      Čo si prajete, keď vás nikto nevidí? Čo si prajete, keď sú svetlá zhasnuté? Čo si prajete, keď ste anonymní? Keď hovoríme o sexe, hovoríme o ženstve a materstve, nevere a vykorisťovaní, súhlase a úcte, spravodlivosti a rovnosti, láske a nenávisti, potešení a bolesti. A predsa o tom toľko z nás vôbec nehovorí. V tejto prelomovej knihe Gillian Anderson zhromažďuje a predstavuje anonymné sexuálne fantázie žien z celého sveta (spolu so svojou vlastnou anonymnou príspevkom). Tieto fantázie sú mimoriadne: plné túžby, strachu, intimity, hanby, uspokojenia a nakoniec oslobodenia. Od snívania o niekom, kto je mimo dosahu, po vyvolávanie scény s viacerými partnermi, od jemného a nežného sexu po vášnivý a hravý, od žien, ktoré nikdy nemali sex, po ženy, ktoré mali viac sexu, než si pamätajú, tieto fantázie poskytujú pohľad do najtajnejšej časti našich myslí. Túžba odhaľuje, ako ženy cítia o sexe, keď majú slobodu byť úplne samy sebou.

      Imagine a sisterhood - across all creeds and cultures. An unspoken agreement that we, as women, will support and encourage one another. That we will remember we don't know what struggles each of us may be facing elsewhere in our lives and so we will assume that each of us is doing our best...

      From Gillian Anderson, star of the X-Files, and New York Times bestselling coauthor Jeff Rovin comes the second book in the thrilling paranormal series Earthend Saga that began with A Vision of Fire, which Marie Claire called “addictive!” After uncovering a mystical link to the ancient civilization of Galderkhaan, child psychologist Caitlin O’Hara is left with strange new powers. Suddenly she can heal her young patients with her mind and see things from other places and other times. But as she learns more about her powers, she also realizes that someone is watching her, perhaps hunting her—and using her son to do it. Meanwhile Mikel Jasso, a field agent for a mysterious research organization, is searching for Galderkhaani ruins in Antarctica. After falling down a crevasse, he discovers the entire city has been preserved under ice and that the mysterious stone artifacts he’s been collecting are not as primitive as he thought. As Mikel and Caitlin work to uncover the mysteries of the Galderkhaani, they realize that the person hunting Caitlin and the stones may be connected in ways they never knew possible. “Fans of Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child will find a lot to like” (Publishers Weekly) in the Earthend Saga, and this latest adventure is sure to leave you gasping for breath as Caitlin races against time to save what’s dearest to her heart.
