Publiée initialement en 1988, La plage des songes révèle les fondations d’un univers sur lesquelles Stanley Péan a su construire…
une œuvre solide. Si l’écrivain a bien évidemment évolué au fil de ses trente-cinq ans d’écriture, soulignons qu’il écrivait déjà magnifiquement. Les protagonistes de ce recueil de nouvelles sont tour à tour happés par leurs souvenirs, idéalisés ou cauchemardesques, de cette Haïti qu’ils traînent dans leur exil, telle une carapace de tortue. Oscillant entre tendresse et humour noir, entre compassion et terreur, La plage des songes retrace les itinéraires singuliers de ces personnages livrés aux caprices de forces surnaturelles et nous fait découvrir un autre visage du Québec contemporain. Un livre fondateur pour l’écrivain aujourd’hui célébré.A la brunante
Par 1844-1897 Faucher de Saint-Maurice. 1998
A la brunante rassemble probablement les plus belles pages qu'a écrites Faucher de Saint-Maurice (1844-1897). Sans conteste l'un des auteurs…
les plus prolifiques qu'a connu le Québec du XIXe siècle, Faucher de Saint-Maurice était un personnage haut en couleurs : tour à tour combattant au Mexique, prisonnier, condamné à mort, fonctionnaire, journaliste et député, il a longtemps milité, dans son coin d'Amérique, en faveur de la langue française est d'une littérature originale et différente de celle que l'on retrouve en France. Dans ses contes et ses récits, Faucher de Saint-Maurice atteint le sommet de son art. Ceux qui composent cet ouvrage mettent en scène des personnages qui sont tous plus étonnants les uns que les autres. Et chacune des histoires que nous raconte l'auteur renferme des surprises qui ne maquent jamais d'étonner les lecteurs qui les découvrent.Divine rivals: A novel (Letters of Enchantment #1)

royal wedding finds herself embroiled in scandal when a gossip columnist draws attention to her undeniable chemistry with the groom. Niamh Ó Conchobhair has never let herself long for more. The magic in her blood that lets her stitch emotions and memories into fabric is the same magic that will eventually kill her. Determined to spend the little time she has left guaranteeing a better life for her family, Niamh jumps at the chance to design the wardrobe for a royal wedding in the neighboring kingdom of Avaland. But Avaland is far from the fairytale that she imagined. While young nobles attend candlelit balls and elegant garden parties, unrest brews amid the working class. The groom himself, Kit Carmine, is prickly, abrasive, and begrudgingly being dragged to the altar as a political pawn. But when Niamh and Kit grow closer, an unlikely friendship blossoms into something more—until an anonymous gossip columnist starts buzzing about their chemistry, promising to leave them alone only if Niamh helps to uncover the royal family's secrets. The rot at the heart of Avaland runs deep, but exposing it could risk a future she never let herself dream of, and a love she never thought possible. Transporting listeners to a Regency England-inspired fantasy world, A Fragile Enchantment is a sweeping romance threaded with intrigue, unforgettable characters, and a love story for the ages.

the mythology and folklore of ancient China. The Demon Gods have risen. Skies' End has fallen to the colonizers. And Lan and Zen have chosen sides. But they will not fight together. Though Lan inherited the power of the Silver Dragon, she understands the path she must take. She believes the Demon Gods to be the cause of war, conflict, and turmoil, and that the future of the Last Kingdom depends on their being eliminated forever. Worse, she knows that if the Elantians manage to bind one of the legendary beings, their army will be unstoppable. To save her kingdom and her people, Lan will need to find the only mythical weapon capable of destroying the Demon Gods: the Godslayer. Zen is sure that the only way to free the Last Kingdom is to use the power of the Demon Gods. When he bound the Black Tortoise, he paid the ultimate price: to inherit its strength, he will forfeit his body, his mind, and his soul. Yet one Demon God is not enough against the might of the colonizers. In the ruins of the northern Mansorian lands slumbers a magical army of demonic practitioners capable of facing off against the Elantians-but Zen must find the Seal to awaken them to fight by his side. At the center of both Lan's and Zen's journeys is one city: Shaklahira, a former stronghold of the Imperial Court that vanished without a trace when the Elantians invaded. Its location is a mystery, and both are sure that it holds the answers they need, but the past it hides might be more dangerous than anything they've faced yet. The battle for the Last Kingdom rages on. But to win the war, Lan will have to decide: Can she face the boy she loves again? And when she does, can she kill him to free her people?Brutale attirance, tome 1 (Brutale Attirance #1)

Par C. M Nascosta. 2023
Eleanor Eastwick is out of tricks. This alleged wallflower is hiding a secret, beyond the fact that her family is…
skint broke. If she wants to ensure the survival of her aged grandmother and younger siblings, she'll need to leverage the only thing they have left-their good name-and land herself a rich husband. There's only one problem: she has no bloody idea what she's doing. Enlisting the help of the wickedy rakish Marquis of Basingstone, Eleanor embarks on a crash course in how to attract the monstrous Gentry, high society courtship, and lessons in lovemaking . . . academically, of course. Lord Silas Stride, the Marquis of Basingstone, has no intention of giving away his heart. It would be cruel to chain another to the fate of a half-life such as his-only coming awake at twilight, living as a silent spectator to the daytime world. But Silas did not count on one Eleanor Eastwick. She had shone like a star when he knew her years earlier, and she did once again in his study, leaving him unable to deny his assistance. He could not possibly risk his heart on a delicate flower of the daytime, but a lady who was used to a life after dark . . . Silas Stride had no intention of taking a wife, but once Eleanor has left for the Monsters Ball, he cannot help but claim his own invitation, and his bride. Contains mature themesThe magic all around

Sometimes a family treasure hunt unfurls new paths in life. The Russell family members all seem to have . .…
. gifts. Eldest sister Penelope naturally infuses strength or joy or love—whatever the wearer requires—into the fabric of the dresses she designs as a seamstress. Her younger sister, Lilith, is never without whatever she needs—despite the free-spirited and nomadic life she lives with her daughter. There's always a person nearby who just happens to have an apartment available to rent, or a part-time job open, or a car to borrow just when they need it. And Lilith's adult daughter, Mattie, always seems to trigger the perfect song to mysteriously start playing—whether from a radio in another room that was turned off or from a friend's phone in their pocket. And at the heart of the family is their old Victorian home that sometimes seems to have a personality in and of itself. When independent, artistic Mattie Russell finds herself back in the family home after her mother's unexpected death, she has no intention of sticking around the small town, even though she has no future destination in mind. She's used to living in a new city every couple of years with Lilith as her sole companion, and she's especially hesitant to entangle herself in the Russell family secrets about their special giftings. But during the reading of the will, the family is shocked to learn Lilith included a testamentary trust that requires Mattie to stay in Ivy Ridge long enough to complete a series of seemingly absurd tasks in order to claim her inheritance. While completing the tasks, Mattie discovers that her mother had a well-thought-out plan for her daughter that would lead Mattie to finding her birth father, teach her how to choose her own path, learn to keep her heart open for love, and discover that staying still long enough to sow seeds can produce a stunning garden and vibrant life. This enchanting and whimsical tale of mothers and daughters, home, and love will open readers' eyes to the magic all around them.
