[Spanish] - El eco del destino (Time Keeper 1)

"LA SAGA DE FANTASÍA MÁS AMBICIOSA Y ADICTIVA DE LAS AUTORAS DE PÉTALOS DE PAPEL CADA VEZ QUE SE USA EL AMULETO DEL TIEMPO, EL RESTO DEL MUNDO SUFRE. Nathan Tabiz aprendió esa lección hace muchos años, igual que aprendió que el mundo más allá de las murallas del Sacro Reino de Daiva es peligroso y está lleno de demonios. Aprendió, también, que el poder del tiempo es codiciado y perseguido y que el deber de los celestiales es protegerlo. Por eso, cuando heredó el Amuleto, ya sabía que jamás debía usarlo. Lleva toda la vida jurando que no lo hará: lo juró cuando su madre lo dejó en sus manos, se lo ha jurado mil veces al dios al que sirve, se lo ha jurado otras mil a sus amigos. Sin embargo, nunca le ha dicho a nadie todas las veces que ha querido romper su palabra: Cuando su madre murió. Cuando le nombraron Portador. Cuando dio su primer beso. Sí, Nathan Tabiz sabe que no debe usar el Amuleto. Lo que no sabe es que la persona de la que se ha enamorado morirá en tres días. Críticas: «Iria y Selene son unas maestras de las palabras. Han creado una historia cálida y emotiva, pero, a la vez, llena de oscuridad y acción. Menudo viaje estáis a punto de comenzar». Belén Martínez, autora de El vals de la bruja. «Iria y Selene han hecho magia: una historia en la que se explora el amor más complicado, el peso del poder y el precio de desafiar al mismísimo destino». Paula Gallego, autora de La princesa de invierno. «Creo que el destino unió a Iria y a Selene para que escribieran esta historia, solo era cuestión de tiempo. Es una fantasía inolvidable e imposible de soltar. Los personajes se quedarán con tu corazón y lo harán pedazos, pero será maravilloso». Claudia Ramírez Lomelí, autora de El príncipe del sol."

With the help of her secret love and a hard-won mountain of gold, Ari sets out to open her school. But she soon discovers that her biggest obstacle was never money. It was fear.
