Samantha Shannon Livres

Depuis mille ans, la maison Berethnet dirige Ynis. La reine Sabran IX, sans héritière, doit à tout prix donner naissance à une fille pour empêcher la destruction du royaume. Tandis que des assassins cherchent à la tuer, Ead Duryan, une fille des hautes sphères, membre d'une société secrète de mages appelée le Prieuré de l'oranger, la protège grâce à ses sortilèges.

À Scion-Londres, les clairvoyants n'ont pas droit de cité. Ils sont pourtant nombreux à vivre et à travailler dans la clandestinité, comme Paige, dont le job consiste à voler des informations dans l'esprit des gens pour le compte d'un baron de la pègre. Un soir, la police psychique l'appréhende et l'envoie à Oxford, dans un camp de rééducation où des êtres dotés d'un pouvoir inimaginable, les réphaïm, font régner la terreur. L'un d'eux, le gouverneur Arcturus, la prend sous son aile et lui propose même de l'aider à développer ses talents. Mais Paige n'a qu'un seul objectif : l'évasion.

Un tour de force épique et magistral. Un monument de la fantasy et de la littérature. Un monde divisé. Un reinaume sans héritière. Un ancien ennemi s'éveille.

Ead Duryan est une marginale à la cour. Servante de la reine en apparence, elle appartient à une société secrète de mages. Sa mission est de protéger Sabran à tout prix, même si l'usage d'une magie interdite s'impose pour cela. De l'autre côté de l'Abysse, Tané s'est entraînée toute sa vie pour devenir une dragonnière et chevaucher les plus impressionnantes créatures que le monde ait connues. Elle va cependant devoir faire un choix qui pourrait bouleverser son existence. Pendant que l'Est et l'Ouest continuent de se diviser un peu plus chaque jour, les sombres forces du chaos s'éveillent d'un long sommeil... Bientôt, l'humanité devra s'unir si elle veut survivre à la plus grande des menaces.
