More than a thousand years ago, the first people arrived in Umbra. Umbra became their home, homeland and refuge. There is enough space in these lands for everyone: countries ruled by noble dynasties, an independent city of a merchant guild and a pirate nest called the Free Society. After an attempt is made on the heir to the throne and his guard, the library of the Academy, where the magical abilities of the Seers are developed, is robbed.
Among the stolen books is one that describes an attempt to erase the boundary between life and death. Why will the paths of the lieutenant of the Guard, a student of the Academy, Doren es Tua, and the spy of the Emperor of Cinta, Pien Du Giuili, who was forced to flee her homeland, cross? And what do the increasingly frequent shadows of the mist in Umbra mean?

Paul Sheldon thought he was finally free. He had just killed Misery Chastain. He felt relief and joy after doing so. Misery was the main character in his best-selling romance series that had made him rich. But now she was dead. And Paul could start writing serious stuff.
Polo's ambitious plans are disrupted by a car accident. Bound in splints and in excruciating pain, he wakes up in a secluded cabin in the Rocky Mountains. It soon turns out to belong to his rescuer, Anne Vilks.
The good news is that Ane used to work as a nurse in a hospital and has an endless supply of painkillers at home. The bad news is that she has long been Paul's biggest fan. And when she finds out what Paul did to Mizere, the woman is not happy. Quite the opposite, actually...
Anne demands that Paul continue the story of Misery by writing a new novel. The best one, and one for her alone. The man, confined to a wheelchair and unable to live without medication, is in serious trouble. Anne's pressure is very persistent and cruel. But writers also have their own weapons

The two of them climbed the first landing. They were about ten steps from the bottom. It was a game children played, challenging each other to jump higher and higher. Frank took her hand. Cleo squeezed his hand in hers. And they both jumped down.
New York is slipping away from Cleo. Yes, she's partying, but she has almost no friends. Her student visa is about to expire, and she doesn't even have money for cigarettes. But then Cleo meets Frank. A man nearly twenty years her senior, his life is filled with the success and excess that Cleo lacks. Frank offers her the chance to be happy, the freedom to paint, and the chance to get a green card. Cleo offers him a life of beauty and art - and a reason to drink less. For each other, they are everything they both want at the moment.
Cleo and Frank plunge headlong into a love affair. Events unfold so quickly that both of them find themselves gasping for breath. Not only their lives are changed, but also the lives of those around them: Cleo's best friend, who is trying to come to terms with his sexual identity in the face of her marriage, and Frank's sister, who is financially dependent on him. Ultimately, a chance meeting between the two strangers after a New Year's Eve party changes everything - for better or for worse

Genre: Short Stories

The collection of short stories and novellas 'A Crack in the Sky' reveals a reflection of a fractured, cracked human worldview, seeking to restore a picture of coherence and harmony at any cost. The writer presents simple, easily recognizable everyday moments and details as important existential truths, striking with their unusualness, which shock and force us to rethink essential values. The characters in the works - regardless of age and social status - are united by feelings of self-recognition and search, a desire to rely on something that would provide a sense of security in life for a person who is often confused and experiencing existential anxiety

We meet Grace in prison, but the conflict in the novel goes deeper than the typical detective story. Grace's story, like Lady Macbeth, is full of the insanely passionate rebellion of a woman. It is a tense cocktail of desires, intrigues and murders. Duplicitous people who sip wine on weekends and have an opinion on everything, sitting in front of flat-screen TVs streaming Netflix, ordinary Londoners who live their lives like in the movie 'Whistleblower Day' for years; Instagram influencers who promote an exaggerated healthy lifestyle - this is a spiderweb of characters who, like pieces of a puzzle, create an extraordinary and crazy story
