An immortal clown. A knight with a secret as black as the impenetrable armor he never takes off. In a strange future where the British Empire reigns supreme, these lonely wanderers meet by the fire and share their stories of service and sorrow.

"In a small town in Appalachia, people paint their doorways blue to keep spirits away. Black ferns grow where death will follow. And Weatherly Opal Wilder is a Death Talker. When called upon, she can talk the death out of the dying and save their lives -- only once, never twice. But this truly unique gift comes at a price, rooting Weatherly to people who only want her around when they need her and resent her unfamiliar ways when they don't. Weatherly's cousin Adaire also has a gift: she's a Scryer and can see the future reflected back in dark surfaces. Right before she is killed in an accident, Adaire saw something unnerving, and that's why Weatherly believes she was murdered -- never thinking for a moment that it was an accident. But when Weatherly, for the first time, is unable to talk the death out of the mayor's son, the whole town suspects she is out for revenge, that she wouldn't save him. With the help of clues Adaire left behind and her family's Granny Witch recipe box, Weatherly sets out to find the truth behind her cousin's death, whatever it takes."--

"In this contemporary fantasy, the most notorious nine-tailed fox in Korea pairs up with a trickster god-turned-detective to track down a wrathful demon before it can destroy the mortal world"--

Et si Icare, Ariane, Thésée et le Minotaure nous racontaient notre adolescence, ses différents visages ? Le désir de plaire et de se surpasser de Thésée, la révolte orgueilleuse d'Ariane, la sagesse rêveuse d'Icare, la monstruosité du Minotaure qui n'est peut-être que sa singularité, tous ayant en commun un caractère absolu et irréconciliable. Le drame est celui de leur affranchissement impossible, d'une libération des pères et des rois (Minos, Égée, Dédale) qui n'aboutit pas, mais dont l'échec éclaire, délivrant une leçon d'espérance.

"Can you look me in the face," said Mistress Schuyler mischievously, "and tell me that you don't know that in twenty-four hours her father will be cleared of these charges? Nonsense! Do you think I have no eyes in my head? Do you think I misread the general's face and your own?"

Explores the ideals, symbolism and ideology of Egyptian kingship and uncovers the stories behind the objects and images left as a legacy by this ancient civilisation. The rulers of ancient Egypt were not always male, nor always Egyptian. At times, Egypt was divided by civil war, conquered by foreign powers or ruled by competing kings. While some kings were revered ¿ such as Thutmose III who expanded Egypt¿s empire to its largest extent ¿ the memory of others was officially erased. Many of the objects surviving from ancient Egypt project the image the pharaoh wanted us to see ¿ however this book explores the reality and the many challenges of ruling one of the greatest civilisations the world has ever seen. After an introduction into the historic and geographic timeframe of the ancient Pharaohs, the book explores royal iconography, decoding the insignia worn and held by the king, or the names and titles covering most royal monuments. The core of the book investigates the main roles of the king, as high priest, as the head of the royal family, as the administrative ruler of the country and as the leader of the army and diplomat. Following an investigation into the preparation for the king¿s eternal life, from the rituals to the building of a tomb, the book closes on a contemporary perspective from Egypt and how the notion of the Pharaoh still resonates today. The book covers 3,000 years of history ¿ highlighting research on key pieces from the British Museum¿s outstanding collection of Egyptian antiquities.
