by Crystal Smith
HMH Books for Young Readers, March 2019

Princess Aurelia is a prisoner to her crown and the heir that nobody wants. Surrounded by spirits and banned from using her blood-magic, Aurelia flees her country after a devastating assassination attempt. To escape her fate, Aurelia disguises herself as a commoner in a new land and discovers a happiness her crown has never allowed. As she forges new bonds and perfects her magic, she begins to fall for a man who is forbidden to rule beside her. But the ghosts that haunt Aurelia refuse to abandon her, and she finds herself succumbing to their call as they expose a nefarious plot that only she can defeat. Will she be forced to choose between the weight of the crown and the freedom of her new life?

Crystal Smith is a writer, photographer, and artist who developed an early love of storytelling in a family of voracious readers. She resides in Utah with her high school sweetheart husband and two lively sons. When she isn’t writing or creating, she can be found re-watching Jane Eyre or reading ghost stories with all the lights on.

Le prochain volet de la Saga de Recluce prévu pour novembre

HERITAGE OF CYADOR, le dix-huitième titre de la Saga de Recluce, la série de fantasy culte écrite par L. E. Modesitt, Jr., sortira en novembre chez Tor Books.

HERITAGE OF CYADOR est la suite directe de CYADOR’S HEIR, publié en mai 2014 aux US. Voici un extrait de la critique que RT Book Reviews lui a consacrée : “Modesitt is known for the incredibly detailed worlds he builds, and the ability to take those worlds through generations to show the growth and development of his characters. Cyador’s Heirs does not disappoint, building on the stories of the grandchildren of the great matriarch in the Recluse saga from childhood to early adulthood. Lerial is a fully realized character who is highly sympathetic to the reader, and has a depth of thought and maturity that will be immediately recognizable to Modesitt fans.”

HERITAGE OF CYADOR
by L. E. Modesitt Jr.
Tor Books, November 2014

heritage of cyadorScarcely a year after the events of Cyador’s Heirs, Lerial uses his mastery of Order and Chaos, the competing natural forces that shape his world and define the magic that exists within it, to utterly destroy an Afritan military force crossing into Cigoerne.
Five years later, Lerial, now an overcaptain and a field commander of Cigoerne’s Mirror Lancers, must lead three companies of troops into Afrit on a mission of mutual interest: neighboring Heldya is threatening to invade Afrit, and if that nation falls, Cigoerne is certain to be next.
The mission is both delicate and dangerous; Lerial’s value in the effort to repelling Heldya is undeniable, but his troubled history against Afrit may reopen old wounds that will never truly heal.
