La danse des ombres

As she says of herself, Jay is a 'chancer'. But she finds she is out of her depth when she meets the beautiful artist, Jilaine Best. 
Jilaine has everything - looks, talent, and wealth - even so her life is imperfect. In adolescence she lost her mother in circumstances both mysterious and painfully unpleasant. Now, unable to conceive, Jilain's one wish is for a baby - even if another woman gives birth to it. 
Jay can't resist this opportunity - she tells Jilaine that she, Jay, is pregnant. And so the great lie begins. 
It seems easy enough - for there conveniently is the handsome young cab driver, only too willing to make love with her... But the spun web is already tangling. Can anything result from it but danger - and destruction?

Tuer les morts

The world called Indigo turned upside down for Magdala Cled one unexpected morning. From being that world's only genetic misfit, the shunned outcast of an otherwise ideal society, she became the focus of attention for mighty forces. Once they had installed her in the midst of the Electric Forest, with its weird trees and its super-luxurious private home, Magdala awoke to the potentials which were opening up all about her. And to realize also the peril that now seemed poised above Indigo . . . which only she, the hated one, could possible circumvent.

La forêt électrique

Four-BEE was an utopian city. If you didn't mind being taken care of all your long long life, having a wild time as a "jang" teenagers able to do anything you wanted from killing yourself innumerable times, changing bodies, changing sex, and raising perpetual hell, it could be heaven.But for one inhabitant there was always something askew. He/she had tried everything and yet the taste always soured. And then he/she succeeded in committing the one illegal act-and was thrown out of heaven forever.But forever is not a term any native of that robotic utopia understood. And so he/she challenged the rules, declared independence, and set out to prove that a human was still smarter than the cleverest and most protective robot.You don't need to have read Tanith Lee's DON'T BITE THE SUN, which set the original scene, to find this new one of the same high merit that distinguished this author's THE BIRTHGRAVE.

Le vin saphir

First part of "A Heroine Of The World" - Second part: ThenserPremière partie de "A Heroine Of The World" - Deuxième partie: ThenserDans un pays en guerre, une cité assiégée, la presque-enfant nommée Aradia apprend à faire face, et à survivre.À saisir au vol les étranges cadeaux du destin, et à en payer le prix. Pour une chance de vie gagnée pour un étranger dont elle ne peut oublier le visage, elle connaîtra l'exil, la solitude, le rejet. Projetée par d'étranges hasards au cœur des batailles et des conflits dans un monde voué à se défaire, elle se verra parente encombrante, servante, protégée innocente, maîtresse méprisée, châtelaine en bute à des faisceaux de convoitises...Mais toujours elle restera celle que les Cartes de l'Oracle ont désignée comme "l'Héroïne du Monde", l'élue de la déesse Vulmardra. Prête à parcourir le monde, l'abandonner et le vendre, pour celui qui, tour à tour traître, héros, ou libérateur, n'a jamais cessé de hanter sa mémoire. Tanith Lee, consacrée par la critique internationale "Princesse Royale de la Fantasy" signe ici une fois de plus un roman unique en son genre, à la fois historique et intimiste, sombre et éclatant, comme seule la magicienne du Dit de la Terre Plate sait les orchestrer.
