Dr Helena Moriarty is Sam's reluctant partner, the Society's finest agent who has forged a formidable path in her notorious father's shadow.

Zen knew his soul was forfeit the moment he made a deal with the Demon God known as the Black Tortoise, but he's willing to lose himself if it means saving the Kingdom–and the girl–he loves. But to crush the colonizers who have invaded his land he needs more power than even a single Demon God can provide. He needs an army. And he knows exactly where he can find it–in the undead army his great grandfather lead decades ago. The Elantians may have stolen their throne, but the battle for the Last Kingdom has only begun.

Once, Lan had a different name. Now, she goes by the one the Elantian colonizers gave her when they invaded her kingdom, killed her mother, and outlawed her people’s magic. She spends her nights as a songgirl in Haak’gong, a city transformed by the conquerors, and spends her days scavenging for remnants of the past. For anything that might help her understand the strange mark burned into her arm by her mother, in her last act before she died.

Après avoir revisité "Barbe-Bleue", voici "Riquet à la houppe". Dans le rôle de la Belle, Trémière (comme la rose), élevée par sa grand-mère. Cette Vénus ne sait que s'abîmer dans la contemplation de l'extraordinaire beauté du monde, ce qui amène les autres à la considérer comme stupide. À l'opposé, Déodat, notre Riquet moderne, est d'une grande intelligence mais d'une laideur telle qu'elle en devient inqualifiable. Martyrisé, exclu, Déodat n'aime que les oiseaux dont il admire l'indifférence aux humains.

Tutto comincia nella sala d'attesa di un aeroporto. Non poteva essere altri che lui, una vittima perfetta. È stato sufficiente parlargli. E aspettare che la trappola scattasse. Tutto finisce nella sala d'attesa di un aeroporto. Va detto comunque che il caso non esiste. Un giallo? Forse. Certamente la doppiezza dell'uomo, la crudeltà, la bellezza e la bruttezza.

Un dialogo serrato e scintillante di ironia fra una scrittrice rompiscatole di oggi e Celsius, abitante del futuro. Un'antiutopia tagliente che prende l'avvio da un evento storico lontano nel tempo, o forse appena avvenuto: l'eruzione del Vesuvio nel 79 d.C., e la conseguente distruzione di Pompei.

Il protagonista è un uomo afflitto da una bruttezza senza speranza. Cos'altro gli rimane se non venerare una donna i cui tratti sono la perfezione assoluta? Moderna favola dell'amore impossibile, la Bella e la Bestia di Amélie Nothomb sono riscattati da un umorismo spietato che racconta una società attenta solo alle apparenze.

"...in quella guerra sanguinosa e piena di pericoli che è l'amore a volte è possibile anche assaporare un trionfo." Due esistenze sembrano condannate alla solitudine, fin quando per caso il destino non le farà incontrare: il famoso ornitologo Deodato ha un aspetto repellente ma è provvisto di un'intelligenza fuori dal comune, mentre Altea stupisce chiunque per la sua incantevole bellezza, che però sembra unirsi a un ingegno limitato e a una totale mancanza di interessi...
