Un autre monde vous attend, là, de l'autre côté du mur... Kell est le dernier des magiciens de sang, des sorciers capables de voyager d'un monde à l'autre. Des mondes, il y en a quatre, dont Londres est, à chaque fois, le cœur et l'âme. Le nôtre est gris, sans magie d'aucune sorte. Celui de Kell, rouge – on y respire le merveilleux à chaque bouffée d'air. Le troisième est blanc : là, les sortilèges se font si rares qu'on s'y tranche la gorge pour une simple incantation. Le dernier est noir, noir comme la mort qui l'a envahi quand la magie a dévoré tout ce qui s'y trouvait, obligeant les trois autres à couper tout lien avec lui. Quatre mois ont passé depuis que la pierre noire est tombée entre les mains de Kell, depuis que le corps de Holland a été envoyé dans le Londres noir en compagnie du talisman maléfique. Lilah est partie. Sans mot dire, au bout de trois jours d'épreuves inimaginables, elle a laissé là Kell, sur un quai du Londres rouge, pour partir explorer le monde. Inquiet, le jeune homme affronte des nuits sans repos : assailli de rêves menaçants, il ne se réveille que pour penser à elle. La capitale bouillonne de fièvre car dans quelques jours commencent les Jeux des éléments, une compétition qui réunit les meilleurs magiciens de trois royaumes voisins, souvent en guerre par le passé. En prévision de l'événement, un navire à la réputation légendaire se rapproche de la cité, ramenant de vieux amis à terre... Mais pendant ce temps, un autre Londres se réveille et revient petit à petit à la vie. Or rien ne doit venir bouleverser l'équilibre de la magie : pour qu'une ville prospère, une autre doit décliner... Un autre monde vous attend, là, de l'autre côté du mur ! Découvrez Shades of Magic, trilogie unanimement saluée par la critique, signée d'une jeune auteure prodige, V. E. Schwab. Elle y tisse un univers magique d'une grande originalité qu'elle peuple de personnages inoubliables, insolents de panache, pour le plus grand délice de ses nombreux fans.

Depuis cette contagion, il est interdit de transporter le moindre objet entre les univers. C'est malgré tout ce que Kell va prendre le risque de faire, histoire de défier la famille royale qui l'a pourtant adopté comme son fils, à commencer par le prince Rhy, son frère, pour qui il donnerait par ailleurs sa vie sans hésiter. Mais, à force de jouer avec le feu, il finit par commettre l'irréparable : il emporte jusque dans le Londres gris une pierre noire comme la nuit, qu'une jeune fille du nom de Lila décide, sur un coup de tête, de lui subtiliser. Pour elle comme pour lui – pour leurs deux mondes, à vrai dire – le compte à rebours est lancé. Un autre monde vous attend, là, de l'autre côté du mur...

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY'S BEST YA OF THE DECADE NEW YORK TIMES bestseller Brand new edition of Victoria Schwab's long out-of-print, stunning debut. All-new deluxe edition of an out-of-print gem, containing in-universe short story "The Ash-Born Boy" and a never-before-seen introduction from V.E. Schwab. The Near Witch is only an old story told to frighten children. If the wind calls at night, you must not listen. The wind is lonely, and always looking for company. There are no strangers in the town of Near. These are the truths that Lexi has heard all her life. But when an actual stranger, a boy who seems to fade like smoke, appears outside her home on the moor at night, she knows that at least one of these sayings is no longer true. The next night, the children of Near start disappearing from their beds, and the mysterious boy falls under suspicion. As the hunt for the children intensifies, so does Lexi's need to know about the witch that just might be more than a bedtime story, about the wind that seems to speak through the walls at night, and about the history of this nameless boy. Part fairy tale, part love story, Victoria Schwab's debut novel is entirely original yet achingly familiar: a song you heard long ago, a whisper carried by the wind, and a dream you won't soon forget.

