Después de presenciar el asesinato de su padre cuando era tan solo una niña, Laris Leakarden vive únicamente para vengarse. Tras su paso por la institución de asesinas Hollerins, su odio la arrastra al recóndito lugar donde habita el monstruo que le arrebató todo.
El temible Lord de las Gárgolas responde a su amenaza de una forma inesperada: le abre las puertas de su propia fortaleza y le da la opción de matarlo a traición. Solo tiene una condición: debe permanecer entre sus murallas y estar dispuesta a realizar cualquier encargo que él le solicite en el exterior, pues Laris Leakarden, como humana, tiene una propiedad de la que él carece: inmunidad a la luz del sol.
Berggruen’s collection with more than one hundred masterpieces is a spectacular tribute to the foresight of this major player in the Paris art market during the second half of the twentieth century. Born into a Jewish family in Berlin in 1914, he went into exile in California on the eve of World War II. He became art critic for the San Francisco Chronicle and assistant to the director of the San Francisco MoMA. After the war, Berggruen returned to Europe, first to Munich as a journalist, then to Paris where he worked at the UNESCO headquarters before becoming an art dealer specialized in the graphic arts of modern artists. He quickly established contacts within the Parisian cultural scene, meeting both the artists he would represent and the poets, dealers, historians, critics, and collectors of the day. Guided by his personal tastes, he built a solid collection of twentieth-century works now housed at the Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin spanning the careers of Pablo Picasso and Paul Klee and including Henri Matisse’s collages and Alberto Giacometti’s sculptures. The vast ensemble was exhibited at the Orangerie in 2024 and is housed in the Berggruen Museum/Neue Nationalgalerie Berlin.
