Maomao has effectively become Jinshi’s personal physician, but she’s just a simple apothecary. If she’s going to give him proper medical treatment, she’ll need more than her meager surgical skills. When she turns to her father for help, he says he’ll only teach her if she can pass a test he sets for her. Even if she succeeds at his mysterious request, however, the truth behind the practice of surgery at court may be more than she cares to know. And only once she has the knowledge she needs will she be able to accompany Jinshi on what could be his most dangerous journey yet.

The whole capital seems to have gone Go-crazy when Lakan publishes a book about his games. He’s got even bigger plans, holding a Go tournament that’s open to all—and rumor has it that if anyone can topple the strategist himself, he’ll grant them any single request they might ask. Jinshi sees an opportunity. But it’s not all fun and games, as Jinshi learns when reports arrive of crops devastated by a plague of locusts in a remote village. All his attempts to forestall the insects’ devastation will soon be put to the test, and the outcome may mean survival or starvation.

Martino è il più piccolo, e il meno amato, dei figli di una famiglia altrimenti serena. Essendo albino, viene considerato motivo di ogni avversa fortuna, tanto che il padre un giorno lo ripudia. Scappato di casa, Martino dovrà non solo imparare ad accettare la propria diversità, ma soprattutto capire che non è il pallore della sua pelle o il colore dei suoi capelli, a farlo sentire così solo e sbagliato. Irene Marchesini e Carlotta Dicataldo creano un mondo ricco e dettagliato, meravigliosamente plausibile e per questo tanto più spaventoso, in cui i reietti si proteggono a vicenda, in cui si è presi per matti se si dà il tempo a una larva di diventare insetto e di imparare a volare, e in cui capire la propria reale identità fa battere il cuore come se si stesse apprendendo un segreto che forse nessuno è ancora pronto ad ascoltare.

In exchange, their lives are broadcast to the less fortunate outside, who watch eagerly, hoping for the chance to one day become actors themselves. Chobahm lives for the time she spends watching the shows produced inside Snowglobe. Her favorite? Goh Around, starring Goh Haeri, Snowglobe’s biggest star—and, it turns out, the key to getting Chobahm her dream life. Because Haeri is dead, and Chobahm has been chosen to take her place. Only, life inside Snowglobe is nothing like what you see on television. Reality is a lie, and truth seems to be forever out of reach.
