Gothic novel, dark fantasy In the first volume of the saga we met a whole gallery of supernatural characters fighting for their place in the world. We submerged in their fears and desires, in their vices and defects. We discovered their motivations: love, sex, power, acknowledgement..., but there were many mysteries left to discover. What happened for Eva to want to kill her childhood friend? Where is she hiding and why? What role, in the story of the protagonist, do characters like Leo and Alouqua play? How will the battle to the death between Ianire and Luna end? Most of these questions will be unveiled in this second volume. Though we can guess at what new mysteries and questions will open for us... Are you prepared for a new volume with more doses of horror, tenderness, magic, eroticism, tensión, humor and suspense?

Nanocrystals and nanostructures attract a special attention in the recent years due to their various properties and a wide range of applications such as in electrical, optical, optoelectronic, catalytic, medicine, chemo- and biosensing, and environmental protection fields. Although extensive research has been done in the field of nanocrystals, it is considered one growing research field. The main goal of this book is to present the current research activities in the field of nanocrystals and nanostructures covering issues regarding new synthesis methods, self-assembly strategies, characterization techniques, properties, and applications. Interesting reports regarding biomimetic modeling of the biomineralization processes and theoretical models to describe mechanisms of deformation twinning in nanocrystalline and ultrafine-grained materials have been presented. By structuring, approaching, and content, the work may be useful for specialist in the field of nano-/materials science, PhD students, students, and all those interested in this topic of high relevance.
