Edmond Dantès, jeune homme naïf et plein de promesses, voyait se dessiner devant lui une vie heureuse et une carrière brillante dans la marine. Mais du jour en lendemain, son avenir lui est ravi : accusé à tort de conspiration par des rivaux jaloux, il est jeté en prison par un juge malhonnête et ambitieux. Il est condamné à passer le reste de ses jours au château d’If, une forteresse lugubre érigée sur une île au large de Marseille. Il y rencontre l’abbé Faria, qui lui confie l’existence d’un trésor caché sur l’île de Monte-Cristo... Après quatorze ans d’emprisonnement et de désespoir, Edmond Dantès parvient à s’échapper. Et il n’a plus qu’une seule idée en tête : la vengeance. Inspiré de faits réels, Le Comte de Monte-Cristo est un des livres les plus célèbres d’Alexandre Dumas. Le succès de ce récit sombre et haletant fut immédiat dès sa parution, en 1844.

Dans Les Trois Mousquetaires revit toute l'Histoire : le Moyen Âge parce que c'est une épopée chevaleresque ; le XVIIe siècle dominé par Richelieu fondateur de la France moderne ; le romantisme parce que des héros exceptionnels, qui ont disparu d'une société contemporaine dépoétisée, se réfugient dans le roman. L'auteur y a mis tout son art : la surprise, la vitesse, l'humour, la couleur, le sens du mystère et de la grandeur. Le lecteur se sent un instant aventureux comme d'Artagnan, séducteur comme Aramis, hercule comme Porthos, profond comme Athos, poète comme Dumas.

Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq have arrived in the shining city of Antica to forge an alliance with the Khagan of the Southern Continent, whose vast armies are Erilea's last hope. But they have also come to Antica for another purpose: to seek healing at the famed Torre Cesme for the wounds Chaol received in Rifthold. After enduring unspeakable horrors as a child, Yrene Towers has no desire to help the young lord from Adarlan, let alone heal him. Yet she has sworn an oath to assist those in need—and will honor it.

In this sweeping parallel novel to the New York Times bestselling Empire of Storms, Chaol, Nesryn, and Yrene will have to draw on every scrap of their resilience if they wish to save their friends. But while they become entangled in the political webs of the khaganate, deep in the shadows of mighty mountains where warriors soar on legendary ruks, long-awaited answers slumber. Answers that might offer their world a chance at survival—or doom them all . . .

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of balance. In a land where summers can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing. The cold is returning, and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. To the south, the king’s powers are failing—his most trusted adviser dead under mysterious circumstances and his enemies emerging from the shadows of the throne. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family as harsh and unyielding as the frozen land they were born to. Now Lord Eddard Stark is reluctantly summoned to serve as the king’s new Hand, an appointment that threatens to sunder not only his family but the kingdom itself.Sweeping from a harsh land of cold to a summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, A Game of Thrones tells a tale of lords and ladies, soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of grim omens. Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal; a tribe of fierce wildlings carry men off into madness; a cruel young dragon prince barters his sister to win back his throne; a child is lost in the twilight between life and death; and a determined woman undertakes a treacherous journey to protect all she holds dear. Amid plots and counter-plots, tragedy and betrayal, victory and terror, allies and enemies, the fate of the Starks hangs perilously in the balance, as each side endeavors to win that deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.
