«Lui vive qui?» Queste le tre parole che hanno cambiato la mia vita e quella dei miei figli. Questo libro parla della storia vera di un uomo con una doppia vita. L'uomo di cui mi sono innamorata, nonché il mio fidanzato, si è rivelato un impostore. Quando l’ho scoperto è entrato in un vortice di follia. Voleva rendermi la vita impossibile.

Tras toda una vida cargando con el Amuleto, Nathan ha perdido el poder del tiempo. Ahora su mundo se desmorona pero, aunque ya es tarde para enmendar sus errores, aún puede hacer que merezcan la pena al recuperar a Adam.

No del Amuleto, tampoco de su demonio, sino de sí mismo.

Iris Murdoch once observed: 'philosophy is often a matter of finding occasions on which to say the obvious'. What was obvious to Murdoch, and to all those who read her work, is that Good transcends everything—even God. Throughout her distinguished and prolific writing career, she explored questions of Good and Bad, myth and morality. The framework for Murdoch's questions—and her own conclusions—can be found here.

I own her. Body, soul, and every defiant breath she takes. Allegra Marone was promised to me before she was born—her fate sealed in blood, her life nothing but collateral in a war she had no part in. But the Marones took from my family. And now, I'm taking her. She thinks she can survive me, that she can thaw the monster lurking beneath my suit and scars.
