Lois Duncan Livres

A l’instant où elle pose les yeux sur l’imposant manoir gothique de Blackwood, le pensionnat où elle va passer l’année, un sentiment d’angoisse s’empare de Kit. Comme si un vent glacé traversait son cœur à chaque pas effectué vers la porte. Comme s’il y avait quelque chose de maléfique à l’intérieur des murs du pensionnat, perdu au milieu de nulle part. Lorsque d’étranges phénomènes viennent perturber son quotidien et que les trois autres pensionnaires se mettent à développer des talents artistiques incroyables, le malaise de Kit ne fait que s’intensifier. Hantée par une mélodie de piano, elle devient somnambule et aperçoit d’étranges silhouettes dans les couloirs sombres. Bien décidée à mener l’enquête, Kit découvrira que certains secrets feraient mieux de rester enfouis… car ils dépassent tout ce que la raison peut appréhender.
