A forest princess and a demon boy collide in this friends-to-enemies-to-forbidden-lovers romantic fantasy by #1 New York Times bestselling author Elly Blake.Once upon a time, a young forest princess became friends with a lonely demon boy. He gifted her a ring, a worthless trinket . . . or so he thought. Because no sooner did he slide it onto her finger than the demon queen and forest king declared war.Years later, Cassia is a crucial force in her father''s army, wielding her ring of light against hundreds of demons at a time. Then battle-hardened Zeru abducts her, planning to steal back the ring to fix his childhood mistake.Terrified, and more than a little mistrusting, Cassia is forced to travel with Zeru to a place they both believed only existed in storybooks, one where their friendship slowly rekindles into something much more. But it''s only a matter of time before the war they''ve escaped comes for them, and a hidden threat to forest folk and demon alike grows in the shadows.- fr

布雷克，神秘的詩人與跨領域藝術家。 曾說幻視或想像(Visionary or Imaginary)乃創作之本質。 四歲時窗外閃現上帝的臉。曾經看見田野上棲了一整樹的天使，和早逝幼弟的靈魂穿過屋頂，飛升而逝。 樸素的生活中處處是神蹟，他的詩畫創作卻虔誠又褻瀆，游走於純真與瘋狂之間。早期詩作靜觀萬物，寄情於天人合一的和諧自然，寓功利社會、文明理性與宗教之批判於田園牧歌與永恆的赤子情懷；後期屢以奔放不羈的隱喻與象徵超越語言與表象束縛，拓展讀者的直觀與想像力，在氣魄壯闊的異象中探索人心與命運，讚美力與自由意志，肯定了解放之必要與救贖的希望。 本詩集選自《詩的素描》(Poetical Sketches, 1783)、《天真與經驗之歌》(Songs of Innocence and of Experience, 1794)、《塞爾書》(The Book of Thel, 1789-1791)、《阿爾比恩女兒們的夢幻》(Visions of the Daughters of Albion, 1793)、《天國與地獄的婚姻》(The Marriage of Heaven and Hell, 1790-1793)、《自由之歌》(A Song of Liberty, 1792)，另擷取筆記本手稿(Notebook, 1793-1803)中鮮為人知的珠璣小品。著名中國翻譯家張熾恆的譯筆洗鍊雋永，悉心評介布雷克的生平、哲思與中譯要領，值得沉潛往復，從容含玩。另因布雷克的創作必須結合詩畫來閱讀與詮釋，編者特選精采好站，悠遊諦視布雷克的百色風景，宇宙精微。

From the No.1 International Bestselling author of The Atlas SixCHICAGO, SOMETIME. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change.Everything else, however, is slightly different.Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes.ALONE WITH YOU IN THE ETHER is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken.Reader re
