We don’t get paid extra for making them shit their pants, you know,’ I reminded him, my fingers tracing misfortune sigils in the air so that the volleys of arrows the enemy fired at us missed their targets. ‘Our job is to convince them to surrender, not commit suicide.’ The members of the Court of Shadows make sure Prince Dain stays alive and well informed about the doings of the Court. They steal, sneak and deceive to secure his coronation. Beneath my leather cuirass, a set of three intertwining sigils etched into my torso began to smoulder, then the sigils appeared in the air before me as floating scrawls of ebony ink, curves and edges glimmering. I could feel the seconds counting down towards Corrigan’s heart bursting in his chest.Way Of The Argosi Ferius Parfax will become whatever it takes to outwit the mages who destroyed her people. Estevar cursed himself for failing to notice the smaller piece of parchment tight against the inside of the case. He had to dig it out with his fingernail before unfolding what turned out to be an elaborate sketch of a naked man such as one might find in a medical text. What made it unusual were the strange markings covering the body: esoteric sigils in designs unrecognisable to Estevar despite his years of research into the esoteric traditions of Tristia. Estevar could barely restrain his laughter. ‘Has the cold and damp frozen that helmet to your head, Sir Knight? You speak of two hundred pampered, petulant monks as if they were an army of invading soldiers!’ Se van a cumplir tres siglos desde que el Rey de las Tinieblas se convirtió en vampyro y él y los suyos gobiernan todo el mundo, en especial Europa. En Francia, el hogar del rey, una joven plebeya ve a toda su familia asesinada por ser rebeldes, pero ella logrará encontrar una forma de hacerse pasar por una noble y ser enviada a la prestigiosa escuela para jóvenes en plena corte. Así hará todo lo que está en su poder por conseguir su venganza. L'esthétique est également très captivante, on s'imagine sans problème un monde baroque sombre, fait de dorures et de dentelles noirs, et de coupes en cristal remplies de sang... Pardon, je m'égare. (Oui, j'aime beaucoup les vampires, je crois que ça se voit...) Je pense sincèrement que l'univers mis en place a énormément de potentiel pour être développé dans les prochains tomes, et j'ai hâte de voir ce que l'auteur en fera !

En 1715, el Rey Sol se convirtió en vampyro, para adquirir el nombre de Rey de las Tinieblas, desde entonces su dominio se extiende por la Magna Vampyria: Francia y sus reinos vasallos, congelados en el tiempo. Mientras tanto, el pueblo lleva tres siglos sufriendo vivir en el miedo y perdiendo su sangre para alimentar a la aristocracia. Ahora, Jeanne, joven plebeya, asiste impotente a la masacre de su familia, y buscando la forma de vengarse, asume la identidad falsa de una noble para ser admitida en la Escuela de la Gran Caballeriza, donde se prepara para vivir como cortesano en Versalles. Así, deberá sobrevivir a las intrigas de los inmortales, traiciones y abominaciones que se encuentran en el gran palacio. Les personnages sont peut-être un peu fades et ne réservent pas de grosse surprise en comparaison du reste. Ou disons qu'on se retrouve avec un casting “dans la norme” - ce n'est pas bien grave non plus. Car j'ai franchement beaucoup, BEAUCOUP aimé ce début de série (qui promet encore de sacrés tours de passe-passe) ! Yet why would the Margrave of Someil be keeping abreast of a magistrate’s travels? And why would he make one of his knights camp out in the cold and wet until my arrival? Look,’ he shouted to the rest of us, ‘real live Auroral mages have come to cast our souls to the pits! Kneel before these noble miracle-­workers and weep for mercy, for surely the judgement of the Lords Celestine is at hand!’The thin silver thread binding the Auroral mage to Corrigan snapped away from him, whipping through the air with blinding speed before attaching itself to the old man next to her. Even when he saw the heartchain coming for him, he didn’t make a move to abandon her. Maybe he was her husband and such a cowardly thought never occurred to him. J’ai absolument ADORÉ l’ambiance de ce livre. J’avais lu le début de Phobos, qui n’était pas du tout fait pour moi, et j’avais peur de retrouver un univers trop jeunesse. Mais pas du tout - Vampyria veut abolir l’air des vampires clinquants pour remettre les monstres au devant de la scène. Que ce soit la Noblesse Vampirique ou l’univers qu’on ne fait qu’entre-apercevoir dans ce tome, il y a un énorme potentiel. I mean it,’ the slender, elaborately-attired Viscount insisted, pairing his outrage with a stomp from his emerald green silk with ivory lace shoe against the floor. vanaf de eerste pagina begint de actie en stopt dan eigenlijk niet meer, waardoor je echt door het verhaal vliegt. er gebeuren allerlei dingen die ik echt niet zag aankomen! wat ook heel erg tof is, is het feit dat dit boek divers en inclusief is. de personages zijn niet perfect, maar dat maakt het ook wat realistischer. Set immediately after ACOSF, A Court of Scars and Shadows follows Gwyneth Berdara, Carynthian and new member of the Night Court's inner circle, as she navigates her newfound reality of being a Priestess and a Valkyrie, while dealing with being mated to a male dealing with his own trauma, who doesn't yet know about the bond.

