Accompanied on her quest by a warrior who may prove to be more than he seems, Clodagh will have her courage tested to breaking point. The reward may be far greater than she ever dreamed...

El poemari Fulles de llorer tanca el cicle iniciat amb el primer publicat per lautora en aquesta mateixa editorial: Lamistat de les pedres, dara fa deu anys. La mirada atenta sobre el paisatge del primer es transforma en un plany no dit per la desaparicio de referents propers en aquest segon. Camins de terra, marges, arbres molt vells, ara deixen dexistir. El paisatge que anomenavem sempre desapareix, i amb ell les paraules que feiem servir. La reconstruccio de la masia del Molinet suposa, pero, un gest desperança: Parlo dun moli que va ser./ Duna cuina de rajoles blaves./ Dun cup que reposa. Daquesta terra triada,/ on sempre macull una casa. Una masia dabans del segle XIII que guarda, entre passadissos daigua i pedres de moli, a tocar de les vinyes, la memoria ben arrelada. El llorer que hi viu al costat ho sap. Els versos daquest llibre, com les fulles daquest llorer, testimonien lherencia dun tresor silenciat. El llibre es divideix en tres parts. La primera, El Molinet, descriu lindret daquest toponim situat al municipi de Banyeres del Penedes. Es tracta de la masia don provenen els avantpassats de lautora. La segona part, Marges caiguts, posa de manifest latac injust i insalvable que pateix el nostre entorn natural mes proper. I la tercera part, Petxines fossils, es un recorregut esperançador a traves de camins antics, records dinfantesa i espais oberts.

El poemario Hojas de laurel cierra el ciclo iniciado con el primero publicado por la autora en esta misma editorial: La amistad de las piedras, de hace diez años.

In a novel of international intrigue, an American lawyer, Damon Pierce, attempts to save Bobby Okari, the West African leader of a protest movement, from execution by the country's corrupt and autocratic leader. Complicating matters further is Okari's wife, Marissa Brand, with whom Pierce had a relationship years before that he's never quite forgotten; she, in fact, persuaded him to take the case in the first place, and it is who she plays a crucial role in the eventual outcome...Culminating in a dramatic show trial and a desperate race against time, "Eclipse" combines a thrilling narrative with a vivid look at the human cost of the global lust for oil. 'Every now and then - but a lot more rarely than that implies - you come across a thriller so important that it absolutely demands to be read. This is one' - "The Times on Exile".

This is a gripping tale of ancient Rome from the bestselling author of the astoundingly successful "Alexander" trilogy. March, 44 BC. Rome, in all her glory, has expanded her territories beyond the wildest dreams of her citizens, led by Caius Julius Caesar - Pontifex Maximus, dictator perpetuo, invincible military leader and only fifty-six years old.

However his god-given mission - to end the blood-splattered fratricidal wars, reconcile implacably hostile factions and preserve Roman civilization and world order - is teetering dangerously close to collapse...His power is draining away. None of his supporters can stop the inexorably evolving plot against him and prophecy will explode into truth on the Ides of March and the world will change forever. This is political thriller laced through with all the intrigue and action surrounding one of the most crucial turning points in the history of western civilization.
