      Sookie Stackhouse enjoys her job as a cocktail waitress in Merlotte's, a small-town bar in small-town Bon Temps, deep in Louisiana. She's funny and pretty and, thanks to her grandmother, she's very well-mannered - but since not many people truly appreciate her ability to read their minds, the guys haven't exactly been beating down her door...And then along came Bill, tall, dark and handsome - and Sookie couldn't 'hear' a word he was thinking. He was exactly the type of guy she'd been waiting all her life for. Of course, Bill had a disability of his own: fussy about his food, not into suntans, bit of a night person: yep, Bill was a vampire.But at least now Sookie knows there *are* guys she can date who won't worry about her catching them thinking about other women - and that's going to make Sookie's life really interesting!

      Sookie Stackhouse sta attraversando un periodo difficile. Il suo collega e amico Lafayette è stato assassinato: sembra che a ucciderlo sia stato il rampollo della famiglia più aristocratica di Bon Temps, la cittadina in cui la protagonista vive. Come se non bastasse, Sookie si trova improvvisamente di fronte a una creatura sanguinaria che le assesta un colpo quasi mortale. I vampiri non aspettavano altro: le succhieranno via il sangue avvelenato dalle vene salvandole così la vita. Quando uno di loro le chiederà di utilizzare le sue doti telepatiche per aiutarlo a rintracciare un compagno misteriosamente scomparso, Sookie sarà costretta ad accettare. Ben presto si ritroverà a Dallas, tra le strade e i locali trendy frequentati dagli amici e dagli ammiratori dei vampiri.

    • Život v ospalom južanskom mestečku Bon Temps narušia dve udalosti – záhadná vražda mladej ženy a príchod upírov, ktorí sa tomuto miestu dosiaľ vyhýbali. Mladá čašníčka Sookie Stackhousová si nemohla vybrať lepší čas, kedy si s jedným z nich začať! Po prvej vražde však nasleduje druhá a tretia. Vrah si očividne vyberá obete podľa rovnakého kľúča. Sú to mladé dievčatá, ktoré pracujú ako čašníčky alebo predavačky a občas si rady zašantia s upírmi. Opis sa dokonale hodí aj na Sookie... V kolotoči ľúbostných dobrodružstiev, bojujúcich upírov a rastúceho napätia Sookie okrem mocného priateľa pomáha aj jej nevšedná schopnosť čítať ľudské myšlienky. O upíroch sa dozvie veľa: či im naozaj chutí cesnak, ako často sa holia, ako milujú, ale niektoré tajomstvá sa rozplietajú veľmi pomaly...

      Elbryan and Pony--soul mates from childhood who grew even closer over time--fervently hope that the tide of darkness is at last receding from the land of Corona. Yet if evil is on the retreat, why are hordes of goblins and bloody-capped powries slashing their way ever-deeper into civilized lands? A sinister threat now looms over Corona, for the power of the demon dactyl was not entirely vanquished by the sacrifice of the monk Avelyn Desbris. Instead, its darkness has infiltrated the most sacred of places--as a once-admired spiritual leader rededicates his life to the most vicious, most insidious revenge against the forces of good. There may be no stopping the spread of the malignant evil . . .

Salvatore creates an astonishing new world for readers to explore--and an intrepid hero to lead the way: Elbryan Wynden, who must confront the dark tides of destiny in his epic search for justice and peace . . .

Pray that they don't fall into the wrong, clawed hands . . .

    • When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be… Luck in the Shadows.

      Il XXI secolo è alla fine. Trent'anni sono passati da quando il pacifico Milieu Galattico ha accolto la Terra nella sua federazione e presto l'umanità sarà chiamata a far parte dell'Unità, la mente collettiva che raccoglie le razze aliene dell'universo. Ma non tutti ci credono. Un gruppo di ribelli, il cui numero cresce ogni giorno, trama per salvaguardare l'individualità della razza umana. E i ribelli hanno un sostenitore segreto: Furia, l'insana creatura metapsichica che non si ferma davanti a nulla pur di raggiungere ilsuo scopo ed esercitare il pieno controllo sull'umanità.
