The Complete Sylvan Investigations - Sylvan Investigations

Reprendre son ancienne vie, fuir à jamais la violence qu'elle déteste, savoir une bonne fois pour toutes où elle en est avec Sergueï, qu'elle a quitté pour le protéger, mais qu'elle aime toujours sans en avoir le droit... Voilà le rêve que Wren Valère caresse chaque jour. Mais, cette fois encore, les événements en ont décidé autrement : le Silence, organisation secrète sectaire et malfaisante, a décidé d'éliminer de New York tous les êtres dotés de magie, à commencer par Wren elle-même.
Ayant réussi de justesse à échapper au piège mortel que le Silence lui a tendu, Wren comprend que l'heure est venue de riposter, d'utiliser ce fluide nouveau qu'elle sent depuis peu courir en elle, différent, inquiétant, violent. Si violent qu'elle ne sait si elle saura le contrôler, s'il ne l'entraînera pas malgré elle vers les forces du mal.

La nuit des sortilèges

"He has been taken.  And you are his only chance."?When Jan's boyfriend Tyler disappears for several days, she's worried. And then she's angry. Then two strangers rescue her from a violent attack by creatures out of legend, and tell her that Tyler didn't abandon her - he was stolen away to the fairy court.  And Jan's his only chance to come home.  But her rescuers aren't human either, and they have their own secrets.."You can always count on (the) gifted Gilman to deliver richly layered fantasy filled with winning characters and well-defined worlds, and she doesn't disappoint with HEART OF BRIAR. (A) terrific series starter." ???? (4 stars) - RT Reviews"[Readers] will be seduced and enthralled by Gilman's metaphysical thriller about wicked elves, shape-shifting supernaturals and portals to another dimension..melds magic with mayhem for a tale of bravery, friendship and devotion." - Publishers Weekly"Calling this story a retelling of Tam Lin doesn't do it justice. Gilman has taken the bones of that fairy tale and reassembled it entirely, restrung with strength and ferocity and drive outside that pale relationship between a woman and her lost lover. Jan's journey starts to find Tyler, but ultimately she finds so much more. Another world, a war, and a strength and bravery she never realized existed." - All Things Urban Fantasy

Heart of Briar - Portals, #1

To make sure she doesn't fail, she has summoned help from someone more evil and powerful than she-the Shadow Companion. But what Morgain doesn't know is that the Shadow Companion has come with a secret agenda. Now it is more important than ever for Gerard, Ailis, and Newt to recover the Holy Grail .

Grail Quest #3: The Shadow Companion

Save the world, early and often. Three months ago, Jan had a crash course in the supernatural.  Werewolves, kelpies, elves, trolls -all real.  But reclaiming her boyfriend from predatory, abusive elves was only the start of her story.. Now, Jan and her supernatural companions have a new deadline: ten weeks, ten days and ten hours until the elves are able to use the portals again.  Until they overrun the unsuspecting world, and destroy it. Our realm has one hope: find the missing elven queen, and use her as a bargaining chip. But that isn't going to be easy...and time's up."The action in Gilman's riveting follow-up to the excellent Heart of Briar picks up after all-too-human Jan rescued her lover Tyler from the Elves, with help from some supernatural friends. Once again Gilman builds a rich world filled with complex characters whose motivations are varied and not easily defined."  ???? (4 stars) - RT Reviews"As always in Gilman's fantasy, every war has consequences and rarely is there a win without sacrifice. Human, super, and preter societies are colliding, and no matter the outcome, the world will never be the same... and I want more."  - All Things Urban Fantasy"Usually when I read a book about supernatural creatures, I want to be like those other beings, with cool powers or immortality or magic. Soul of Fire made me realize the power in being human." - Vampire Bookclub

Soul of Fire - Portals, #2

The first rule of lonejacks is "don't get involved.." Wren Valere just wants to do her job, collect a paycheck, and figure out her relationship with her business partner-turned-romantic partner, Sergei. No muss, no fuss, no outside entanglements. But when she takes on a job she shouldn't have, she finds herself once again in the cross-hairs of the Mage Council - and their aim is getting better. Meanwhile, tensions between human Talents and the non-human residents of the city are escalating, putting one of her dearest friends in danger. Her job, her people, and her city are at risk. And now, rather than her usual invisibility, everyone's looking at Wren to do something. So much for never getting involved.

The Collected Cases of Duchess, PI

Car Sergueï, son associé, son amant, ne sera pas à ses côtés cette fois-ci. Il souffre en silence d'un mal qui le détruit lentement, dissimulant jour après jour les brûlures que le courant magique de Wren inflige à son corps.
