Also known as MDZS, the blockbuster danmei/Boys' Love novels from
China that inspired comics, animation, and the live-action series
The Untamed! This historical fantasy tale of two powerful men who
find each other through life and death is now in English, for the
very first time! Wei Wuxian was once one of the most powerful men
of his generation, a talented and clever young cultivator who
harnessed martial arts and spirituality into powerful abilities.
But when the horrors of war led him to seek more power through
demonic cultivation, the world's respect for his abilities turned
to fear, and his death was celebrated throughout the land. Years
later, he awakens in the body of an aggrieved young man who
sacrifices his soul so that Wei Wuxian can exact revenge on his
behalf. Though granted a second life, Wei Wuxian is not free from
his first, nor the mysteries that appear before him now. Yet this
time, he'll face it all with the righteous and esteemed Lan Wangji
at his side, another powerful cultivator whose unwavering
dedication and shared memories of their past will help shine a
light on the dark truths that surround them. This xianxia fantasy
tale built around the romanticized love between two men (danmei)
has spawned a multimedia franchise that has taken the globe by
storm. The Seven Seas English-language edition will include
exclusive, all-new covers from Jin Fang (jinzillaa), interior
illustrations from Marina Privalova (BaoshanKaro), and a
translation by Suika (yummysuika) with editor Pengie (pengiesama).
The official edition of the beloved classic voted by the British Crime
Writers’ Association as the "Best Crime Novel of all Time," now
featuring a new introduction by Louise Penny, a foreword from Agatha
Christie's great grandson, and exclusive content from the Queen of
Mystery.
Roger Ackroyd knew too much. He knew that the woman he loved had
poisoned her brutal first husband. He suspected also that someone had
been blackmailing her. Then, tragically, came the news that she had
taken her own life with an apparent drug overdose.
However, the evening post brought Roger one last fatal scrap of
information, but before he could finish reading the letter, he was
stabbed to death. Luckily one of Roger’s friends and the newest
resident to retire to this normally quiet village takes over—none other
than Monsieur Hercule Poirot . . .
Not only beloved by generations of readers, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
was one of Agatha Christie’s own favorite works—a brilliant whodunit
that firmly established the author’s reputation as the Queen of Mystery.
