Masque of Honor


From the bestselling author of Veil of Doubt and The Grays of Truth comes a riveting tale of political intrigue, romance, and betrayal set in antebellum Virginia. John "Jack" Mason McCarty and his second cousin Armistead Mason are proud sons of the Virginia aristocracy-and as different as two men can be. Deeply ambitious and politically minded, Armistead has his sights on Congress and demands a level of respect he may not deserve. Jack, too, longs to make a name for himself, if he can stop gambling and drinking long enough to use his considerable wit to his advantage. Jack has little patience for Armistead's arrogance, while Armistead views Jack as a debaucherous adolescent unworthy of honor or respect-and neither is afraid to voice his opinion of the other. A poisonous animosity begins to fester between the two men, fueled by political schemes, illicit affairs, and scandalous reports in the press. Though the women who love them urge restraint, their bitter dispute nevertheless sets into motion a devastating chain of events that risks much more than their honor. The first book in the Fields of Honor series and based on the true events behind the 1819 MasonMcCarty duel, Masque of Honor is a story of valor, conviction, and the cost of sacrificing one life to forge another.

No Man's Land


The Great War was supposed to be the war to end all wars-and maybe it would have been, had an even greater, otherworldly foe not arisen to extinguish the conflict. Overnight, as guns blazed away in France and Flanders, village after village in the quiet British countryside were swallowed by the Forest. And within the Forest lurk the Huldu-an ancient fae race, monstrous in their inhumanity, who have decided that mankind''s ascendency over the world can endure no longer. Enter Duncan Silver. Scarred by the war, fueled by a rage deeper than the trenches in which he once fought, Duncan is determined to show the Huldu that the world is not theirs for the taking. Armed with a cut-down trench gun filled with iron shot and a deadly iron knife, Duncan will stop at nothing to return the children the Huldu have stolen from the arms of their families. No matter how many Huldu he may have to slaughter along the way. But when he is hired by a mother to return her four-year-old daughter, Miriam-taken by the Huldu six months past and replaced with a Changeling-all hell breaks loose. Miriam is a pawn in a much bigger game for dominance than Duncan ever expected, and several long-buried secrets from his past are about to be violently resurrected.

Fantasies of the Body


In this short, masterful gem of a novel, David Plante’s seasoned narrator contemplates the connection between physical beauty and love, drawing on literary references and personal experiences to explore these themes.The unnamed narrator of this brief, urgent novel, a young novelist making his way in the literary world, writes of his fascination with two enigmatic, troubled young men, one a Boston Brahmin and the other a lofty undergraduate at England’s Cambridge University whom the narrator meets during his writer-in-residency. With each young man the narrator engages in a complex relationship filled with intellectual and erotic tension and each relationship leaves him feeling unfulfilled. By contrast, the narrator relates the story of his deep and abiding romantic life with an English poet, who introduces him to the remaining members of The Bloomsbury group as well as E.M. Forster and who guides him toward the publishers who bring out his early work. However, the poet dies young, and the narrator is once against cast adrift and his quest to find new, intimate interactions with the tragic young men he encounters causes him to reflect on the nature of beauty, love, and the intellectual life, emphasizing the transient and often unfulfilled desires that drive human connections.

Ártatlanok - Éldekorált kiadás


EXKLUZÍV KIADÁS: GREEN EDITION (zöld kiadás) FÜLSZÖVEG Itt semmi sem az, aminek látszik, és senki sem az, akinek mondja magát! Rosabelle Carter új megbízást kap: felügyelőként kell beépülnie az ország egyik szigorúan őrzött börtönébe. Feladata, hogy elcsábítsa a tisztességes, ám tekintélyt parancsoló Caleb Norton főfelügyelőt többek között avégett, hogy az SF büntetés-végrehajtási intézmény falain belül gördülékenyebben bonyolíthassa apja piszkos üzleteit. Vajon sikerül elterelnie Caleb Norton főfelügyelő figyelmét arról, miszerint a börtön lassan nem más, mint a rabok játszótere? Vagy Rosabelle Carter lesz az, akit a becsület, a jóság és a tisztesség elgondolkodtat saját tettein? Egy idő után mindketten sejtik, hogy vonzalmuk egymás iránt végzetes lehet, mégis egyre nehezebben tudják elkülöníteni szerepüket a valóságtól. A börtön sötét folyosóin felvetődik a kérdés, vajon mindenki ártatlan-e azok közül, akik a zárkán kívül vannak, és bűnösök-e mind, akiket elítéltek? Itt nemcsak a fogvatartottak őriznek titkokat, de az őrök sem azok, akiknek látszanak, sőt, még a főfelügyelő is rejteget valamit. A valódi kérdés csak az, ki irányít kit, és túlélheti-e bárki ezt a veszélyes játékot, amit űznek? Léteznek egyáltalán ártatlanok, vagy mindenki bűnös valamiben? B. E. BELLE Az Év Könyve díjas szerző. Elítéltek című nagy sikerű regényét követően ismételten a büntetés-végrehajtási intézmények világába kalauzolja el az olvasót. Az Ártatlanok címet viselő regényben azonban egy olyan börtöné a főszerep, ahol javarészt még mindig a fogvatartottak uralkodnak. A szerző ezúttal is őszintén és hitelesen ragadott tollat egy olyan téma kapcsán, amely mélyen elgondolkodtatja az olvasót arról, mi igaz a világban, és mi nem, továbbá bemutatja, milyen fontos szerepet játszik jellemünk formálásában a környezetünk.
