Bretagne, 44 après Jésus-Christ.
Cato, jeune officier de l'armée romaine et son supérieur, le centurion Macro, ne sont que des pions dans la soif de conquête de Rome en Bretagne.
Au cours d'un hiver glacial, les deux hommes et leur légion affrontent les barbares natifs de l'île dans des batailles au corps à corps qui hantent Cato des jours durant.
Mais parmi tous leurs ennemis, les plus redoutables sont les druides de la Lune sombre.
Des êtres violents, sans pitié, qui ont capturé la famille du général Plautius en personne. Macro et Cato se voient donc confier l'une des missions les plus dangereuses de leur carrière : s'enfoncer en territoire ennemi et libérer les otages.
S'ils échouent, le sort de l'armée romaine pourrait bien être en jeu...

Reading this book is like going into a trippy play where animals talk and there are bizarre characters. It is a mind-bending read with interesting characters and a story plot. Believe it or not, it does have a lesson to the story, we all wear masks to hide our true selves.
Talented storyteller: he paints entire scenes with plenty of details. His characters are gorgeously written, making the novel very easy to read at lightning speed. As you can see this book is highly reflective of the thoughts we share in our heads once in a while. The story is mysterious and poetic at the same time, giving a resemblance to Hamlet.
Connor er tvunget til at flytte over på den anden side af floden,
men det er svært at falde til, for hans tvillingebror, Case,
kan ikke udstå synet af ham, og farens forsøg på at få dem til at blive venner
fejler gang på gang.
Selvom Connor har rødder i klanen, er der mange som mener
han ikke hører til i deres samfund, og da han bryder en af klanlovene,
må han gøre op med sig selv om han er villig til at tage sin straf
eller risikere at byens hemmelighed bliver afsløret.
For fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Six of Crows comes the thrilling conclusion to the Blood Heir trilogy. A princess with a dark secret must ally with a con man to liberate her empire from a reign of terror in this epic fantasy reminiscent of the Anastasia story.
The Red Tigress, Ana Mikhailov, has returned to Cyrilia, but the country she once called home has fallen under a dark rule.
Across the land, the Empress Morganya is tightening her grip on Affinites and non-Affinites alike. Ana dealt a blow to the Empress when she and her allies turned back Morganya's troops in Bregon, but she couldn't stop Morganya from gaining possession of the last remaining Bregonian siphon: a dangerous new weapon with the power to steal Affinities.
Ana's forces are scattered, and her tenuous alliance with the Cyrilian rebel group, the Red Cloaks, is becoming more frayed by the day. What's worse, she's lost her Affinity to blood and without it, Ana barely knows who she is anymore – or if she has the strength to defeat Morganya.
Morganya's reign of terror is close to crushing the nation Ana was born to rule. And now Ana will finally face the sinister empress, but will she survive? Will anyone? And will her Empire welcome her back to the throne, or turn her out to survive on her own.
The Affinites and Non-Affinites of Cyrilia will determine Ana's future, if Morganya doesn't kill her first…

Para Sookie Stackhouse, las actividades del día a día de los vampiros y cambiantes de la comunidad de Bon Temps y alrededores, en Luisiana, son de vital interés. Tiene un vínculo de sangre con el rey de los vampiros, es amiga del grupo de cambiantes local, trabaja para un hombre que puede transformarse en cualquier animal, y tiene un hermano pantera# Aunque para la mayor parte de la población humana, los vampiros son criaturas misteriosas y seductoras, y eso que ni siquiera saben de la existencia de los cambiantes# Hasta ahora. Se han decidido a seguir la línea de los no muertos y revelar por fin su existencia al resto del mundo. Al principio todo parece ir como la seda# hasta que el cuerpo mutilado de una pantera aparece en el parking del Merlotte#s. La víctima es alguien conocido, por lo que se ve obligada a descubrir quién ##humano o no## ha sido el perpetrador de tal hazaña. Sin embargo, un peligro todavía mayor que el susodicho asesino amenaza Bon Temps. Una raza de seres mayores, más sabios y mucho más reservados que los vampiros o los cambiantes, se prepara para una guerra. Y Sookie se verá convertida en el títere humano de todos ellos en su batalla.
El juicio final esta en camino, y Sookie tiene una habilidad especial para situarse en medio de los problemas; en particular cuando es testigo del ataque con bombas incendiarias al Merlotte's, el bar donde trabaja. Dado que Sam Merlotte es conocido por su doble naturaleza, las sospechas inmediatamente recaen sobre los cambiantes de la zona. Sookie tiene otra opinion, pero antes de que pueda investigar surge algo aun mas peligroso. El amante de Sookie, Eric Northman, y su nina Pamela estan tramando algo en secreto. Sea lo que sea, parecen decididos a mantener a Sookie al margen. Pero Sookie esta igual de decidida a descubrir que esta ocurriendo. No puede permanecer de brazos cruzados cuando tanto su trabajo como su vida amorosa estan amenazados. Sin embargo, cuanto mas progresa en sus investigaciones, mas consciente es de que la situacion es mas mortal de lo que nunca hubiera podido imaginar.
Las leyes vampíricas en el pueblo de Bon Temps son las que son, pero nunca antes habían herido el corazón de Sookie de un modo tan profundo# El hecho de crecer con habilidades telepáticas hizo que Sookie Stackhouse se diera cuenta pronto de que había secretos que prefería no conocer. Y ahora que ha crecido, va a descubrir que tampoco le gustaría tener que ver algunas situaciones como, por ejemplo, a Eric Northman bebiéndose la sangre de una joven. Hay bastantes cosas que Sookie querría decirle a Eric al respecto, pero tiene que guardar silencio. Felipe de Castro, el rey vampiro de Luisiana, de Arkansas y de Nevada, está en la ciudad y es un momento pésimo para que el cuerpo de una mujer haya aparecido delante del patio de Eric, sobre todo teniendo en cuenta que es la misma mujer de la que acababa de alimentarse. Sookie y Bill, el investigador oficial del Á?rea Cinco, intentarán por todos los medios resolver el asesinato, una fatal muerte que Sookie piensa que, al menos en este caso, no ha tenido nada que ver con ella. Pero está muy equivocada... Tiene un enemigo mucho más retorcido de lo que jamás podría sospechar que se ha propuesto que su mundo se venga abajo.
Sergeant Major Scratch Keyes of the King's Guard is having a bad night. First, her king denies her the promotion she rightfully earned, as well as the knighthood that goes along with it. And then, when Scratch is wallowing somewhere near the fetid rock bottom, she and her best friend, the gregarious Sergeant James Ursus, are arrested for orchestrating the abduction of Princess Frances and sentenced to death. On the whole, things could be better.
Luckily, help comes in the form of the mysterious Shae siblings who inform the doomed pair that the issue of the missing Princess is far more complicated than it appears. After a daring escape, the four embark on an ill-advised rescue mission through a forest filled with beasts, bandits, and mysterious fair folk, bringing nothing with them but a kitchen knife and the vague outline of a plan. Their destination is the Between, a sacred and shadowy fae-guarded place that promises to deliver Scratch and James to the princess-if they can survive.
But Scratch didn't rise above her humble childhood in the Royal City slums by accepting things at face value. It's clear that the enigmatic Shaes are hiding something, but what do they know? Who are they working with? And why, in the name of all the divine constellations in the scrambled sky, can't Scratch stop staring at Brella?
Samara Breger's Walk Between Worlds is a romantic queer fantasy adventure that will make you laugh even as it keeps you on the edge of your seat.
