Le Cycle de Kingston - La série

Dans une Angleterre alternative de l’époque édouardienne, à l’ombre de la Première Guerre mondiale, des familles dotées de magie utilisent leurs dons pour contrôler le destin de nations entières. Miles Singer n’aspire qu’à vivre sa propre vie, mais marqué du sceau de la magie à sa naissance, son avenir est déjà tout tracé. Fuyant sa destinée, il s’engage dans l’armée et en revient changé, hanté par les affres de la guerre entre Aeland et Laneer. Maintenant médecin sous une fausse identité au sein d’un hôpital vétéran, Miles tente de recommencer sa vie loin de sa famille et de la magie. Mais quand un patient mortellement empoisonné expose sa marque de sorcier, Miles doit mettre son anonymat et sa liberté en danger afin d’enquêter sur le meurtre de son patient. Pour trouver la vérité, il aura besoin du soutien d’une famille qu’il méprise et de la gentillesse d’un homme qu’il vient à peine de rencontrer.

After spinning an enthralling world in Witchmark, praised as a "can't-miss debut" by Booklist, and as "thoroughly charming and deftly paced" by the New York Times, C. L. Polk continues the story in Stormsong. Magical cabals, otherworldly avengers, and impossible love affairs conspire to create a book that refuses to be put down. Dame Grace Hensley helped her brother Miles undo the atrocity that stained her nation, but now she has to deal with the consequences. With the power out in the dead of winter and an uncontrollable sequence of winter storms on the horizon, Aeland faces disaster. Grace has the vision to guide her parents to safety, but a hostile queen and a ring of rogue mages stand in the way of her plans. There's revolution in the air, and any spark could light the powder. What's worse, upstart photojournalist Avia Jessup draws ever closer to secrets that could topple the nation, and closer to Grace's heart. Can Aeland be saved without bloodshed? Or will Kingston die in flames, and Grace along with it?

With Soulstar, C. L. Polk concludes her riveting Kingston Cycle, a whirlwind of magic, politics, romance, and intrigue that began with the World Fantasy Award-winning Witchmark. Assassinations, deadly storms, and long-lost love haunt the pages of this thrilling final volume.

As freed witches flood the streets of Kingston, scrambling to reintegrate with a kingdom that destroyed their lives, Robin begins to plot a course that will ensure a freer, juster Aeland. At the same time, she has to face her long-bottled feelings for the childhood love that vanished into an asylum twenty years ago. Can Robin find happiness among the rising tides of revolution? Can Kingston survive the blizzards that threaten, the desperate monarchy, and the birth throes of democracy? Find out as the Kingston Cycle comes to an end.
