Quotes from the book:

- (p. 49, title of short story) Camp Colby
- (p. 53) Ely stared out into the night toward the abandoned mine. As if on cue, a coyote howled in the distance. "Have you ever heard them moaning?" he asked Badger.
- (p. 53) But being in there made me really curious about what had happened to the miners, so afterward I read up on the disaster. It was a terrible thing for those men to be been deserted the way they were.

Great! Glad you found your obook, Nirei.

Quote from the book:

[First paragraph:] There I was, lying on the front lawn in plain sight with a knife in my back. Actually that was the effect I was going for, and to be perfectly honest, I think it looked pretty good - from the street. I had gone to a lot of trouble in order to create the illusion that I'd been murdered. First, I borrowed Mom's kitchen knife (the big one) and planted it firmly in the dirt.

Kirkus Review:

- "A courtesan uses her power of intuition to save a Hyhborn immortal.
After growing up in an orphanage, Calista made a deal with Claude, the Baron of Archwood. In exchange for his protection and a place in his court, Calista agrees to use her magical abilities to gather information for him. Her intuition is so powerful that she's compelled to follow its directives, and she can also divine a person’s future by touching them, skills unusual in a lowborn human. Calista values the safety and security of this arrangement even though she has the uneasy feeling that her skills have made her a pawn in a political game she doesn’t understand. One night, she overhears a strange conversation about an immortal being in trouble, and her intuition forces her to investigate. Calista finds Thorne, the Prince of Vytrus and right hand of King Euros, being tortured and drained of blood to be sold on the black market for use in illegal bone magic. ... "

Thanks Reader. I replaced the topic header with Google's translation. Feel free to edit it. Your original header was: "Un chico llamado Eric/Erik, sucede en Noruega, en su juventud su abuela salía con un guardia nazi, tiene fotos y cartas entre ellos."

What's the genre (which we need to add to the header) - e.g., fiction for teens or adults? mystery, historical fiction (two time periods), literary fiction, nonfiction memoir, etc.?
