Ninth House meets The Hazel Wood in this “richly written” (Booklist, starred review) sequel to the New York Times bestselling dark academia fantasy Curious Tides, following Emory, Baz, Romie, and Kai on their desperate quests through worlds and time! Opening locked doors has a price—even for those who hold a key. After going through the door that called to them both in dreams, Emory and Romie find themselves in the Wychwood: the same verdant world written of in Song of the Drowned Gods, albeit a twisted, rotting version of it. A sinister force has awoken with their arrival, intent on destruction as it spills across realms, and now Emory and Romie must stop it before it reaches their own shores. Meanwhile, Baz and Kai are desperate to follow their friends through the door to other worlds, but a mishap pulls them back in time instead—where they come face to face with Cornus Clover himself, famed author of Song of the Drowned Gods. Stuck together in the past, they must navigate a very different Aldryn as they unravel the school’s darkest secrets. Across time and worlds, Emory, Romie, Baz, and Kai find their fates eerily interwoven with the heroes from Clover’s book. But...

Il y a des marées qui noient et des marées qui lient, des marées dont les voix ne sont pas celles d'amies, des marées au teint lunaire et aux yeux charbonneux, et celles qui dansent sous d'autres cieux mystérieux. Nous sommes nés de la lune et des marées, et c'est à elles que nous retournons. Emory a beau être étudiante à Aldryn, la prestigieuse université de magies lunaires, elle ne possède que des aptitudes de Guérison assez basiques. Jusqu'à ce qu'une nuit, dans les grottes marines traîtresses de Dovermere, la mort emporte un groupe de ses camarades de classe, dont sa meilleure amie Romie, et la laisse seule survivante. Dès lors, Emory est accablée de pouvoirs étranges et impossibles qu'aucune Guérisseuse ne devrait posséder. Des pouvoirs qui détruiraient sa vie si la mauvaise personne venait à les découvrir. Emory n'a pas le choix, elle doit demander l'aide de Baz, le frère de Romie, un adolescent reclus et déjà familier de la nature meurtrière des magies les plus sombres. Mais lorsque les étudiants supposément noyés commencent à s'échouer sur le rivage... vivants, pour connaître aussitôt une effroyable mort magique, Emory et Baz ne sont plus ...

Penny Dreadful meets The Gilded Wolves in this breathtaking finale to the young adult historical fantasy Bones of Ruin trilogy! For years, the elite secret society called the Enlightenment Committee has waited for the apocalyptic force known as Hiva to destroy the world as it has so many times before. What the Committee didn’t know, however, was that Hiva wasn’t an event—it was a person. Iris Marlow. An African tightrope dancer with no memories of her past. A girl who cannot die. At least, she couldn’t die. Until her own friends discovered her one weakness and murdered her once and for all. The world-ending threat she posed should be gone too, but there’s one more Hiva out there, and unlike Iris, this one has no love for humanity. In her absence, this Hiva has taken it upon himself to judge if humanity deserves to live. But when it comes to Hivas, the judgment is always the same. The ending is always total destruction. And while Iris is dead, she’s not gone—and after the betrayal that ended her life as Iris, she is now out for revenge. The world’s days are numbered. The Cataclysm has begun.

Get ready to swoon for this dreamy, forget-me-not romance that’s filled with the delightful tartness of Jane Austen and the sweeping, unputdownable drama of Bridgerton. There are many things an English lord might encounter on the grounds of his wintry estate. Trees. Birds. Perhaps a wandering gamekeeper. Instead, the Earl of Belhaven finds a woman in the snow, unconscious and nearly frozen to death. Then her luminous gray eyes open just long enough for her to plead, “Don’t let them get me.” Now Jasper Maycott has his hands full with a woman who has absolutely no memory of who she is or where she came from—to say nothing of her name! Just a gold ring, some fine clothes, and a penchant for pert conversation. But while “Jane” dresses and speaks quite like a lady, Jasper can’t make any assumptions. After all, she could be a crafty fortune hunter...albeit a charming and unutterably beautiful one. Only there’s no room for romantic love in the Earl of Belhaven’s world. There is just grim duty, a lingering sense of loss, and the knowledge that love—in any form—can only bring heartbreak in its wake. But while a lady should know better, the heart heeds no...

Suite à La Dernière Leçon

Autor: Noëlle Châtelet

Número de Páginas: 114

Douze ans après, Noëlle Châtelet revit les étapes majeures de son expérience la plus intime et la plus fondamentale : la mort volontaire que s'est donnée sa mère. Car le combat de société qu'implique ce geste n'est pas terminé. Et l'adaptation de La Dernière Leçon au cinéma éclaire tout cela d'un jour nouveau. Suite au succès de La Dernière Leçon, Noëlle Châtelet s'est très fortement engagée pour la mort volontaire et l'assistance en fin de vie. Le livre qu'elle propose ici est une réflexion au fil des jours et des mois, jalonnée par l'actualité sur le sujet (l'affaire Vincent Lambert, et d'autres reportages au fil des jours) mais aussi et surtout par les différentes étapes de la préparation du film tiré de La Dernière Leçon : car transposer le livre à l'écran, c'est un peu refaire vivre sa mère, et c'est en même temps faire l'épreuve d'une forme de dépossession.
