When Nick travels to Belgium for a visit with a woman from his past, he unwittingly stumbles on the trail of a legendary panel from the Ghent Altarpiece, stolen in 1934 under cover of night and never seen since. Soon Nick is plunged into a bitter conflict, one that has been simmering for nearly two thousand years. On one side is the Maidens of Saint-Michael, les Vautours—the Vultures—a secret order of nuns and the guardians of a great truth. Pitted against them is the Vatican, which has wanted for centuries to both find and possess what the nuns guard. Because of Nick the maidens have finally been exposed, their secret placed in dire jeopardy—a vulnerability that the Vatican swiftly moves to exploit utilizing an ambitious cardinal and a corrupt archbishop, both with agendas of their own.

Cayden Veles, renowned Demon Commander of Vareveth, overthrew the throne to save Elowen Atarah, the woman he searched for since childhood. Now he’s determined to fulfill his quest for revenge against her father, even if it means forcing the only person he’s ever wanted into a marriage of political convenience. Elowen Atarah has everything she thought she’d ever want. Finally reunited with her dragons, she now has an army to enact vengeance, but as events transpire, she begins contemplating if she wants more. As her father’s only living heir, the Imirath throne is her right and destiny. But fighting and winning a war will require trusting Cayden Veles, her partner in crime and now king to her queen; the man she both longs for and doubts, especially after opening her heart only to become a pawn in his game. Navigating the shifting allegiances amongst all the kingdoms of Ravaryn will require all their strategy and strength, with devastating and bloody attacks on one side and cutthroat diplomacy for alliances on the other. But Elowen and Cayden must find a way to stand strong within the power they’ve gained, or risk losing everything. Delving deeper into a vast and ever-changing world, Wrath of the Dragons will take you on a journey filled with epic battles and a tender, angsty love for the ages.

Huyendo de la peste de 1348, diez jóvenes florentinos (tres hombres y siete mujeres) deciden refugiarse en la villa de uno de ellos situada en el campo. A lo largo de su ausencia de catorce días, para pasar el rato durante las calurosas horas de sobremesa deciden contarse diariamente (salvo sábado y domingo) cuentos por turno. De ello resulta una colección de cien relatos deliciosa y que reúne los más diversos aspectos de la vida humana, muchas veces con humor, otras con espanto o con un delicado guiño lascivo, mas siempre de una forma que no deja indiferente. El "Decamerón" es una de las grandes obras de la literatura universal.

La importancia y sentido de" Pasaje a la India" , considerada de forma casi unánime la obra cumbre de su autor, no se reducen en modo alguno a la simple denuncia de los estragos causados por el imperialismo británico en el subcontinente indio, sino que E. M. Forster lleva a cabo en ella la transposición poética del enfrentamiento de dos mundos opuestos, Oriente y Occidente; de dos actitudes mentales, la intuitiva y la lógica; de dos principios reducidos a norma de conducta, la estética y el pragmatismo. Un conjunto de oposiciones aglutinado por la poesía y el humor y sobre el que planea, a lo largo de toda la novela, la imposibilidad de comunicación de dos seres unidos por la amistad o el amor.
