I was born on Earth, not Kurra. I'm not human,even though I try to be. My people, the Imria, think I'm a little unusual because of that. They call me an Earthsider: as if I've crossed a line, chosen a side. Gone native.

Before she met her girlfriend Reese, before she knew the role she would play in the fate of two worlds, Amber was a fifteen-year-old Imrian torn between two identities. Imrian by blood, Amber was forced to hide her true self to pass as human during the time she spent on earth. And even when she returns to Kurra, her human experiences, including first love and heartache, still separate her from her fellow Imrians. But when Amber undergoes kibila, a traditional Imrian coming-of-age ceremony during which Amber will choose her name and identity for the next fifteen years, she will be forced to either accept her role in both worlds or forge her own path.

Malinda Lo's digital exclusive novella companion to Adaptation and Inheritance takes readers on a journey through Amber's past, giving fans a glimpse into her life on Kurra and a deeper understanding of one of Adaptation's most compelling characters.

Après la mort de son père, Ash est laissée à la merci de sa cruelle belle-mère. Consumée par le chagrin, sa seul joie vient de la relecture, à la lumière du feu de la cheminée mourante, des contes de fées que sa mère lui racontait.

Dans ses rêves, un jour les fées viendront la dérobée à sa famille, comme il est dit dans les légendes.

Lorsqu'elle rencontre le ténébreux et dangereux fée Sidhen, elle pense que son voeu pourrait être exaucé.

Le jour ou Ash rencontre Kaisa, la chasseresse du roi, son coeur commence à changer.

Au lieu de courir après les fées, Ash apprend à chasser avec Kaisa.

Bien que leur amitié soit aussi délicate qu'une fleur qui vient d'éclore, cela redonne à Ash la capacité d'aimer et l'envie de vivre.

Mais Sihdhen considère déjà Ash comme sienne, elle doit donc faire un choix entre rêve de conte de fée et véritable amour.

Envoutant et romantique, Ash nous parle du lien entre la vie et l'amour, de la solitude et de la mort, ou les transformations peuvent venir même du plus profond des chagrins.

Livre en anglais.

L'équilibre naturel est perturbé dans le monde humain. Le soleil n'a pas brillé depuis des années et les récoltes sont perdues. Pire encore, d'étranges créatures hostiles commencent à apparaître. La survie du monde tient à cet équilibre.

Pour surmonter la crise, les pierres des oracles sont jetées, Kaede et Taisin, deux jeunes filles de 17 ans sont choisies pour prendre un chemin dangereux et inconnu vers Tanlili, la ville de Reine Fée. Taisin est une sage : la magie ronronne en elle tandis que Kaede est de la terre : elle n'a pas la moindre trace de l'au-delà. Pourtant le destin des deux filles est lié pendant leur mission. Alors que les autres membres de leur équipe succombent à des attaques surnaturelles et aux ruses des fées, les deux finissent par se fier l'une sur l'autre et même à tomber amoureuses. Mais le Royaume a besoin qu'une chasseresse le sauve et cela pourrait séparer Kaede et Taisin à tout jamais.

The line between best friend and something more is a line always crossed in the dark.

Jess Wong is Angie Redmond’s best friend. And that’s the most important thing, even if Angie can’t see how Jess truly feels. Being the girl no one quite notices is OK with Jess anyway. While nobody notices her, she’s free to watch everyone else. But when Angie begins to fall for Margot Adams, a girl from the nearby boarding school, Jess can see it coming a mile away. Suddenly her powers of observation are more curse than gift.

As Angie drags Jess further into Margot’s circle, Jess discovers more than her friend’s growing crush. Secrets and cruelty lie just beneath the carefree surface of this world of wealth and privilege, and when they come out, Jess knows Angie won’t be able to handle the consequences.

When the inevitable darkness finally descends, Angie will need her best friend.

Acclaimed author of Ash Malinda Lo returns with her most personal and ambitious novel yet, a gripping story of love and duty set in San Francisco's Chinatown during the Red Scare.

“That book. It was about two women, and they fell in love with each other.” And then Lily asked the question that had taken root in her, that was even now unfurling its leaves and demanding to be shown the sun: “Have you ever heard of such a thing?”

Seventeen-year-old Lily Hu can’t remember exactly when the question took root, but the answer was in full bloom the moment she and Kathleen Miller walked under the flashing neon sign of a lesbian bar called the Telegraph Club.

America in 1954 is not a safe place for two girls to fall in love, especially not in Chinatown. Red-Scare paranoia threatens everyone, including Chinese Americans like Lily. With deportation looming over her father—despite his hard-won citizenship—Lily and Kath risk everything to let their love see the light of day

Last Night at the Telegraph Club author Malinda Lo returns to the Bay Area with another masterful queer coming-of-age story, this time set against the backdrop of the first major Supreme Court decisions legalizing gay marriage.

Aria Tang West was looking forward to a summer on Martha’s Vineyard with her best friends—one last round of sand and sun before college. But after a graduation party goes wrong, Aria’s parents exile her to California to stay with her grandmother, artist Joan West. Aria expects boredom, but what she finds is Steph Nichols, her grandmother’s gardener. Soon, Aria is second-guessing who she is and what she wants to be, and a summer that once seemed lost becomes unforgettable—for Aria, her family, and the working-class queer community Steph introduces her to. It’s the kind of summer that changes a life forever.

And almost sixty years after the end of Last Night at the Telegraph Club, A Scatter of Light also offers a glimpse into Lily and Kath’s lives since 1955.
