By D. P. Prior, Cécile Bénédic. 2016
Pendant des siècles, la Vérusia, une tache au cœur de l'empire du Templum, est restée silencieuse. Mais quand un messager…
arrive dans la ville sainte d'Aeterna, apportant la nouvelle que les forteresses le long de la frontière ont mystérieusement été abandonnées et que les trois cents hommes de la garnison de Trajinot ont été empalés à l'extérieur des remparts de la ville, il paraît clair que le Seigneur Liche a repris du service. Alors qu'une armée de morts attend, abritée par les arbres noirs de la Schwarzwald, le Templum réunit ses troupes pour partir en guerre. Le Capitaine Deacon Shader mène le Septième Cheval, une troupe de cavalerie lourde qui tend à être vue comme obsolète. Leur devise : une charge, une chance. Si le moment est bien choisi, le cours de toute bataille peut être renversé, mais si l'on se trompe, tout pourrait être vite fini. Quand les deux forces s'affrontent devant les murs de Trajinot, ce ne sont pas seulement des hordes de morts-vivants que le Templum doit affronter. Une terreur tangible empoisonne l'air, faisant sombrer des soldats chevronnés dans la panique. Seuls les chevaliers des Élus ont la discipline nécessaire pour ne pas flancher, même si affronter une peur ne signifie pas qu'elle ne vous blessera pas. Et pour Shader, il y a des choses bien pires que les blessures physiques.A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil
By Dorothea Tanning, Max Ernst. 1982
In the course of browsing an illustrated book of objects—umbrellas, watches, tools, clothes—artist Max Ernst was struck by the items'…
unusual juxtapositions. By manipulating the Victorian-era engravings into striking tableaux and adding brief captions, Ernst invented the collage novel and transformed banal advertising art into revealing dramas rooted in his dreams and secret desires. A Little Girl Dreams of Taking the Veil was originally published in 1930 as Rêve d'une petite fille qui voulut entrer au Carmel. Its hallucinatory visions center on the nightmares of a girl who loses her virginity on the day of her first communion and resolves to become a nun. Ernst, a pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealistic art, blends humor and irony in his exploration of the nonrational but very real intersection of religious ecstasy and erotic desire. A century after its debut, this profoundly peculiar book retains its shock value as well as its imaginative power.Un Mes con los Hombres Lobos

She starts to question her home and her Cirque family. Is the magic real? Are the stories even true? As the bullying by the Island kids gets worse, swirling blue-gray Smoke appears. One night in the big tent, Sasha’s dad performs, twisting his body through the air as the lights dance. Sasha is supposed to be helping, but instead she sits beneath the bleachers, seething. She has wished for the Smoke to come and make it all disappear: the Cirque, her family, the Island with its mean Island kids. And the Smoke does come. As Sasha watches her dad, he flips and raises his arms out for the bar that is supposed to meet him, his bright grin confident and sure. But there is only air…and Smoke. Both of Sasha’s parents disappear that night, and it’s all Sasha’s fault. What can she do but try and find them?The Waterboys

Welcome to the faraway Barony of Cant... a land out of time, and so small that it is destined to…
be forever lost in the creases of even the best of maps. Young Lucy Wickwright - an obedient maidservant who is perhaps a bit too good at her job - tends to the Baron of Cant's mischievous daughter, The Adored & Honorable Pauline Esmerelda Simone-Thierry von Cant. Lucy's eagerness to please her charge, as well as her elders, unwittingly leads her to become a key player in a mysterious rebellion that is brewing not only throughout the Barony but within the castle grounds. Soon, she finds herself not only a spy, but also risking her life for a cause that is pitted against her own mistress. When Lucy discovers that she - an orphan! - is actually the true heir of Cant and at the heart of the revolution itself, she must choose between foiling the rebellion, which supports her right to the throne, or betraying her own flesh and blood. With remarkable wit and a flair for the fantastic, debut novelist K. P. Bath captivates readers with fast-paced action and adventure, a cast of unforgettable, eccentric characters, and two strong female heroines who learn that cunning and heroism are not merely words in storybooks.Hidden Sun: Shadowlands Book I (Shadowlands #1)

By Brian Stableford, Margaret St. Clair. 2016
Like others who withstood the pandemic, Sam Sewell lives in a subterranean shelter. The vast catacombs were built before the…
military's biological weapon leaked out, killing nine out of ten people and leaving the survivors so traumatized that they can barely tolerate each other's company. So it's quite peculiar that some government agents seem to think that Sam lives with a woman, Despoina, who's suspected of conducting germ warfare. Pressured by the agents to locate Despoina, Sam must literally go underground to discover the truth about a hidden world of witchcraft and secret rituals. This Wiccan-themed science fiction novel was cited by Gary Gygax as an inspiration for Dungeons & Dragons. Enthusiasts of the role-playing game will recognize the forerunner of Castle Greyhawk and its labyrinthine setting of multiple levels connected by secret passages. Other readers will savor the fantasy on its own terms, as the poetic recounting of an otherworldly mystery.
