  Quand Downton Abbey rencontre Kingsman !
  
  1908. Le jeune noble désargenté Robin Blyth pensait avoir décroché un poste mineur au sein du gouvernement britannique. En réalité, le voilà devenu par erreur agent parlementaire en liaison directe avec une extraordinaire société magique secrète... dont il n'aurait jamais rien su sans cette méprise administrative, et qu'il ferait mieux d'oublier.
  
  Mais lorsqu'il est frappé d'un sort inéluctablement mortel, Robin n'a plus le choix : il doit résoudre au plus vite l'énigme laissée par son prédécesseur disparu... même si pour cela il a besoin de l'aide d'Edwin Courcey, son homologue magicien aussi brillant que secret, et résolument hostile aux séduisants baronnets trop sûrs d'eux.
  
  Issus de mondes radicalement différents, Robin et Edwin se retrouvent pourtant contraints de s'allier pour contrer une machination d'envergure, qui menace l'ensemble des magiciens des îles Britanniques... Lire la suite Fermer

  Knives Out meets The Binding in this historical romp full of magic, romance and adventure.
  
  Maud Blyth has always longed for adventure. She''d hoped for plenty of it when she agreed to help her beloved older brother unravel a magical conspiracy. She even volunteered to serve as an old lady''s companion on an ocean liner. But Maud didn''t expect the old lady to turn up dead on the very first day of the voyage.
  
  Now she has to deal with a dead body, a disrespectful parrot, and the lovely, dangerously outrageous Violet Debenham. Violet is everything Maud has been trained to distrust, yet can''t help but desire: a magician, an actress and a magnet for scandal.
  
  Surrounded by open sea and a ship full of suspects, Maud and Violet must learn to drop the masks they''ve learned to wear. Only then might they work together to locate a magical object worth killing for - and unmask a murderer. All without becoming dead in the water themselves.
  
  A Restless Truth by Freya Marske is the thrilling follow-up to A Marvellous Light.

  • 9781035039296

  Brimming with steamy romance, charm and intrigue, Swordcrossed is a dazzling queer fantasy from the internationally bestselling author of The Last Binding trilogy.
  
  Low stakes. High heat. Sharp steel . . .
  
  Mattinesh Jay, dutiful heir to his struggling family business, needs to hire an experienced swordsman to serve as best man for his arranged marriage. Sword-challenge at the ceremony could destroy all hope of restoring his family''s wealth, something that Matti has been trying-and failing-to do for the past ten years. What he can afford, unfortunately, is part-time con artist and full-time charming menace Luca Piere.
  
  Luca, for his part, is trying to reinvent himself in a new city. All he wants to do is make some easy money and try to forget the crime he committed in his hometown. He didn''t plan on being blackmailed into giving sword lessons to a chronically responsible-and inconveniently handsome-wool merchant like Matti.
  
  However, neither Matti''s business troubles nor Luca himself are quite what they seem. As the days count down to Matti''s wedding, the two of them become entangled in the intrigue and sabotage that have brought Matti''s house to the brink of ruin. And when Luca''s secrets threaten to drive a blade through their growing alliance, both Matti and Luca will have to answer the question: how many lies are you prepared to strip away, when the truth could mean losing everything you want?

  ''Sublime prose, top-notch world-building, delightfully queer'' - TJ Klune, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, on A Marvellous Light Secrets! Magic! Enemies to . . . something more?
  
  Jack Alston - Lord Hawthorn - would love a nice, safe, comfortable life. He renounced magic after the death of his twin sister. But with the threat of a dangerous ritual risking every magician in Britain, he''s drawn reluctantly back into the world of magic.
  
  Now Jack is living in a bizarre puzzle-box of a magical London townhouse, helping its owner Violet track down the final piece of the Last Contract before their enemies can do the same. And to make matters worse, they need the help of writer and thief Alan Ross. Cagey and argumentative, Alan is only in this for the money. He''s loud in his hatred of the aristocracy and their unearned power . . . and unfortunately, he happens to be everything that Jack wants in one gorgeous, infuriating package.
  
  When a plot to seize unimaginable magic power comes to a head on Jack''s own family estate, Jack, Alan and their allies will become entangled in a night of champagne, secrets, and bloody sacrifice - and the foundations of magic in Britain might be torn up by the roots before the end.
  
  A Power Unbound is the spellbinding conclusion to The Last Binding trilogy by Freya Marske. Lire la suite Fermer
