In novel after novel, and story after story, Charles de Lint has brought an entire imaginary North American city to vivid life. Newford: where magic lights dark streets; where myths walk clothed in modern shapes; where a broad cast of extraordinary and affecting people work to keep the whole world turning.
At the center of all the entwined lives in Newford stands a young artist named Jilly Coppercorn, with her tangled hair, her paint-splattered jeans, a smile perpetually on her lips--Jilly, whose paintings capture the hidden beings that dwell in the city's shadows. Now, at last, de Lint tells Jilly's own story...for behind the painter's fey charm lies a dark secret and a past she's labored to forget. And that past is coming to claim her now.
"I'm the onion girl," Jilly Coppercorn says. "Pull back the layers of my life, and you won't find anything at the core. Just a broken child. A hollow girl." She's very, very good at running. But life has just forced Jilly to stop. Views: 192

Innumerable ages have passed since Menelaus Montrose last beheld his loved Rania, who departed the Milky Way long ago to plead for humanity before the authority whose inhuman laws govern the Orion Arm. Man has altered himself by forced evolution and created godlike machines, larger than worlds, which now determine human destiny. But a new star burns in the skies of Earth: it is the celestial vessel of Rania, returning, Montrose hopes, with the cliometric equations promising equality, peace and liberation.
In the barren wastes of Torment, the world that is home to the last and most distant human colony, Montrose and his equally immortal rival, Del Azarchel, meet again, this time in a common cause to discover the fate of Rania, of humanity, and of the galaxy itself.
The alien monstrosities of Ain at long last are revealed, their hidden past laid bare, along with the reason for their brutal treatment of humanity and all the species seeded throughout the Orion Arm. And they have still one more secret that could upend everything Montrose has fought for and lived so long to achieve. Views: 192
A full-length, paranormal romance novel.
For the last decade, eighteen-year-old Laikyn has lived in the Common Realm with humans, believing she was human. She can’t remember her life before she was eight-years-old, but what she does know is she fears the paranormal creatures from the other realms, particularly werewolves. And for a good reason.
A year ago, Laikyn was attacked by two werewolves. She survived only because Legend, a banished vampire, saved her.
The scars left behind from the attack haven’t healed yet, and neither has her fear of werewolves. So when Legend decides to take her on a trip to the Midnight Realm, where night creatures like werewolves roam free, she’s more than nervous, but agrees to go.
The moment Laikyn meets Jules, the tortured, gothic werewolf prince of the Violet Mountain pack, she feels a spark of desire almost instantly. She wants nothing more than to take away his pain, but refuses to act on her feelings.
She soon discovers the spark is more than just an attraction. That Jules is connected to her past and that she’s the very creature she fears and hates. Having no other choice, she stays in the Midnight Realm so Jules can help her rediscover her werewolf roots and figure out why she can’t remember her past.
But unlike Jules, not every werewolf wants Laikyn to remember. And she may be in danger from werewolves again.
