Czy można popełnić zbrodnię doskonałą? Zapytajcie naszych autorów! W tej antologii Krzysztof Rewiuk bada granice wolnej woli i odpowiedzialności, a Alicja Korzewska zmusza speca od brudnej roboty do udziału w tradycyjnym czuwaniu. Marianna Szygoń bez skrupułów wysyła ludzi na tamten świat i z powrotem, zaś Magdalena Kucenty i Magdalena Świerczek-Gryboś zabierają wszystkich w szaloną jazdę po zemście i popkulturze. Patrzcie pod nogi i nie ufajcie nikomu, kiedy do lasu zaprasza Agnieszka Osikowicz-Chwaja, a jeśli łatwo wam uwierzyć, że koty zawsze coś knują, posłuchajcie Agnieszki Biskup. I gdy w zaułki Watykanu wciągać was będzie Wiktor Orłowski, pamiętajcie, że dobro i zło, tak jak zbrodnia i kara, to często dwie strony tej samej monety. Niezależnie od tego, czy wolicie czytać kryminały, thrillery czy fantastykę, „Zbrodnia doskonała” to książka dla was. Tekstom towarzyszy czternaście oryginalnych, klimatycznych ilustracji stworzonych specjalnie na potrzeby antologii. Dla waszego komfortu na końcu antologii umieściliśmy listę ostrzeżeń dotyczących treści poszczególnych opowiadań.

Fates collide and darkness is unleashed in this lush, own-voices Latin-inspired fantasy, perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Leigh Bardugo and V. E. Schwab. Magia Para Todos; Magic for all. To Finnian Voy, magic is two things: a knife to hold under the throat of anyone who crosses her, and a disguise she shrugs on as easily as others pull on cloaks. As a talented faceshifter, it's been years since Finn has seen her own face, and that's exactly how she likes it. But when she gets caught by a powerful mobster, she's forced into an impossible mission: steal a legendary treasure from Castallan's royal palace or be stripped of her magic forever. To Prince Alfehr magic is an escape, but one that comes with a price. First in line for the throne after the disappearance of his older brother, Alfie is desperate to find him and bring him home, even if it means dabbling in forbidden magic. And when Finn and Alfie's fates collide, they realise magic can be other things too, and the type they accidentally release into the world is something neither expects, or understands. It's hungry.

Esposas, companheiras, musas, admiradoras, todas têm em comum o facto de terem sido vencedoras, enganadas e sacrificadas.

Sendo a virilidade um dos alicerces do poder absoluto, os ditadores sentiam a necessidade de juntar figuras femininas ao imaginário de poder e domínio que criaram. E assim controlando-os na sombra, por vezes, até à morte, como se vivessem sob a égide de um Pigmaleão. Diane Ducret relata em detalhe os momentos, as estratégias de sedução, os casos amorosos, as intervenções políticas e os destinos diversos, ocasionalmente trágicos, das mulheres que cruzaram o caminho ou passaram pelo leito dos ditadores.
