Evie tourne le dos à la Voie mystique après avoir fait ses adieux à l’âme de son amoureux, Sebastian; Helen est préoccupée par sa relation complexe avec sa mère. Sarah lutte pour garder leur amitié intacte pendant que la menace d’une attaque des Soeurs des ténèbres et des seigneurs des Insoumis plane sur elles.

Quand elle devra sortir de l’ombre pour lutter contre l’obscurité éternelle, ses soeurs se joindront-elles à elle?

L’école de l’abbaye de Wyldcliffe pour jeunes filles, installée dans un manoir gothique dans le paysage désolé des landes du nord, est élitiste, chère et inhospitalière. Quand Evie Johnson doit quitter sa maison près de la mer pour devenir la nouvelle étudiante boursière de l’école, elle se sent plus isolée que tout ce qu’elle aurait pu imaginer. Les enseignantes sévères, les étudiantes snob et l’atmosphère oppressante de Wyldcliffe la font se sentir incroyablement seule. Sa seule bouée de sauvetage, c’est Sebastian: un jeune homme rebelle, moqueur et dangereusement attirant qu’elle rencontre par hasard. Les sentiments d’Evie pour lui s’intensifient avec chaque rencontre, mais elle craint qu’il lui cache quelque chose au sujet de son passé. Et elle est hantée par les apparitions d’une étrange fille fantomatique; une fille qui ressemble si étrangement à Evie, qu’on pourrait croire qu’il s’agit de sa soeur. Evie est lentement entraînée dans un enchevêtrement de passé et de présent qu’elle ne maîtrise plus. Et au moment où les extraordinaires forces élémentales de Wyldcliffe s’élèvent telle une mer démontée, Evie découvre une étonnante vérité qui concerne Sebastian et son propre destin. L’histoire électrisante que nous raconte Gillian Shields saura émerveiller les lecteurs par son suspense, son mysticisme et son romantisme.

Quand Evie Johnson arrive au pensionnat de Wyldcliffe, elle est loin de se douter que sa vie sera bientôt complètement transformée: elle y apprend sa parenté avec Lady Agnes, elle forge un lien privilégié avec Helen et Sarah, et découvre l’étonnant secret de la Voie mystique. Mais plus que tout, son amour pour Sebastian va bouleverser sa vie. Et maintenant, Evie revient à Wyldcliffe pour un autre trimestre plein de dangers. Entourée d’ennemis, elle vit tous les jours avec la peur que Sebastian ne tombe dans les ténèbres et ne devienne le serviteur des Seigneurs Insoumis. L’assemblée fomente un complot dans le but de détruire Evie et d’utiliser Sebastian pour assurer l’immortalité de ses membres. Evie et ses soeurs doivent parvenir à maîtriser le pouvoir du talisman avant qu’il ne soit trop tard. Mais peut-on être sûr que Sebastian ne trahira pas Evie? Dans cette suite du merveilleux livre Immortalité de Gillian Shields, la magie et la romance traversent les frontières du temps et nous offrent des émotions à couper le souffle et du suspense.

I am not like Evie. I don’t belong in some great romance. I’m just the best friend in the background. Always there, always reliable, down-to-earth. Good old Sarah. That’s how it’s always been.

In this companion to the dazzling Immortal and heart-stopping Betrayal, the suspense and magic are as strong as stone and as deep as the earth.
