For sixteen years, Selestra Somniatis has been trapped in a castle on the Floating Mountain, preparing to take her mother’s place as King Seryth’s right hand. Tied by blood to steal souls for the immortal King of the Six Isles, the Somniatis Witch foretells the deaths of participants in the Festival of Predictions. To outrun your fate is to save your soul and steal the King’s immortality. But if you die, your soul is forfeit. And though thousands have tried, nobody has ever beaten death.
As a soldier in King Seryth’s army, Nox Laederic is an unlikely candidate for the Festival, but he has no plans to die at the hands of the King or his witches. His plan is more akin to violent revenge: steal the King’s immortality and kill the entirety of his court, starting with Selestra herself.
But when Selestra touches Nox in her very first prediction, she sees her own death alongside his–their fates are unmistakably intertwined, and Selestra is no longer safe in the only home she’s ever known. Nox and Selestra will have to enter a turbulent alliance in order to survive long enough to free the Six Isles from King Seryth’s clutches and escape the new fate that hunts them.

Walking on Water - An art project by Christo|via On Thursday, the artist tried out his latest project, “The Floating Piers,” a walkway stretching three kilometers, or nearly two miles, to connect two small islands in Lake Iseo, in Italy’s Lombardy region, to each other and to the mainland. Christo walked on the floating walkway of puckered yellow-orange nylon fabric, crafted to change color according to the time of the day and the weather. On Thursday, it was pockmarked with bright orange blotches left by footsteps treading on the rain-drenched fabric. “The Floating Piers” is his first outdoor installation since 2005, when he and Jeanne-Claude, his collaborator and wife, who passed away in 2009, installed 7,500 golden-paneled gates in Central Park in New York City. Like his other works, the 15-million-euro, or $16.8 million, project will be funded through the sale of his original works of art. “I think this is a record in the history of Christo’s special projects because he and the team realized it in 22 months; normally it takes decades,” the director of the project, the curator Germano Celant, said on Thursday. “So I will say that it’s an Italian and American miracle at the same time.” CJWHO: facebook | instagram|twitter | pinterest | subscribe

I’ve been a casual fan of the Disgaea series, and the more it’s gone on, the harder it’s been to figure out the timeline. But after a few hours of thinking, I think I’ve got the hang of it. I think. (Please don’t hate. Constructive criticism, sure, but not hate)
