I had given up hope of finding such images, disappointed by the coyness of nude art photography on the one hand and the wearying over-stimulation of pornography on the other. Carré's photographs are simultaneously totally explicit and totally beautiful. His models have a stillness that says we taken a great deal of care and time to produce these images: take your own time to explore them. Carré demonstrates the power of black and white photography to reveal the true form of flesh and muscle in light and shade. The models are rarely adorned, apart from, in many cases, one, sometimes two, glas dildos that catch the light like a jewel, focusing your attention on their inner centre ...» - Dermot Cox «True erotic photography is never finished; it stimulates the imagination about what could happen later."» - Didier Carré

She holds a rare, lifesaving power that can cure disease and heal injuries in the blink of an eye. But magic always comes with a cost, and saving anyone sacrifices a sliver of her own life.

When Edira's brothers unexpectedly contract blight-an incurable virus killing people throughout the town, and an illness too strong for her to heal them both-Orin offers to help. Together at his estate they'll research a cure while Orin slows their sickness and Edira hones her magic.
