Of Fire and Stars - La série

Asra is a demigod with a dangerous gift: the ability to dictate the future by writing with her blood. To keep her power secret, she leads a quiet life as a healer on a remote mountain, content to help the people in her care and spend time with Ina, the mortal girl she loves. But Asra’s peaceful life is upended when bandits threaten Ina’s village and the king does nothing to help. Desperate to protect her people, Ina begs Asra for assistance in finding her manifest—the animal she’ll be able to change into as her rite of passage to adulthood. Asra uses her blood magic to help Ina, but her spell goes horribly wrong and the bandits destroy the village, killing Ina’s family. Unaware that Asra is at fault, Ina swears revenge on the king and takes a savage dragon as her manifest. To stop her, Asra must embark on a journey across the kingdom, becoming a player in lethal games of power among assassins, gods, and even the king himself. Most frightening of all, she discovers the dark secrets of her own mysterious history—and the terrible, powerful legacy she carries in her blood.

Fiancée depuis l’enfance au prince de Mynaria, la princesse Dennaleia a toujours su quel serait son futur. Son mariage scellera l’alliance entre Mynaria et sa terre natale et protégera son peuple des autres royaumes hostiles. Mais Denna a un secret. Elle a une affinité pour le feu – un don bien dangereux pour la future reine d’un royaume où la magie est bannie. Maintenant Denna doit se faire au mode de vie de son nouveau foyer sans laisser apparaître la magie qui grandit en elle. Mieux encore, elle doit aussi apprendre à monter les redoutables chevaux de guerre de Mynara avant son couronnement – et son professeur est la personne qui l’intimide le plus du royaume : l’irascible et peu conventionnelle princesse Amaranthine (ou plutôt Mare), la soeur de son promis. Un assassinat vient troubler le royaume. Sous le choc, Mare et Denna joignent leur forces, bien qu’à contrecoeur, pour retrouver le coupable. Elles découvrent alors que l’une comme l’autre sont plus que ce qu’elles pensaient. Mare est surprise par l’intelligence et le courage de Denna tandis que Denna est attirée par l’indépendance de Mare. Leur amitié menace très vite de se transformer en quelque chose de plus fort. Mais un conflit se prépare, rendant l’alliance des deux royaumes plus nécessaire que jamais alors laisser cours à leurs sentiments pourrait s’avérer mortel. Mare et Denna doivent choisir entre le coeur et la raison, trouver un moyen de sauver leurs royaumes, et leurs vies. traduction de Lothfleur https://secretforbiddenworld.wordpress.com/

Princesses Denna and Mare are in love and together at last—only to face a new set of dangers. Mare just wants to settle down with the girl she loves, which would be easier if Denna weren’t gifted with forbidden and volatile fire magic. Denna must learn to control her powers, which means traveling in secret to the kingdom of Zumorda, where she can seek training without fear of persecution. Determined to help, Mare has agreed to serve as an ambassador as a cover for their journey. But just after Mare and Denna arrive in Zumorda, an attack on a border town changes everything. Mare’s diplomatic mission is now urgent: She must quickly broker an alliance with the Zumordan queen to protect her homeland. However, the queen has no interest in allying with other kingdoms—it’s Denna’s untamed but powerful magic that catches her eye. The queen offers to teach Denna herself, and both girls know it would be dangerous to refuse. As Denna’s powers grow stronger, Mare does her best to be the ambassador her kingdom needs. Her knowledge of Zumorda and its people grows, and so too do her suspicions about the queen’s intentions. With rising tensions and unexpected betrayals putting Mare and Denna in jeopardy and dangerous enemies emerging on all sides, can they protect their love and save their kingdoms?
