Ciao a tutti!
Ho deciso di cambiare un po' la rubrica perché trovare le diverse cover di un libro mi sembrava un po' monotono e quindi adesso vi farò vedere quattro cover che hanno attirato la mia attenzione per un motivo o per un altro.
Iniziamo!!!
Bellezza Selvaggia
Trama
Se si innamorano il loro amore svanirà.
Un magico giardino è custodito da generazioni di donne che si tramandano una terribile maledizione.
Per quasi due secoli le Nomeolvides sono state legate al giardino di La Pradera, la splendida tenuta che incanta i visitatori di tutto il mondo, giunti appositamente per ammirare le sue piante rigogliose. La bellezza del giardino, infatti, dipende direttamente dai poteri delle donne che lo custodiscono e che sono in grado di far sbocciare i fiori più belli al loro tocco. Ma il loro legame con la terra è connesso a una maledizione: se si innamorano, i loro amanti svaniscono nel nulla. Dopo generazioni di misteriose scomparse, all’improvviso nel giardino viene ritrovato uno strano ragazzo. È Estrella, una delle più giovani, a prendersi cura di lui, mentre le Nomeolvides si interrogano sul misterioso nuovo arrivato, che ricorda a malapena il proprio nome: Fel. La ricerca della verità nel passato di La Pradera e di Fel porterà Estrella a scoprire segreti tanto magici quanto pericolosi, che affondano le radici in eventi accaduti secoli prima.

Air Awakens
Trama
A library apprentice, a sorcerer prince, and an unbreakable magic bond...
The Solaris Empire is one conquest away from uniting the continent, and the rare elemental magic sleeping in seventeen-year-old library apprentice Vhalla Yarl could shift the tides of war.
Vhalla has always been taught to fear the Tower of Sorcerers, a mysterious magic society, and has been happy in her quiet world of books. But after she unknowingly saves the life of one of the most powerful sorcerers of them all—the Crown Prince Aldrik—she finds herself enticed into his world. Now she must decide her future: Embrace her sorcery and leave the life she’s known, or eradicate her magic and remain as she’s always been. And with powerful forces lurking in the shadows, Vhalla’s indecision could cost her more than she ever imagined.

The Alchemy of Forever
Trama
In the first novel of the Incarnation series, the immortal Serephina grapples with a wrenching truth: Falling in love might mean succumbing to death.People say “love never dies”…but love might be the death of Seraphina.
Seraphina has been alive since the Middle Ages, when her boyfriend, Cyrus, managed to perfect a method of alchemy that lets them swap bodies with any human being. Sera ran away from Cyrus years ago, when she realized that what they were doing—taking the lives of innocent people—was wrong. Yet she doesn’t want to die, so she finds young people who are on the brink of death, and inhabits their bodies.
Sera has just landed in the body of a girl named Kailey who was about to die in a car accident. For the first time, Sera falls in love with the life of the person she’s inhabiting. Sera also falls for the boy next door, Noah. And soon it’s clear the feelings are returned. But she can never kiss Noah, because for her to touch lips with a human would mean the human’s death. And she has even more to worry about: Cyrus is chasing her. If she stays in one place for long, she puts herself—and the people she’s grown to care for—in great danger. Will Sera have to give up the one thing that’s eluded her for centuries: true love?

The Architect of Song
Trama
For most of her life, nineteen-year-old Juliet Emerline has subsisted – isolated by deafness – making hats in the solitude of her home. Now, she’s at risk to lose her sanctuary to Lord Nicolas Thornton, a twenty-seven-year-old mysterious and eccentric architect with designs on her humble estate. When she secretly witnesses him raging beside a grave, Juliet investigates, finding the name “Hawk” on the headstone and an unusual flower at the base. The moment Juliet touches the petals, a young English nobleman appears in ghostly form, singing a song only her deaf ears can hear. The ghost remembers nothing of his identity or death, other than the one name that haunts his afterlife: Thornton.
To avenge her ghostly companion and save her estate, Juliet pushes aside her fear of society and travels to Lord Thornton’s secluded holiday resort, posing as a hat maker in one of his boutiques. There, she finds herself questioning who to trust: the architect of flesh and bones who can relate to her through romantic gestures, heartfelt notes, and sensual touches … or the specter who serenades her with beautiful songs and ardent words, touching her mind and soul like no other man ever can. As sinister truths behind Lord Thornton’s interest in her estate and his tie to Hawk come to light, Juliet is lured into a web of secrets. But it’s too late for escape, and the tragic love taking seed in her heart will alter her silent world forever.
