About this deal

Imperious attempted to bite off the knight’s hand. When that failed, he snatched the leather cylinder away from him. A Knight of the March of Someil, Estevar reasoned, which explained both the accent and commanding tone. How strange that only moments before, he’d been ready to abandon this place and ignore Abbot Venia’s plea for him to arbitrate the dispute between his contentious monks. Now that this same dispute had exploded into something far more unsettling, Estevar found himself unable to walk away. Creo también que para ser un libro de vampiros toma la imagen de los vampiros que más me gusta ver. La edad y el estilo de vida realmente les afecta ja ja. 😅

Tiene escenas CRUENTAS pero eso es lo que más he disfrutado, cómo me ha calado, he sufrido lo mismo que la protagonista, sus pesares, angustias y tristezas. Y además esta protagonista es estupenda os lo prometo, qué buena evolución. La vemos desenvolverse en un mundo que no es el suyo como lo haríamos todos: MAL, pero mejora!! Y vaya si mejora... o eso o la muerte! Binding of ACOSAS can be done only for personal use. If you like, I have the typeset and some covers on my Google Drive. Just message me for them. Way Of The Argosi Ferius Parfax will become whatever it takes to outwit the mages who destroyed her people. Cease, you avaricious beast,’ Estevar growled, yanking the crushed tube from between the mule’s teeth. ‘Save your appetite for the abbey, where we shall shortly be feasted as befits visiting dignitaries.’Seven days?’ Estevar had to suppress a groan when the young man’s exuberant squeezing aggravated his wound. He shoved the fellow away, not quite as gently as he’d intended. ‘You expect me to believe you’ve been out in this storm for an entire week?’ The original purpose of the organization was to make sure that Prince Dain successfully became High King. If this mission was successful, they would then do everything they could to make sure he stayed on the throne. Estevar cursed himself for failing to notice the smaller piece of parchment tight against the inside of the case. He had to dig it out with his fingernail before unfolding what turned out to be an elaborate sketch of a naked man such as one might find in a medical text. What made it unusual were the strange markings covering the body: esoteric sigils in designs unrecognisable to Estevar despite his years of research into the esoteric traditions of Tristia. During the quest Returning the Dark Seal The Hero of Bowerstone ventures into the Shadow Court to "return" the Dark Seal. He/She meets the Shadow Judges in a gigantic well made of tombs. As it seems Reaver has to continue sacrificing other people to remain young himself. Reaver intended that the Hero of Bowerstone's youth would be given to the shadows. A girl, Elizabeth, has accidentally teleported herself to the Shadow Court. The Hero of Bowerstone can choose to either sacrifice his/her own or Elizabeth's youth. However the central Judge mentions that Reaver cannot always sacrifice people and that one day, when the sacrifices stop, they will come for him. Sobre Jeanne, fue uno de los personajes más vacíos y marionetas que he leído en el último tiempo. Carece por completo de una personalidad, solo es su deseo de venganza. Dice estar decidida a morir con tal de cumplir su venganza y no confía en nadie, pero se hace de una amiga de inmediato, incluso se enamora de la única persona que la trata bien. Es un cliché andante que hace lo que tiene que hacer según la circunstancia o contexto para hacerla quedar como una protagonista interesante, aunque sea matar, pero cada vez que lo hace lanza gritos tipo: ¡la libertad o la muerte! ¡Eso es por mi familia! y cosas así que mataron por completo el mood.

Court of Shadows (Shadow Fae Book 1) Kindle Edition

La medesima coerenza manca anche per i mortali. Se la Stilla del Re vampiro è così miracolosa e taumaturgica, perché in tre secoli non allevare mandrie umane in salute e senza più debolezze genetiche o malattie? Oppure, al contrario, se da ben tre secoli i poveri servi sono stati salassati allo stremo, come si fa a credere che ci siano ancora umani vivi in giro e facciano pure figli? We don’t get paid extra for making them shit their pants, you know,’ I reminded him, my fingers tracing misfortune sigils in the air so that the volleys of arrows the enemy fired at us missed their targets. ‘Our job is to convince them to surrender, not commit suicide.’ Ich bin absolut begeistert von der Geschichte und freu mich schon unheimlich auf Band 2 "Der Hof der Wunder" welcher in Paris spielt und bereits am 23.08.23 erscheint.Neither you nor your god are helping any,' I muttered, struggling to hold his head in position with one hand while lining up the needle with the other. It also wasn't helping that the desert sun was blazing down through the prayer room's domed glass ceiling and reflecting off all the gold that covered just about every inch of furniture around us. Religious zealotry is an expensive pastime in these parts.

