Algunos secretos deberían permanecer enterrados para siempre... Durante los últimos diez años Abby Cormac ha metido entre rejas a algunos de los peores criminales del mundo. Cuando cree que todo eso

Ser diferente no es extraño, todos lo somos, lo complicado es aceptarnos sin complejos. Yo lo intenté, pero luchar contra los tabúes sociales, la discriminación y los miedos no es sencillo. El problema es que los cliches no se rompen asi como asi, y la sociedad tiene muchos. Considera, por ejemplo, que si eres gay debes ser, al mismo tiempo, sensible, cariñoso, divertido, moderno, apasionado de la moda y un estupendo decorador, pero... ¿Que ocurre cuando no cumples con los requisitos? ¿Como luchar contra una sociedad que solo acepta la homosexualidad si la mantienes oculta? ¿Como explicar que se puede ser medico, policia, abogado, arquitecto, bombero, deportista de elite y al mismo tiempo, gay? ¿Que hacer cuando el miedo puede mas que la logica?Mis parejas me obligaron, por miedo al que diran, a construir un armario donde refugiarme, y aunque no queria, lo hice. Lo hice por ellos. Pero una vida, o mejor dicho, una doble vida, no es lo mas recomendable para la salud mental de cualquier ser humano porque... ¿Se puede sobrevivir con dignidad siendo una cosa hoy y otra mañana?Mi armario aparecia y desaparecia segun las circunstancias. Era algo asi como un armario fantasma del que echaba mano cuando el amor o el miedo me lo exigia, pero despues de tantos golpes, tantas puñaladas y tanto sufrimiento innecesario, decidi enterrarlo para no utilizarlo jamas.

theDeep in the heart of London, the Monsalvat Bank is small, secretive and wealthy. When Ellie Stanton, an impoverished graduate student, is unexpectedly invited to join the firm, the privileged world they offer looks too good to turn down. But the bank is more than it seems.

¿Pagaría el máximo precio por alcanzar el conocimiento supremo? Nunca he plasmado los secretos más ocultos que descubrí, ni lo haré jamás… Hace dos mil quinientos años, el filósofo Platón viajó a Ita

Byzantium, 1096. When a mysterious assassin looses his arrow at the emperor, he has more than a man in his sights; the keystone of a crumbling empire, he is the solitary figure holding its enemies in check. If he falls, then the mightiest power in Christendom will be torn apart. Aware of the stakes, the emperor hires Demetrios Askiates, the unveiler of mysteries, to catch the would-be-killer. But Demetrios is entering an unknown world, a babbling cauldron of princes, slaves, mercenaries, pimps and eunuchs. From the depths of the slums to the golden towers of the palace, and from the sands of the hippodrome to the soaring domes of Ayia Sophia, he must edge his way through a glittering maze of treachery and deceit before time runs out. Nor are all the enemies within the city walls. With the Turks rampant across Asia, the emperor has sent to the west for mercenaries to reinforce his position. He gets more than he bargained for, however, when a great army, tens of thousands strong, appears before the gates. The first crusaders have arrived, intent on making their fortunes in war, and they have no allegiance to an empire they eye with jealousy and suspicion. As the armies of east and west confront each other, and the assassin creeps ever closer to his prey, Demetrios must untangle the golden web of intrigue which surrounds the emperor before the city - and the empire - are drowned in blood.

Constantinopla, 1096. El mayor imperio de la cristiandad corre el riesgo de ser destruido cuando una mano misteriosa dispara una flecha dirigida al corazón del emperador Alejo. La flecha yerra el blanco, pero la alarma se extiende por todo el palacio: si Alejo cae, Bizancio entera sera destruida.Demetrio Askiates, desvelador de misterios, antiguo legionario y cazador de recompensas al servicio del imperio, es rapidamente requerido para atrapar al criminal e impedir que este alcance su funesto objetivo. El veterano detective, curtido en los bajos fondos, debera adentrarse en un mundo desconocido: un hervidero de principes, esclavos, eunucos y mercaderes, donde se vera desafiado a desenredar una nebulosa trama de intrigas.

1098. The armies of the First Crusade race across Asia minor, routing the Turks and reclaiming the land for Christendom. But on the Syrian border, their advance is halted before the impregnable walls of Antioch. As winter draws on, they are forced to suffer a fruitless, interminable siege, gnawed by famine and tormented by the Turkish defenders. The entire crusade is on the verge of collapse. His lord, the ruthlessly ambitious Bohemond charges Demetrios Askiates to find the killer. But as Demetrios investigates, the trail seems to lead ever deeper into the vipers'' nest of jealousy, betrayal and fanaticism which lies at the heart of the crusade.

August, 1098. After countless battles and sieges, the surviving soldiers of the first crusade are at last within reach of their ultimate goal: Jerusalem. But rivalries fester and new enemies are massing against them in the Holy Land. Demetrios Askiates, the Emperor''s spy, has had enough of the crusade''s violence and hypocrisy. He longs to return home. But when a routine diplomatic mission leads to a deadly ambush, he realises he has been snared in the vast power struggles which underlie the crusade. The only way out now leads through the Holy City. From the plague-bound city of Antioch to the heart of Muslim Egypt, Demetrios must accompany the army of warlords and fanatics to the very gates of Jerusalem where the crusade climaxes in an apocalypse of pillage, bloodshed and slaughter.
