Lever de Lune (La saga des seize couchers de soleil #2)
by Mark Gardner Cindy VaskovaAnne Henderson, dont les super pouvoirs lui ont conféré l'immortalité il y a des millénaires, est l'une des rares personnes au courant que l'agence gouvernementale dirigée par le Dr Jacob Globe a été reconvertie dans un but pervers. Globe traque des humains aux superpouvoirs, mais pas pour les aider. Son ambition est d'apprendre le secret de leurs pouvoirs, de les donner ou les prendre selon son bon désir. Anne travaille aux côtés de plusieurs autres personnes de son genre, ainsi qu’avec l’inspecteur de police Frank Massey, qui a suivi l’émergence des supers, pour sauver ceux que Globe a capturés et pour exposer ses activités au monde entier. Tandis que Globe consolide son pouvoir, il envisage de l'étendre encore afin de devenir le prochain maire de Seattle, en créant un mouvement contre ces humains aux superpouvoirs. La résistance est encore divisée et doit faire face à des persécutions quotidiennes et même à des arrestations, alors que Globe emploie un pirate informatique surdoué pour accuser un homme innocent d’un acte de terreur. Mais certains des supers qu'il a capturés, sont conservés sous sédatifs pour des expériences, laissant à Anne et à ses alliés, un choix cornélien: laisser le monstre s'épanouir ou perdre un autre d’entre eux.
Levet (Guardians of Eternity)
by Alexandra IvyGargoyles do not admire difference--and Levet is undeniably different. Of miniscule stature, rather beastly looks, and with fragile, delicate wings, even his family has shunned him, banished him from his beloved Paris. That he is the only gargoyle ever to help defeat the Dark Lord and his hordes of minions makes no impression. But now Levet has come home, determined to be restored to the official Gargoyle Guild. To do so, he must confront the most feared gargoyle in all of Europe. The one who tried to kill him as a child: his own mother. . . With few allies, Levet's survival may depend on the aid of two strangers: Valla, a beautiful but damaged nymph, and Elijah, the fiercely possessive, love-struck vampire clan chief to whom she can't quite surrender--unless Levet has something to do with it. . .
