Synopsis

The Black Codex of José Hernández 


(Medieval historical fiction novel set in the 11th century A.D.) 


Adventure, intrigue, action and excitement in a medieval story. 


The Black Codex 


The Black Codex is a story of passion, intrigue, and power in a time no longer remembered. It is revealed through the investigations of Raquel, a young engineer who is shocked by a detail in a Romanesque church in the Lleida Pyrenees. Throughout the development of the story, she is accompanied by Xavier Rivas, professor of medieval history at the University of Girona, with whom she begins a very close relationship. 


At a time when legend and reality intertwine in the night of time, in 1035, a year of convulsions in general, Wilfred of Berga, his wife and Leodovico, a minstrel who has recently arrived in the region and who brings with him legends from distant lands, will begin a search for the impossible that will defy both reason and faith and will unleash the wrath of the darkest powers. 


A powerful portrait of the Middle Ages with main characters such as Oliba, Guillermos de Besalú, the King of Navarre, the Bishop of Urgel... A combination of characters who go to the place where it all began, the Lleida Pyrenees, where it will have a dramatic end as a result of internal struggles between feudal lords, whose entire conflict is recorded in a cursed book: The Black Codex.

    Tall girls should stick together. Love arrives when you stop looking for it. One of the widows, a teleprompter operator, impresses one of her clients so much that he returns a year later to find her. He brings his widowed sister and her daughter. The daughter sets her mother up with the teleprompter operator's single brother, a botanist who spends much of his life on an airboat in the Florida swamps researching alien invasives and endangered plants. Other romances also blossom. 
    Both of the guys have secrets. The botanist has friends and associates who hide in the swamp, who rely on him for support as he relies on them for information. The other guy, who started all this, has worked with espionage agencies, and while he is determined to leave the past behind, it returns to drag him into action again. 
    A hurricane upends everything, and rescues become the order of the day.

    Blending supernatural intrigue with existential mystery, MORI is a haunting story of vanished friends, cryptic messages, and the fragile boundary between reality and the unknown. 
    When four friends vanish without a trace, all that remains is a logbook kept by Mori, a troubled man suspected of their disappearance. His entries reveal a life steeped in regret and self-medication, until a disembodied voice calls out from “across the Cosmic Gulf,” imploring him to help find a missing woman. 
    Fearful he’s losing his grip on reality, Mori embarks on an otherworldly investigation through modern Los Angeles, chasing cryptic symbols and bizarre phenomena, with fleeting moments of wry humor that underscore the deeper emotional stakes at play. Drawn into his quest are an enigmatic neighbor—a radiant yet haunted woman—and her eclectic circle of friends. Each has their own reasons for joining Mori’s strange odyssey, yet none are prepared for the dark truths that await them. 
    Their search leads to a labyrinthine realm of “high strangeness,” where time acts strangely and a mysterious entity seems to observe their every move. At the center of it all lies a sinister figure known only as The LA Lurker. 
    Though it’s the first in The Lost Ones series, MORI can be enjoyed as a gripping standalone. 
    “A thriller that grows stranger, creepier, and more magical throughout. MORI is one of a kind…thoroughly absorbing.” —IndieReader

    ""Alice in Blunderland: An Iridescent Dream" is a novel by John Kendrick Bangs, first published in 1907 by Doubleday, Page & Co. of New York. Illustrated by Albert Levering, this work serves as a political parody of Lewis Carroll's famous Alice books: "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" (1865) and "Through the Looking-Glass" (1871).    In this whimsical tale, Alice finds herself in "Blunderland", also humorously referred to as "Municipal Ownership Country". Here, she encounters familiar characters from Wonderland, including the dormouse, the Mad Hatter, and the Cheshire Cat. However, instead of whimsical adventures, Alice grapples with issues critical of collectivism, taxation, corporate greed, and corruption.    The novel playfully transports readers to a satirical realm where absurdity meets political commentary. "
