At twenty-one, after two Seasons with no takers, Theadosia Barrington should have been grateful to snare Nigel Cosgrove. The earl-to-be was a blue-eyed Adonis, a true catch--and surely the incident in Covent Garden was exaggerated. And yet, upon her arrival at Cashel Cosgrove, Thea found herself more intrigued by the Irish castle's legend, that of the tragic Ros Drumcondra. "The Black Falcon" he was called. Part Gypsy, part Celt, the warrior had been conquered by betrayal alone. His ghost was still reputed to wander these halls, making women tremble with fear and desire--for who could resist those burnished copper eyes? Hadn't he stolen away the betrothed of Cian Cosgrove, made the woman his love slave? If only Thea herself could suffer such a fate. If only magic were a reality. If only that Gypsy woman had spoken the truth, and Thea was a woman out of time, the one meant to be...THE FALCON'S BRIDE.

Jon Hyde-White is changed. Soon he will cease to be an earl’s second son and become a ravening monster. Already lust grows, begging him to drink blood—and the blood of his fiancée Cassandra Thorpe will be sweetest of all. Is that not why the blasphemous creature Sebastian bursts upon them from the London shadows? But Sebastian’s evil task remains incomplete, and neither Jon nor Cassandra is beyond hope. One chance remains—in faraway Moldavia, in a secret brotherhood, in an ancient ritual and in the power of love.

When light looks at itself, what does it see? Maybe a fat man eating to fill a lonely heart. Maybe a bored office worker who finally ventures outside to find herself. Perhaps a grieving husband making a choice about where to go next, a girl returning home after surviving a suicide attempt, a homeless person meeting a compassionate stranger, a woman finding her way through love's affronts and contradictions to its moments of grace. What roads does the soul take and what landscapes does it pass through on its journey to freedom? How does the river of change and growth, death and rebirth, move through a life? How does the world we experience reflect either the shadows of the false self or the divine light of the authentic self? Dawn Thompson's stories illuminate the cages we construct for ourselves and the whispers that urge us to break out. schovat popis
