Jade Fire Gold

A vengeful girl. A hollow boy. A missing god.

Rui has one goal in mind—honing her magic to avenge her mother’s death.

Yiran is the black sheep of an illustrious family. The world would be at his feet—had he been born with magic.

Nikai is a Reaper, serving the Fourth King of Hell. When his master disappears, the underworld begins to crumble… and the human world will be next if the King is not found.

When an accident causes Rui’s power to transfer to Yiran, everything turns upside down. Without her magic, Rui has no tool for vengeance. With it, Yiran finally feels like he belongs. That is, until Rui discovers she might hold the key to the missing death god and strikes a dangerous bargain with another King.

As darkness takes over, three paths intersect in the shadows. And three lives bound by fate must rise against destiny before the barrier between worlds falls and all Hell breaks loose—literally.

Dans un empire au bord de la guerre... Ahn n'est personne, elle n'a ni passé ni famille. Altan est un héritier perdu, qui s'est vu voler son avenir alors qu'il était encore enfant. Lorsqu'ils se rencontrent, chacun voit en l'autre un moyen de reprendre en main son destin : pour Altan, Ahn pourrait le mener à reconquérir son trône. Quant à Ahn, elle détient peut-être enfin un moyen de percer les secrets de son passé et de comprendre ses redoutables pouvoirs magiques. Mais le prix qu'ils auront à payer pourrait être bien plus sanglant qu'ils ne l'imaginaient. Dans son premier roman, hommage au genre du Xianxia chinois, June CL Tan mêle avec brio une action féroce, une sombre intrigue, une magie foisonnante et une histoire d'amour captivante. « Épique dans tous les sens du terme, d'une beauté qui vous emporte. » Roseanne A. Brown, autrice à succès du New York Times du Chant des Sans-Repos. « L'aventure à son paroxysme. Une histoire magnifiquement restituée qui honore les grandes épopées de sabre chinois. » Joan He, autrice de Ceux qu'il nous faut retrouver. « Beau et brutal, le premier roman de June CL Tan est un exploit. Jade Fire Gold était une aventure passionnante que je n'ai pas pu lâcher. » Hafsah Faizal, autrice à succès du New York Times de We Hunt the Flame

Darker By Four

EVEN GODS NEED TO FORGET. A girl who lost her magic. The boy who found it. And a city having one Hell of a time . . . As an Exorcist-in-training, Rui is tasked with purging the city of Revenants, souls of the dead who have returned to feast on the energy of the living. For Rui, the fight is personal - a Revenant murdered her mother, and she wants revenge. But Rui's first encounter with a Revenant is nothing like she expects. And when she is nearly killed protecting Yiran, the spoiled, magicless youngest son of one of the most powerful families in the Exorcist Guild, Rui uses a volatile spell to transfer her magic to him. The pair soon realise that the spell cannot be undone. And as Revenants overrun the city and Rui's hope of revenge fades, Rui is willing to do whatever it takes to regain her magic. Even if that means making a deal with a shadowy stranger to track down a god who does not wish to be found . . . A sparkling urban fantasy with an achingly slow burn romance at its heart, Darker By Four is the perfect book for fans of Legendborn and The Mortal Instruments, as well as anyone looking to immerse themselves in a shadowy world brimming with magic.
