Lucy remembers everything. She remembers the moment she was born. She remembers how she was born, and she remembers what that makes her. Gabriel has managed to unlock her memories, and now she can’t escape them as they play out inside her eyes. She’s finally getting some answers to the questions that have plagued her life, but will they be what she wanted them to be? Daniel wasn’t always called Daniel. In fact, he didn’t take that name until he made a decision that he knew he would regret for eternity. What forced him to change his name, and what was the choice that led him to it?

Lucy knows there is something wrong with the psychiatric home she’s been taken to. She’s noticed that she seems to be the only patient there. She’s noticed all of the empty rooms and the fact that every door to the outside world is locked. She’s also noticed how strangely her doctor is acting. It’s as if he’s pushing her for information — but information about what? Gabriel knows that all the answers are in Lucy’s head, but she’s refusing to find them for him. He’s trying to keep calm. He’s trying to give her time, so that she can discover her memories on her own. But when she starts to cause trouble, he knows that there’s only one thing he can do. Will Lucy survive Gabriel’s desperate attempt to get the answers?

Der Ort, an dem alles endet. Ein Meer, in dem nichts lebt. Eine Wüste, in der alles stirbt. Eine Stadt, in der jeder schläft. An diesem Ort ist es nicht kalt. An diesem Ort ist es nicht dunkel. Es ist ein fremder Ort. Da ist ein mechanisches Herz mit dem Wunsch zu leben. Ein Toter, der zurückkehrt, um eine Schüssel Müsli zu essen. Ein zensiertes Gesicht, das sich davor fürchtet, erkannt zu werden. Und das ist nur ein Bruchteil von dem, was an diesem Ort wartet. Acht Geschichten vom Endpunkt.

A lifelong waterman, Jack London (1876-1916) left behind a rich store of bold and beautiful prose depicting life upon the sea, under sail, and in step with wild, often perilous, nature.

Atreus Kostas, a rich Greek businessman, is literally left holding his baby when his wife, Serene, runs off with his good friend and business partner, Nikolas. When his mother and sister push him to hire a nanny, Atreus is against it at first. He wants his son, Dios, to be raised by family and doesn't think he'll receive the care and attention he requires if he brings a stranger in to do the job.

Carla agrees to Atreus' proposal - for better or for worse - and the villa is thrown into an excited frenzy of celebration and preparation. Sad that her parents are not alive to be with her during this happy time, however, Carla decides that she must go back to London to see the only family she has left since their tragic accident: her grandmother and grandfather. And Atreus and Dios will accompany her during her trip while Andria and Hanna tend to business at the villa.

Carla believes the time has come for her to leave Greece. But while she may feel it's for the best, Atreus does not agree. Dios needs her. So does Atreus. Unfortunately, Atreus is not the only one who wants Carla. Brian, the boyfriend she left behind when she came to work for Atreus, has been looking for her. And he's finally hunted her down.
