Soon the Duke realises that he has fallen in love – but too late.

In Aethelgard, a realm of floating islands and twin suns, a beautiful sickness is spreading. The Vitreous Blight, a creeping crystalline corruption, turns every living thing into an exquisite, lifeless statue. Trees weep glass, and petrified animals are frozen in silent, eternal screams. This is the gilded rot that exiled prince Julian has returned home to fight, armed with a desperate plan and a dangerous secret. His secret is Ava Nash, a woman from another world, whose chaotic and uncontrollable magic feels strangely at home in the Aether-rich air of this dying kingdom. Lured by Julian’s lies of a noble quest to find the legendary Resonant Heart and cure his possessed father, Ava finds herself a fugitive in a land of breathtaking horror. Together, they must navigate a treacherous court of beautiful monsters, where every ally is a potential enemy and the King is a hollow vessel for a cosmic, world-devouring entity. A sprawling saga of epic fantasy, intricate political intrigue, and slow-burn romance, this story plunges listeners into a world where nothing is as it seems. Bound by secrets and a reluctant, simmering trust, a dispossessed prince and a woman with the power of a dying star in her veins must unravel a web of betrayal that spans worlds. But as Ava’s power grows, so does the danger. In a kingdom where beauty is a disease, their quest to find a cure may become the very instrument of annihilation.Voir livre
That one who is not a recognized authority or an expert in literature should attempt the solution of a problem which has so far baffled specialists must doubtless appear to many as a glaring act of over- boldness; whilst to pretend to have actually solved this most momentous of literary puzzles will seem to some like sheer hallucination.What I have to propose, however, is not an accidental discovery, but one resulting from a systematic search. And it is to the nature of the method, combined with a happy inspiration and a fortunate chance, that the results here described were reached.These convinced me that the opponents of the orthodox view had made good their case to this extent, that there was no sufficient evidence that the man William Shakspere had written the works with which he was credited, whilst there was a very strong prima facie presumption that he had not. Everything seemed to point to his being but a mask, behind which some great genius, for inscrutable reasons, had elected to work out his own destiny.(Summary by ToddHW, from Introduction)Voir livre
