Il gruppo si è diviso dopo l''apparente tradimento di Séverin. Per ritrovarlo, Enrique, Laila, Hypnos e Zofia devono farsi strada attraverso gli spettrali canali di Venezia, a guidarli solo una manciata di labili indizi. Nel frattempo, Séverin deve fronteggiare i capricci del folle patriarca della Casa Decaduta e scoprire l''ubicazione del tempio sotto l''isola della peste, l''unico luogo in cui può essere suonata la lira divina capace di realizzare ogni desiderio. Mancano solo dieci giorni alla presunta data di morte di Laila e il gruppo si trova ad affrontare laghi pieni di cadaveri, sinistre feste in maschera e canti intonati da voci ultraterrene, fino ad arrivare agli scintillanti gradini di un tempio in grado di trasformare tutti loro in divinità... ma il prezzo da pagare potrebbe essere davvero troppo elevato.

Tu m''as averti que ton secret nous détruirait si je le découvrais. Mais, oh, mon amour, comme tu mentais... Il était une fois un homme qui croyait aux contes de fées. Lorsque ce dernier rencontre Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada, sa fascination pour elle n''a d''égale que la passion brûlante qui les unit, nourrie par leur penchant commun pour les contes. Indigo lui offre sa main, à condition qu''il ne l''interroge jamais sur son passé. Il accepte sans hésiter. Malgré tous les secrets dont elle s''est entourée, Indigo est pourtant rattrapée par son ancienne vie et ils sont tous deux contraints de partir pour la Maison des Rêves – le manoir extravagant où elle a grandi. Dans ses profondeurs, le fiancé exhume alors des vérités qui auraient dû rester enfouies, promesses maudites gardées par les fées. Tandis que la demeure lui livre ses secrets, il sera forcé de choisir entre histoires et réalité, mettant en danger leur pacte, et leurs vies...

Harrow, autrice de Les Dix mille portes de January et Le temps des sorcières "Le conte de Roshani Chokshi est aussi doux et malfaisant qu''un fruit défendu.

Schwab, autrice de La Vie invisible d''Addie Larue "Éthéré, enivrant et tellement envoûtant. Chaque page ondoie tel un rêve empli d''autant de beauté que de terreur.

DA CHARMOSA PARIS AOS VENTOS CONGELANTES DA RÚSSIA, RETORNE AO UNIVERSO DE OS LOBOS DOURADOS E SE ENCANTE COM ESTA SEQUÊNCIA REPLETA DE MISTÉRIO E ROMANCE. MOSCOU, FINAL DO SÉCULO XIX. Três semanas. Esse é o tempo restante até o próximo Conclave de Inverno, o evento mais aguardado pelos membros da Ordem de Babel, que nem imaginam os perigos que os esperam. Séverin Montagnet-Alarie e sua equipe podem até ter tido sucesso em impedir os planos da Casa Caída, mas a vitória tem um custo alto demais — um que ainda assombra todos eles. Tentando se recuperar da perda avassaladora, Séverin lidera uma perigosa jornada em busca de um artefato há muito tempo perdido — e que, segundo os rumores, é capaz de conceder ao seu detentor o poder de Deus. A procura leva o grupo para longe de Paris direto para o coração da Rússia, onde animais feitos de gelo guardam um palácio esquecido, deusas em ruínas carregam segredos mortais e uma sequência de antigos assassinatos não resolvidos faz com que o grupo questione se um mito antigo se trata realmente de um mito. No entanto, Séverin e sua equipe não contavam que em sua aventura se deparariam com novos segredos e, como se não bastasse, inúmeros desafios. Nessa jornada, cada um deles precisará olhar para dentro de si e lidar com sentimentos conflituosos — perda, ganância, impotência e vulnerabilidade. E o que encontrarão poderá levá-los por rumos inimagináveis e que colocarão em prova a fé inabalável de suas relações, conforme o grupo arrisca suas vidas por um último trabalho.

Corazon yearns to finally start training as a babaylan (a mystical healer and spirit guide) under her powerful guardian, Aunt Tina. As soon as her magic awakens, Corazon plans to bring her parents back from the dead and no longer have to rely on a soul key to allow visits with their ghosts for a few hours every Saturday night. But when a vengeful ghost steals Corazon''s precious key, the fragile balance between the human world and the spirit world is thrown out of whack. Aunt Tina reveals that if Corazon wants her magic to awaken, then she just lay the ghost to rest by fashioning a new soul key. With her rather bloodthirsty gecko companion, Saso, Corazon embarks on a quest through the spirit realms. But they must move quickly, for if the ghost gets through the spirit glass, all hope will be lost. Roshani Chokshi pays tribute to her Filipino heritage in this book that has all the magic, sparkle, and heart that made her Aru Shah series a fantasy classic.

Paris, 1889. A cidade está na efervescente transição para a nova Era e com a aproximação da abertura da Exposição Universal que agita às ruas, antigos – e perigosos – segredos são desenterrados. Séverin Montagnet-Alarie teve sua herança roubada quando ainda era uma criança. Tendo o seu lugar junto à Ordem de Babel negado e sua Casa dada como extinta, ele só consegue pensar em uma coisa: recuperar tudo o que lhe foi tomado. E para isso ele se torna um exímio caçador de objetos pertencentes à Ordem, contando com a ajuda de um peculiar grupo de especialistas: uma matemática e inventora brilhante, um historiador e linguista preso entre dois mundos; uma dançarina misteriosa e com um passado completamente sinistro e um irmão que, ainda que não seja de sangue, Séverin jurou proteger. Quando uma de suas aquisições não sai como o planejado e entrega sua identidade, o patriarca de uma das Casas restantes da França lhe oferece um acordo: a ajuda para recuperar um objeto perigoso antes que a Ordem saiba que sua existência está em risco e, em troca, Séverin terá o que é seu por direito. Apesar de ser um acordo perigoso, o estranho grupo aceita o desafio, e juntos vão explorar o coração sombrio e brilhante de Paris. O que eles encontram pode mudar o rumo da história – mas só se conseguirem permanecer vivos.

