La première BD qui redonne aux femmes artistes une place de premier plan dans l’histoire de l’art. Lors d’une visite au musée, Jo et Ben, deux jeunes ados, s’étonnent de l’absence des artistes femmes, contrairement à la grande présence féminine dans les tableaux. Apollon et Artémis, des statues antiques, vont prendre vie pour mettre en lumière le rôle des artistes femmes dans l’histoire de l’art, à travers le monde. Qu’elles aient excellé dans les genres académiques ou qu’elles aient participé selon les époques à des mouvements avant-gardistes, toutes ces artistes ont contribué à l’histoire de l’art avec génie. Ce grand récit en BD est ponctué de 13 portraits rédigés par Sophie Caron et illustrés par Louise Nelson. Un livre événement, un livre essentiel ! En partenariat avec AWARE, association à vocation internationale

Catching the bewitching beauty was easy. Keeping her? That’ll be more challenging…Being kidnapped by aliens was bad enough. But participating in a contest where she’s chased down (quite literally) and forced to marry the demon who caught her? That was a nightmare. Or so Aurora thought. But when the giant, horned warrior who catches her turns out to be unexpectedly sweet, she’s forced to rethink everything…Rhaego hadn’t intended to catch Aurora. He was supposed to win a different abducted human on behalf of her fated mate. But one look at her stole his breath along with all his best intentions. He’s never wanted anyone the way he wants her. Still…how could he expect a divine female like Aurora to stay with a blight like him once his mission is complete?Gathering the abducted humans and smuggling them out of his homecity, Tuva, will be no easy feat. When it’s all said and done, can Rhaego and Aurora turn their marriage of convenience into a happily ever after?

“I was born on the full moon under an auspicious constellation, the holiest of positions—much good it did me.” So begins Kaikeyi’s story. The only daughter of the kingdom of Kekaya, she is raised on tales about the might and benevolence of the gods: how they churned the vast ocean to obtain the nectar of immortality, how they vanquish evil and ensure the land of Bharat prospers, and how they offer powerful boons to the worthy. Yet she watches as her father unceremoniously banishes her mother, listens as her own worth is reduced to the marriage alliance she can secure. And when she calls upon the gods for help, they never seem to hear. Desperate for independence, she turns to the texts she once read with her mother and discovers a magic that is hers alone. With it, Kaikeyi transforms herself from an overlooked princess into a warrior, diplomat, and most favored queen. But as the evil from her childhood stories threatens the cosmic order, the path she has forged clashes with the destiny the gods have chosen for her family. And Kaikeyi must decide if resistance is worth the destruction it will wreak—and what legacy she intends to leave behind. The unforgettable tale of a woman determined to leave her mark in a world gods and men dictate the shape of things to come. "Patel's mesmerizing debut shines a brilliant light on the vilified queen from the Ramayana" (Publishers Weekly, starred review).

Erèbe d’Aigremort ne quitte jamais son manoir, traumatisé par l’attaque d’une créature de cauchemar pendant son enfance.

Lorsqu’ils découvrent que le véritable enjeu est de ramener la magie d’Exotica à Naturalia, ils se retrouvent pris au piège de complots politiques qui les dépassent. Arpentez un univers infusé de merveilles autant que de noirceur, inspiré des cabinets de curiosités et peuplé de personnages inoubliables, meurtris et faillibles, dans une atmosphère green academia.

Sixteen-year-old Deka lives in fear and anticipation of the blood ceremony that will determine whether she will become a member of her village. Already different from everyone else because of her unnatural intuition, Deka prays for red blood so she can finally feel like she belongs. But on the day of the ceremony, her blood runs gold, the color of impurity--and Deka knows she will face a consequence worse than death. Then a mysterious woman comes to her with a choice: stay in the village and submit to her fate, or leave to fight for the emperor in an army of girls just like her. They are called alaki--near-immortals with rare gifts. And they are the only ones who can stop the empire's greatest threat. Knowing the dangers that lie ahead yet yearning for acceptance, Deka decides to leave the only life she's ever known. But as she journeys to the capital to train for the biggest battle of her life, she will discover that the great walled city holds many surprises. Nothing and no one are quite what they seem to be--not even Deka herself. The start of a bold and immersive West African-inspired, feminist fantasy series for fans of Children of Blood and Bone and Black Panther. In this world, girls are outcasts by blood and warriors by choice.