Court of Shadows (Vampyria Saga, book 1) by Victor Dixen The Court of Shadows (Vampyria Saga, book 1) by Victor Dixen

It’s a strange thing to watch the rise and fall of your wife’s belly as she sits by the fire. With each sleepy breath – hers, not mine – the gentle slope beneath the pale blue cotton shift swells as if any moment now the baby’s going to leap out of her, expecting me to catch it. The Court of Shadows is a secret organization formed by Prince Dain. Its headquarters is hidden within secret passageways and rooms in the Palace of Elfhame.I can’t decide whether my own breathing comes easier when Ethalia is inhaling or exhaling. I know she’s aware of me, of both my anticipation and my doubts. She’s always known what I was feeling, even before she became a Saint. The storm is not so deafening that you failed to hear me the first time,’ he replied, widening his stance and raising the blade of his rapier. ‘Now, stop where you are. Inclement weather and poor soil make for arduous grave-digging, and I have more pressing business at the abbey.’ One of the enemy wonderists, a silver-­haired woman already dripping with nervous sweat, took the lead. Blood seeped from her eyes as she cast a sorcerous incantation we in the business call a ‘heartchain’, because it pierces right through defensive spells to burst the enemy’s blood vessels. It’s not the sort of thing any of us would use because it’s a conjoined sympathy spell, which means a heartchain also kills the person casting it. I marvelled at the old codger’s redoubtable courage and sacrifice as the thread-­like silver tether stretched across the two hundred yards between them to bind her heart to Corrigan’s. When Corrigan got a look at the silk-­robed, grey-­bearded scarecrows standing up there, he was pissing himself laughing so hard his tendril spell almost collapsed.

Court of Shadows: A Dystopian Reverse Harem Fantasy Court of Shadows: A Dystopian Reverse Harem Fantasy

Seductive, thrilling, and deliciously dark, The Court of Shadows brings the glamour and danger of eighteenth-century Versailles to life. This is historical fantasy at its finest!” ―Kass Morgan, bestselling author of The 100 Heed my liege’s warning, Eminence, I beg you,’ Sir Daven said, no doubt sensing Estevar’s wavering intentions. Estevar tugged at the lapels of his dark leather greatcoat to straighten it, as well as to make sure some of the smaller weapons secreted within were in easy reach. If the girl was this frightened over what appeared to be little more than two men having it out with one another, perhaps she knew something he did not.A duella damnatio is sometimes called a ‘gambler’s duel’ because every cut the defendant scores against the prosecuting duellist strikes a year from his sentence. Every wound he suffers, however, extends his prison term by a year, and like all gamblers playing at the wrong table, Our Lord of the Battering Blow doesn’t know when to fold on a bad hand. Hace casi 300 años que el rey de Francia se convirtió en vampiro, cambiando así la historia de la humanidad. Ahora los plebeyos deben dar sangre todos los meses a los vampiros para alimentarlos. Jeanne una joven plebeya, ve como toda su familia es asesinada, buscando venganza asume una identidad falsa con el fin de ser admitida en la prestigiosa Escuela de la Gran Caballeriza en Versalles, desde allí empezará a trabajar en su venganza. Lo que más destaco del libro es la ambientación, me gustaron mucho las descripciones de los escenarios y la sensación que generaba cada lugar. Melisende was an older woman, grey hair thinning somewhat beneath the gold circlet crowning her angular face. The bright claret, almost pink gown she wore tried too hard to accentuate her bosom, suggesting she was struggling to hold the Viscount’s continued interest. Age was crueller to mistresses than to wives, Estevan had observed more than once. The Court of Shadows has intriguing world-building and a protagonist with true, merciless grit. You’re rooted in the familiar, yet there are enough twists to break your expectations. Jeanne is vicious in her determination, and the king is utterly fascinating. I NEED TO SEE HIM WITHOUT THAT MASK!” —Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper Magician
