[Spanish] - El clan de los libreros magos

"En un Londres ligeramente alternativo en 1983, Susan Arkshaw está buscando a su padre, un hombre al que nunca ha conocido. El jefe del crimen, Frank Thringley, podría ayudarla, pero Susan no tiene tiempo para hacerle ninguna pregunta a Frank antes de que el pinchazo de un alfiler plateado le convierta en polvo ante la mirada del escandalosamente atractivo Merlín. Merlín es un joven librero zurdo (uno de los luchadores), que junto a los libreros diestros (los intelectuales), son una extensa familia de seres mágicos que vigilan el mítico y legendario Viejo Mundo en su colisión con el mundo moderno, además de encargarse de una cadena de varias librerías misteriosas. La búsqueda del padre de Susan comienza con los apellidos de su madre posiblemente mal recordados o mal escritos, un boleto de la sala de lectura y una pitillera de plata grabada con algo que podría ser un escudo de armas. Merlín tiene una misión propia, encontrar la entidad del Viejo Mundo que usó criminales comunes para matar a su madre. Mientras él y su hermana, la librera diestra Vivien, se interponen en el camino de una investigación policial fallida o encubierta de años pasados, encuentran que esta búsqueda se superpone extrañamente con la de Susan. ¿Quién o qué era su padre? Susan, Merlín y Vivien deben averiguarlo, ya que el Viejo Mundo irrumpe peligrosamente en el Nuevo. - Garth Nix es autor best seller del The New York Times y escritor a tiempo completo desde el 2001.

Her only friends an old governess and an even older groom who was once a famous circus performer. Her mother is a tyrant, who is feared by all despite her sickness and impending death . . . but perhaps there is even more to fear from that.

In a single day of fire and death and loss, Elinor finds herself set on a path which will take her into the Old Kingdom, into Terciel's life, and will embroil her in the struggle of the Abhorsens against the Dead who will not stay dead."
