A great American author once wrote: Any sufficiently analyzed magic is indistinguishable from technology. Or something like that. In the late 90's, scientists at the Superconducting Super Collider in Texas discovered a link to the quantum world that allowed people to manipulate the energy of the universe with thought alone. Now, magic is everywhere and almost anyone is able to use it, with the proper license. It has elevated medicine, science, and culture to stratospheric heights and changed the face of our world. But magic isn't as new as people think. It's been with us for quite some time. And as the saying goes, with great power… Ocelot is a world class assassin with a style all her own. She avoids connections, dislikes obligations, and would sell her own sister to the mob (but just that once) to avoid being drawn into someone else's drama. So, naturally, she is drawn in, and finds herself working with a mage to prevent a major corporation from throwing the delicate balance of science, magic, and the law out the window. Even though there is nothing she would rather do less, but a promise is a promise. And a promise to a dragon is... well, still a promise. But it's also a promise... TO A DRAGON!Voir livre

And who, or what, is the handsome stranger who keeps turning up in her life?Voir livre
When the fake fortune teller receives the gift of the Oracle, it comes with strings attached. Olympic-sized strings. I am no saint and certainly no sacred advisor. Telling people what they want to hear or giving advice is something that has come naturally to me. It's how I earn my bread and butter. However, I have no real gift of prophecy. Or, at least I thought. Turns out my Greek grandparents forgot to tell me one important detail. I'm a direct descendant of the Oracles of Delphi. When my ex lands me in legal trouble, I make a rash decision and sign on to be the next Oracle. I can always get out of the deal, right? Wrong. I've signed my name in blood and that's physically binding to someone of my lineage. Being magical isn't all that it's cracked up to be. Especially, when you find yourself embroiled in an eons old family feud. Now, I must learn to access my oracular gifts and make allies fast or end up like the last Oracle--Dead. Hermes has offered to help me with both, but I've trusted handsome men before and got burnt. That's how I ended up in this position in the first place. Race with me across the United States to the Washington Olympics to claim my position before my enemies can stop me. Fans of K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer, Lindsay Buroker, and Ilona Andrews will love this modern epic.Voir livre

With celestial war on the horizon, and the failure of Earth Project 606 (the rehabilitation of fallen angels and their offspring), the Edentian Council is set to abandon humanity. Only Danielle Peschard, the sole Edentian representative on Earth, can appeal to the council on Earth’s behalf. But can one person truly change the fate of the entire world?A renowned archeologist working for the MET, Danielle Peschard is familiar with the erudite and complex players in New York’s elite circles. She is also keenly aware that things are not as they seem. Earth’s inhabitants use their free will with little concern for cosmic consequences, but Danielle knows the truth—that the Edentian Council, a group of cosmic beings dispassionately monitoring the evolution of the human race, has concluded mankind’s gift of free will to be a mistake that must be corrected.As the only Edentian to be incarnated in a human body, Danielle must reestablish communication with Edentia and disrupt the nefarious plans of those set on enslaving humanity. But just as she attempts to take action, her interstellar communications cut out and she is brutally assaulted. This attack reignites an eternal conflict between the forces operating on Earth, and the only way to prevent Earth’s destruction by cosmic abandonment is for Danielle to present the best humanity has to offer to the Edentian Council as proof of Earth Project 606’s success. In a frantic race across the globe, Danielle must match wits in mortal combat with The Group: a nefarious consortium of planetary tycoons determined to implement a sinister plot—and possibly obliterate the human race.The Edentians extrapolates conflicts from Earth’s present condition and compels readers to wrestle with the origin and purpose of human existence. From Paris and the Vatican to the Egyptian pyramids and the Teotihuacan ruins, Gissele Trussell takes readers on a thrilling speculative journey that untangles webs of corporate greed, political treachery and terrorism against a cosmic, multi-layer plot that examines and challenges modern beliefs about religion and reality.Voir livre
