Princess Madivia is broken. Her fae magic doesn’t work, her illness will kill her, and nobody knows she exists. So when the gods select her to leave her tower in the Ice Court and train to be a Valkyrie at Featherblade, she is sure they’ve made a terrible mistake. So is every other fae at Featherblade. All except the disgraced fire-fae Valkyrie, Kain. His burning gaze never leaves her. Nobody knows what he did to have his wings taken away, but he is as dangerous as the deadly world Maddy has been drawn into.

Je suis prise au piège de l'enfer. Ici, tout ou presque essaie de me tuer. Même le dieu qui prétend m'avoir aimée est à un cheveu de mettre un terme à ma vie. Mais tout est sur le point de changer. J'en ai par-dessus la tête d'être Perséphone, une simple outsider dans les Épreuves d'Hadès. J'ai essayé de faire appel à la déesse en moi, et maintenant que j'ai du pouvoir, je n'ai pas peur de m'en servir. Même si j'ignore totalement comment m'y prendre.

J'ai été enlevée par Zeus. Arrachée aux rues de Manhattan et terrorisée par un foutu dieu de l'Olympe. Et maintenant, je suis coincée dans les Enfers, forcée à concourir dans une série d'épreuves mortelles pour décrocher le titre de Reine des Enfers. Ce qui reviendrait à épouser Hadès, le terrifiant Seigneur des Trépassés. Déjà, qui veut d'un mari ? Alors, je ne vous parle même pas d'un mari composé de fumée et enveloppé de mort ! Je dois rentrer chez moi, à New York et auprès de mon frère.

Reyna was born a valuable slave to the Gold Court, imprisoned her whole life in a glittering palace by sadistic, greedy fae. When the palace is raided, she takes her opportunity to escape. But the raid is led by her worst nightmare. The Prince of the most feared fae of all; the Shadow Court. And he wants one thing.

I've been kidnapped by Zeus. Plucked from the streets of Manhattan and frightened half to death by a freaking Olympian god. And now I'm trapped in the Underworld, being forced to compete in a series of deadly trials for the position of Queen of the Underworld. Which would mean marrying Hades, the utterly terrifying Lord of the Dead. Who the hell wants a husband at all, let alone one made of smoke and riddled with death?

Maddy used to think she knew what would end her life. Now, the list is too long to guess from. And possibly the most dangerous of them all—Kain. Every day she spends at Featherblade, more secrets are revealed, and it will only be so long before one of them is hers. When Kain has what he wants from her… She fears it won’t just be those who wronged him who will feel his wrath.

Mais celui qui mène l'assaut est son pire cauchemar. Le prince faë le plus redouté, celui de la Cour d'Ombre. Et il veut quelque chose.

The thrilling final installment of the Hades Trials!

As a Tremblay brother, I’m loyal to my wolf clan. Which means that I have a set of rules to follow. Rules that wouldn’t let me quench my desire for Michelle. For one, she’s human. Absolutely forbidden. Secondly, I’m her boss. And third, making a move on her would mean betraying my pack. This is nothing but torture. Having to look the other way when she’s all I obsess over. I want to make her mine. Claim every inch of her delicious curves. But when my obsession gets the better of me...I have to pay for what I’ve done.

A leading criminologist who specializes in the neuroscience behind criminal behavior, Adrian Raine introduces a wide range of new scientific research into the origins and nature of violence and criminal behavior. He explains how impairments to areas of the brain that control our ability to experience fear, make decisions, and feel empathy can make us more likely to engage in criminal behavior. He applies this new understanding of the criminal mind to some of the most well-known criminals in history. And he clearly delineates the pressing considerations this research demands.

Hey, I'm Jamie, a 29-year-old trans guy from the UK. I've been transitioning for 12 years now after realising I was trans (by accident!) at sixteen years old. I knew I was a boy since the age of four, but realised whilst growing up that I was different. It was only in my teens that I found the words to express who I was and what I needed to do. Since then, I've been on testosterone for more than a decade - I know, I can't believe it either - I've also had top and bottom surgery and legally changed my sex, so I know a few things about the transitioning process and being trans!

Subtlety I wiped the drool from the corner of my mouth. What did this man do for a living, wrestle bulls? I’m confident being a thicker girl, he could handle me in the sheets. His sudden deep laugh and sparkle in his eyes hinted he wasn’t like other guys. Although we just met, he checks off all my must have boxes. Ironically, I was on a blind date with his friend, he moved his feet and Sander took his seat. His compliments and mannerisms ensured me he was feeling the same connection.

Reyna’s secrets pale in comparison to what Mazrith has been keeping from her. And now that she knows what he is, he has nothing to lose. With the balance of power tipping, both Reyna and Mazrith will be forced to make choices. Save each other, or stop the monsters from ruling Yggdrasil. But love can turn even the sanest crazy, and if they can’t save each other, they may just become the monsters that threaten their world....

Reyna’s friends were supposed to be safe in the Shadow Court, but she has enemies everywhere. And unless Mazrith forgives her, he will join that number. As hard as she wishes it were not true, Reyna’s desire for the Prince grows as fierce as her need to win the games and find the staff that will set him free. But she’s about to find out who he really is and what he has been keeping from her, and that will change everything.

What if Hercules wasn’t the hero we all thought he was? His daughter Lyssa knows just how cruel he can be. But she has left that life behind, and now, her battered smugglers ship, the Alastor, flies under everyone’s radar - just how she likes it. The gods have a different plan for her, though.

Les menaces se multiplient à la Cour des Ombres, non seulement pour Reyna, mais aussi pour le mystérieux prince des ombres qui l'a kidnappée. Des monstres morts-vivants, une reine folle, des malédictions magiques et d'anciens secrets se disputent l'honneur de mettre fin à leur vie.

Quand un dieu guerrier aussi splendide que redoutable prétend que je suis son unique moyen de restaurer son pouvoir perdu, je sais que je ne peux pas lui faire confiance. Arès a beau être le plus bel homme que j'aie jamais vu, il correspond en tout point à la brute que les mythes dépeignent. Cela dit, je ne suis pas un ange, moi non plus, et il déclenche un feu en moi... un brasier que j'ai passé toute ma vie à essayer de contrôler.

Je me suis déjà fait des ennemis, dans la vie, mais jamais aussi puissants ni malveillants que la déesse de l'amour. La malédiction d'Aphrodite a transformé Arès, l'homme dont je commençais à tomber amoureuse, en bête sauvage assoiffée de sang qui n'a plus qu'une idée en tête, me voler toute ma magie. Le pire, c'est qu'il nous reste encore une Épreuve à réaliser afin de sauver mon ami des griffes d'un terrifiant démon des Enfers.
