A new translation of this moving novel about the destructive power of greed. Poor Cécile! And yet she was still young. Maigret had seen her papers: barely 28 years old. But it would be difficult to look more like an old maid, to move less gracefully, in spite of the care she took to be friendly and pleasant. Those black dresses that she must make for herself from bad paper patterns, that ridiculous green hat!

Doch als er dem Rätsel auf den Grund geht, bringt er nicht nur sich selbst in große Gefahr.

Elysium was not unused to being the odd one out in his family. There were so many differences between him and his twin siblings that he could count the similarities on one hand (and that included shared parents). Knowing some of the challenges plaguing his family in both the light and dark realms, he is determined to find answers. When he meets someone equally as determined from the dark court, it almost feels as though he's met the missing part of himself.

Melisande had never felt like she fit in. Being a light fae princess with dark fae inclinations was not necessarily something you advertised to your royal family. When an evil strikes and leaves her comatose, it allows some exploration into the dark magic she is drawn to. Upon waking, it will be time to decide whether she will live a lie or embrace her true self. Ambrose’s life goals were simple. Exist as a foster of the dark realm, ensure the royal family’s comfort and safety, and stay under the radar.

Cillian is no stranger to the pull of dark magic as he is the son of both the Dark realm Princess and the Light realm Prince. What doesn't help is that he may have been further infused with dark magic as a child, during an abduction. The only person with insight into that, however, is not talking. When Cillian finds himself drawn to a human woman in the dream realm, he discovers his dark nature may be worsening her health in the waking realm. Despite trying to reverse this by no longer visiting her, he will find it's harder to give up their visits than he thought.
