Se ha anunciado la publicación el 7 de mayo del año que viene de Middlegame, una nueva novela de Seanan McGuire. La portada es diseño de Will Staehle.
Esta es la sinopsis:
America is run in the shadows by the Alchemical Congress, a powerful society focused on transmuting reality itself.
Meet Roger. Skilled with words, languages come easily to him. He instinctively understands how the world works through the power of story.
Meet Dodger, his twin. Numbers are her world, her obsession, her everything. All she understands, she does so through the power of math.
Roger and Dodger aren’t exactly human, though they don’t realise it. They aren’t exactly gods, either. Not entirely. Not yet.
Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.
Godhood is attainable. Pray it isn’t attained.
Mi traducción:
Estados Unidos es controlado desde las sombras por el Alchemical Congress, una poderosa sociedad enfocada en transmutar la propia realidad.
Conoce a Roger. Hábil con las palabras, los idiomas son muy fáciles para él. Comprende instintivamente como funciona el mundo a través del poder de las historias.
Conoce a Dodger, su melliza. Los números son su mundo, su obsesión, lo son todo para ella. Todo lo que comprende lo hace a través del poder de las matemáticas.
Roger y Dodger no son exactamente humanos, aunque no se dan cuenta. No son tampoco dioses. No por completo. No todavía.
Meet Reed, skilled in the alchemical arts like his progenitor before him. Reed created Dodger and her brother. He’s not their father. Not quite. But he has a plan: to raise the twins to the highest power, to ascend with them and claim their authority as his own.
Conoce a Reed, hábil con las artes alquímicas como su padre antes que él. Reed creó a Dodger y a su hermano. No es su padre. No del todo. Pero tiene un plan: elevar a los mellizos a su máximo poder, para ascender con ellos y reclamar su autoridad como propia.
La divinidad es alcanzable. Reza para que no se consiga.