C’era una volta, in una terra chiamata Fortezza dell’Amore, un re e una regina che si amavano, ma ahimè non più. Se, dopo un anno e un giorno, non avessero ritrovato l’amore che li univa, il loro destino li avrebbe portati a essere banditi dal loro stesso regno. E così fu. Imelda e Ambrose non ricordano il motivo del loro matrimonio perché, un anno e un giorno prima, Ambrose si recò da una strega barattando il loro amore per la vita di Imelda. Nel giorno in cui sono costretti ad abbandonare il regno, quella stessa strega fa loro visita chiedendo a sua volta un favore. In cambio, promette di realizzare tutti i loro desideri. Non avendo più nulla da perdere, Imelda e Ambrose accettano e si avventurano in un viaggio incantato durante il quale recuperano la memoria e ricordano cosa li fece innamorare la prima volta. Con la fine del loro viaggio sempre più vicina, una nuova decisione li attende: Imelda e Ambrose inseguiranno i loro sogni o sceglieranno di amarsi, ancora una volta?

"A fairy tale in the oldest and truest sense: a haunting dream full of blood and love, vicious truths and beautiful lies. It swallowed me whole, and I went willingly." — Alix E. Harrow, New York Times bestselling author of Starling House “Decadence laced with horror . . . A delightfully meta fairy tale . . . Magic emanates from every exquisitely crafted sentence.” — Charlie Jane Anders, Washington Post In the tradition of sumptuous gothic novels like Starling House and The Bloody Chamber comes a dark fairy tale-infused story about a cursed friendship and a marriage steeped in secrets—the breathtaking adult debut from New York Times bestselling author Roshani Chokshi. Once upon a time, a man who believed in fairy tales married a beautiful, mysterious woman named Indigo Maxwell-Casteñada. He was a scholar of myths. She was an heiress. In exchange for her love, Indigo extracted a promise: that her bridegroom would never pry into her past. But when the couple returns to Indigo’s childhood home, the House of Dreams, the bridegroom will soon find himself unable to resist. For within the crumbling manor’s extravagant rooms lurks the shadow of another girl: Azure, Indigo’s dearest childhood friend, who suddenly disappeared. As the house slowly reveals his wife’s secrets, the bridegroom will be forced to choose between reality and fantasy, even if doing so threatens to destroy their marriage . . . or their lives. Through a tapestry of secrets woven around dangerous shards of truth, Chokshi crafts an atmospheric fever dream of a novel about love and lies, secrets and betrayal, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. "Chokshi''s tale is as sweet as a piece of fairy fruit, and just as wicked. Every bite is velvet, every swallow is gold, and the taste lingers like a fever dream." — V. E. Schwab, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue "Gorgeous and ornate, this sensual fairy tale illuminates the corrosive and redemptive power of both love and lies." — Holly Black, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Book of Night

New York Times bestselling authors Roshani Chokshi, Evelyn Skye, and Sandhya Menon craft a spellbinding novel about discovering the magic of true love on one fateful, magical night in Three Kisses, One Midnight. The town of Moon Ridge was founded 400 years ago and everyone born and raised there knows the legend of the young woman who perished at the stroke of twelve that very same night, losing the life she was set to embark on with her dearest love. Every century since, one day a year, the Lady of Moon Ridge descends from the stars to walk among the townsfolk, conjuring an aura upon those willing to follow their hearts’ desires. “To summon joy and love in another’s soul For a connection that makes two people whole For laughter and a smile that one can never miss Sealed before midnight with a truehearted kiss.” This year at Moon Ridge High, a group of friends known as The Coven will weave art, science, and magic during a masquerade ball unlike any other. Onny, True, and Ash believe everything is in alignment to bring them the affection, acceptance, and healing that can only come from romance—with a little help from Onny’s grandmother’s love potion. But nothing is as simple as it first seems. And as midnight approaches, The Coven learn that it will take more than a spell to recognize those who offer their love and to embrace all the magic that follows.

Paris 1889. Tous les regards sont tournés vers la Ville lumière où va se tenir l''Exposition Universelle.

Contraint de récupérer l''artefact par le mystérieux Ordre de Babel, le chasseur de trésor Séverin Montagnet-Alarie se voit promettre une récompense qu''il n''aurait jamais imaginée : récupérer son héritage. Pour réussir son coup, il va s''entourer d''un groupe atypique : un historien, une brillante ingénieure, un rival aristocrate, un faussaire de génie et une danseuse-espionne. Ensemble, ils vont explorer le cœur sombre et scintillant de Paris où le danger les attend. Séverin va se retrouver tiraillé entre son désir de vengeance contre ceux qui lui ont fait du tort et la peur de perdre ses proches - dont la femme qu''il aime - alors qu''il les entraîne dans une quête extrêmement périlleuse.
