There once was a village so far north that most considered it the top of the world... and in that village, the Sun fell in love with her Starmaker. From the New York Times bestselling author of The Nature of Witches comes a whimsical and sweeping romantic fantasy. Nestled deep in the snowy mountains of the Lost Range, the small village of Reverie endures on a miracle. Beyond the reach of the Sun, Reverie is dependent upon the magic of the mysterious Starmaker: every morning, he trudges across a vast glacier and pulls in sunlight over the peaks, providing the village with the light it needs to survive. Aurora Finch grew up on tales of the Starmaker’s magic, never imagining she’d one day meet him. But on the morning of her wedding, a fateful encounter in the frostbitten woods changes everything. The Starmaker senses a powerful magic within her and demands she come study under his guidance. With her newfound abilities tied to the survival of the village, Aurora is swept away to his ice-covered castle at the mountain’s peak. The Starmaker is as cold and distant as the dark woods, leaving Aurora to explore his enchanted castle with only an immortal rabbit for company. Yet the more she discovers about the sorcerer, the stronger their ruinous attraction grows, pulling her closer to the secrets he refuses to share. A deadly frost approaches, and Aurora must uncover what the Starmaker is hiding before she is left in an endless winter that even the Sun cannot touch.

Un viaje a través del espacio y el tiempo. Un día cualquiera un hombre despierta en un mundo totalmente nuevo, un lugar donde la tecnología no sólo rige la vida de las personas, sino también su plano espiritual. ¿Otro planeta, otra dimensión, acaso el diatópico futuro de la humanidad?, son sólo algunas de las interrogantes que trata de responderse el protagonista, anónimo testigo de un panorama tan aterrador como fascinante. ¿Quiénes son los Altísimos, los que gobiernan las máquinas o las máquinas mismas? Publicada originalmente en 1951 y actualizada el 59, Los Altísimos fue el primer libro de Hugo Correa y catapultó a este autor nacional en las filas más elevadas de la literatura fantástica mundial, comparándosele con Ray Bradbury e Isaac Asimov. Se trata, sin lugar a dudas, de la novela de ciencia ficción más importante escrita y publicada en Chile, un auténtico clásico del siglo XX.

Everyone expected Violet Sorrengail to die during her first year at Basgiath War College—Violet included. But Threshing was only the first impossible test meant to weed out the weak-willed, the unworthy, and the unlucky. Now the real training begins, and Violet’s wondering how she’ll get through it. It’s not just that it’s grueling and maliciously brutal, or even that it’s designed to stretch the riders’ capacity for pain beyond endurance. It’s the new vice commandant, who’s made it his personal mission to teach Violet exactly how powerless she is—unless she betrays the man she loves. Although Violet’s body is weaker and frailer than everyone else’s, she has her wits—and a will of iron. Leadership forgets the most important lesson Basgiath taught her: Dragon riders make their own rules. But determination to survive won’t be enough this year, because Violet knows the secret hidden for centuries at Basgiath War College—and nothing, not even dragon fire, may be enough to save them in the end.
