    From the elder tree's roots in Sylvandar's heartwood, where ent's ancient whispers guide the forest's pulse and nymphs blossom in petal-kissed springs, ent Thorne imparts wisdom to nymph Lirael, whose romance unfolds like vines in his timeless embrace. Their blossoming love, rooted in bark oaths and root-shared secrets, nurtures the wood—or stirs a blight from encroaching axes. As they wander root labyrinths and canopy-shaded groves, guarded by thorn sentinels and logger spirits, Thorne's ent wisdom entwines with Lirael's floral vitality, revealing an elder prophecy of rooted harmony. When a felled branch summons rot creepers, they must whisper renewal to heal the tree. In the depth of root whispers, where every bark holds history and every petal sighs with new life, their romance becomes the bloom that sustains the ancient wild.

    The Black Ewe by Fritz Leiber - She brought death to all those who walked beside her... 
    Very well, I’ll tell you why I broke off my engagement to Lavinia Simes–though I'm not the sort of person who likes to go around broadcasting the facts of his private life. There's altogether too much broadcasting going on these days, by wave, newsprint and heaven knows what subtler avenue of approach to the human mind. 
    I could sum it all up in the one word horror. But that doesn't mean much by itself. Besides it would let you explain it away as a neurotic delusion, aftermath of the near nervous breakdown I had in 1946, when I quit my desk job with OSS. Though why anyone shouldn't have a nervous breakdown these days, with the whole world rushing hypnotized into the mouth of doom, is more than I can see. 
    At any rate "ridiculous neurotic delusion" is the explanation favored by most of the friends of the Simes–one syllable, you know, rhymes with limes. They de­light in telling eaeh other how without any word of warning I walked away from Lavinia in the midst of a sight­seeing tour of Chicago and refused ever to see her again. Which is completely accurate lncidently. 
    They all think I behaved outrageously. All of them, that is, except Mrs. Grot­ius.

    Milano, anno 2050. Il caldo estremo domina ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana, e i cittadini sono obbligati a vivere dietro schermi protettivi, sorvegliati e regolati da dispositivi tecnologici. Atra e Maso, due adolescenti alla ricerca di emozioni vere, sfidano i limiti di questa società iper-controllata per ritrovare ciò che sembra perduto: la libertà di sentire, di scegliere, di amare. Un bacio proibito, il profumo di una fragola clandestina, e la ribellione ai protocolli imposti diventano gesti rivoluzionari, fragili e coraggiosi allo stesso tempo. 
    2050, kiss me è un racconto distopico intenso e delicato, un invito a proteggere la nostra umanità dalle derive di un futuro fin troppo plausibile.

    To succeed, he needs a bigger team.

    Meanwhile, Katy has a different kind of miracle to pull off. One that draws attention from all the wrong places . . . 
     
     
     
    With increasing danger on every front, can Beau pull the squadron together in time to win the battle and bring the colonists home? 
     
     
     
    Lone Wolf Squadron might have won the initial battle, but they still could lose the war.
