RESURRECTING SALVADOR
Book ID/图书代码: 00530014B76242
English Summary/英文概要: Sometimes death is only the beginning.
As a quartet, they lived in relative harmony, despite their differences in temperament and outlook. Rachel’s dreamy goodness clashed with Audrey’s waspish cynicism, but Beth’s common sense and Lydia’s soothing beauty always seemed to balance everything in the end.
Then Salvador came. Salvador de La Simarde, child prodigy grown up bad, without doubt the finest classical guitarist of his generation. With his dark beauty and distracted air, the four women couldn’t help but be drawn to him. But for Lydia, that would mean being drawn into the dark and strange world of his family.
A world dominated by the Château de Gondecourt, now a haunted ruin, and its eerie simulacrum resurrected on Dartmoor, places where ancient dreams have turned into gothic nightmares, and where the terrifying matriach Madame de La Simarde still broods over the death of her dreams.
Dreams that she is determined to resurrect, ensnaring Lydia and her friends in a fatal plot.
Chinese Summary/中文概要: 有时,死亡不过是一切的开端。
作为一个四重唱小组,他们还是相对和谐的生活在一起,尽管大家的气质脾性和外貌都不尽相同。蕾切尔梦幻一般的美好主义总是与奥黛丽暴躁的愤世嫉俗观点发生激烈的碰撞和冲突,然而贝丝的时刻保持冷静与常识以及莉迪亚令人舒缓的美总是能在最后让一切都平缓下来。
随后,萨瓦多登场了。萨瓦多•德拉西玛德,成长环境恶劣的天才神童,却又无疑是他身处的时代中最优秀的古典吉他手。他的美有着一种阴暗和孤冷的气息,四个女子都情不自禁地深受他的吸引。然而对莉迪亚而言,这种吸引也意味着进入他黑暗与奇怪的家族世界中。
一个曾经有龚德柯特古堡所统治的世界,如今却成为了一片闹鬼的废墟,那里古怪可怕的幻象在达特摩尔起死回生,在达特摩尔,古老的梦想变成了一个个可怕的哥特式噩梦,而令人畏惧的女族长德拉西玛德夫人则还在冥思着自己美梦的死亡。
她决心要让这些美梦起死回生,为此,她不惜将莉迪亚和她的朋友们卷入了这场致命的阴谋之中。(DC)
