Ruined - La série

Emelina Flores n'a plus rien. Sa maison à Ruina a été ravagée par la guerre. Elle n'a pas les pouvoirs de ses semblables Ruinés. Pire encore, elle a été témoin du meurtre brutal de ses parents, regardant impuissante sa sœur, Olivia, se faire kidnapper. Mais parce qu'Em n'a rien, elle n'a plus rien à perdre. Guidée par un désir aveugle de revanche, Em se lance dans un voyage dangereux vers le royaume ennemi de Lera. Quelque part dans les frontières de Lera, Em espère retrouver Olivia. Mais pour cela, Em doit infiltrer la famille royale. Dans un plan élaboré, brillant, plein de tromperie et d'assassinat, Em épouse le prince Casimir, le prochain à prendre le trône de Lera. Si on découvre que Em n'est pas la vraie fiancée de Casimir, Em sera exécutée sur place. Mais c'est le seul moyen de sauver le royaume d'Em et ce qu'il reste de sa famille. Em est déterminée à réussir, mais plus elle se rapproche du prince, plus elle s'interroge sur sa mission. Le cœur rempli de rage d'Em commence à s'attendrir. Mais avec sa vie—et sa famille—mise en jeu, l'amour pourrait être, pour Em, la plus mortelle des erreurs. (traduction perso) --- Résumé VO Emelina Flores has nothing. Her home in Ruina has been ravaged by war. She lacks the powers of her fellow Ruined. Worst of all, she witnessed her parents’ brutal murders and watched helplessly as her sister, Olivia, was kidnapped. But because Em has nothing, she has nothing to lose. Driven by a blind desire for revenge, Em sets off on a dangerous journey to the enemy kingdom of Lera. Somewhere within Lera’s borders, Em hopes to find Olivia. But in order to find her, Em must infiltrate the royal family. In a brilliant, elaborate plan of deception and murder, Em marries Prince Casimir, next in line to take Lera’s throne. If anyone in Lera discovers Em is not Casimir’s true betrothed, Em will be executed on the spot. But it’s the only way to salvage Em’s kingdom and what is left of her family. Em is determined to succeed, but the closer she gets to the prince, the more she questions her mission. Em’s rage-filled heart begins to soften. But with her life—and her family—on the line, love could be Em’s deadliest mistake. Source : Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/26074185-ruined

Emelina Flores has come home to Ruina. After rescuing her sister Olivia from imprisonment in rival kingdom Lera, Em and Olivia together vow to rebuild Ruina to its former glory. But their fight has only begun. Olivia is determined to destroy everyone who acts against Ruina, but Em isn’t as sure. Ever since Em posed as Prince Casimir’s betrothed in Lera, she’s started to see another side to this war. And now that Cas has taken the throne, Em believes a truce is within reach. But Olivia suspects that Em’s romantic feelings for Cas are just coloring her judgement. Em is determined to bring peace to her home. But when winning the war could mean betraying her family, Em faces an impossible choice between loyalty and love. Em must stay one step ahead of her enemies—and her blood—before she’s the next victim in this battle for sovereignty.

Emelina Flores and her sister, Olivia, were determined to bring peace to the people of Ruina. But as the war for liberation raged on, what triumph and freedom meant to Em and Olivia slowly changed. As Olivia’s violence and thirst for vengeance became her only ambition, Em was left to pick up the pieces. But it’s not only Em who is upset by Olivia’s increased violence. Other members of the Ruined army are beginning to see the cracks, and soon a small group of them defects from Olivia’s army and joins Em instead. The two sisters are soon pitted against each other in an epic battle for the kingdom and the future, and only one will win. (source : Goodreads)
