À la fin du XIXème siècle, Judith Mill, une jeune femme muette et souffrant de fatigue chronique, emménage avec ses parents à Mill's manor, sur la lande irlandaise, loin du tumulte de Londres. Mill's manor et ses falaises, son paysage apaisant... et ses curieux phénomènes. Des pleurs retentissent régulièrement dans le manoir et une silhouette vaporeuse en arpente certains couloirs. Judith a peur. Peur de ne trouver aucune aide, peur des cauchemars qui l'assaillent et dans lesquels on l'attaque. Et que dire du mystérieux Griffin Bennett, son voisin aux airs de parfait gentleman, dont elle se méfie pourtant ? Que note-t-il dans ses innombrables carnets ? Quelle est la forme lumineuse qui apparaît quelquefois derrière lui ? Surtout, pourquoi Judith a-t-elle le sentiment de déjà le connaître ? "Des descriptions qui nous filent la chair de poule, un mal être que l'on ressent qui nous tort les boyaux." - Au Fil de l'Imaginaire (blog) "L'auteur s'attarde sur les descriptions, ce qui plante le décor avec un grand réalisme." - L'imaginaria (blog) "Si on comprend assez vite où elle veut en venir, ce qui est intéressant est de comprendre pourquoi. En effet les deux jeunes gens semblent liés mais on ne connait pas la raison. C'est autour de cette question que tourne l'intrigue qui dès lors nous entraîne avec elle dans ce huis-clos passionnant." - L'imaginaria (blog) "On a de la romance sans basculer dans le mielleux écoeurant, et je trouve que les mots viennent d'eux-mêmes." - Des Livres et des Cris (blog) Couverture © Le monde de Fleurine Pour en savoir plus : http://www.aude-reco.com/2016/02/que-se-cache-donc-derriere-hivermuet.html

A story about a prince and his pretty consort presumptive. Crown Prince Raffe, as the only son of High King Alizade and sole heir to the High Throne of the Ruemri Empire, is bound to fulfill one important duty for the crown. Even if that duty involves marrying a faie chosen for him by his father and the Twelve Clans, the same sharp-mouthed faie who broke his nose at their first encounter a decade ago. Soren-sharp-mouthed, sarcastic, and breathtakingly pretty-is the youngest son of Thar Idana. He convinced himself that he was prepared for everything-passing the Medical Licensing Examination, living in Ruemreon, and the new life waiting for him once he became a court healer. What he never expected, however, was to find himself betrothed to the heir of the empire, the same man who punched him as a greeting mere seconds after they first saw each other. - King xx Consort Fantasy Romance Contains hermaphrodism & mpreg English
