Två efterlängtade böcker!

 

I somras (i Juli tror jag) förhandsbokade jag två böcker så fort jag såg dem. Och dessutom fanns dem båda som signerade och lite "lyxigare" exemplar så det slog jag till på! Det var inne hos Waterstones i UK. För någon vecka sedan fick jag hem dem och de är så fina! Tänkte bara visa dem här lite snabbt. Men jag använder mig av bilderna från nätet eftersom min kamera inte gör dem rättvisa.

Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine, as the shareholders and directors of Snoop, the hottest new music app, gather for a make or break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar dot com buyout that could make them all millionaires, or leave some of them out in the cold.

The clock is ticking on the offer, and with the group irrevocably split, tensions are running high. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help, and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask - would someone resort to murder, to get what they want?

Här ser ni en bild på boken, hur den ser ut utan och med skyddsomslag. Jättefin!

If your life was based on a lie, would you risk it all to tell the truth?

At Montverre, an ancient and elite academy hidden high in the mountains, society's best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu--the great game--an arcane and mysterious competition that combines music, art, math, poetry, and philosophy. L o Martin once excelled at Monteverre, but lost his passion for scholarly pursuits after a violent tragedy. He turned to politics instead, and became a rising star in the ruling party, until a small act of conscience cost him his career. Now, he has been exiled back to Monteverre, his fate uncertain.

But this rarified world of learning he once loved is not the same place L o remembers. Once the exclusive bastion of men, Montverre is now run by a woman: Claire Dryden, also known as Magister Ludi, the head of the grand game. At first, L o feels an odd attraction to the Magister--a mysterious, eerily familiar connection--though he's sure they've never met before.

As the legendary Midsummer Game approaches--the climax of the academy's year--long-buried secrets rise to the surface and centuries-old traditions are shockingly overturned.

A highly imaginative and intricately crafted literary epic, The Betrayals confirms Bridget Collins as one of the most inventive and exquisite new voices in speculative fiction.
