Illumé

publisher — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 05:22:36 +0000

Thane da Silva works for the Subrosa Negri, a secretive department charged with keeping the peace between the mundane and the Pale, those beings with a little touch of the supernatural in their genetic makeup. As the full blue moon casts a glow over Paris, Thane’s search for a pair of romantics performing a doomed ritual is just the beginning of an elaborate charade of mirrors and strange communiqués.

By turns macabre and whimsical, gothic and pop-cultural, Illumé will take you on a lavish journey into the shadows of the City of Light.

Schoolteacher Olivia lives a lonely but safe life in the home of her late foster parents, a home she is about to lose.

As Olivia and the brothers are about to discover, sometimes paths intersect more than once.
