Ambientada en un mundo moderno, elegante y tecnológico, Los lobos del invierno es la segunda novela de la magnífica saga «Crónicas del Lobo», de la autora de las «Crónicas Vampíricas» y «Las Brujas de Mayfair».
Nadie crea nuevos mundos, poblados de personajes terroríficos y románticos, como Anne Rice.
Corre el mes de diciembre y los fuegos de roble arden en los majestuosos hogares de Nideck Point. Para Reuben Golding, ahora imbuido del don del lobo, esta Navidad promete ser como ninguna otra...
De las sombras de la mansión surge un fantasma atormentado, implorante, incapaz de hablar pero no de abrazar y desear con cariño desesperado... Mientras Reuben se ve atrapado por las pasiones y anhelos de esta presencia espectral, se desvelan secretos asombrosos que hablan de un inframundo extraño, de espíritus centenarios que poseen sus propias historias antiguas y fantásticas y que hostigan con sus poderes oscuros...
Reseñas:
«En esta historia compleja y emotiva, Reuben continúa utilizando sus poderes de lobo hombre para ayudar a gente con problemas, aunque sin darse cuenta pone en peligro a un ser querido.»
Booklist
«Reuben y Felix son protagonistas simpáticos, y la mitología de la serie, que sugiere que las hadas podrían ser fantasmas humanos que han evolucionado, es fascinante.»
Publishers Weekly
«Los seguidores de Rice agradecerán su regreso a la esfera de los depredadores inmortales excéntricos.»
Kirkus
«Devoré estas páginas... Una historia tan sólida y fascinante como todo lo que ha escrito desde su pionera ficción de "Crónicas Vampíricas".»