Olivia Prior egész életében azon tűnődött, ki ő valójában és hova tartozik. Ebben egyedül egy vékony, ütött-kopott napló van a segítségére: az anyjáé volt, tele bejegyzésekkel és képekkel, amelyek arra utalnak, hogy a nő elvesztette az eszét, ráadásul a rajzok alig többek tintapacáknál… amíg Olivia észre nem veszi bennük egy kéz, egy ajtó, egy virág és egy koponya körvonalait. Nem sokkal később levelet kap, melyben hazahívják Gallantba. A helyre, ahová az anyja naplója szerint soha nem szabad mennie. Olivia mégis útra kel. Mi mást tehetne? Gallantban aztán rátalál az utolsó élő rokonára és a családi kúriára bálteremmel, szalonnal, dolgozószobával és egy hatalmas, színpompás kerttel, valamint egy málladozó fallal és egy vaskapuval, amit soha nem szabad kinyitnia. Azonban senki nem tud a levélről. És senki nem árulja el Oliviának, mi kísérti az unokatestvérét az álmaiban, mi történt az anyjával és mi rejtőzik a fal túloldalán.

Sono passati sette anni da quando le porte tra i mondi sono state sigillate. Sette anni da quando Kell, Lila e Holland si sono opposti a Osaron, in una battaglia disperata che ha salvato i mondi di Londra Rossa, Grigia e Bianca. Sette anni da quando la magia di Kell è stata infranta e Holland ha perso la vita. Ora Rhy Maresh governa Londra Rossa, che ribolle di cospirazioni e rivolte, mentre a Londra Bianca è comparsa una nuova Antari, Kosika, il cui cruento fanatismo religioso potrebbe evocare un potere troppo vasto per essere controllato. In questo mosaico di nuovi amici e vecchi nemici, una ragazza dotata di un'insolita abilità entra in possesso di un oggetto in grado di cambiare il destino dei quattro mondi. Il suo nome è Tes ed è l'unica in grado di unire le fragili trame del potere. O di spezzarle per sempre.

A fascinating account of one of the most successful spying operations of World War II Long recognized as one of the most successful (and ruthless) spy networks in history, the Red Orchestra was a group of Soviet cells that operated throughout Germany and occupied Europe until late 1943. The Germans knew of its existence as early as 1941. Yet, it was only after two years of dogged detective work, lucky breaks, interrogation, and betrayals that they were able to silence the Red Orchestra for good. By that time the damage had been done and the Third Reich was facing extinction. Now, The Red Orchestra offers readers a unique opportunity to learn the complete story of Russia's hidden war against Nazi Germany. Vividly recreating a shadowy world of intrigue and espionage in war-torn Europe, The Red Orchestra introduces all the major players and describes spectacular feats of espionage performed right under the Germans' noses. • Contains new research based on original sources • A real-life spy story containing all the drama and suspense of the best spy fiction • The first book to explore all three sectors of the spy operation: the Grand Chef's Western circuit in France, Belgium, and Holland; Die Rote Drei in Switzerland; and the Berlin network V. E. TARRANT (South Wales, Great Britain) is a military and naval historian and author of several books on World War II.

The Battle of Jutland took place on 31 May to 1 June 1916 as a plan to concentrate the German High Seas Fleet precisely against the numerically superior British Grand Fleet at a time and place of German choice, having lured the bulk of the Royal Navy into a trap in German waters. Bad luck, bad weather and the perennial weakness of such Great War battles - poor communications - meant the battle became a confused, rambling but desperately hard-fought conflict. It also became a pyrrhic victory for Germany since although the Royal Navy suffered higher losses in men and ships, the German fleet never ventured out of harbour to seek battle again. The decisive battle that was claimed by each side as a victory was in reality a defeat of the German High Seas Fleet. Amazingly, this classic sea battle has never been studied from the enemy's view. Now, for the first time in the English language a balanced and unique assessment of the German view of Jutland is possible. Drawing on many official sources, archives and translations of documents about the Battle of the Skaggerak (as Jutland is known to the Germans), the historian V. E. Tarrant has created this superb new study of the classic battle. The author provides a complete review of Jutland using hitherto unseen German naval records: an inter-war appreciation by the German Office of Naval History, High Seas Fleet War Diaries, Chief of the High Seas Fleet Operations Staff papers plus action reports from individual commanders involved in the battle and the letters and papers of Tirpitz, Scheer and Hipper. As well as this wealth of untapped original source material on German views and accounts, the author also discusses the technical and materialinferiority of Royal Navy ships plus a unique revelation of the role German code-breaking and signal interception played in their conduct of the battle. Illustrated with detailed action charts representing ship movements and dispositions hour-by-hour throughout the battle, and with accurate scale drawings and silhouettes of all major warships and classes from both sides, Jutland: The German View fills an important gap in the history and understanding of this great action.
