A Dickensian tale of two young boys from opposite sides of the track who form a bond of brotherhood and friendship as they survive the streets of Lagos. Temilola is a kind-hearted boy from the upper echelons of Nigerian society who wakes up alone in the middle of Lagos and discovers that he has lost his memory. He soon finds that this is the least of his problems, as he must now attempt to survive the dangerous streets of Lagos. Vipaar, who has been making a living as a hawker of random necessities on the streets of Lagos, finds Temilola and, after a violent first encounter, reluctantly takes him under his wing. They form a strong bond as they strive to make a meagre living selling mobile phone chargers to passing motorists on the dangerous highways of Lagos. The boys navigate the ruthless underbelly of Lagos and learn just how far they will go to protect themselves and each other. When tragedy strikes, their bond is broken and they are forced to separate from each other. Will the two friends find each other again after they both face increasing brutality, pain and sorrow? Or will their destinies have diverged enough to tear them apart forever?

<p>W wyniku nieszczęśliwego zbiegu okoliczności Marta Witecka zatrzymuje się w nieznanym miasteczku. Postanawia wykorzystać sytuację, by zwiedzić okolice i wreszcie znaleźć mocny reporterski temat, który przyniesie upragniony sukces zawodowy.</p> <p>Mieszkańcy w uprzejmy, acz zdecydowany sposób próbują pozbyć się gościa. Dziennikarka czuje, że właśnie dlatego warto zostać i opisać to miejsce.</p> <p>Dowiaduje się o klątwie. W miasteczku może mieszkać nie więcej niż tysiąc osób. Następstwa przekroczenia tej liczby są przerażające.</p> <p>Marta zaczyna coraz sprawniej funkcjonować w przedziwnym, odwróconym systemie tej społeczności, w której pogrzeby to wesołe uroczystości, bo zwalnia się miejsce, a związek gejów jest powszechnie akceptowany, bo nie będą mieli dzieci. Poznaje mieszkańców, konsekwencje łamania zasad, historie ofiar klątwy i coraz bardziej zaskakujące motywy postępowania tubylców.</p> <p>Tymczasem dochodzi do kolejnego wypadku. W nocy na ulicy zostaje znalezione zmasakrowane ciało nauczycielki. Miasteczko nie szuka winnych, wszyscy cieszą się, że klątwa znowu nie dopadła nikogo z nich.</p> <p>Fakty wskazują, że może tu działać seryjny morderca, jednak zebrane dane i opowieści ludzi sprawiają, że Marta również powoli zaczyna wierzyć w istnienie anatemy.</p> <p>Co tak naprawdę dzieję się w MILLE?</p> <p></p> <p>Z recenzji:</p> <p><em>Bardzo mi się podoba ten duszny, prawie klaustrofobiczny nastrój, jaki udało się wykreować autorce.</em></p> <p><em>Oryginalna fabuła, a tę swoistą „lepkość” małego miasteczka czuję na skórze.</em></p> <p><em>Czuć tu coś, co lubię w najlepszych powieściach gatunkowych: napięcie, które nie wynika z samej intrygi, ale z tego, czego bohaterowie nie mówią.</em></p> <p><em></em></p> <p><strong>Dagmara Andryka</strong> – z wykształcenia filozof, absolwentka studiów podyplomowych w Instytucie Literatury Polskiej na Wydziale Polonistyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego.

The "fresh, engaging new fantasy series" continues as a young woman must hone her magical abilities as she faces enemies on all sides in the fight to save her homeland (Julie E. Czerneda, author of A Turn of Light) Talent Kerida Nast and her companions have fought hard against the invading Halian forces. But though they have found Jerek Brightwing, the true Luqs of Farama, the country remains in the cruel hands of the Halians. The fight has only just begun. For the Halians have installed their own puppet Luqs—Jerek's father. And as Ker's skills as a psychic Talent grow stronger, she must somehow learn the subtle arts of persuasion and politicking if she is to unite her quarreling allies who still harbor a strong distrust of each other—and a suspicion of her magical gifts. Still, this bigotry is nothing compared to the Halians, who see all women as little more than chattel. Mere possessions that exist to diminish the greatness of men. And a woman of Talents is seen as an abomination to be destroyed at all costs. But now, their own twisted beliefs may prove to be their undoing. For Bakura, the Princess Imperial of the Halians and soon-to-be-Queen possesses her own long-hidden magical gifts. And her greatest desire is to escape the corrupted world of power she was born into, and be free to embrace who she truly is. All she needs is someone to help her… Someone like Kerida.

A golden age doesn't last forever... Owen Deathstalker sacrificed everything to topple a corrupt empire and usher humanity into an age of peace and prosperity. Now Lewis Deathstalker, Owen's descendant, carries on the family name and honor as a Paragon, warriors famed for their skill and heroism who dispense the king's justice throughout the galaxy. However, two hundred years have passed since Owen and his gang of heroes disappeared into legend, and the peace that the Deathstalker bought with his life is quickly coming to an end. Amidst political uncertainty, Lewis's oldest friend, Douglas, ascends the throne and names Lewis to the archaic, and largely symbolic, role of King's Champion. But Lewis quickly finds that he has all the bad luck of his famous ancestor and that his old allies have become his enemies. Surrounded on all sides by plots and treason with the political situation spiralling out of control, Lewis is exiled from court in disgrace. Now it's the new Deathstalker's turn to save the empire with only a ragged band of allies as chaos spreads throughout the empire and threatens to end the golden age. Note from Publisher: This book was originally published as Book 6 in the Deathstalker series.
