Aethel - The Cure That No One Sells

Synopsis

An unknown disease is consuming the lives of the inhabitants of Lontúrnia. Refusing to lose her parents, Morgana abandons her home and sets out in search of a cure, guided only by rumors of a mysterious alchemist who lives in the depths of the Trebor Forest. Alongside a young scholar named Apolo, the veteran hunter known as Lobo, and the tracker Kira, she will face beasts, forgotten ruins, and the dangers of a world too vast to be understood. But the greatest threat may not be in the forest. For the closer they get to the alchemist, the more questions arise. Who is the man who lives isolated among monsters? Why does his name appear in stories told for generations? And why do his eyes seem to carry the weight of centuries? As Morgana's hope dwindles with each passing day, she will discover that some answers have a higher price than she imagined.

Some doors, once opened, can never be closed again. Helena is in no hurry, nor is she afraid, and she does not let herself be swayed by pretty words. But every rose has its thorn. When two such different presences cross her path, she will discover that it is not possible to keep everything under control at all times. One calms, the other sets ablaze. One is shelter, the other is storm. For even the gentlest calm holds a flame, and within the storm itself there is already a harbinger of tranquility - each heart carries within itself both the flame and the breeze that can extinguish it. Be careful not to lose yourself. The labyrinth is yours, and only you will find the way out.

They say the desert does not forgive mistakes. Neither does Naskáh. Between salt, blood, and faith, an entire kingdom balances on the brink of war. Choked trade routes, fragile alliances, and a throne upheld by ancient lies - where water is sacred, and power is inherited through blood... or stolen by it. Miraat was not born for this game. Without lineage, without title, and without value in the eyes of the world, she is just another daughter of the desert trying to protect the little she has left: her own family. But when greater forces begin to move - inside and outside Naskáh - Mira is dragged into a conflict she was not made to understand... much less to win. While princes conspire, kingdoms threaten war, and ancient secrets resurface, one mistake can cost more than lives. It can cost the world itself. Because in Naskáh, power does not choose the worthy. It consumes the available. And sometimes... the most dangerous ones are exactly those no one saw coming.

The summer of 1989 promised to be just another one among so many. Six friends, about to leave school behind, decide to escape the routine and the bittersweet goodbyes with an improvised trip. The destination: an isolated cabin, lent by Adam's uncle, hidden deep in the Blackwood Hills forest. A perfect place to drink, laugh, and enjoy their youth, far from everything and everyone. The isolation seems like paradise. Noah's old van crosses the dirt road, the lake reflects the light of the setting sun, and the promise of peaceful days welcomes them. But the Blackwood forest is not just a silent backdrop. It is ancient, jealous, and has its own rules.

Cento e cinquenta anos após uma guerra nuclear, a humanidade sobrevive em seis Áreas isoladas. As cinco centrais são ditaduras hereditárias que pregam igualdade enquanto acumulam poder. A sexta, no Polo Sul, é o descarte de prisioneiros e o esconderijo de uma resistência que ninguém sabe que existe. Lyra Fenris foi criada nas profundezas do gelo para ser uma arma. Treinada desde criança para lutar e mentir, ela recebe a missão que esperou a vida inteira: infiltrar-se na Área 1 fingindo ser Novalie Asher, a herdeira desaparecida da Área 2. Seu objetivo é conquistar Malen Crow, o herdeiro cruel da Área 1, e tomar o poder por dentro. Mas a Área 1 não é o que ela esperava. Entre salões de mármore e bibliotecas, Lyra descobre um mundo de abundância construído sobre a miséria alheia. Descobre aliados onde deveria haver inimigos. Descobre um médico gentil que a vê como pessoa, uma princesa rebelde que se torna amiga, uma rainha que a trata como filha. E descobre Malen, o homem que deveria destruir, mas que enxerga através de todas as suas máscaras. Em um mundo onde herói e vilão são apenas posições, ela vai descobrir que a linha entre os dois é mais fina do que imaginava.
