She''ll have to dig up her family''s ugly history and let herself dream of a better future. She''ll have to go down, down into Underland, and claw her way back to the light.

  Arkady Martine, Hugo Award-winning author of A Memory Called Empire, returns with chilling sci-fi thriller Rose/House.
  
  "I''m a piece of architecture, Detective. How should I know how humans are like to die?"
  
  Basit Deniau''s houses were haunted to begin with.
  
  A house embedded with an artificial intelligence is a common thing: a house that is an artificial intelligence, infused in every load-bearing beam and fine marble tile with a thinking creature that is not human? That is something else altogether. But now Deniau''s been dead a year, and Rose House is locked up tight, as commanded by the architect''s will.
  
  Dr. Selene Gisil, a former protege, is the sole person permitted to come into Rose House once a year. Now, there is a dead person in Rose House. It is not Basit Deniau, and it is not Dr. Gisil. It is someone else. But Rose House won''t communicate any further.
  
  No one can get inside Rose House, except Dr. Gisil. Dr. Gisil was not in North America when Rose House called in the death. But someone did. And someone died there.
  
  And someone may be there still.
  
  Rose/House is an astonishing gothic novella and locked room murder mystery from Arkady Martine. Lire la suite Fermer

  ''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

  UNDER THE WHISPERING DOOR

  TJ Klune

  • Tor Books
  • 28 Octobre 2021
  • 9781529087970

  From the author of the New York Times and USA Today bestseller The House in the Cerulean Sea . Hilarious, haunting and kind, A Man Called Ove meets The Good Place in this queer love story from TJ Klune. Death is only their beginning. When a reaper comes to collect Wallace from his own sparsely-attended funeral, Wallace is outraged. But he begins to suspect she''s right, and he is in fact dead. Then when Hugo, owner of a most peculiar tea shop, promises to help him cross over, Wallace reluctantly accepts the truth. Yet even in death, he refuses to abandon his life - even though Wallace spent all of it working, correcting colleagues and hectoring employees. He''d had no time for frivolities like fun and friends. But as Wallace drinks tea with Hugo and talks to his customers, he wonders if he was missing something. The feeling grows as he shares jokes with the resident ghost, manifests embarrassing footwear and notices the stars. So when he''s given one week to pass through the door to the other side, Wallace sets about living a lifetime in just seven days. Under the Whispering Door is an uplifting story about a man who spent his life at the office - and his death building a home. Praise for TJ Klune''s The House in the Cerulean Sea: ''I loved it. It is like being wrapped up in a big gay blanket. Simply perfect.'' - V. E. Schwab, no.1 New York Times bestselling author of The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue ''A modern fairy tale about learning your true nature and what you love and will protect. It''s a beautiful book.'' - Charlaine Harris, no.1 New York Times bestselling author '' 1984 meets The Umbrella Academy with a pinch of Douglas Adams thrown in. Touching, tender, and truly delightful.'' - Gail Carriger, New York Times bestselling author of Soulless ''A witty, wholesome fantasy that''s likely to cause heart-swelling.'' - The Washington Post
