Trazos de vida sobre lienzos de noche. Puede que te preguntes sobre el título de este libro. Tal vez de forma injusta, he identificado la noche con los momentos oscuros que, de una forma o de otra, nos secuestran la serenidad del alma. Cualquier ser humano tendrá la oportunidad a lo largo de su existencia de experimentar determinadas noches que le interrogarán sobre lo más profundo. No hay noches iguales. Esta es la realidad. Lo que te duele a ti, tal vez yo no lo viva como tú. A mí me duele lo mío, mis ausencias para siempre, mis conflictos y problemas. Mis batallas. A ti, las tuyas. Compartir contigo alguna de estas cosas genera una especie de bálsamo en el que sumergir al sufrimiento. Pero sobre la noche, siempre es posible trazar vida. Siempre. Vida rotunda, absoluta, incuestionable. Vida de años, de sueños y de personas que ponen luz sobre los lienzos oscuros en esto que llamamos vivir.

But are there enough left to have a last go at putting things right? With his remaining lifeblood, he casts a powerful spell that catapults him back in time to a happier period of Farsalan history – a time when it was Eufrates’s older sister Tig destined to ascend to the throne, before she died of a wasting disease, and a time when Cyril and Eufrates’s tentative romance had not yet bloomed. If he can just make sure Eufie never becomes King, then maybe he can prevent the kingdom’s tragic fate. But the magical oath he made to his husband at the altar, transcending both time and space, may prove to be his most enduring – and most dangerous – feat of magic to date…Featuring a formidable Great Aunt, a friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers romance, an awkward love quadrangle and a crow familiar called Ganache, this charming story is imminently easy to read and sure to satisfy fans of fanfiction who like their fantasy lite.
