Olivie Blake

    27. august 1988

    Olivie Blake je milovníčka a autorka príbehov, z ktorých mnohé zahŕňajú fantastické, paranormálne či nadprirodzené prvky, ale nie vždy. Častejšie sa jej diela zameriavajú na to, čo znamená byť človekom (alebo nie), a na nekonečne zaujímavé komplexnosti života a lásky. Blake sa vo svojej tvorbe venuje hlbokým otázkam existencie a medziľudských vzťahov s citom pre nuansy a psychologickú hĺbku. Jej jedinečný štýl spočíva v spojení prvkov nadprirodzená s prenikavým pohľadom na ľudskú dušu, čím vytvára diela, ktoré čitateľov nútia k zamysleniu.

      Šesť mágov, dve súperiace strany a muž, ktorý dokáže vstupovať do snov, sa musia rozhodnúť, či chcú zachovať svet alebo ho zničiť. V pokračovaní Atlasovej šestky sa Alexandrijské spoločenstvo odhalí ako tajná spoločnosť s nepredstaviteľnou mocou, vedená mužom, ktorý plánuje zmeniť svet. Cena za poznanie je vysoká a tí, ktorí túžia po moci, musia zvoliť stranu: aké spojenectvá prežijú a aké nepriateľstvá sa prehlbujú? Tento temný príbeh z akademického prostredia je bestsellerom New York Times a ponúka ešte viac túžby, úskokov, zrady a chaosu. Autorka, Olivie Blake, je pseudonym Alexene Farol Follmuthovej, ktorá sa zameriava na fantastiku a paranormálne javy, ale aj na zložitosti života a lásky. Vydala niekoľko projektov vrátane románu pre mladých dospelých a grafických sérií. Olivie žije v Los Angeles so svojím manželom, bábätkom a zachráneným pitbulom. Recenzie označujú príbeh za delikátny súboj dôvtipu, vôle a vášne, kombinujúci záhadu a hádanku, čo z neho robí úplné potešenie.
