Tout les poussait à être ennemis jurés. Mais le destin en a décidé autrement...

Darling n'a aucun souvenir d'avant le massacre de sa famille par la Maison Dragon. Elle doit sa vie à la Maison Kraken, qui l'a tirée enfant des bas-fonds. Lorsqu'elle apprend que son père adoptif a été capturé, Darling se jure de tout faire pour le sauver - même si cela signifie tuer chaque membre de la Maison Dragon, jusqu'au dernier.

Talon est le très dévoué prince de guerre de la Maison Dragon, menant les troupes d'élite de son frère, le Haut Prince Régent Caspian. Un régent dont le comportement imprévisible inquiète de plus en plus. Alors le jour où, en pleine bataille, Talon tombe nez à nez avec une fille qui ressemble exactement à celle dont son frère peint des portraits de façon obsessionnelle depuis l'enfance, il sait qu'elle est la clé.

Ennemis jurés, menacés par de sombres prophéties, Talon et Darling sont pris dans les rets des intrigues politiques entre les Maisons, un jeu dont seul Caspian connaît les règles... 

A kingdom at risk, a crown divided, a family drenched in blood.

The erratic decisions of a prophecy-obsessed king have drained Innis Lear of its wild magic, leaving behind a trail of barren crops and despondent subjects. Enemy nations circle the once-bountiful isle, sensing its growing vulnerability, hungry to control the ideal port for all trade routes.

The king's three daughters—battle-hungry Gaela, master manipulator Reagan, and restrained, starblessed Elia—know the realm's only chance of resurrection is to crown a new sovereign, proving a strong hand can resurrect magic and defend itself. But their father will not choose an heir until the longest night of the year, when prophecies align and a poison ritual can be enacted.

Refusing to leave their future in the hands of blind faith, the daughters of Innis Lear prepare for war—but regardless of who wins the crown, the shores of Innis will weep the blood of a house divided.

An orphan girl must face untold danger and an ancient evil to save her kingdom’s prince in this lush, romantic fantasy perfect for fans of Girls of Paper and Fire and Tess of the Road.

How can you live without your heart?

In the vast palace of the empress lives an orphan girl called Nothing. She slips within the shadows of the Court, unseen except by the Great Demon of the palace and her true friend, Prince Kirin, heir to the throne. When Kirin is kidnapped, only Nothing and the prince’s bodyguard suspect that Kirin may have been taken by the Sorceress Who Eats Girls, a powerful woman who has plagued the land for decades. The sorceress has never bothered with boys before, but Nothing has uncovered many secrets in her sixteen years in the palace, including a few about the prince.

As the empress’s army searches fruitlessly, Nothing and the bodyguard set out on a rescue mission, through demon-filled rain forests and past crossroads guarded by spirits. Their journey takes them to the gates of the Fifth Mountain, where the sorceress wields her power. There, Nothing will discover that all magic is a bargain, and she may be more powerful than she ever imagined. But the price the Sorceress demands for Kirin may very well cost Nothing her heart.
