Et si elle doit mourir, ce sera au côté de Del, et les armes à la main. \".

WELCOME TO HELL The prison ship Perdition, a floating city where the Conglomerate’s most dangerous criminals are confined for life, orbits endlessly around a barren asteroid. Life inside is even more bleak. Hailed as the Dread Queen, inmate Dresdemona “Dred” Devos controls one of Perdition’s six territories, bordered on both sides by would-be kings eager to challenge her claim. Keeping them at bay requires constant vigilance, as well as a steady influx of new recruits to replace the fallen. Survival is a constant battle, and death is the only escape. Of the newest convicts, only one is worth Dred’s attention. The mercenary Jael, with his deadly gaze and attitude, may be the most dangerous criminal onboard. His combat skill could give her the edge she needs, if he doesn''t betray her first. Unfortunately, that''s what he does best. Winning Jael’s allegiance will be a challenge, but failure could be worse than death… FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!

La vie de Trèfle a bien changé. Dans l’enclave, elle était une chasseuse, forte et combattive, indispensable à la survie de la communauté. Pourtant, à Salvation où elle s’est réfugiée avec Del, son partenaire de chasse, elle n’est plus qu’un fardeau. Elle ne sait ni coudre, ni cuisiner. Elle n’aime pas aller à l’école. Et pour ne rien arranger, Del prend ses distances. Mais aux alentours de la petite ville tranquille, le danger rôde toujours. Les Monstres ne sont pas loin. Et ils sont de plus en plus intelligents. Ils observent. Ils attendent. Ils ont un plan. Le combat approche. Bientôt, Trèfle va retrouver une raison de vivre.

La guerre. Les épidémies. En un mot : l’apocalypse. La surface de la terre est devenue inhabitable. Les rares survivants se sont réfugiés dans le monde d’En-Dessous, à l’abri d’enclaves souterraines reliées par des tunnels. Trèfle a toujours connu la loi de l’enclave. Elle y a toujours obéi sans discuter. Elle est devenue Chasseuse. Le rêve de sa vie. Avec Del, son coéquipier, elle se voit investie d’une nouvelle mission : protéger l’enclave de la menace constante des Monstres anthropophages qui errent En-Dessous. Mais si Trèfle est docile, elle n’est pas aveugle. Et le courage qu’elle mettait au service de la loi qui régit la vie dans son enclave va l’entraîner à se rebeller. Car au nom de cette loi, les Anciens condamnent des innocents. Après le massacre d’une enclave voisine, Trèfle fait une découverte qui lui glace le sang : les Monstres sont devenus intelligents. Pourtant, les Anciens ignorent ses avertissements. Pire, pour la faire taire, ils s’en prennent à l’un de ses amis. Trèfle n’y tient plus. Elle prend sa défense. Mais en se dénonçant pour un crime que personne n’a commis, elle est bannie avec Del. Cet exil vaut une condamnation à mort. Malgré cela, Del va lui apprendre que les mensonges des Anciens vont encore plus loin que ce qu’elle croyait, et que l’espoir brille peut-être au bout du tunnel...
