Reseña del libro "When Gargoyles Wake (en Inglés)"
A dark, adult retelling of The Hunchback of Notre Dame where the monster in the cathedral is real, the girl who finds him is slowly losing her memories, and falling in love may cost them both everything.For three hundred years, Quasimodo has belonged to Notre-Dame.Taken as a young man and transformed into a winged Guardian of stone and flesh, he is bound to the cathedral by ancient magic. He cannot leave. He cannot refuse an order. And the curse spreading across his body is slowly turning what remains of him to stone.Then Esmeralda claims sanctuary.She has spent her life seeing fragments of the future-and paying for every vision with a memory she can never recover. When a dying courier leaves a mysterious relic in her bloodstained hands, she runs to Notre-Dame and discovers something waiting in its shadows: a frightening, impossible man who knows her name before she has ever spoken it.Quasimodo has been ordered to keep her inside the cathedral.Instead, he begins to protect her.As Esmeralda searches for the truth behind the magic beneath Notre-Dame, she uncovers a centuries-old treaty, a vanished bloodline, and a terrible secret about the Guardians themselves. Someone has been rewriting history for hundreds of years-and Quasimodo may not be the monster the world believes him to be.But the closer Esmeralda comes to setting him free, the more dangerous the price becomes.Because she may be the only person who can break his chains.And doing so may take every memory she has left-including him.Atmospheric, romantic, and deeply gothic, When Gargoyles Wake is an adult fairy-tale fantasy featuring a slow-burn monster romance, forced proximity, ancient magic, morally complicated characters, hidden histories, found family, and a love story built on one question: what does it mean to choose a life when everyone else has already decided what you are for?Book One of The Seven Guardians.
