[Spanish] - Yo, Odiseo, Parte 1: destructor de mundos

"En esta epopeya de palabras ardientes y memoria viva, Odiseo no solo viaja por mares o lucha contra monstruos, sino que viaja a las grietas de su alma. Este no es el héroe que simplemente regresa a Ítaca: es el hombre que desafía a los dioses, que duda del destino, que ama y duele, que se recuerda y se consume a sí mismo. Entre cantos y silencios, el poema atraviesa la gloria y el vacío, la guerra y el hogar, la pasión y la culpa, la sed de conocimiento y el imposible deseo de redención. Yo, Odiseo, Destructor de Mundos reimagina al famoso protagonista homérico como un ser múltiple, dividido y profundamente humano. Aquí se enfrenta a Penélope, Telémaco, Atenea, su madre en el Hades, pero también a los espejos de sus decisiones. A cada paso, Odiseo canta, sueña, dialoga, envejece... Y nos pregunta si el verdadero retorno no es al puerto, sino a él mismo. Un poema épico moderno, lírico y poderoso que navega entre los mitos antiguos y las heridas del presente. Porque destruir un mundo real o metafóricamente, tal vez, es solo el primer acto de aquellos que intentan fundar otro."

The Siren, the Song, and the Spy

"In this second vibrant fantasy from Maggie Tokuda-Hall, companion to her best-selling debut, The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea, a diverse resistance force fights to topple an empire in a story about freedom, identity, and decolonization. By sinking a fleet of Imperial Warships, the Pirate Supreme and their resistance fighters have struck a massive blow against the Emperor. Now allies from across the empire are readying themselves, hoping against hope to bring about the end of the conquerors’ rule and the rebirth of the Sea. But trust and truth are hard to come by in this complex world of mermaids, spies, warriors, and aristocrats. Who will Genevieve—lavishly dressed but washed up, half-dead, on the Wariuta island shore—turn out to be? Is warrior Koa’s kindness toward her admirable, or is his sister Kaia’s sharp suspicion wiser? And back in the capital, will pirate-spy Alfie really betray the Imperials who have shown him affection, especially when a duplicitous senator reveals xe would like nothing better? Meanwhile, the Sea is losing more and more of herself as her daughters continue to be brutally hunted, and the Empire continues to expand through profits made from their blood. The threads of time, a web of schemes, shifting loyalties, and blossoming identities converge in Maggie Tokuda-Hall’s remarkable companion to The Mermaid, the Witch, and the Sea, as unlikely young allies work to forge a new and better world."

The Invisible Wild

"An epic adventure steeped in Hawaiian lore, this enchanting novel explores the connection between our world and that of the spirits of the wood, from bestselling author Nikki Van De Car. According to legend, when the kanaka 'ōiwi sailed over two thousand miles across untraveled seas to the most remote island chain in the world, they encountered another people living there. They were two to three feet tall, squat and strong, good and kind, and bothered no one without cause-they were the Menehune. When the Hawaiians came, the menehune chieftains feared the changes they brought. So, on the night of a full moon, they called all men and their firstborn sons and ordered them to leave Hawai'i. Some refused and, instead, hid behind to remain with their families. In the early 1800s, Kauai chief Kaumaualiʻi took a census of his people-and 65 of his 2,000 subjects were all that remained of the original people of Hawai'i.    Flash forward to today: sixteen-year-old Emma is out running errands when she comes across a boy from Hilo living in the woods, saying things that do not make sense. It's here, in these woods, that Emma has memories of finding a space between "the worlds" as a child. She soon realizes this boy has accessed the place she lost, as well as the people, the Menehune. She helps him hide until whatever spell has been cast over him is broken. Together, Emma and the Hilo boy have to figure out what the Menehune want before it's too late to save the only home any of them have known.  "
