The climate became damaged beyond repair, and not everyone wanted to live in it. Like everything else, the altered meteorologic conditions, known as the Shift, created a society of protected enclaves, and sociopaths surviving out in the charred remains of western North America. The temperate rainforests of the Pacific Northwest were dying, and scientists rushed to grow trees that could survive in this new semi-arid environment. They scavenged the western forests for the hardiest seeds and grew them in a massive nursery complex. During that time, something amazing happened, the trees began to send signals to humans, and scientists rushed to decipher them. Were they omens? A great evolutionary leap forward? No one was quite certain. Extinction loomed. Perhaps the arbors recognized that Homo sapiens were not only their nemesis, but their last hope. Millions of years of evolutionary history gave way and the trees revealed their secrets. The magnitude of this communication changed everything. The anti-science armies would have none of it; they moved across the West like a locust swarm, convinced of their divine mission. They destroyed the last vestiges of learning including the research institutes and the universities. The Shift created societal upheaval, and inflicted deep scars on the landscape, but there was a flicker of hope...the trees.

Quinto secolo dopo Cristo. In una bettola di Samarcanda, il principe Emeka incontra quattro mercenari dall'indole scontrosa, per ingaggiarli come scorta personale. Cosa c'è di strano? Che Emeka sta cercando guerrieri fuori dal comune, esperti nel combattimento contro creature disumane. Il principe stregone sa che li aspetta un viaggio pieno di pericoli. Quel che però neppure Emeka può sapere è che il Passaggio di Rubino lo condurrà ad Adassaya: una dimensione parallela popolata da creature di ogni tipo, dove le leggi degli uomini - e della fisica - valgono poco o nulla. Ma le azioni spesso avventate dello stravagante quintetto - guidato dall'inquieta Naishada - non passeranno inosservate a un'entità demoniaca che si cela dietro i misteri di quel mondo, un nemico che da millenni segna la storia della Terra e che metterà i suoi spietati seguaci sulle loro tracce...Prima parte del dittico fantasy "Cieli senza Sole" in parte di ispirazione storica e in parte Sword and Sorcery, senza rinunciare a sfumature decisamente dark, "L'atlante di Adassaya" di Laura Silvestri è, come per i personaggi del romanzo, la porta verso un nuovo mondo. Che ci insegna in particolare due cose: che per raggiungere un luogo, quello che davvero conta è la volontà di farlo. E che, quando la situazione è di vita o di morte, tutti gettiamo le nostre maschere.
A man hopelessly obsessed with finding the key to an indecipherable 700-year-old manuscript descends into a world of madness populated by ghosts both imagined and real. "Wholly mesmerizing . . . A wonderfully strange and engrossing thriller."-Kirkus Reviews Fast-paced and deeply cerebral . . . Wheeler's writing is adept and entrancing."-Independent Book Review Leonard Stavros claims to speak virtually every language on Earth. He also claims to be a former intelligence agent who specialized in cracking complex codes and ciphers. But then, Leonard is psychotic, his madness fueled by an all-consuming obsession with a 700-year-old book written in what may be the most diabolical cipher ever devised. A cipher Leonard cannot crack, and which torments him with relentless, merciless cackling. Yet even as he fights to escape the book's stranglehold, Leonard meets a beautiful young woman with her own strange fixation. A woman he feels he has met before. Perhaps, he thinks, in a dream. But a woman, nonetheless, who knows Leonard better than he knows himself-and who, it seems, may be his last hope for salvation. From the award-winning author of The Things of Man comes a story of arrogance, loss, and a desperate struggle for redemption.

Ils sont des deux des huit enfants de Milton et Élisabeth Erickson. Lui, c'est Robert, 78 ans et elle, c'est Roxanna, 74 ans. À travers le récit de Céline Spreux, leurs paroles et leurs souvenirs, semblent se mêler à la voix de leur père, Milton Hyland Erickson pour raconter une révolution thérapeutique. Laissez-vous absorber dans une expérience immersive où le récit du développement de l'hypnose ericksonienne devient une invitation à plonger dans la transe. La Maison de l'Hypnose est en effet une exploration fascinante de la vie et des enseignements de Milton Erickson. De la cuisine, où Erickson démontre comment la transe peut être un processus aussi naturel que la préparation d'un repas, à la salle de séjour, où les conversations deviennent des invitations à la transe auto-hypnotique, chaque pièce, chaque objet de la maison d'Erickson sert de toile de fond pour des anecdotes vivantes et des éclairages précieux sur la pratique du Sorcier de Phoenix . À travers les yeux de Roxanna et de Robert, le livre ne se contente pas de raconter l'histoire, il la prolonge. La Maison de l'Hypnose vous invite à une expérience immersive et transformatrice, une opportunité de participer à votre propre transe naturaliste tout en lisant. J'ai vraiment pris beaucoup de plaisir à lire ce texte ! Vous avez fait un beau travail créatif. J'aime beaucoup la manière dont vous avez tressé les trois conversations, avec des invitations à la transe auto-hypnotique.Vous avez fait de la lecture une invitation expérientielle pour le lecteur à participer à sa propre transe naturaliste. (Message de Roxanna Erickson à Céline Spreux). Ouvrez la porte de La Maison de l'Hypnose, et laissez-vous emporter par la vague de transformation qui a changé à jamais le paysage de la psychothérapie. Que vous soyez un praticien cherchant à approfondir votre compréhension de l'hypnose ericksonienne, ou un lecteur simplement curieux de découvrir une perspective unique sur cette pratique thérapeutique, ce livre est un incontournable. Titulaire d'une licence de psychologie clinique, Céline Spreux s'est ensuite formée au coaching, à l'hypnose, et à l'animation d'ateliers d'écriture créative. Autrice de thrillers comme Entrez dans la transe (2019) et Les ombres du mal(2020), elle explore de livres en livres les mystères de l'hypnose et de la psyché à travers des nouvelles et des romans comme Arizona thérapie (2021) et aujourd'hui La Maison de l'hypnose qui va bientôt être traduit en anglais par les héritiers de Milton Erickson. Elle partage désormais son activité entre l'écriture et le coaching en écriture et réécriture.
Every year on my birthday, my tormentor returns to claim one of my firsts. A DARK MAFIA / ARRANGED MARRIAGE ROMANCEOn my sixteenth birthday, a stranger from Corsica shows up at my party. Angelo Russo looks like an angel, but more the kind who decapitates dragons than the kind with soft white wings. He's dark like the ocean and breathless like water. He says he wants all my firsts as if he already owns them, but my father orders me to stay away from this man. No matter how hard I try, I can't escape him. No one can keep me safe. Every year on my birthday, he brings me a gift, each one having a detrimental effect on my life with unimaginable consequences. With every gift he offers, he claims another one of my firsts. Before I know it, he's taken control of my existence, turning me into a nervous wreck, because when I turn eighteen, I know what first he'll come for next. Note: Love Like Poison is the first book in the Corsican Crime Lord series and ends on a cliffhanger. Sabella and Angelo's story continues in Hate Like Honey, Book Two.
