Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Nella primavera 1944 Anna Banti ha quasi ultimato il suo racconto biografico dedicato all'artista seicentesca Artemisia Gentileschi, ma in agosto il manoscritto va distrutto nei bombardamenti tedeschi su Firenze.

Il mondo appartiene agli uomini. Artemisia Gentileschi (1593 - 1653) lo sa bene, l'ha imparato sulla sua pelle. Eppure riuscirà a diventare una pittrice immensa, colei che imbriglia la luce, l'unica donna che seppe guardare il mondo dell'arte come lo vedeva il Caravaggio, raccontando nelle sue opere (illuminate solo dalla luce delle candele) tutta la grazia e la forza delle donne.

The quest has reached the Otherworld. Now every monster must face what they truly are. Cedric, Angeline, Romasanta, and Nyctimus have crossed beyond the mortal realm into the Otherworld, a land of spirits, faeries, forgotten titans, and ancient magic ruled by the Halls of Gaea.

His demonic form is massive, wild, and nearly impossible to control.

When she first married at fourteen, Otrera imagined a relationship full of love. A partnership. Years later, living in destitution with her abusive husband, she knows that no such thing exists with a man. It is simply a woman's lot in life to accept the treatment of her husband. Until it's not.
