2016br. Iris Kastelein lavora presso Bartels & Peters, un rinomato studio legale di Amsterdam dove, in cambio di laute parcelle, si soccorre il prossimo nei guai con la legge. Uno "sporco lavoro", come si suole dire, reso ancora più proibitivo dal fatto che Iris deve occuparsi anche di Aaron, il bambino avuto da un uomo dal quale si è sentita attratta una sola volta in vita sua. Tra sessanta ore di lavoro alla settimana, riunioni, rapporti, cause, negoziati che si succedono a ritmo infernale, corse all'asilo per recuperare Aaron, Iris sa, però, di essere una giovane donna grintosa, indipendente, con un bambino semplicemente adorabile. Un giorno, tuttavia, una scoperta sconvolgente viene a disintegrare tutte le sue certezze. Una futile indagine sulle cause della morte di un pesciolino, contenuto nell'acquario apparso di punto in bianco qualche anno prima nel salotto di sua madre, la conduce sulle tracce di un certo Ray Boelens. Ray non è soltanto il primo proprietario dell'acquario. Ray è, secondo la giustizia olandese, un assassino accusato di un crimine orrendo: avrebbe ucciso, con numerose coltellate. la sua vicina insieme con la figlia perché non ricambiava i suoi sentimenti, e avrebbe poi infierito sulla piccola spegnendo sul suo cadavere un mozzicone di sigaretta. Questo "mostro della porta accanto", infine, spedito a marcire tra le mura di un manicomio criminale, porta stranamente lo stesso cognome della madre di Iris: Boelens.
2016br. 1940. Inghilterra. La guerra arriva anche nel Regno Unito con il nome "Operazione attacco dell'Aquila". È l'inizio della Battaglia d'Inghilterra. I piloti inglesi combattono con i propri mezzi contro un nemico dieci volte superiore. Tra loro c'è una squadriglia denominata "Pecore nere", composta di veri e propri assi. Il loro capo, Simon Farrell, li ha addestrati per essere veloci e letali in combattimento, ma qualcosa cambia. Da un passato lontano, spunta una maledizione che va a decimare i piloti delle "Pecore nere". Demoni, mostri e paure affiorano dalle anime dei giovani guerrieri, facendoli capitolare uno a uno. L'unico a voler scoprire la verità è Farrell, che lotta contro tutto e tutti nella speranza di salvare quel che resta della sua squadriglia. Un thriller veloce e crudo. Primo capitolo di una trilogia che poggia le sue fondamenta sulla lotta tra alcuni discendenti dei Templari e i servi del Demonio che, nei secoli, sono riusciti a penetrare nelle stanze del potere, fino a inquinare la Chiesa.

2021br. Il prestigio di Semerald le ha conferito l'appellativo di "città splendente", ma molti sanno che dietro la luce più abbagliante si nascondono le ombre più nere, soprattutto i basili, gli sfortunati abitanti della Città Bassa. Lo stesso Satinel, membro dell'Ordine dei Servi Neri, guardiani della Città Alta e del Patriarcato, ha cominciato da tempo a intuire qualche inceppo negli impeccabili meccanismi del governo. La conferma arriva quando l'efferato assassinio del vecchio Duca Patriarca, di cui lui diviene accidentalmente testimone, è insabbiato in modo sospetto a opera della sua stessa consorte, Lady Luanna. Perché nascondere la verità se si tratta solo un furto andato male? Il mistero si infittisce e lui sembra proprio intenzionato ad andare a fondo. Con l'aiuto dei suoi poteri e accompagnato dall'amico Markus, intraprenderà un'indagine che rivelerà molto più di un segreto oscuro dietro alle bianche mura degli alti palazzi di marmo, simbolo della stirpe dei nobili nevial.
2017br. Annika, una giovane avvocatessa di origini finlandesi, vissuta per molti anni a Casablanca, in Marocco, viene a conoscenza di un segreto militare dai diari del padre ritrovati in soffitta.

2017br. Vivo per strada, ai margini del mondo, perché dal mondo non mi aspetto più nulla. E al mondo, a chi come te si ferma su questa panchina sotto un caldo sole d'estate o nelle fredde brine d'inverno, sono ancora capace di regalare qualcosa. Sono un 'cantastoria'. Che dici? Si dice cantastorie? No, io sono un 'cantastoria', perché di storia ne ho solo una da raccontare. È una storia vera, s'intende, non una di quelle inventate che stropicciano i sogni. Ogni istante vissuto è stato un tocco di dita che ha fatto vibrare la corda della mia anima e il suo ricordo echeggia quelle emozioni. Se pensassi di tenerla solo per me, mi sentirei l'uomo più egoista di questa terra. È una storia che ha dentro tutte le emozioni di questo mondo, dall'amore alla rabbia, dalla lucida ragione alla più pazza follia. Cosa c'era che non andava in lei? Angelica era, semplicemente, un'assassina seriale.
