Czarny Staw to miasteczko, którego nie znajdziesz na mapie. A jeśli je znajdziesz - lepiej tam nie jedź, bo pod senną fasadą kryje się świat dawnych legend, niepokojących istot i tajemnic, o których nikt rozsądny nie chciałby wiedzieć. Kamil Jura i jego paczka: Długi, Niedźwiedź i Akira, dobrze już wiedzą, że w Czarnym Stawie nic nie jest zwyczajne. Nowy rok szkolny zaczynają więc od starcia z Wi - piękną i niebezpieczną postacią rodem z ludowych wierzeń. Jej głos zwodzi, a urok zabija. Zniknięcia, o których mówi się tylko szeptem, to dopiero początek. Na szczęście w walce z Wi bohaterowie nie są sami. Dołącza do nich tajemniczy kot Pan Pulman - istota, która widzi więcej, niż powinna, i której historia sięga aż po legendy o zapomnianym czarowniku Laurentym Durze. "Wiła", w rozszerzonym przez autora wydaniu, to mroczna, pełna grozy i magii historia o przyjaźni, która potrafi stawić czoła najciemniejszym siłom. Bo w Czarnym Stawie legendy nie śpią. One polują.
Wszystkie grzechy Korporacji Somnium
Dawid, Kain
Na jakich polach działa Korporacja Somnium? Nikt nie ma pewności, jednak istnieją poszlaki wskazujące między innymi: metafizykę, nanotechnologię, nieśmiertelność, światy równoległe, klonowanie i kontrolę umysłów. Nie wiadomo, kto jest w zarządzie Korporacji, ani gdzie ukrywa się - jeśli istnieje - jej dyrektor generalny. Brak też danych na temat siedziby, aktywów czy wysokości kapitału. Tak naprawdę jedynym śladem istnienia ww. przedsiębiorstwa jest zbiór siedmiu opowiadań Dawida Kaina, zatytułowany "Wszystkie grzechy korporacji Somnium". Mamy jednak podstawy przypuszczać, że takiego autora nigdy nie było, a sama książka to dzieło pracowników Korporacji bądź jej przeciwników. Wydawca nie potrafi wytłumaczyć, skąd wziął się maszynopis zbioru, ani kto płaci mu za ukrywanie prawdy.
