Saeris Fane doesn't want power. The very last thing she needs is her name whispered on an entire court's lips, but now that she's been crowned queen of the Blood Court, she's discovering that a queen's life is not her own. A heavy weight rests upon her shoulders. Her ward—and her brother—need her back in her homeland…but the changes that have strengthened Saeris have also made her weak. Born under blazing suns, Saeris will surely die if she makes her way home through the Quicksilver. Which means that, once again, she must send someone else in her stead....

Twenty-four-year-old Saeris Fane is good at keeping secrets. No one knows about the strange powers she possesses or the fact that she has been picking pockets and stealing from the Undying Queen's reservoirs for as long as she can remember. But a secret is like a knot. Sooner or later, it is bound to come undone. When Saeris comes face-to-face with Death himself, she inadvertently reopens a gateway between realms and is transported to a land of ice and snow. The Fae have always been the stuff of myth, of legend, of nightmares… but it turns out they're real.

Previously only available on Callie Hart's website, these scenes (written from Kingfisher's point of view rather than Saeris') are now brought to life in audio by popular demand.

Alba e Mario si incontrano per un caso del destino e i loro percorsi si intrecciano tra pericoli che incombono, segreti e un'indomabile passione reciproca.

Dante è il poeta che inventò l'Italia. Non ci ha dato soltanto una lingua; ci ha dato soprattutto un'idea di noi stessi e del nostro Paese: il "bel Paese" dove si dice "sì". Una terra unita dalla cultura e dalla bellezza, destinata a un ruolo universale: perché raccoglie l'eredità dell'Impero romano e del mondo classico; ed è la culla della cristianità e dell'umanesimo. L'Italia non nasce da una guerra o dalla diplomazia; nasce dai versi di Dante. Non solo.
