New Releases by Melissa Marr

Jamais Seth n''a pensé à être fidèle à quelqu''un avant Aislinn. Elle est tout ce dont il a toujours rêvé. Mais pour un humain, l''éternité est bien longue quand sa petite amie est immortelle. Aislinn n''a jamais songé qu''elle pouvait régner sur des créatures dangereuses, d''une beauté surnaturelle. C''était avant que Keenan ne fasse d''elle sa Reine et ne lui vole son humanité. Entre un amour mortel et une passion éternelle, Aislinn va devoir choisir quelle voie embrasser.

Warriors Kaleb and Aya will stop at nothing to destroy their competition. But when Kaleb finds his fate entwined with that of Mallory, a seventeen-year-old human girl, he can''t seem to separate the vicious Carnival contest he''s entered from his sudden devotion to her. He and Aya may be prizefighters from the otherworldly Untamed City, but his strange, obsessive connection makes staying away from the witch-ruled human world, and Mallory, harder every day. All Mallory knows of the Untamed City is what her elders have told her—that it''s full of debauchery and daimons looking to destroy her. But she knows she''s being pulled toward Kaleb with an emotion so fierce that it''s utterly foreign. The two are forced apart by Mallory''s overprotective witch father, stranded by necessity between warring populations that can''t coexist. But when The City''s ruler raises the stakes of the Carnival''s prize, there''s nothing Mallory, Kaleb, or Aya can do to stop the two worlds colliding. Mallory''s about to discover her true identity—and stumble into a fate she''d die to avoid. Fans of The Hunger Games will devour this tale of lush secrets, dark love, and the struggle to forge one''s own destiny from the bestselling author of Wicked Lovely, Melissa Marr.

Forever takes on new meaning, though, when your girlfriend is an immortal faery queen. Aislinn never expected to rule the very creatures who''d always terrified her, but that was before Keenan. He stole her mortality to make her a monarch, and now she faces challenges and enticements beyond any she''d ever imagined.

Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow. Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her own life. The tattoo does bring changes—not the kind Leslie has dreamed of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic. Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . . .
