El 2 de octubre no se olvida. A partir de testimonios de víctimas, estudiantes, maestros, padres de familia, periodistas, intelectuales, así como de agentes del estado opresor y de quienes no simpatizaban con la causa, se hilan los tensos momentos alrededor de la represión del Movimiento Estudiantil de 1968 que sembraría una nueva conciencia política y que no pudo ser silenciado ni por el más cruel de los autoritarismos: el que asesina a los jóvenes y les roba sus sueños.

Pedro y Elizabeth no se conocían y nada indicaba que hubiera entre ellos la menor afinidad, salvo que la infelicidad de ambos los había llevado a ponerse en manos del mismo psiquiatra. El doctor Weiss supo intuir que Pedro y Elizabeth estaban ligados indisolublemente.

Viscount Hawthorne makes a drunken wager at a scandalous masquerade ball: he bets he can seduce the next unmarried woman to walk through the door. That woman turns out to be Miss Arabella Fairweather, an outspoken bluestocking who’s attending her very first ball under protest. Rather than storm off, Arabella proposes a challenge of her own: if he can seduce her, he must then agree to marry her—and give her complete control of his estate. Let the games begin.

The trials will last 60 days. They can happen anytime, anyplace, and anyone or anything is fair game. I won’t see them coming. I’ll need to be ready at all times. Prepared to fight, to steal, to save, and to kill at Diesel St. Crow’s command. While I sit on standby, he’s ordered his sons to keep an eye on me, and they’ve become my own personal wardens. But as truths are dragged out of the shadows and new dangers emerge, I may be forced to accept that they are more than armed roadblocks in my path. They might also be my only hope of survival.

Una donna ancora giovane, serena e appagata, tutt’altro che inattiva nel cerchio sicuro della famiglia, viene abbandonata all’improvviso dal marito e precipita in un gorgo scuro e antico.

Comincia a questo punto una caduta rovinosa, un racconto che cattura e trascina fino al fondo più nero, più dolente dell’esperienza femminile.
