Questo libro ? il secondo manuale-racconto sulla vita contemporanea, e diario personale scritto da me. La vera gioia che il nostro tempo restituisce tramite le esperienze, non un ritrovato delle nuove tecnologie ma una funzione in diversi periodi storici e geologici, cosa lo ha gi? creato secondo delle spiegazioni, sugli avvenimenti e le loro soluzioni. Una passeggiata alla luce del Sole, dei fatti e degli incanti a volte mai svelati, forse troppo nuovi e insoliti, in una collettivit? che gi? da tempo ne presenta delle necessita, come di una voce pi? ampia e slanciata, uno strumento per insistere meglio la giornata davvero e non in sogno. Diario scritto in modo semplice per una forma artistica testuale, a giustificare anche un’esperienza iniziale e incolta odierna. In stile l’Ulisse di James Joyce diventa un libro di bene intesa come forma di vita, di arte del presente, fondamentale per esistere liberi, vivi e di certo. Il periodo delle sedici lettere contenute raggiunge d’aprile 2007 a ottobre 2008.

En UNA PROMESA DE GLORIA (Libro #5 de El Anillo del Hechicero), Thor se embarca con sus amigos de La Legi?n en una b?squeda ?pica en la vasta selva del Imperio para intentar encontrar la antigua Espada del Destino y salvar al Anillo. Las amistades de Thor se profundizan mientras viajan a nuevos lugares, enfrentan monstruos inesperados y luchan en una batalla inimaginable.

Tendr?n que convocar todas sus habilidades si quieren sobrevivir, mientras siguen el rastro de los ladrones, m?s y m?s profundamente en el Imperio. Su b?squeda les llevar? hacia el coraz?n del Inframundo, uno de los siete reinos del infierno, donde los No Muertos gobiernan, y los campos se alinean con los huesos. Mientras Thor debe invocar sus poderes, m?s que nunca, se esfuerza por comprender su naturaleza. De regreso al Anillo, Gwendolyn debe guiar a la mitad de la Corte del Rey al basti?n occidental de Silesia, una antigua ciudad encaramada en el borde del Ca??n que ha resistido por mil a?os. Las fortificaciones de Silesia le han permitido sobrevivir todos los ataques a lo largo de cada siglo – pero nunca ha enfrentado el asalto de un l?der como Andr?nico, de un ej?rcito de un mill?n de hombres. Gwendolyn aprende lo que es ser reina, cuando toma el papel de lideresa, Srog, Kolk, Brom, Steffen, Kendrick y Godfrey a su lado, prepar?ndose para defender la ciudad de la guerra masiva que est? por llegar.

Nun ist sie ein vollbl?tiger Vampir, und sie bestaunt ihre neu erlangten Kr?fte, ihre F?higkeit zu fliegen und ihre ?bermenschliche St?rke. Ihre wahre Liebe Caleb ist immer noch an ihrer Seite und wartet geduldig auf ihre Genesung. Sie hat alles, was sie sich ertr?umen k?nnte. Bis auf einmal alles schrecklich schief l?uft. Caitlin ertappt Caleb mit seiner Ex-Frau, Sera, und bevor Caleb eine Gelegenheit zur Erkl?rung hat, wirft Caitlin ihn hinaus. Mit gebrochenem Herzen und verwirrt, w?rde Caitlin am liebsten sterben, und ihr einziger Trost ist ihr Wolf-Welpe Rose. Caitlin findet weiteren Trost in ihrem neuen Umfeld. Sie erf?hrt, dass man sie auf eine versteckte Insel mitten im Hudson River gebracht hat – Pollepel – in einen elit?ren Zirkel junger Vampire, bestehend aus 24 Jungen und M?dchen wie ihr. Sie erf?hrt, dass es ein Ort f?r Ausgesto?ene ist wie sie, und sie lernt ihre neue beste Freundin Polly kennen. Gemeinsam beginnen sie, Elitekampftechniken der Vampire zu trainieren, und sie erkennt, dass sie wom?glich endlich einen Ort gefunden hat, den sie Heimat nennen kann. Doch ein gigantischer Krieg der Vampire bahnt sich an, und ihr Bruder Sam ist immer noch da drau?en, von Samantha verschleppt. Auch der b?se Kyle, der nun das mystische Schwert besitzt, ist auf dem Kriegspfad und er will sich von nichts davon abhalten lassen, New York zu zerst?ren. Caitlin wei?, dass sie nur eine gewisse Zeit auf der Insel verbringen kann, bevor ihr Schicksal sie zwingt, weiterzuziehen – auch wenn sie sich dort zu Hause f?hlt und Interesse am schwer fassbaren Vampir Blake gefunden hat. Sie ist schlie?lich die Eine, und alle Augen sind auf sie gerichtet, in der Erwartung ihren Vater zu finden und die andere Waffe, die sie vielleicht alle retten kann. Zwischen ihren neuen Freunden und ihren immer noch vorhandenen Gef?hlen f?r Caleb hin und her gerissen, muss sie sich entscheiden, auf wessen Seite sie steht, und ob sie bereit ist, alles zu riskieren um Caleb zu finden und ihn wieder in ihrem Leben zu haben… „VERRATEN ist eine geniale Folge in der Serie. Morgan Rice hat das beste Buch der Serie geschrieben. Es ist schnell, voller Action, Liebe, Spannung und Intrigen!“ – VampireBookSite „Der Cliffhanger am Ende von VERRATEN wird den Leser nach mehr lechzen lassen und VERRATEN verdient die Note 1 f?r das schnelle Erz?hltempo und die einfallsreiche Geschichte.“ –The Dallas Examiner „VERRATEN hat Romantik, eine starke Geschichte, viel Action und ein schnelles Tempo.
