Blood of Hercules - Éldekorált kiadás
KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Csak egy lány vagyok. És a véletlen úgy hozta, hogy egyben Herkules is.
Egy titánoktól hemzsegő világban próbálok életben maradni, ahol a spártaiak, a tizenkét királyi családból származó, istenekkel felérő hatalommal és szemérmetlenül nagy gazdagsággal rendelkező halhatatlanok uralkodnak mindenki felett. Félénk, dadogó nevelt gyermekként, akinek egy fillérje sincs, meghúzom magam, eltakarom a sebhelyeimet és kitűnően tanulok az iskolában. Legalábbis igyekszem. De aztán bekövetkezik.
A vérem elárulja, hogy az uralkodó elithez tartozom. Azok közé. Spártai vagyok.
Rákényszerítenek, hogy beiratkozzak a Spártai Katonai Akadémiára. Minden idők legkegyetlenebb próbáján kell átesnem, hogy megállapíthassák, megvan-e bennem minden, ami a halhatatlansághoz kell. Van azonban néhány bökkenő, Akhilleusz és Patro a rémisztő mentoraim, Kharón, a halál révésze és Augustus, a háború fia a félelemkeltő professzoraim. És meg mernék esküdni, hogy valaki még a nyomomban van, bárhova is megyek, vagy lehet, hogy csak cserbenhagy a józan eszem. Az a rossz érzés gyötör, hogy mindkettő igaz.
Cselszövők vesznek körül, és megfojtanak a gyűlöletükkel, a rögeszméjükkel és a sötét birtoklási vágyukkal. De sajnálhatják, mert nem tudják, kivel kezdtek ki.

TEMESD EL A TITKODAT, VAGY HALJ MEG ÉRTE!
A tizenhét éves Quell egész életében csak menekült. Ő és az édesanyja városról városra költöznek, hogy eltitkolhassák a halálos mágiát, amely a lány ereiben folyik. Egészen addig, amíg valaki rá nem jön Quell sötét titkára. Hogy elrejtőzzön az őt üldöző bérgyilkos elől, és az édesanyját is megóvja a veszélytől, Quell végül belép a mágikus társadalmi elit társaságába, a Rendbe. Ha sikerül végigcsinálnia a tagsághoz szükséges három rítust, és elsajátítania a mágia megfelelő válfaját, akkor örökre eltemetheti tiltott mágiáját.
Ha viszont elkapják, végeznek vele.
A Rend tagjává válni azonban sokkal nehezebb, mint Quell elképzelte, különösen, hogy egyre közelebb kerül Jordanhez, a mentorához, aki ráadásul kiképzés alatt álló bérgyilkos is, és őrá vadászik. Quell végül választásra kényszerül: felvállalja a sötét mágiát, amely elől egész életében menekült, vagy megkockáztatja, hogy elveszíthet mindent és mindenkit, akit csak szeret. És a legfélelmetesebb szörnyeteg, amellyel valaha szembe kell néznie, talán benne lakozik.

KÜLÖNLEGES, ÉLDEKORÁLT KIADÁS
Jack Tamerlaine tíz hosszú éve nem tette be a lábát Cadence-re, megelégedve azzal, hogy a szárazföldi egyetemen tanul zenét. Amikor azonban fiatal lányok kezdenek eltűnni a szigetről, Jacket hazahívják, hogy segítsen megtalálni őket. Cadence-en komoly varázslatok uralkodnak: a pletykákat a szél hordozza, a kockás kendők olyan erősek lehetnek, mint a páncél, és a legkisebb késszúrás is mérhetetlen félelmet kelthet. A szeszélyes szellemek, akik a tűz, a víz, a föld és a szél által uralják a szigetet, vidámságot találnak az emberek életében, akik a földet otthonuknak hívják. Adaira, Kelet örökösnője és Jack gyermekkori ellensége tudja, hogy a szellemek csak a bárdok zenéjére válaszolnak, és reméli, hogy Jack dalával előcsalogathatja őket, hogy visszacsábítsa az eltűnt lányokat.
Ahogy Jack és Adaira vonakodva együttműködnek, rájönnek, hogy jobb szövetségesek, mint riválisok, miközben a partnerségükből valami több lesz. Ám minden egyes dallal nyilvánvalóvá válik, hogy a szellemekkel kapcsolatos baj sokkal sötétebb, mint azt először gondolták, és egy régebbi, sokkal mélyebb titok lappang Cadence-ről a felszín alatt, azzal fenyegetve őket, hogy mindannyiukat tönkreteszi.
The Palace of Eros
Theirs was a love that defied the gods…
Beautiful, headstrong Psyche has captured the eye of every suitor - but also the jealous gaze of Aphrodite. When she is tied to a rock to be sacrificed to a 'monstrous husband', no monster arrives: instead, she is spirited away by Aphrodite's daughter Eros.
Eros, goddess of desire, can change gender at will. In her hidden palace, she visits Psyche under a cloak of darkness, unable to reveal her face. As they discover new pleasures together, Psyche is tempted to break her vow not to look...
Gloriously anarchic and seductive, Caro De Robertis' gender-fluid retelling of this classic myth is a masterpiece.

Where she discovers that the man she helped is actually a god: Zephyrus, the West Wind, Bringer of Spring.
