Wbrew porzekadłu „czas mija w miłości, miłość mija z czasem” kolejny raz próbujemy usidlić na papierze słowa opisujące uniesienia serc. Sprawdzamy, w co obracają się sielankowe dni zakochanych, kiedy uczucie – dotąd wydające się tak piękne, że wręcz niemożliwe do zniszczenia – zostaje wystawione na ciężką próbę. Do trudnej miłości dodajemy szczyptę żywego ognia i garści arktycznych mrozów. Na płytkach wyobraźni rozkładamy ją na chemiczne czynniki pierwsze, po czym składamy z powrotem w całość. Szczujemy ją dzikimi bestiami. Próbujemy zniewolić osiągnięciami technologii i magii. Bez skrępowania testujemy wytrzymałość duszy na ból, a upadki naszych bohaterów są zjawiskowe niczym fajerwerki. Wszystko to, by się przekonać, czy mimo wszystko – mimo łez, dramatów i rozgoryczeń – było warto. Dwie antologie i dwadzieścia dwa opowiadania później odpowiedź nadal nie jest dla nas oczywista.
With everything in chaos, Lela seeks to free Malachi from creatures bent on revenge in the depths of hell, but to do so she must work with Ana, who has her own agenda. Conclusion to the trilogy.
Don’t think don’t question just do. The anonymous note wasn’t for me. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not in the habit of reading other people’s mail, but it was just a piece of paper with a few lines scrawled on it, clearly meant for the apartment upstairs. It looked so innocent, but decidedly—deliciously—it was not. Before replacing the note—and the ones that followed—in its rightful slot, I devoured its contents: suggestions, instructions, commands. Each was more daring, more intricate and more arousing than the last…and I followed them all to the letter. Before the notes, if a man had told me what to do, I’d have told him where to go. But submission is an art, and there’s something oddly freeing about doing someone’s bidding…especially when it feels so very, very good. But I find that the more I surrender, the more powerful I feel—so it’s time to switch up roles. We play by my rules now. Originally published in 2009

The legendary space opera that kicked off the ground-breaking, universe-spanning series. Nine hundred thousand years ago, something wiped out the Amarantin. For the human colonists now settling the Amarantin homeworld Resurgam, it's of little more than academic interest, even after the discovery of a long-hidden, almost perfect Amarantin city and a colossal statue of a winged Amarantin. For brilliant but ruthless scientist Dan Sylveste, it's more than merelty intellectual curiosity - and he will stop at nothing to get at the truth. Even if the truth costs him everything. But the Amarantin were wiped out for a reason, and that danger is closer and greater than even Syveste imagines ... REVELA...
