkle and luster of a starry night sky.

Lily, con tan solo trece anos de edad y despues del asesinato de toda su familia, se convierte subitamente en la gobernante de Gehenna. Es la unica superviviente de la Casa de los Sombra, una larga saga de oscuros hechiceros, cuyos poderes se han ido perdiendo generacion tras generacion. Ahora Gehenna esta a punto de ser conquistada por los antiguos enemigos de los Sombra, pero como podra Lily salvar su tierra si la magia de los muertos vivientes esta prohibida para ella? Thorn es un joven campesino, astuto e inteligente, que ha sido vendido como esclavo y que esta desesperado por escapar y encontrar a su padre desaparecido. Por eso, cuando es comprado por Tyburn, el verdugo de la Casa de los Sombra, esta dispuesto a servir en el Castillo de la Penumbra durante un ano y un dia, a cambio de conseguir su ansiada libertad. Juntos, Lily y Thorn (y un increible murcielago gigante), forjan una inusitada amistad y se unen para romper todas las reglas, invocar la magia prohibida y proteger el reino de las sombras.
