Angeli Caduti, Il Libro Completo

by Valmore Daniels Fabrocini Barbara

L’Angelo Del Fuoco Il mio nome è Darcy Anderson e sono stata maledetta con un oscuro potere. Ogni volta che la mia vita è in pericolo, qualcosa dentro di me, invoca il potere elementare del fuoco per proteggermi. Non posso controllarlo. Una notte, sono stata assalita in casa mia. Il fuoco… divampò senza controllo. Io sopravvissi a quell’inferno, ma la mia casa fu rasa al suolo – con dentro i miei genitori. Non fui in grado di spiegare alla corte cosa fosse successo, così fui spedita in prigione per dieci anni, con la pena di omicidio colposo. Sento il potere crescere in me. Se non riesco a controllarlo, sarà lui a controllare me, distruggendo ogni cosa – ed ogni persona – che io ami. Il Respiro Dell’Angelo Il mio nome è Richard Riley. Tutto ciò che ho sempre volute, è di condurre una vita normale. Quando ero più giovane, ho commesso degli sbagli, che mi hanno portato in prigione. Ho scontato la mia pena ed ora, cerco di ricostruirmi una vita. Ma qualcuno mi ha incastrato per un crimine che non ho commesso. Mi vogliono morto e non si faranno scrupoli ad uccidere la mia famiglia ed i miei amici per arrivare a me. Ma anche quando cerco di salvare le persone che amo, un oscuro ed antico potere mi cresce dentro. Posso sentire crescere la sua furia. Se lo dovessi lasciar andare libero, distruggerà ogni cosa buona della mia vita. Angelo Di Terra Il mio nome è Kyle Chase. Avevo uno splendido futuro come cardio chirurgo, finché un incidente, non ha distrutto il mio intero mondo. Proprio mentre stavo tentando di rimettere insieme i pezzi della mia vita, inciampai in una cospirazione vecchia di millenni; un segreto che la mia famiglia mi ha tenuto nascosto. Ora, i cospiratori mi vogliono fuori dai giochi. Non si fermeranno davanti a nulla pur di farmi tacere. Mentre cerco di scoprire la mia antica eredità, scop

Angelika Frankenstein Makes her Match: by the author of TikTok phenomenon THE HATING GAME

by Sally Thorne

From the bestselling Australian author of The Hating Game, now a major motion picture, comes something a little unexpected... an historical rom-com that imagines Victor Frankenstein's sheltered younger sister's attempts to create the perfect man. Clever, pretty (and odd), Angelika Frankenstein has run out of suitors. When assisting in her brother Victor's ground-breaking experiment to bring a reassembled man back to life, she realises that having an agreeable gentleman convalescing in the guest suite might be a chance to let a man get to know the real her. When the handsome scientific miracle sits up on the lab table, her hopes for an instant romantic connection are thrown into disarray. Named Will for the moment, he has amnesia and is solely focused on uncovering his true identity. Trying to ignore their heart-pounding chemistry, Angelika reluctantly joins his investigation, hoping it will bring them closer. But then a second suitor emerges to aid their quest. Perhaps fate is not something that can be influenced in a laboratory? Or is Will (or whatever his name is!) her dream man, tailored for her in every way? Filled with carriages, candlesticks and corpses, Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match is the spooky-season reimagining of the well-known classic that reminds us to never judge a man by his cadaver!'Thorne delivers laughs, thrills and heart in this rom-com riff on Mary Shelley's classic monster tale' Publishers Weekly'I adored every single second of it!'

Angelmass

by Timothy Zahn

Angelmass

by Timothy Zahn

“Fast-paced action . . . first-rate sf space adventure” (Library Journal) from the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of Star Wars: Thrawn. Deep in space lies the black hole known as Angelmass, so called because it emits enigmatic particles with the unusual ability to render humans calm, reasonable, and incapable of lying—which would normally be seen as a good thing. But not by everyone. For while Empyrean human colonies on the edge of the galaxy utilize the power of the “angels,” the Earth-based Pax empire views the emissions as a threat that could be used to subvert humanity. Academic Jereko Kosta is pressed into service by the Pax to spy on the Empyrean, joining the crew of a ship actively hunting the particles. But what he learns turns out to be both scientifically fascinating and morally frightening. When the Pax make an aggressive move that may lead to all-out war with the Empyrean, Kosta is the only one who can stop the conflict between the human powers and force them to see that the angels they’re about to fight over are far from holy . . . Timothy Zahn combines provocative ethical questions with the same level of vivid sci-fi action that made his Star Wars: Thrawn a New York Times bestseller to deliver “a serious SF novel sneakily posing as an enormous golden-age thrill ride” (Locus).

Angelo del Fuoco

by Valmore Daniels Fabrocini Barbara

Il mio nome è Darcy Anderson e sono maledetta da un potere oscuro: Ogni volta che la mia vita si trova in pericolo, qualcosa dentro me richiama il potere elementare del fuoco per proteggermi. Non riesco a controllarlo. Una notte, sono stata aggredita in casa mia. Il fuoco… è esploso senza controllo. Sono sopravvissuta a quell’inferno, ma la mia casa è stata rasa al suolo—con dentro i miei genitori. Non sono stata capace di spiegare alla corte cosa fosse successo, così sono stata condannata a dieci anni di reclusione per omicidio colposo. Ora sono fuori sulla parola e tutto ciò che voglio, è tornare al mio paese natale per ricostruirmi una vita; ma l’uomo che mi ha aggredito è tornato per finire il lavoro. Sento il potere crescere in me. Se non riesco a controllarlo, sarà lui a controllare me, distruggendo tutto—e tutti—ciò che amo

