After the frightful events of last autumn, seventeen-year-old Louisa Ditton has settled into her role as a maid at Coldthistle House, a place of distortions and lies, but she has not settled into what that means for her humanity. A threat?’ he demanded, crushing the parchment in his fist as the rain poured down even harder, the thunder in the sky above punctuating his outburst. ‘Your precious margrave would seek to intimidate a Greatcoat into abandoning his lawful mission? Does he so fear what the Abbot of Isola Sombra might reveal to me of his activities that he’d stoop to—?’ 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. In her mind, she knew those very hands could be capable of wielding gentle pleasure, just as they wielded the sharp edge of a blade. Masterful and to a rare skill of something altogether Godly."

Sin embargo, todo lo que sucedió, al menos para mí, jamás estuvo a la altura de lo que me prometieron. Jeanne ingresó a la corte y entró a una escuela en la que le enseñaban: peleas verbales, equitación, modales y peleas con armas. Entiendo, de verdad, pero a la vez no. De nuevo, no me molesta que el libro fuera juvenil, mi problema estuvo en que no sabía si se estaba tomando en serio a sí mismo. Las peleas verbales eran lo más absurdo que he leído en mucho tiempo, aunque entiendo que hablamos de la corte francesa y de lo importante que era la apariencia y elegancia, aun así no me lo pude tomar en serio. Quizá hubiera requerido una mejor ambientación para poder tomarle el peso a esas habilidades. Imperious ignored him, instead issuing a braying warning to the approaching knight. Running away clearly wasn’t the beast’s style. He sees only a fat man in a leather greatcoat slouched wearily upon a mule, Estevar thought, someone too slow to present a genuine threat. Someone he can bully as he pleases.It was too juvenile for me. That’s a shame because writing was not too bad. Maybe too much exclamation sentences to my taste... Some descriptions were nice though. I did not hate the book, I just think that I am probably not the right audience for this kind of story anymore. Imperious attempted to bite off the knight’s hand. When that failed, he snatched the leather cylinder away from him. Imperious swivelled his sorrel head once again, this time in an attempt to bite his rider’s hand as punishment for bringing him to this hellish place. Evidently, it wasn’t only the First Cantor to whom Estevar owed profuse apologies. Jeetje, het hoofdpersonage werkt precies in een slachthuis en komt er nog mooi mee weg elke keer. Jeanne wordt gewoon door de plot geholpen en dat irriteert me mateloos.

En 1715, el Rey Sol se convirtió en vampyro, para adquirir el nombre de Rey de las Tinieblas, desde entonces su dominio se extiende por la Magna Vampyria: Francia y sus reinos vasallos, congelados en el tiempo. Mientras tanto, el pueblo lleva tres siglos sufriendo vivir en el miedo y perdiendo su sangre para alimentar a la aristocracia. Ahora, Jeanne, joven plebeya, asiste impotente a la masacre de su familia, y buscando la forma de vengarse, asume la identidad falsa de una noble para ser admitida en la Escuela de la Gran Caballeriza, donde se prepara para vivir como cortesano en Versalles. Así, deberá sobrevivir a las intrigas de los inmortales, traiciones y abominaciones que se encuentran en el gran palacio. And just for a moment, Azriel let her annihilate him, body and soul - as that devotion crept through every crevice of his dark, twisted mind and kissed the most filthy, vile parts of it as if it were divine. Her love was as sharp as a dagger, piercing through the harsh flesh and bone of his ribcage and severing his heart from the confines of his chest. His love was a song, laced with both the insatiable depths of hel's wrath and the euphoric harmony of heaven's gates. Maybe they were not the heroes with kind hearts and noble causes they desperately wanted to be. Maybe they were always going to be broken. But somehow, that didn't matter, because in that moment, their scars glinted with the silver of stars and the bond hummed to a symphony deep to their bones. And that darkness they swallowed from each other's souls, tasted perfect on their tongues." My Lord did send a dozen of my fellow knights to investigate,’ Sir Daven said defiantly. ‘When they emerged the next morning . . .’ He paused, visibly shaken by whatever memories plagued him. ‘Twelve braver, steadier men and women I have never known, yet not one of them has uttered a word since their return. They sit in separate chambers within the margrave’s fortress, attended to by his personal physicians – not clerics, mind you, trained physicians – who claim their souls have fled their bodies.’A Knight of the March of Someil, Estevar reasoned, which explained both the accent and commanding tone.
