The streets have been my home for as long as I can remember. To get by, I use my magic tricks, bringing smiles to the faces of adults and children alike. As a warlock, my powers are limited. Nothing like a witch's magical skills. Basically, I'm a glorified magician as well as a second-class citizen. Fine. It doesn't get me down. I have my cat Fizz and Kylie Minogue's music to keep me going as I dream big. I know there's a better life out there for me.

"You will go to Rathe University, live among the giftless and those of light magic. You, Knight Deveraux, will learn to coexist." I've never heard more wasted words in my life. Then again, the gifted counsel never did have much to say that wasn't. The only members amongst them who speak a thing worth listening to are my parents, the king and queen of the Stygians, the people of Dark magic. Unfortunately for me and my brothers, they've chosen to play nice instead of sinking their talons into anyone who dares demand a thing from their heirs. In this instance at least.

Quando, per varie circostanze, si ritrova lontana dalla sua amata casa in Toscana e dai suoi affetti, bloccata in una grande città a causa di una pandemia che sigilla tutti tra le quattro mura, e solitudine e incertezza cominciano ad invadere le giornate, è di nuovo un gatto a venire in suo aiuto. È grazie a lui che Eva incrocia le storie ingarbugliate, tenere, romantiche di vite sospese come la sua, che le fanno riscoprire la gioia di un dimenticato senso di condivisione.

On my first day in the town, I get caught up in a strange murder case, and Death saves my life. Yes, the Death. The delectable, mysterious Death. Goodness, he is hotness personified. But what happened to make him walk away from his responsibilities? And why is he so deliciously tempting, my desire a raging inferno every time he looks at me with those incredible eyes? I shouldn't be thinking of an immortal being like this, but with every passing hour I can't stop myself from falling deeper into infatuation.

I have to believe in hope. I have to believe in my love for Death, for a future beyond this pain and drama. But why does hope feel like such a foolish dream at this point?

My life has really taken a complicated turn here in Oakthorne. I keep hoping some fairy godmother will show up and offer to turn back time for me. Not too much, just enough to ease this pain. Yeah. Right. As much as there's hurt, there's also Death. He is a complication, and a beautiful one I can't resist when I really, really should. He consumes my every waking moment, submerges me in raging desire I never want to break free from.

I thought trying to survive in a zombie-infested world was dramatic enough. However, after the darker turn everything has taken recently, that all seems like a walk in the park now. And don't even mention the plethora of mind-blowing revelations! All I want is to be with Miko, my yummy alpha werewolf mate. But too many hurdles keep getting in our way. Danger is closing in around us. Earth's apocalyptic fall was only the beginning. Dawn isn't done. Not by a long shot.

Things have really turned sour. I'd been looking for answers, but then along came the biggest plot twist of my life, with me as the star. Core-shaking stuff, details I would've been happy to never know. Sometimes, it's good to be left in the dark. Damn. My relationship with the mega-yummy billionaire vampire Tae Frost is now on the line. One moment, things were heating up between us, the next… WHAM! Rug pulled out from under. Hard. I only have myself to blame.

After finally finding some company and shelter—along with a hot werewolf alpha—in this zombie-filled world, things have taken another dramatic turn. Rug officially yanked from underfoot. Ugh. What now? How do I carry on with these new revelations? I can't possibly march toward heartbreak. I can't let everything I've found unravel because of some weird prophecy. There has to be a better way of changing the world. There has to be a better everything. I'm determined to find it. For the future. For love.

There's so much danger out there. Coming for me, coming for the world. Demons and darkness and craziness everywhere. Plus, the mysteries keep on piling up. So many of them! Not good for my already overloaded mind. Ah, well. It'll get sorted. It's all about the determination, right? And I've got heaps of it. I'm still trying to navigate my new and powerful Arcana magic, as well as my attraction to Tae—hot billionaire vampire and demon hunter. My employer. My protector. The source of all my fantasies. Things are really heating up between us…

There's no rest for the, erm… Well, for me. Or for Tae Frost. The world is spinning into chaos, calling out for a hero. Can I rise to the challenge, or am I doomed to linger in this darkness? I have to hold on to hope. I have to be strong. For Tae. For Fizz. For the whole of my heart.

After one of our many enemies makes a life-shattering move against us, Tae and I are running for our lives again. The witches are hot on our heels, adding to our myriad of problems. And the drama keeps on piling up. If it wasn't for Tae Frost, billionaire vampire and my number one obsession, I couldn't handle any of this. I'd have fallen apart ages ago, handing myself over to the shadows. And there are so many shadows, so many players in this damn game. The lines are blurring, trust is a rare commodity nowadays.

Ambientado en las desoladas regiones del Ártico, el texto presenta la figura de un anciano enigmático —el "matusalén"— que encarna la memoria de un mundo antiguo y olvidado. A través de una atmósfera gélida y melancólica, Blavatsky explora temas como el paso del tiempo, la soledad del conocimiento, la decadencia de las civilizaciones y la permanencia del espíritu frente a la materia. El hielo y el silencio del paisaje polar funcionan como metáforas de la eternidad y del olvido, convirtiendo el relato en una meditación sobre la condición humana y los ciclos de la existencia.

He trazado un círculo, hecho con sangre. Un círculo que delimita Salvación de principio a fin. Nadie puede salir de aquí, y el que lo intente, morirá. Vais a pagar... un sacrificio cada doce meses. Uno por año, como ofrenda por mi sufrimiento.

The King of Darkness is dead. It’s time for a new one to rise.... London Crow isn’t who I thought she was. She’s worse. My hate for her knows no bounds. My need for her has no end. But it’s my inability to have her that might just end us all, as the fates refuse to be ignored. Now, there’s a darkness sweeping the streets of Rathe, threatening to destroy the Kingdom we know and love, and it’s all because of her. The mate I can’t have. The bond I can’t let go.
