On the night everything fell apart, Selene Voss watched her boyfriend choose her half-sister.Right in front of her.Right in front of the whole pack.She did not cry. She did not beg. She ran.She ran past the pack borders. Past the treaty line. Deep into a forest that was supposed to be dangerous and right into the arms of a stranger she could not see clearly in the dark.His scent alone stopped her cold.Cedar. Rain. Something old and wild that made her wolf go completely, dangerously still.She told herself it was just one night.She was wrong.The next morning, Selene found a mark on her neck.Not a love bite. Not an accident.A claiming mark. Silver at the edges. Already permanent. Already his.Her father gave her thirty days to find a mate who would accept her or lose everything.Every eligible wolf turned her away.Nobody wanted a marked woman with no mate to show for it.Nobody except Alpha Gideon Ashvane the most powerful Alpha in the north who showed up at her fathers packhouse without warning, without a letter, and without any intention of leaving without her.Selene expected a cold transaction.What she got was a room with a lock on the door.A six-month trial she could walk away from.And a man who told her without flinching I am not here because pack law requires it.What she did not expect was Gideon himself.The way he stood at the kitchen window every morning, alone, before the pack woke up. The way he said her name in the dark like it mattered. The way he had been carrying something heavy for three years and had never put it down not until her.She did not expect to care about any of that.But she did.God help her, she did.Then she found out the truth.The stranger in the forest the one she had run to on the worst night of her life was not a rogue.He was never a rogue.He was Gideon.He had known who she was from the very beginning.

Il lettore che si immergera in questi brevi "100 racconti tra me e te" si trovera a dialogare con e come le due scrittrici, che hanno annullato la distanza chilometrica, scoprendosi, se pur con un linguaggio differente, a descrivere i medesimi ricordi, sentimenti, amori, desideri, prospettive, paesaggi. Un incontro casuale in un luogo naturalistico in riva al mare Ionio, dove sabbia e acqua si lasciano, si riprendono e si uniscono in uno stretto abbraccio. La loro scrittura, se pur apparentemente differente, si incrocia, si allinea, si continua fino a diventare unisona. Cattura lattenzione del lettore, della lettrice e condivide con loro le emozioni. Questo, secondo le autrici, e la bellezza del raccontare e della lettura, silenziandosi dal frastuono.Giovanna Rosaria Castelluccio, classe 1968, nasce a Castronuovo di SantAndrea (PZ).

Jorge de Lima, poeta nem sempre lembrado como mereceria, transita em sua obra entre o Simbolismo e o Modernismo, frequentemente marcado pela influencia da cultura negra. Muitos de seus poemas so envoltos numa aura de misticismo, sem, contudo, abandonar o formalismo que abona a qualidade que lhe e caracteristica. Alem daquele que empresta seu nome ao titulo deste livro, destacam-se os seguintes poemas: "Janaina", "Maria Diamba" e "Ancila Negra".

Olavo Bilac, mais notório pela poesia parnasiana que lhe trouxe o título de "príncipe dos poetas", escreveu também prosa, sendo os dois contos reunidos neste livro exemplos representativos dela.

In the heart of Noto, within the silent halls of the majestic Palazzo Castelluccio, a 19th-century marquis hides a diary inside a secret room. That single gesture becomes the spark that binds the fate of two families the Di Lorenzo noble lineage and the Benevento family across more than a century of secrets, visions, denied inheritances, and memories that refuse to remain buried.The story begins with Alessandro Benevento, the illegitimate son of a Di Lorenzo nobleman, who returns in old age to the Palace where he was raised.

He watched her work a room full of alpha politicians, registered the bond with complete clarity, and removed himself before she could see the recognition on his face. The Hollow had been active for three months. They were targeting unaffiliated wolves for a specific political purpose, and she was unaffiliated, publicly visible, and would have been an obvious mechanism against him. He chose distance over declaration and he held the line for eight months and he did not once consider that she would figure it out before he was ready.She found the bond in the council filing record. She rejected him before he could explain. He went to her apartment with an emergency ward provision and she told him what that actually was. The Hollow does not care about either of their timelines.The threat to unaffiliated wolves is escalating and the Alpha Kings logic was always sound and also entirely beside the point, because you do not get to spend eight months deciding someones risk for them without their knowledge and then show up with paperwork expecting gratitude.
