les campements de sans-abris et enquête sur d'étranges disparitions. Jusqu'à se retrouver de l'autre côté du miroir, dans un lieu hors du monde où on héberge celle/ceux qu'on appelle désormais "les inlogé·es.. Dans cette institution où les pensionnaires doivent fournir un travail pour lequel ils sont peut-être rémunérés (ou pas) et dont ils sont peut-être captifs (ou pas), la seule échappatoire de Sidonie est l'écriture.

Je décidai de passer mes journées à nettoyer, laver, ranger et épousseter comme Cendrillon. J'appris à me faire belle en…
portant de jolies robes modestes chaque jour sans pour autant tomber dans le narcissisme de Blanche Neige. Je compris qu'il fallait changer pour me faire aimer par les autres et fermer ma gueule comme Ariel. J'eus espoir que les gens qui étaient cruels avec moi changeraient et tolérai donc leur comportement à mon égard comme le faisait Belle. Je me dis que je ne valais rien de mieux qu'un crapaud, comme Tiana. Enfin, j'attendis patiemment dans ma chambre que le Prince Charmant vienne me sauver, comme Raiponce. 'Quand est-ce que tu nous ramènes un petit ami à la maison? Jamais. La science de l'amour a su prouver que chaque personne sur Terre a une âme sœur qu'il est possible d'identifier à l'aide de tests ADN. Tout le monde, sauf moi : Louison la malédiction. Dans un monde où tout tourne autour de l'amour, j'ai dû accepter que ce ne serait jamais mon tour. Comment raconter une histoire qui ne se terminera pas par "ils vécurent heureux et eurent beaucoup d'enfants"?

As Captain Pausert had often had occasion to observe, life just wasn't fair! Hadn't he (with the help of the…
notorious witches of Karres, of course) outmaneuvered the deadliest of space pirates and eliminated the threat of the Worm World (as told in The Witches of Karres), after which, at the least, he deserved some time off. No such luck, though, as the Empress herself sent him on a secret mission to stop the nanite plague, but an enemy had somehow convinced the Imperial Fleet that he was actually a wanted criminal, so after a battle leaving his ship in urgent need of repairs all three of them joined an interstellar traveling circus (don't ask!) in order to save the galaxy once again (as told in The Wizard of Karres). Time for a vacation? Don't be ridiculous—there's a new urgent mission that has Captain Pausert's name on it! This new novel finds the long-suffering Captain and the two young Karres witches—Goth, who vows she will marry him when she grows up, and her younger sister The Leewit—being sent off to investigate mysterious and ominous events in the notorious Chaladoor region of space. Goth soon becomes aware that unknown but surely inimical forces are tracking them, and in order to foil them she takes a desperate route to travel back in time and meet Pausert as a young boy. Meanwhile, the Captain and the Leewit find themselves in the middle of their own desperate situation in the Chaladoor. Whoever it was who said that a change was as good as a vacation never met any of the Witches of Karres—nor experienced their amazing talent for getting Captain Pausert into trouble

The former Tempest Runner, wanted by both her Nihil allies and the Republic, has evaded imprisonment and death from both groups more times than she can count. But even Lourna cannot outrun the mysterious blight that devours everything wherever it appears. And Marchion Ro, the Eye of the Nihil, has announced that only he knows the secret to stopping it. Desperate, the Republic and Jedi turn to Lourna with an offer: help the Jedi stop the blight, and in return, Lourna will have a clean slate and the chance to decide her own future. Teamed with Avar Kriss and Keeve Trennis, the same Jedi who once hunted her, Lourna leads the search for the Nihil’s chief scientist, Baron Boolan, the only being who may have answers to the mystery of the blight, as well as Marchion Ro’s true plans. Lourna weighs the Republic’s offer of true freedom against her own instincts for survival as her team heads deeper into Nihil territory, straight toward the very dangers Lourna has worked for so long to elude. And when the opportunity arises to face off against Marchion Ro himself, even Lourna Dee may be willing to sacrifice everything to fulfill a quest for revenge.

undercover mission and emerge as the Rebel Alliance’s elite strike force. It is Wedge Antilles’s boldest creation: a covert-action unit of X-wing fighters, its pilots drawn from the dregs of other units, castoffs and rejects being given one last chance. But before the new pilots can complete their training, the squadron’s base is attacked by former Imperial admiral Trigit and Wraith Squadron is forced to swing into action—taking over an Imperial warship and impersonating its crew. The mission: to gain vital intelligence about Trigit’s secret weapons, to sabotage the admiral’s plans, and to lure him into an Alliance trap. However, the high-stakes gamble pits Wraith Squadron’s ragtag renegades against the Empire’s most brilliant master of guile and deception. Are they up to the challenge? If not, the penalty is instant death

Rumor has it on the streets of sixteenth-century New Spain, there's a new vigilante in town serving justice. This reimagining…
of Zorro—featuring a heroic warrior sorceress—weaves Mesoamerican mythology and Mexican history two decades after the Spanish conquest into a swashbuckling, historical debut fantasy with magic, intrigue, treachery, and romance. A new legend begins... In sixteenth-century New Spain, witchcraft is punishable by death, indigenous temples have been destroyed, and tales of mythical creatures that once roamed the land have become whispers in the night. Hidden behind a mask, Pantera uses her magic and legendary swordplay skills to fight the tyranny of Spanish rule. To all who know her, Leonora de las Casas Tlazohtzin never leaves the palace and is promised to the heir of the Spanish throne. The respectable, law-abiding Lady Leonora faints at the sight of blood and would rather be caught dead than meddle in court affairs. No one suspects that Leonora and Pantera are the same person. Leonora's charade is tragically good, and with magic running through her veins, she is nearly invincible. Nearly. Despite her mastery, she is destined to die young in battle, as predicted by a seer. When an ancient prophecy of destruction threatens to come true, Leonora—and therefore Pantera—is forced to decide: surrender the mask or fight to the end. Knowing she is doomed to a short life, she is tempted to take the former option. But the legendary Pantera is destined for more than an early grave, and once she discovers the truth of her origins, not even death will stop her
