In A Day of Fallen Night, Samantha Shannon sweeps readers back to the universe of Priory of the Orange Tree and into the lives of four women, showing us a course of events that shaped their world for generations to come. Tunuva Melim is a sister of the Priory. For fifty years, she has trained to slay wyrms – but none have appeared since the Nameless One, and the younger generation is starting to question the Priory's purpose. To the north, in the Queendom of Inys, Sabran the Ambitious has married the new King of Hróth, narrowly saving both realms from ruin. Their daughter, Glorian, trails in their shadow – exactly where she wants to be. The dragons of the East have slept for centuries. Dumai has spent her life in a Seiikinese mountain temple, trying to wake the gods from their long slumber. Now someone from her mother's past is coming to upend her fate. When the Dreadmount erupts, bringing with it an age of terror and violence, these women must find the strength to protect humankind from a devastating threat.

With the awakening of fire-breathing dragons, Among the Burning Flowers sees the first sparks of danger that threaten to consume the world in The Priory of the Orange Tree. Take your first steps into the epic. Yscalin, land of sunshine and lavender, will soon be ablaze. It has been centuries since the Draconic Army took wing, almost extinguishing humankind. Marosa Vetalda is a prisoner in her own home, controlled by her cold father, King Sigoso. Over the mountains, her betrothed, Aubrecht Lievelyn, rules Mentendon in all but name. Together, they intend to usher in a better world. A better world seems impossibly distant to Estina Melaugo, who hunts the Draconic beasts that have slept across the world for centuries. And now the great wyrm Fýredel is stirring, and Yscalin will be the first to fall . . . A story of human resilience in the face of dire circumstances, Among the Burning Flowers leads readers through the gripping and tragic circumstances that pave the way for the opening of the million-copy bestseller The Priory of The Orange Tree.

Witness what the gods do after dark in the third volume of a stylish and contemporary reimagining of one of the best-known stories in Greek mythology, featuring a brand-new, exclusive short story from creator Rachel Smythe. "A refreshingly modern and surprisingly poignant take on the Hades and Persephone myth . . . steamy, often laugh-out-loud funny, and emotional."--Jennifer L. Armentrout, #1 New York Times bestselling author of From Blood and Ash "It is natural for a King to be curious about his future Queen. . . ." All of Olympus--and the Underworld--are talking about the God of the Dead and the sprightly daughter of Demeter. But despite the rumors of their romance, Hades and Persephone have plenty to navigate on their own. Since coming to Olympus, Persephone has struggled to be the perfect maiden goddess. Her attraction to Hades has only complicated the intense burden of the gods' expectations. And after Apollo's assault, Persephone fears she can no longer bury the intense feelings of hurt and love that she's worked so hard to hide. As Persephone contemplates her future, Hades struggles with his past, falling back into toxic habits in Minthe's easy embrace. With all the mounting pressure and expectations--of their family, friends, and enemies--both Hades and Persephone tell themselves to deny their deepest desires, but the pull between them is too tempting, too magnetic. It's fate. This full-color edition of Smythe's original Eisner-nominated webcomic Lore Olympus brings Greek mythology into the modern age in a sharply perceptive and romantic graphic novel. This volume collects episodes 50-75 of the #1 WEBTOON comic Lore Olympus.

Peurs de l'avion ou des insectes, de ne pas être à la hauteur, de dire non, du jugement des autres... Les angoisses, c'est souvent plus fort que nous. Et Mathou les collectionne. Avec la dérision qu'on lui connaît, l'autrice nous raconte ses doutes et ses frayeurs : les petits, les grands, les bien réels ou les délirants. Mais sans doute qu'elle n'est pas la seule à se faire des noeuds au cerveau, non ?!

La trajectoire bouleversante d’une jeune femme aux prises avec un feu qui la consume trop souvent Ce premier roman graphique de la jeune autrice et illustratrice Charlotte Gosselin parle de santé mentale du point de vue de la personne malade. Cette histoire permet d’accéder à une vision très personnelle, singulière et sans tabou du suicide, de l’automutilation, de l’anorexie et de la psychiatrie. Ce livre exprime l’hypersensibilité qui accompagne la maladie au quotidien, sans toutefois entrer dans les détails ni les termes médicaux. À l’aide d’images et de poésie, on suit la trajectoire d’une jeune femme aux prises avec un feu qui la consume trop souvent. C’est un regard touchant et différent sur les gens et la maladie. Au fil des pages se dévoile une forme de beauté derrière le drame, à travers les amitiés (notamment entre les patients) et la relation que le personnage entretient avec elle-même. La psychiatrie est un monde méconnu dans lequel les patients partagent une solitude et un mal-être qui, lorsque raconté de manière sensible, peut être ressenti de tous. Un livre intime et important, magnifiquement illustré par l’autrice.
