The final installment to the Cat and Mouse Duet... The Diamond Death walks alongside me, But the reaper is no match for me. I'm trapped in a world full of monsters dressed as men, and those who aren't as they seem. They won't keep me forever. I no longer recognize the person I've become, And I'm fighting to find my way back to the beast who hunts me in the night. They call me a diamond, But they've only created an angel of death. The Hunter I was born a predator, With ruthlessness ingrained in my bones. When what's mine is stolen from me in the night, Like a diamond hidden within a fortress, I find that I can no longer contain the beast. Blood will paint the ground as I tear apart this world to find her. And bring her back to where she belongs. No one will escape my wrath, Especially not those who have betrayed me. Warning: This is the second and final installment to the Duet. You must read Haunting Adeline first.

Fille illégitime d'un important prélat, Iodis a grandi à l'abbaye de Réol aux côtés de jeunes nobles mieux nés. Elle y étudie la Langue, une magie liturgique répondant par des visions aux questions de ceux qui la maîtrisent. Espérant échapper à la vie monastique en étant choisie comme Doctorante, Iodis trouve une rivale déterminée en la personne d'Halcyon de Monterréol, une nouvelle venue à qui tout semble réussir et dont les manières fuyantes lui semblent aussitôt suspectes. Lorsqu'un précieux tableau et le moine qui le peignait disparaissent en laissant derrière eux les traces d'une violente altercation, Iodis n'a plus de doute : Halcyon sait quelque chose et cache un secret qui pourrait compromettre l'abbaye tout entière.

The procession that crosses Chaucer's pages is as full of life and as richly textured as a medieval tapestry. The Knight, the Miller, the Friar, the Squire, the Prioress, the Wife of Bath, and others who make up the cast of characters -- including Chaucer himself -- are real people, with human emotions and weaknesses. When it is remembered that Chaucer wrote in English at a time when Latin was the standard literary language across western Europe, the magnitude of his achievement is even more remarkable. But Chaucer's genius needs no historical introduction; it bursts forth from every page of The Canterbury Tales. If we trust the General Prologue, Chaucer intended that each pilgrim should tell two tales on the way to Canterbury and two tales on the way back. He never finished his enormous project and even the completed tales were not finally revised. Scholars are uncertain about the order of the tales. As the printing press had yet to be invented when Chaucer wrote his works, The Canterbury Tales has been passed down in several handwritten manuscripts.
