Par Ana Paula Ruth Lima, Mariela Saravia. 2017
Com a morte de Donovan, Kiele deixe de se sentir parte de Londres e de Adolf, aquele homem que tanto…
ama, pois seu sangue inglês foi à maldição de seu povo. Trabalha em diferentes ofícios, até que chega a uma família londrina estabelecida na China e se transforma na instrutora da filha de um poderoso empresário. Rubén Mosses é um homem de poder, que procura a forma de fazê-la sua amante, mas quando Kiele está disposta da lhe dar uma relação extra-matrimonial, estoura a Segunda Guerra do Ópio, que a obriga se separar daquela família que a acolheu por seis anos e, sobretudo, da menina Catarina que nessa época já era uma jovem de quinze anos. Diante da noticia de que a China se encontra em Guerra de novo, Adolf McColl realiza a viajem para China que estava adiando, agora não em busca de tecidos para seu império, mas sim para proteger a única mulher que amou e segue amando. Mas, as visões da morte não o deixam em paz, e a dúvida de não saber se Kiele está viva ou morta, lhe torturam até o cansaço.Pérola de Lótus: Uma intrusa

Par Anna Mazzola. 2022
Paris, 1750. In the midst of an icy winter, as birds fall frozen from the sky, chambermaid Madeleine Chastel arrives…
at the home of the city's celebrated clockmaker and his clever, unworldly daughter. Madeleine is hiding a dark past, and a dangerous purpose: to discover the truth of the clockmaker's experiments and record his every move, in exchange for her own chance of freedom. For as children quietly vanish from the Parisian streets, rumours are swirling that the clockmaker's intricate mechanical creations, bejewelled birds and silver spiders, are more than they seem. And soon Madeleine fears that she has stumbled upon an even greater conspiracy. One which might reach to the very heart of Versailles... A intoxicating story of obsession, illusion and the price of freedom.Antony and Cleopatra (First Avenue Classics ™)
Par William Shakespeare. 2018
Two years after the assassination of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, three men—Octavius Caesar, Lepidus, and Mark Antony—rule the Roman…
Republic. Antony should be in Rome, helping to stop Pompey's rebel army, but he rarely leaves the side of his lover, Egypt's beautiful Queen Cleopatra. With war against Pompey imminent and tensions deepening between Rome's rulers, Antony agrees to marry Caesar's sister as a show of political loyalty. But Caesar has grander plans: he defeats Pompey, imprisons Lepidus, and then turns his sights on Antony. Can Cleopatra and Antony hope to stand against Caesar's powerful navy? A tale of ill-fated romance and warring empires, this is an unabridged version of one of English playwright William Shakespeare's last great tragedies, first performed in 1607 and published in Shakespeare's First Folio in 1623.A Courtesan's Worth: BRIDGERTON meets MOULIN ROUGE in this opposites-attract Regency!
