Pallas. Tome 1: Dans le ventre de Troie

« Chante, Pallas, comment Zeus t'arracha aux bras de ta sœur pour te jeter sur la terre inféconde. Comment il éleva de hautes murailles pour te séparer d’Athéna, et la colère qui saisit la déesse. Chante, Pallas, les noms des mortelles et des immortelles qui furent sacrifiées pour te libérer du ventre de Troie. Chante, fille de Triton, la vengeance d’Athéna. » Marine Carteron, autrice des Autodafeurs, Génération K et Dix, revisite la mythologie grecque au travers du regard des déesses et des mortelles. Une trilogie qui lève le voile sur ce qu’Homère nous a caché : les véritables causes des guerres de Troie.

[German] - Die Zauberflöte - Opera re:told, Band 1

Die Zauberflöte ist eine der bekanntesten Opern und ein zeitloses Meisterwerk. Schon Kinder pfeifen den 'Vogelfänger' und die Rachearie der Königin mit ihren waghalsigen Koloraturen ist unvergesslich. Die Musik Mozarts gepaart mit Schikaneders märchenhaften Libretto sorgt - damals wie heute - für ein Erlebnis, dem man sich nicht entziehen kann. Doch wie war das noch gleich? Warum zürnt die Königin der Nacht dem weisen Sarastro? Warum hat der eigentlich nochmal Pamina in seinen Tempel entführt? Diese Fragen und noch viele mehr wollen wir beantworten. Die Geschichte der Zauberflöte, erzählt und nicht gesungen, begleitet von der Musik Mozarts, jedoch nicht im Gewand eines pompösen Orchesters, sondern schlicht und einfach mit einem Bläserensemble und dem Schauspieler Frederic Böhle. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart und Emanuel Schikaneder auf den Punkt gebracht, den Kern freigelegt, so wie es ihnen gefallen hätte: Eine magische Geschichte, wundervolle Musik. Mehr braucht es nicht!

Spell Over Troubled Water

Being a forty-something, newly divorced, single mom is getting easier every day. Thankfully, so is being a witch, you know, when monsters and power-hungry sorcerers aren’t trying to kill me. And they aren’t the only ones who want to take me down. Too bad for all of them. I don’t die easy. Now that my nero-craft has been triggered, I’m off to the Iron Grove compound, along with my hot druid boyfriend and his violently awesome sister, to learn magic from the best of the best. Of course, not every druid or tru-craft witch is happy about me adding water magic to the earth, fire, and air magic I already wield. There is even talk of a test they want me to take that sounds about as much fun as an alien probing. No, thank you. I’ll have to rely on allies, old and new if I want to survive the incoming tide of enemies who want me to drown in my own magic. Literally.

The Broken Elf King

Book 2 in the Kings of Avalier series: a full-length fantasy romance that also stands alone… I never should have taken that loan but my aunt needed meds I couldn’t afford. Now I’ve been sold to slavery and the Nightfall Queen’s guards have found out I’m not entirely human. I guess I’m lucky they didn’t kill me. The next thing I hear is that the Elf King himself has bought me, and I’m to be transferred to his castle. It will take me five years to pay off the debt but I get to be his personal assistant. Personal assistant to the king. That can’t be so bad, right? Oh how wrong I was. His council has tasked me with finding him a wife before they will fund his war against the Nightfall Queen.

The more time we spend together, the more we realize I’m not just some half elf. There is a deep power that runs through my veins, one that makes me a target… or his solution? I enter into a fake marriage with him so that he can get the council off his back and I can get some protection. That’s a great idea, as long as I don’t fall in love with him. Should be simple enough… The Broken Elf King is book TWO of FOUR in the Kings of Avalier series. It's a full-length standalone fantasy romance about the Elf King Raife Lightstone.
