No one survived the last battle unscathed. Flint is angry at the world, Jaxon is turning into something I don’t recognize, and Hudson has put up a wall I’m not sure I’ll ever break through. Now war is coming, and we’re not ready. We’re going to need an army to have any hope of winning. But first, there are questions about my ancestors that need answers. Answers that might just reveal who the real monster is among us.

Ray si sveglia in una cella. È solo. Non si ricorda nulla. Né come ci è arrivato, né perché. Indossa una divisa che non conosce, gialla come la luce che illumina la piccola stanza in cui è rinchiuso. Porta al polso destro un braccialetto senza fibbia simile a un display spento. Dove si trova? Non lo sa. I ricordi arriveranno poi, poco per volta.

Until an oracle predicted my regal future, I'd never imagined myself rising above the curve of my round ears. After all, I was the magicless halfling loved by beasts but loathed by every pure-blooded faerie at court. Well . . . by all but one. Dante Regio, prince of Luce, had owned my heart since he gave me my first kiss. If gathering a slew of iron relics could help me overthrow the current monarch and crown his brother to rule at my side, then treasure hunting I'd go. If only the oracle had warned me what winged demon I was releasing into the world.

I never wanted to disappear more than while around my family. Briar Lane, the girl only useful for one thing: my surname. A business handshake and pawn to be traded. My father's chess piece shuffled between empires. That was my life back in L.A., but all it took was finding the dirty secret stuffed in a jacket pocket, and my entire world unraveled.

Mercer Bentley Palmerston is an outcast—the pariah of his family—so what better source to get dirt on the Palmerstons than their black sheep? Intrigued by his lingerie, Blake sees an opportunity to get closer to Mercer, but he has no idea how much trouble he's invited into his life by taking him in. Mercer might be a brat, but Blake has no interest in taming him. He's a sly demon with ever-changing rules, a larger-than-life personality, and covers his weaknesses with sharp wit. There's more to Mercer than his outright refusal to behave, and Blake is the only one who realizes why.

Un tempo, a Venezia, tutti i gondolieri cantavano, ed erano i più meravigliosi cantanti del mondo. Ma sono in pochi, ormai, a ricordare quei tempi gloriosi. Nessuno si spiegava perché all'improvviso tutti i gondolieri avessero smesso di cantare. Un bel giorno William Goldman sbarcò a Venezia, ebbe un'illuminazione e andò sino in fondo al mistero. Scoprì così la nobile e triste storia di Luigi, il gondoliere con il sorriso da tontolone. La sua impareggiabile maestria, le sue disavventure e il suo riscatto finale.

Everything feels off—especially me. I’ve returned to Katmere Academy, but I’m haunted by fragments of days I have no recollection of living and struggling to understand who, or what, I really am.

But far worse enemies are at our doorstep.

El Imperio Otomano se alió con Alemania y Austria-Hungría en la Primera Guerra Mundial. Esto resultó, entre otras consecuencias catastróficas, en la guerra que duró dos años más de lo que debería, las dos revoluciones rusas de 1917 y la dictadura bolchevique, el genocidio del pueblo armenio, quince millones de muertos y el desmembramiento del Imperio Otomano, con el nacimiento de una miríada de nuevos Estados en Oriente Medio cuya inestabilidad social, económica y política sigue sin resolverse un siglo después.

Luisa, impiegata modello in una fabbrica di giocattoli, è una sessantenne energica e dolce, stimata nella sua professione. Senza figli, conduce la propria esistenza in una solitudine placida, abitudinaria, popolata dai ricordi. Ma la scoperta di un neo che si sta paurosamente ingrossando è il segnale che qualcosa è cambiato. Luisa inizia ad avvertire oscure presenze in casa: il telefono squilla a vuoto, i ragazzi del bar di sotto la torturano con il loro chiasso; il corpo perde efficienza, il carattere tranquillità.

I may have reached my breaking point. As if trying to graduate from a school for supernaturals isn’t stressful enough, my relationship status has gone from complicated to a straight-up dumpster fire. Oh, and the Bloodletter has decided to drop a bomb of epic proportions on us all...

Il 19 maggio 1953 Leonardo Sciascia scrive a Italo Calvino, funzionario dell'Einaudi, chiedendo un libro da recensire. E lo invita a collaborare alla rivista «Galleria». È l'inizio di un fitto scambio epistolare tra i due che continuerà fino alla morte di Calvino, e che è stato integralmente ricostruito in queste pagine: 145 tra lettere, biglietti, cartoline, telegrammi. Il carteggio restituisce il loro rapporto di stima e amicizia: l'incontro, il reciproco scoprirsi e intendersi, la pubblicazione di molte delle loro opere, il parziale allontanamento degli anni Settanta.

«Partendo per gli Stati Uniti, e anche durante il viaggio, spergiuravo che non avrei scritto un libro sull'America (ce n'è già tanti!). Invece ho cambiato idea. I libri di viaggio sono un modo utile, modesto eppure completo di fare letteratura. Sono libri che servono praticamente, anche se, o proprio perché, i paesi cambiano d'anno in anno e fissandoli come li si è visti se ne registra la mutevole essenza; e si può in essi esprimere qualcosa che va al di là della descrizione dei luoghi visti, un rapporto tra sé e la realtà, un processo di conoscenza.
