Se Fier Aux Ténèbres
by Eva Fairwald Elise DelahayeIl n'y a pas de honte à préférer la vie à la mort, surtout si la revanche se présente en votre faveur. Pour une fois, la guerre se fait synonyme de renaissance, même si elle doit venir d'un long cauchemar. Le Capitaine Ella Dorsh est une dure, bourrée de talent... qui est dans la merde. Elle sait que l'ennemi mène la danse et que la guerre va très vite éclore en surface, mais que les humains ne sont pas encore prêts. Le Royaume d'En-Dessous s'est appauvri et sa population d'elfes noirs a bien l'intention de conquérir le monde et d'y établir son règne. Ella et les autres membres des "Divisions Ressuscitées" constituent la seule véritable chance de l'humanité de pouvoir combattre l'ennemi sur son propre terrain : des elfes affrontant leurs propres congénères, permettant ainsi de sauver de précieuses vies humaines. Néanmoins, les choses ne sont jamais aussi simples qu'elles en ont l'air et les ténèbres cachent bien plus de secrets encore que ce qu'Ella ne se l'imagine. L'histoire se situe dans notre monde dans un futur proche, et comporte des éléments touchant aux genres de la dystopie et de la science-fiction, ainsi qu'une héroïne balaise qui va vous mettre la pâtée ! Ce roman raconte l'histoire de soldats Elfes entraînés de force dans un complot bien trop importants pour qu'on puisse l'ignorer, par de dangereux secrets qui changeront à jamais le cours de l'Histoire et de la Vie.

by T. M. Bilderback Francesca MarrucciUn detective privato è assistito in un caso di sottrazione di minori da una bambina che appare e scompare Cosa succede quando un giovane poliziotto in rapida ascesa, sposato con l'amore della sua vita, perde improvvisamente la sua bambina non ancora nata per un aborto spontaneo, perde la moglie per cancro e perde il lavoro a causa di un incidente violento con un sospetto? Decide di bere per cercare di dimenticare. Questo è quello che è successo a Nicholas Turner dieci anni fa. Ora, grazie all'aiuto di sua sorella, Melissa, e del suo migliore amico, l'agente dell'FBI Marcus Moore, Nicholas ha quasi vinto il bere ed è diventato un investigatore privato specializzato in casi riguardanti i bambini. La figlia di Meredith Richardson, Karen, è stata rapita e il dipartimento di polizia della città non sembra essere di grande aiuto. Su suggerimento di Marcus Moore, Meredith assume Nicholas per trovare la ragazza. Ma Nicholas trova un aiuto inaspettato. Una bambina, che a quanto pare solo Nicholas riesce a vedere, lo sta aiutando con il caso. Appare quando Nicholas ha bisogno di un indizio, poi scompare altrettanto rapidamente. Chi è questa bambina? Perché Nicholas è così attratto dalla sua cliente? Chi ha rapito la bambina della sua cliente? E perché questo caso è diventato così pericoloso? Ispirato alla classica canzone di Gordon Lightfoot, 'If you could read my mind' è una storia commovente di redenzione, romanticismo e seconde possibilità.

The Sea Beast Takes a Lover: Stories
by Michael AndreasenAn astonishing fiction debut from a UC Irvine MFA graduate and recent contributor to The New Yorker.Bewitching and playful, with its feet only slightly tethered to the world we know, The Sea Beast Takes a Lover explores hope, love, and loss across a series of surreal landscapes and wild metamorphoses. Just because Jenny was born without a head doesn't mean she isn't still annoying to her older brother, and just because the Man of the Future's carefully planned extramarital affair ends in alien abduction and network fame doesn't mean he can't still pine for his absent wife. Romping through the fantastic with big-hearted ease, these stories cut to the core of what it means to navigate family, faith, and longing, whether in the form of a lovesick kraken slowly dragging a ship of sailors into the sea, a small town euthanizing its grandfathers in a time-honored ritual, or a third-grade field trip learning that time travel is even more wondrous--and more perilous--than they might imagine.Andreasen's stories are simultaneously daring and deeply familiar, unfolding in wildly inventive worlds that convey our common yearning for connection and understanding. With a captivating new voice from an incredible author, The Sea Beast Takes a Lover uses the supernatural and extraordinary to expose us at our most human.

Sea Dragon Heir
by Storm Constantinein A WORLD BEYOND TIME THE palindrake family ruled the rocky kingdom of Caradore, their right ordained by their allegiance to the power of the Sea. But war came to them, and defeat at the hands of the king of Fire. He had coveted this high, feral land, and now it was his. Caradore, and its guardian family, the Palindrakes, had once belonged to the sea. Their flags were adorned with the ocean's brutal, yet fragile, monsters: sea dragons, proud, attenuated, and coral-frail. If the mournful cries of their shattered ghosts echoed from the ocean now, no one heard them. The flags had fallen and were burned. The elements had clashed and fire reigned triumphant. The Palindrakes were defeated, but not lost. For the lady of Caradore protected the secret rituals of the family's bond to the sea. And in time the power of the Sea Dragons "would rise again. And now, five lifetimes later, the Palindrake heir, Valraven V, has a twin sister, a woman who embodies their inheritance of power in a way that no wife ever could. Valraven is obedient to his oath to serve the Magravandian Emperor in war and peace, and Pharinet is resigned to her duty as a woman to marry. But the tidal power in their blood draws them to each other, into a forbidden passion that could sweep away bonds of fire placed upon the oceanic magic of the sea.
