Caldera has forever been divided into the animals who walk by night and those who walk by day. Nightwalker panthers, like young Mez and her sister, have always feared daywalkers as creatures of myth and legend. Then Mez discovers that she can enter the daylight world, and she rushes to discover what it means to cross the Veil—and the extent of her newly uncovered magical powers—before a reawakened evil threatens everything she’s ever known. Now, with an unlikely group of animal friends—including a courageous bat, a scholarly tree frog, and an anxious monkey—Mez must unravel an ancient mystery and face her greatest fears, if they are to have any hope of saving their endangered rainforest home.

Book Description
"This book accompanies the exhibition "Lost Magic Kingdoms" created by Eduardo Paolozzi at the Museum of Mankind in 1985. For the exhibition Paolozzi has selected several hundred items from the Museum's vast collections and numerous historical photographs from its archives. Long fascinated by the non-Western world and its artefacts, Paolozzi's choice expresses a vision he has developed over the last half-century of "Lost Magic Kingdoms", powerful realms of the imagination. This book with its photographs chosen by Paolozzi, is intended to show that vision, to relate it to his own work and illustrate the artist's belief in the power of museum collections to stimulate new directions of thought and creation. It contains a statement by, and an interview with, Paolozzi, and essays by Dawn Ades, Christopher Frayling and M.D. McLeod."--Page 4 de la couverture.

***Nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award and a Nebula Award*** EVERY EMPIRE DEMANDS REVOLUTION. Touraine is a soldier. Stolen as a child and raised to kill and die for the empire, her only loyalty is to her fellow conscripts. But now, her company has been sent back to her homeland to stop a rebellion, and the ties of blood may be stronger than she thought. Luca needs a turncoat. Someone desperate enough to tiptoe the bayonet's edge between treason and orders. Someone who can sway the rebels toward peace, while Luca focuses on what really matters: getting her uncle off her throne. Through assassinations and massacres, in bedrooms and war rooms, Touraine and Luca will haggle over the price of a nation. But some things aren't for sale.
