  ''Alix E. Harrow is an exceptional, undeniable talent'' - Olivie Blake, author of The Atlas Six
  
  Step into Starling House - if you dare . . . Alix E. Harrow reimagines Beauty and the Beast in this gorgeously modern Gothic fantasy, perfect for fans of V. E. Schwab and Naomi Novik.
  
  Nobody in Eden remembers when Starling House was built. But the town agrees it''s best to let this ill-omened mansion - and its last lonely heir - go to hell. Stories of the house''s bad luck, like good china, have been passed down the generations.
  
  Opal knows better than to mess with haunted houses, or brooding men. But when an opportunity to work there arises, the money might get her brother out of Eden. Starling House is uncanny and full of secrets - just like Arthur, its heir. It also feels strangely, dangerously, like something she''s never had: a home. Yet Opal isn''t the only one interested in the horrors and the wonders that lie buried beneath it.
  
  Sinister forces converge on Eden - and Opal realizes that if she wants a home, she''ll have to fight for it. Even if it involves digging up her family''s ugly past to achieve a better future. She''ll have to go down, deep down beneath Starling House, to claw her way back to the light . . .
  
  This is a romantic and spellbinding Gothic fairy tale from Hugo, Nebula and Locus Award-shortlisted Alix E. Harrow.

  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

  A Restless Truth

  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.

  ''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