The Court of Shadows by Victor Dixen | Goodreads

I had to lean against him just to keep from collapsing to the ground. Poetic injustice spells are hard on the body. And the soul, I guess. se lit vite et facilement. L’intrigue suit son cours et nous happe. Je ne me suis pas du tout ennuyée et j’ai envie de savoir la suite. Quiet murmurs rose up from the audience, enticed by this prospect of illicit goings-on in the jailhouse. Estevar’s fever-addled brain rebelled against him, alerting him instead to the flush in his cheeks and the burning ache in his side. What business did he have setting foot upon the ill-fated isle at the end of that storm-drenched causeway armed with nothing but a rapier, his arrogance and a cantankerous mule? Fool of a fool of a fool, Estevar’s mother would have chided him – which was nothing compared to the lashing he could expect to receive from the preposterously young First Cantor when this last stop on his judicial circuit was dealt with and he returned to Castle Aramor.

Estevar glanced around the cottage for a chair that might have some hope of taking his admittedly considerable weight. This house was too small, the clay walls too close and the wooden rafters of the roof too low. The conflicting smells of baked bread and unwashed clothes, of rosemary hanging from the kitchen wall and un-emptied chamberpots in the bedroom upstairs burrowed inside his nostrils like earthworms, choking off his breathing. Există trei cerinţe pe care trebuie să le îndeplineşti ca să câştigi statutul de mag printre Jan’Tep. Prima este forţa, ca să îţi aperi familia. A doua este abilitatea de a mânui magia care protejează neamul nostru. A treia este pur şi simplu să ajungi la vârsta de şaisprezece ani. Mai erau câteva săptămâni până la ziua mea de naştere când am aflat că nu voi face niciunul din aceste lucruri. The Court of Shadows is a secret organization formed by Prince Dain. Its headquarters is hidden within secret passageways and rooms in the Palace of Elfhame. For the first time since we’d happened upon this unpleasantness, Quadlopo became restless. He blew hot air out of his nostrils and pawed the sand with his hoofs, trying to turn his head away from the mangled figures lumbering towards the child who was now lying face down in the sand, by all appearances waiting to die.

La medesima coerenza manca anche per i mortali. Se la Stilla del Re vampiro è così miracolosa e taumaturgica, perché in tre secoli non allevare mandrie umane in salute e senza più debolezze genetiche o malattie? Oppure, al contrario, se da ben tre secoli i poveri servi sono stati salassati allo stremo, come si fa a credere che ci siano ancora umani vivi in giro e facciano pure figli? Dixen excels at concocting unexpected detours and jaw-dropping cliffhangers. Anne Rice fans will be especially enthralled.” ― Publishers Weekly (starred review) The Court of Shadows has intriguing world-building and a protagonist with true, merciless grit.” ―Charlie N. Holmberg, Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Paper MagicianLos personajes, además, son la mar de reales, muy diferentes entre sí, y la forma en que llegamos a conocerlos tan a fondo, incluso a los que no son exactamente protagonistas, es de lo más genial. Ahora, me muero de intriga por Luis XIV. Espero llegar a saber más sobre él en los siguientes libros. Corrigan was my friend, which was a hard thing to admit to myself and an even harder thing to find in this profession. He’d saved my life more times than I’d saved his, and I know that doesn’t justify the choice I made in that moment, but maybe it explains why, without giving it a second’s thought, I conjured a poetic injustice. Entré a este libro sin saber absolutamente nada de él. A grandes rasgos puedo decir que me gustó y estuvo entretenido.
