    Lawless, J.R.H.

    Abstract

    If only fools think they can change the world, then a fool is the only one who can. Life doesn't pick winners and losers. That's for the corporations to decide. And they picked Liam Argyle for a carefree life of fame and fortune as host of the world's most popular reality show competition. Unfortunately, Liam doesn't do carefree. After two seasons of parading about the world's biggest victims on The Grass is Greener, he's been forced to put a happy face on one tragedy too many-and he won't turn a blind eye to the horrors of the corporate dystopian world of the 2070s any longer.

    Bertholet, Nadine

    Abstract

    Deux destins à sauver. Une armée à combattre. Telle est la mission des troupes d'Ilandar marchant vers la cité d'Ulthès, auxquelles se joint Kiam dès son arrivée sur Fumervar. Si le plan d'action semble simple, le déploiement des troupes ennemies en direction de la vallée de Darzark complique la situation. Une seule chose d'intérêt peut justifier ce soudain déplacement au travers des territoires hostiles du nord. La flamme d'Araltar, disparue depuis plusieurs années, a été retrouvée. Sa magie, combinée à celle de la pierre d'Elzyrion, pourrait avoir des conséquences dévastatrices.
