Sa prochaine mission : anéantir Anna Korlov, dite "Anna vêtue de sang" . Encore vêtue de la robe qu'elle portait le soir de sa mort, l'esprit de la jeune fille hante la maison où elle a été assassinée. Malheur à quiconque ose s'aventurer de sa demeure : on n'en sort pas vivant.

Ce qui devait être un travail de routine se solde par un désastre. De chasseur, il devient la proie. Anna, la fascinante Anna, est bien plus puissante qu'il ne le pensait. Pourtant, elle a choisi de l'épargner... Pourquoi ? Qu'est-ce qui la rend si différente des autres fantômes ? Et qu'est-ce qui le pousse à remettre sa vie en jeu pour tenter de la tuer - ou de lui parler à nouveau ?

Triplet queens born on the island of Fennbirn can be many things: Elementals. Poisoners. Naturalists. If an oracle queen is born, however, one with the gift of sight, she’s immediately drowned, extinguishing her chance at ever taking the throne.

But that’s not how it always was. This cautionary practice started long ago, with Queen Elsabet—the legendary, and last, oracle queen—whose reign was tinged with blood and horror.

Paranoid, ruthless, and utterly mad, Elsabet’s mistrust led to the senseless slaying of three entire houses of innocent people. At least, that’s the unchallenged tale carried down from generation to generation. But what really happened? Discover the true story behind the queen who, though born with the gift of sight, could not foresee her swift and sudden fall from power . . . until it was too late.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake is back with an epic duology starter that follows a young woman training to join a fabled order as she attempts to lead a hero to his critical first victory. A must-read for fans of Alexandra Bracken and Victoria Aveyard.

Aristene are an order of mythical female warriors. Though heroes might be immortalized in legends, it’s the Aristene who guide their paths to victory. They are the Heromakers.

Raised by the order after being orphaned, Reed grew up surrounded by her future sisters-in-arms and the incredible stories of their quests. She’s been counting the days until her initiation, and now one final test stands in her way: shepherding her first hero to glory on the battlefield. Succeed, and her place in the order is secured. Fail, and she’ll be cast out of the only home she’s ever known.

But Reed didn’t count on Hestion, her assigned hero, being both infuriating and intriguing. When their strategic alliance turns into something more, it forces Reed to question the cost of becoming an Aristene. As battle looms and fate hangs in the balance, Reed must make an impossible choice: her hero or her order.

Old Gods never die…

Or so Athena thought. But then the feathers started sprouting beneath her skin, invading her lungs like a strange cancer, and Hermes showed up with a fever eating away his flesh. So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health.

Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gathering allies and discovering enemies both new and old. Their search leads them to Cassandra—an ordinary girl who was once an extraordinary prophetess, protected and loved by a god.

These days, Cassandra doesn’t involve herself in the business of gods—in fact, she doesn’t even know they exist. But she could be the key in a war that is only just beginning.

Because Hera, the queen of the gods, has aligned herself with other of the ancient Olympians, who are killing off rivals in an attempt to prolong their own lives. But these anti-gods have become corrupted in their desperation to survive, horrific caricatures of their former glory. Athena will need every advantage she can get, because immortals don’t just flicker out.

Every one of them dies in their own way. Some choke on feathers. Others become monsters. All of them rage against their last breath.

The Goddess War is about to begin.

It took only twenty-two minutes for Kirby Matheson to exit his car, march onto school grounds, enter the gymnasium, and open fire, killing six and injuring five others.

But this isn't a story about the shooting itself. This isn't about recounting that one unforgettable day.

This is about Kirby and how one boy—who had friends, enjoyed reading, played saxophone in the band, and had never been in trouble before—became a monster capable of entering his school with a loaded gun and firing on his classmates.

Each chapter is told from a different victim's viewpoint, giving insight into who Kirby was and who he'd become. Some are sweet, some are dark; some are seemingly unrelated, about fights or first kisses or late-night parties.

This is a book of perspectives—with one character and one event drawing them all together—from the minds of some of YA's most recognizable names.

Seize corps vidés de leur sang.

Deux adolescents.

Une explication incroyable.

Été 1958. Une série de meurtres frappe le Midwest américain. Les victimes sont retrouvées dans leur voiture, dans leur maison, et même dans leur lit, le corps exsangue, mais sans aucune trace de sang.

Lorsque la famille Carlson est massacrée dans sa ferme du Minnesota, Marie Catherine Hale, 15 ans, est retrouvée sur les lieux. Elle est couverte de sang de la tête aux pieds et, dans un premier temps, on la prend pour une survivante. Mais aucune goutte de ce sang n’est le sien.

Michael Jensen, fils du shérif local et aspirant journaliste n’aurait jamais imaginé que le plus grand fait divers de son époque lui tomberait dessus, ni qu'il serait mêlé à l'enquête lorsque Marie décide qu’il est le seul à qui elle se confessera.

Alors que Marie raconte sa version de l’histoire, il revient à Michael de découvrir la vérité : que s’est-il réellement passé la nuit où les Carlson ont été tués ? Et comment cette fille s’est-elle retrouvée au milieu de tous ces cadavres ?

Dans ce livre qui vous tiendra en haleine, signé par l’autrice classée n°1 des best-sellers du New York Times, Kendare Blake, la vérité est aussi difficile à croire qu’à trouver.
