Chrétien de Troyes

Gardelium, XVII secolo d.C. Un giovane soldato si risveglia su un campo di battaglia, in fin di vita: circondato da migliaia di cadaveri, le sue ferite sono tali da non permettergli nemmeno di alzarsi. Una donna stupenda e misteriosa, però, fa la sua comparsa proponendogli uno scambio di anime: ogni volta che ruberà la purezza di una fanciulla inducendola alla morte, un calice nascosto in una chiesa inizierà a riempirsi di sangue; solo quando ne sarà colmo fino all'orlo, il ragazzo potrà considerarsi un immortale. Ma cosa succederebbe se qualcuno scoprisse il suo segreto? Quanto tempo potrebbe restargli se la sua promessa improvvisamente vacillasse? E quali conseguenze si verificherebbero se per la prima volta iniziasse ad amare? *** Link per l'acquisto: https://www.amazon.it/Lilium-Sortilegio-del-Calice-dOro/dp/8893052830/ Pagina Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/SaraChiatante_Autrice/ Pagina Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SaraChiatanteAutrice/
