Can he overcome his emotional shortcomings in time to rescue her future and his own—now so very attached to hers?</p><

Air Bound

Sisters of the Heart

<p>For as far back as she can remember, Airiana Ridell has always been aware of her extraordinary gift. She can intuit revealing and illuminating 'patterns' in the air around her-whether in a spray of mist, in billowing clouds, or in the dense swirls of an impenetrable fog. Her abilities led to her placement in a secret government training facility when she was a child, but everything changed after her mother was murdered.</p><p>Airiana fled the program, but she couldn't outrun the desperate members of a shadowy cabal who want her, who need her, who will kill to get her. Kidnapped and held aboard a ship bound for dangerous seas, her only chance for rescue is Maxim Prakenskii. He has his reasons for helping her, but he isn't about to reveal them to Airiana. Not yet. Not as the two are drawn together as moth to flame. Not when there are so many secrets yet untold that could shatter the quaint community of Sea Haven and all who reside there...</p><

Artefacts of Power

In ages past, there had been four magical weapons, fashioned to be used only by the Magefolk. But their history had been lost, together with the Artefacts themselves, in the Cataclysm which had wrought changes on land and water alike. Lost also had been the history of the Magefolk, and the Winged Ones, the Leviathans and Phaerie. Aurian, the child of renegade Mages, finds herself sent to the city of Nexis to join the Academy and then train as a full Mage. Little does she suspect that she will quickly become entwined with a power struggle between Miathan, the Archmage, and the human inhabitants of Nexis. The only person to whom she can turn in Forral, Commander of the city’s military garrison and friend of her dead father. But this friendship infuriates Miathan, and leads to a deadly conflagration, in which the first Artefact is revealed. Aurian’s flight, with her servant Anvar, turns into both odyssey and rite-of-passage as she travels to the little-known Southern Kingdoms and begins to rediscover the history of the weapons which are the only hope against Miathan and Armageddon—The Artefacts of Power!<

Artefacts of Power

At the end of “Sword of Flame,” the evil Mage Eliseth disappears through a rift in time with Aurian’s lover, Anvar, and the captured Harp of Winds. Accompanied only by a handful of companions, Aurian follows—only to find herself thrown ten years into the future by the unpredictable rift. And the world in which she finds herself is one which has been dominated by the evil Eliseth for all the years of her absence, and is therefore corrupt and almost unrecognizable. Anvar’s body is now in Eliseth’s control while his soul has been imprisoned in a crystal prison—and without the help of his mastery over the Harp of Winds, Aurian finds her powers severely diminished. Moreover, the Sword of Flame, which she has gained at the end of the eponymously-named book, is still not under her control, for she cannot bear to make the sacrifice that will bind it to her: spilling the life-blood of a loved one with its virgin steel. And somehow, she and her companions must overcome these monstrous odds to reunite Anvar’s spirit with his body, win the Sword, and defeat the evil Mages at last.<

Harp of Winds

Artefacts of Power

The second novel of Maggie Furey’s saga unfolds in a sweeping blaze of glory, terror, and mystic enchantment, as Lady Aurian and her lover Anvar return to the holy city of Nexis to find that the crazed Archmage Miathan’s sorcery has unleashed cataclysmic forces, locking the land in the icy grip of eternal winter.<

Dionigi

Madre, madri

Madre: parola meravigliosa e terribile, consolatoria e incombente, familiare ed estranea. Figura invocata e maledetta, generosa e possessiva, necessaria e rischiosa. Nome di tutti il più bello; e assoluto. Come la vita. Difficile da comprendere, perché le sue manifestazioni affondano le radici nel mito e nella storia, nella realtà e nei simboli, nella comunità e negli individui. Intorno alla Madre e alle Madri – nelle molteplici incarnazioni e memorabili raffigurazioni giunte sino a noi dalla cultura greca, latina e giudaico-cristiana – si interrogano sei interpreti del nostro tempo, in dialogo con i testi antichi, qui riuniti in un'antologia che va dall'Antico Testamento all'innografia bizantina, da Esiodo a Virgilio, da Sofocle e Euripide fino a Seneca e Apuleio. A colei-che-dà-la-vita non si cessa mai di chiedere, senza avvedersi che un cono d'ombra minaccia costantemente la luminosità dell'evento generativo. Forse é tempo di una nuova pietas: proteggere le madri.<

Sword of Flames

Artefacts of Power

From the author of “Aurian” and “Harp of Winds” comes the latest entry in this remarkable saga. The flame-haired Lady Aurian is not only a mage of great power, but also a heroine of great verve and spirit. Now, with the birth of her child, she has finally regained her powers and been reunited with her soulmate, Anvar, but the Archmage Miathan's curse still follows her. And until Aurian wins the last of the ancient Artefacts, the mystical Sword of Flame, her victory over the powers of darkness is far from assured.<

Tief im geheimnisvollen Land Xandim, in der Bergstadt des Himmelsvolks, beginnt sich Miathans Netz von Verrat und Betrug immer enger zusammenzuziehen. Und die magischen Kräfte der schwangeren Aurian schwinden – gerade jetzt, wo sie sie am dringendsten benötigt, denn das Kind, das sie unter ihrem Herzen trägt, ist mit einem grausamen Fluch behaftet ...<

In der Zwischenzeit rüsten die gefürchteten Khazalim im Süden zum Krieg.

The Antiquarian

<p>A Best of Summer pick.</p><p>An Amazon Best Book of the Month (Mystery, Thriller & Suspense).</p><p>A Best Book of the Summer: "The best literary puzzle of the summer."</p><p>Three years have passed since Gustavo, a renowned psycholinguist, last spoke to his closest friend Daniel, who has been interned in a psychiatric hospital for murdering his fiancée. When Daniel unexpectedly calls to confess the truth of what really happened, Gustavo’s long-buried loyalty resurfaces and draws him into the center of a quixotic, unconventional investigation. As Daniel reveals his account through fragments of fables, novels, and historical allusions, Gustavo begins to retrace the past: from their early college days exploring dust-filled libraries and exotic brothels; to Daniel’s intimate attachment to his sickly younger sister and his dealings as an antiquarian book collector at the Biblio Path. As the clues grow more macabre and more intricate with every turn, an increasingly skeptical Gustavo is forced to deduce a complex series of events from allegories that are more real than police reports, and metaphors more revealing than evidence.</p><p>With sumptuous prose and haunting imagery reminiscent of Borges, Bolaño, and Poe, Gustavo Faverón Patriau has crafted an unforgettable labyrinthine tale about the reality of human suffering, the healing power of stories, and the strength of fraternal bonds. is as entertaining as it is erudite, dark as it is illuminating.</p><
