Book Description
In the shadowy streets of Blindcrest, where colors are mere whispers and darkness reigns supreme, Detective Tedric Clavell walks a razor's edge between light and shadow. Armed with a unique gift—the ability to see flashes of color in a grayscale world—Clavell is thrust into a case that will test the limits of his perception and his soul. When the enigmatic Marion Bulstrode hires him to find her missing sister, Clavell is drawn into a labyrinth of secrets, sorcery, and sin. His investigation leads him through the notorious Shadow Alley, where every whisper carries a threat and every deal has a deadly price. But nothing can prepare Clavell for the horror that awaits in Merton Manor—the Mirror of Enrys, a cursed artifact with the power to reveal one's darkest truths... and consume their very essence. As Clavell delves deeper into the mystery, he must confront not only the shadows that lurk in Blindcrest's corners but also those that dwell within his own heart. In a world where reality blurs with nightmare, can Clavell solve the case before the darkness claims him forever? The Noir of Night and Shadow is a gripping urban fantasy noir that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very last page. Perfect for fans of Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and China Miéville's The City & The City.

These Festive Nights
Author: Marie-Claire Blais
Publisher: House of Anansi
ISBN: 1487004591
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 311
Book Description
The first volume in the beloved novelist Marie-Claire Blais’ prize-winning novel cycle — acclaimed as one of the greatest undertakings in modern Quebec fiction — reissued in a handsome A List edition, featuring an introduction by Lisa Moore. Originally published in 1995 under the title Soifs, the first novel in Marie-Claire Blais’ masterful series won the Governor General’s Award for French Fiction and was hailed by critics around the world as a tour de force, comparing Blais to such literary greats as Virginia Woolf, Dante, Sophocles, and Shakespeare. In this dazzling rendering, These Festive Nights, celebrated translator Sheila Fischman brings Blais’ novel to life for English-speaking readers. A sun-drenched paradise in the Gulf of Mexico surrounded by the glimmering blue sea; Renata is convalescing on this island poised between two worlds: between great wealth and extreme poverty, between the past and an uncertain future, between the beauty of the world and the horrors of history. During her time here, Renata becomes tormented by thirst — for justice, for pleasure, for intoxication — while all around her, festivities are going on in joint celebration of the birth of baby Vincent and the end of the twentieth century. Over the course of three days and three nights a flock of characters assembles — an entire spectrum of humanity is depicted in the grip of doubt and suffering. In this swirling, baroque fresco, Marie-Claire Blais captures the essence of our apocalyptic age, rendering it in powerfully evocative prose.

Languages : en
Pages : 899
Book Description
In the first book in the epic Lamb among the Stars series, author Chris Walley weaves the worlds of science and the spirit, technology and supernatural into something unique in science fiction. Twelve thousand years into the future, the human race has spread across the galaxy to hundreds of terraformed worlds. The effects of the Fall have been diminished by the Great Intervention, and peace and contentment reign under the gentle rule of the Assembly. But suddenly, almost imperceptibly, things begin to change. On the remotest planet of Farholme, Forester Merral D’Avanos hears one simple . . . lie. Slowly a handful of men and women begin to realize that evil has returned and must be fought. What will this mean for a people to whom war and evil are ancient history? Thus begins the epic that has been described as “If C. S. Lewis and Tolkien had written Star Wars.” The Shadow and Night was previously published in two volumes: The Shadow at Evening and The Power of the Night.

Book Description
It was just striking three as I came up the companion-stairs on to the deck of the Cottage City, into the clear topaz light of a June morning in Alaska: light that had not failed through all the night, for in this far northern latitude the sun only just dips beneath the horizon at midnight for an hour, leaving all the earth and sky still bathed in limpid yellow light, gently paling at that mystic time and glowing to its full glory again as the sun rises above the rim. Our steamer had left the open sea and entered the Taku Inlet, and we were steaming very slowly up it, surrounded on every side by great glittering blocks of ice, flashing in the sunshine as they floated by on the buoyant blue water. How blue it was, the colouring of sea and sky! Both were so vividly blue, the note of each so deep, so intense, one seemed almost intoxicated with colour. I stepped to the vessel's side, then made my way forward and stood there; I, the lover of the East, dazzled by the beauty of the North! The marvellous picture before me was painted in but three colours, blue, gold, and white.
