Etherna de Nicolas Bouchard
Trois jeunes gens d’époque et de lieux différents meurent. Une vestale romaine, un Japonais des années 30 et un Allemand des années 2020 : leur seul point commun est qu’ils se sont tous suicidés. Tous les trois se retrouvent dans un lieu étrange : le monde d’Ether, un système constitué de gigantesques anneaux concentriques : terre, air, eau, feu et métal. Quel est donc ce monde où semblent s’être réunis les jeunes de toutes les époques ayant mis fin à leur jour ? La réponse est au centre du système, mais pour y arriver ils devront franchir tous les anneaux et rejoindre le centre. Seuls ceux qui atteignent le but auront une réponse. Un seul clan gagnera et ils sont nombreux à vouloir tenter l’aventure.
Paperback
Trapped in Silver by Emily Sowden
Courage comes from a shadowed place in our hearts; a blurred line that straddles love and sheer stupidity.
To seventeen-year-old Ava, wild woodcats, hungry stragglers, and simple-minded townsfolk are the evils she’s grown accustomed to. But when Ethan, an unusual man with eyes of smoke and fire opal, enters her world she quickly understands that there are worse things out there than drunken men and carnivorous forest creatures. She’s a specialised liar and a hell of a fighter, but against a group of animalistic men called Berserkers she struggles to survive the encounter as the desperate swing of a dagger is all it takes to change her life for good.
Half-dead and hunted by the Berserker’s leader when he forms a monstrous obsession with her, Ava escapes his pursuit in an unfamiliar land full of impossible creatures, unlikely allies, and the man she doesn’t know whether to kiss or kill.
But after dreadful news of her missing brother surfaces, Ava becomes more involved in the centuries-long war and begins to unravel the reasons behind her relentless nightmares, discovering truths long-buried in a violent history of love, loss and betrayal.
Hardcover
Starfall by Melissa Landers
When Princess Cassia Rose fled her home world of Eturia to escape an arranged marriage, she had no idea her sudden departure would spark a war. Now after two years hiding as a ship hand, she is finally returning to her beloved home, but not in the way she imagined. Shackled by bounty hunters, she is violently dragged back to account for her crimes. Her only solace is that the Banshee crew managed to evade capture, including Kane Arric, her best friend…with occasional benefits.
Meanwhile, Kane and the rest of the crew of the Banshee plan a desperate rescue mission. But when they arrive on Eturia, Cassia isn’t exactly in need of heroics—she’s claimed her birthright as Eturia’s queen, but has inherited a war-torn planet simmering with rebellion. Cassia must make alliances, and Kane, the bastard son of a merchant, isn’t a choice that will earn her any friends. Kane knows he will never find someone to replace Cassia—and is certain she returns his feelings—but how can he throw away his own promising future waiting on a queen?
When the outer realm is threatened by the dangerous Zhang mafia, Cassia, Kane and the rest of the Banshee crew uncover a horrifying conspiracy that endangers the entire universe. In the face of unspeakable evil, Cassia must confront her own family’s complicated legacy on Eturia and decide once and for all who her real family is.
And you what did you got this week. Comments are always welcome!
Starfall looks so pretty. The first book is something I would be interested in once I brush up on my French. I feel like reading will really shape up the skill for me.
Have a good weekend!