Angelo dell'Oscurità (Angeli Caduiti #5)

by Valmore Daniels Fabrocini Barbara

Il mio nome è Frank. MI sono unito alle forze di polizia per fare la differenza, ma dal primo giorno sul lavoro, ogni cosa che facevo rendeva peggiore la vita delle persone che avevo intorno. Per venticinque anni, sono andato alla ricerca di un significato che desse senso alla mia vita, ma non ho mai trovato una risposta. Proprio quando avevo deciso di voltare le spalle al lavoro della mia vita, ho scoperto una cospirazione più sinistra di qualsiasi cosa avessi mai potuto immaginare. Mentre investigo, realizzo che, anche se riuscissi a fermare i cospiratori, sulle mie mani avrei comunque avuto il sangue di persone innocenti; in migliaia potrebbero morire. Se non li fermo, l’intera umanità soffrirà un’era di oscurità…

Angelology

by Danielle Trussoni

A thrilling epic about an ancient clash reignited in our time--between a hidden society and heaven's darkest creatures. There were giants in the earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Genesis 6:5. Sister Evangeline was just a girl when her father entrusted her to the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration in upstate New York. Now, at twenty-three, her discovery of a 1943 letter from the famous philanthropist Abigail Rockefeller to the late mother superior of Saint Rose Convent plunges Evangeline into a secret history that stretches back a thousand years: an ancient conflict between the Society of Angelologists and the monstrously beautiful descendants of angels and humans, the Nephilim. For the secrets these letters guard are desperately coveted by the once-powerful Nephilim, who aim to perpetuate war, subvert the good in humanity, and dominate mankind. Generations of angelologists have devoted their lives to stopping them, and their shared mission, which Evangeline has long been destined to join, reaches from her bucolic abbey on the Hudson to the apex of insular wealth in New York, to the Montparnasse cemetery in Paris and the mountains of Bulgaria. Rich in history, full of mesmerizing characters, and wondrously conceived, Angelology blends biblical lore, the myth of Orpheus and the Miltonic visions of Paradise Lost into a riveting tale of ordinary people engaged in a battle that will determine the fate of the world.

Angelopolis

by Danielle Trussoni

"A stunning follow-up to the best-seller Angelology. . . Part historical novel, fantasy, love story, thriller, and mystery. . . It's a must-read." --Booklist (starred review) A New York Times bestseller and global sensation, Angelology unfurled a brilliant tapestry of myth and biblical lore on our present-day world and plunged two star-crossed heroes into an ancient battle against mankind's greatest enemy: the fatally attractive angel-human hybrids known as the Nephilim. With Angelopolis, the conflict deepens into an inferno of danger and passion unbound. A decade has passed since Verlaine saw Evangeline alight from the Brooklyn Bridge, the sight of her new wings a betrayal that haunts him still. Now an elite angel hunter for the Society of Angelology, he pursues his mission with single-minded devotion: to capture, imprison, and eliminate her kind. But when Evangeline suddenly appears on a twilit Paris street, Verlaine finds her nature to be unlike any of the other creatures he so mercilessly pursues, casting him into a spiral of doubt and confusion that only grows when she is abducted before his eyes by a creature who has topped the society's most-wanted list for more than a century. The ensuing chase drives Verlaine and his fellow angelologists from the shadows of the Eiffel Tower to the palaces of St. Petersburg and deep into the provinces of Siberia and the Black Sea coast, where the truth of Evangeline's origins--as well as forces that could restore or annihilate them all--lie in wait. Conceived against an astonishing fresh tableau of history and science, Angelopolis plumbs Russia's imperial past, modern genetics, and ancient depictions of that most potent angelic appearance--the Annunciation of Gabriel--in a high-octane tale of abduction, treasure seeking, and divine warfare as the fate of humanity once again hangs in the balance.

Angels & Exiles: Stories

by Yves Meynard

An “unpredictable, brilliantly imaginative, and very engaging” collection of dark fantasy and sci-fi stories by the acclaimed author of Chrysanthe (Ursula K. Le Guin). In these fourteen stories, ranging from baroque science fiction to bleak fantasy, Yves Meynard brings to life wonders and horrors. From space travelers who must rid themselves of the sins their souls accumulate in transit to a young man whose love transcends time; from refugees in a frozen hold at the end of space to a city drowning under the weight of its architectural prayer; from an alien Jerusalem that has corrupted the Earth to a land still bleeding from the scars of a supernatural war, here are windows opened onto astonishing vistas, stories written with a scientist’s laser focus alloyed with a poet’s sensibilities. “These stories cover a vast range. . . . Some are fantasy, some are science fiction, and many of them cover an interesting middle ground between the two—a form I think of as myths of the future, and of which Meynard has a special mastery.” —Jo Walton, from the introduction

Angels Exist

by Luis Vendramel

Durvalino, Durval to his friends, who works in a public repartition and who watches from the fountain at the end of the day Carmen, a seductive secretary. Perhaps a fixation, maybe a woman's enchantment or just a distraction. However, he notices other things, specially where he works and in the imperfect world around him. Disillusionment! Barbara, the redheaded girl who is hit by her stepfather and who Durval saves. The begining of something bigger, a metamorphosis. The saxophonist of a magic sound, Louis Brother, from the lower city, would say the neighborhood is bohemic and the den of doom: "a man changes the world." an affirmation taken seriously by Durvalino. And the angels have wings... Otherwise they are not angels. Little Barbara's conviction. And then, the angel emerged and changed the world.
