Diez
by S. B. R.Lo más duro de todo es el silencio, borrar tu nombre de mi boca, no volver a verte sonreír. ¿Qué hacer cuando todo se derrumba a tu alrededor y el suelo se hunde a tus pies? Seguir nadando. Nunca parar. Y si cuentas con la ayuda de una amiga caritativa, pues, mejor que mejor. Con humor, a veces, con intensidad siempre, nuestro protagonista nos va relatando su particular ascenso hasta las nubes, utilizando sus encuentros amorosos como hilo conductor. Cada nueva relación es un nuevo peldaño hacia la luz. Por el camino se van dejando los jirones de la desdicha, hasta mudar por completo la piel. Al final, el amor nos lo quita, el amor nos lo da. La perseverancia rinde sus frutos; se dejan atrás las ciénagas sin horizontes, hasta llegar a encontrarse frente al luminoso mar, inmenso.

Despite her cover as the daughter of the land steward for Lord Malton, Marcus Aurelius, spirited Viola Gates is tied by birth to the treacherous Jacobite legacy.

Senior Inspector Roku MacCormick of the Chinatown Arcane Crimes Division faces a pile of challenges far beyond his human-faerie heritage, snarling dragons guarding C-Town’s multiple gates, and exploding noodle factories. After a case goes sideways, Roku is saddled with Trent Leonard, a new partner he can’t trust, to add to the crime syndicate family he doesn’t want and a spell-casting serial killer he desperately needs to find. While Roku would rather stay home with Bob the Cat and whiskey himself to sleep, he puts on his badge and gun every day, determined to serve and protect the city he loves. When Chinatown’s dark mystical underworld makes his life hell and the case turns deadly, Trent guards Roku’s back and, if Trent can be believed, his heart... even if from what Roku can see, Trent is as dangerous as the monsters and criminals they’re sworn to bring down.
