Ebbene stavo parlando di Nocturne di Kat Ross. Sequel della serie del Quarto Elemento, edito grazie alla Dunwich Edizioni.
Snow beat against the invisible barrier of air sheltering the high holdfast of Val Moraine. The storms rarely paused, a result of the extreme geography on the eastern edge of the dark continent of Nocturne. The currents lifted moist air from the White Sea and carried it over the mountains, where it froze and turned to snow. Val Moraine had been carved out of limestone and glacial ice atop the highest precipice, a testament to the Avas Valkirin’s disdain for lowlander luxuries like breathable air.
Even with the poor visibility, the view from the keep was spectacular. Just enough moonlight leaked through the cloud cover to reveal majestic peaks marching to the horizon, and beyond that, the dark, heaving mass of the sea.
Culach could picture it in his mind’s eye with perfect clarity. He pulled the furs closer around his naked body. He couldn’t stand to wear leathers anymore. The worst of his burns had healed, but they’d left him with an exquisite sensitivity. The lightest touch lit his nerve endings on fire.
His jade eyes faced the stone ceiling, but what he saw was the vast dome of the sky, the spray of stars, hard and cold as jewels in the velvet blackness. He spent his time in this way now. His greatest fear was that he would forget and then there would be nothing left but darkness. So he made sure to remember. To painstakingly summon up the smallest details of things. The luminous blue of the glaciers when Artemis returned from her travels. The pommel of his sword. His sister’s eyes.
