      Là-dessus ils découvrirent trente ou quarante moulins à vent, et, dès que don Quichotte les vit, il dit à son écuyer : "La fortune conduit nos affaires mieux que nous n'eussions su désirer, car voilà, ami Sancho Pança, où se découvrent trente ou quelque peu plus de démesurés géants, avec lesquels je pense avoir combat et leur ôter la vie à tous. - Quels géants ? dit Sancho. - Ceux que tu vois là, répondit son maître, aux longs bras, et d'aucuns les ont quelquefois de deux lieues. - Regardez, monsieur, répondit Sancho, que ceux qui paraissent là ne sont pas des géants, mais des moulins à vent et ce qui semble des bras sont les ailes, lesquelles, tournées par le vent, font mouvoir la pierre du moulin. - Il paraît bien, répondit don Quichotte, que tu n'es pas fort versé en ce qui est des aventures : ce sont des géants, et, si tu as peur, ôte-toi de là et te mets en oraison, tandis que je vais entrer avec eux en une furieuse et inégale bataille." Et, disant cela, il donna des éperons à son cheval Rossinante. [Source : 4e de couv.]

    • Best-selling author Rick Riordan presents J.C. Cervantes'fiery and fast-paced sequel to The Storm Runner. Zane Obispo has an impossible choice to make: save other godborns like him from the angry gods, or rescue his father Hurakan from his eternal prison. Zane Obispo's new life on a beautiful secluded tropical island, complete with his family and closest friends, should be perfect. But he can't control his newfound fire skills yet (inherited from his father, the Maya god Hurakan); there's a painful rift between him and his dog ever since she became a hell hound; and he doesn't know what to do with his feelings for Brooks. One day he discovers that by writing the book about his misadventures with the Maya gods, he unintentionally put other godborn children at risk. Unless Zane can find the godborns before the gods do, they will be killed. To make matters worse, Zane learns that Hurakan is scheduled to be executed. Zane knows he must rescue him, no matter the cost. Can he accomplish both tasks without the gods detecting him, or will he end up a permanent resident of the underworld? In this cleverly plotted sequel to The Storm Runner, the gang is back together again with spirited new characters, sneaky gods, Aztec royalty, unlikely alliances, and secrets darker than Zane could ever have imagined. Secrets that will change him forever.

When an email about an alien sighting in Kansas may support her theory, Ren is soon embroiled in a quest to prevent some renegade godborns from awakening the nine Aztec Lords of Night

      A contemporary adventure based on Maya mythology from Rick Riordan Presents! Zane has always enjoyed exploring the dormant volcano near his home in New Mexico, even though hiking it is challenging. He'd much rather hang out there with his dog, Rosie, than go to middle school, where kids call him Sir Limps a Lot, McGimpster, or Uno--for his one good leg. What Zane doesn't know is that the volcano is a gateway to another world and he is at the center of a powerful prophecy. A new girl at school, Brooks, informs him that he's destined to release an evil god from the ancient Maya relic he is imprisoned in--unless she can find and remove it first. Together they return to the volcano, where all kinds of crazy happens. Brooks turns into a hawk, a demon attacks them in a cave, and Rosie gives her all while trying to protect Zane. When Zane decides to save his dog no matter the cost, he is thrust into an adventure full of surprising discoveries, dangerous secrets, and an all-out war between the gods, one of whom happens to be his father. To survive, Zane will have to become the Storm Runner. But how can he run when he can't even walk well without a cane?
