Descrip­tions

Quand sa famille a été décimée par une horde de bandits, Zera a été sauvée in extremis par une sorcière. Mais cette dernière a pris son cœur en otage afin de faire d’elle son esclave.

Un jour, la sorcière propose un marché à Zera : si elle obtient le cœur du prince héritier du royaume, elle récupérera le sien. Si elle échoue, elle perdra à jamais la chance de redevenir humaine.

Le prince héritier Lucien d’Malvane déteste la vie de cour et ne se prive pas de le montrer. Surtout, il rêve d’un monde plus juste. Alors que ses parents insistent pour qu’il se marie, personne ne trouve grâce à ses yeux… jusqu’à ce que l’insolente Zera se présente à lui.

Ainsi commence le jeu du chat et de la souris entre un prince entêté et une jeune fille qui n’a rien à perdre. Le gagnant remportera le cœur de l’autre… littéralement.

Zera is a Heartless – the immortal, unageing soldier of a witch. Bound to the witch Nightsinger ever since she saved her from the bandits who murdered her family, Zera longs for freedom from the woods they hide in. With her heart in a jar under Nightsinger’s control, she serves the witch unquestioningly.

Until Nightsinger asks Zera for a Prince’s heart in exchange for her own, with one addendum; if she’s discovered infiltrating the court, Nightsinger will destroy her heart rather than see her tortured by the witch-hating nobles.

Crown Prince Lucien d’Malvane hates the royal court as much as it loves him – every tutor too afraid to correct him and every girl jockeying for a place at his darkly handsome side. No one can challenge him – until the arrival of Lady Zera. She’s inelegant, smart-mouthed, carefree, and out for his blood. The Prince’s honor has him quickly aiming for her throat.

So begins a game of cat and mouse between a girl with nothing to lose and a boy who has it all.

Winner takes the loser’s heart.

Literally.
