    De concert avec les astres, le dieu Zodiak et ses 12 Gardiens gouvernent la Terre. Du haut des constellations, ils accordent destinée, pouvoirs magiques et protection aux humains. Lors de leur naissance, certains enfants demeurent toutefois invisibles aux yeux de Zodiak. Ces nébuleux sont alors envoyés dans les sinistres forêts des oubliés. Né en saison du Sagittaire, Ychandre de Sadira, protégé d'un centaure, est destiné au trône de Nusakan. Né sous une mauvaise étoile seulement quelques heures avant son jeune maître, Hibou a, lui, été formé pour une vie de servitude. Les rêves ne sont pas pour les nébuleux. Et pourtant, Hibou rêve les yeux grands ouverts.

    Avant de mourir, Ychandre de Sadira a convaincu son esclave d'accomplir pour lui son destin en montant sur le trône de Nusakan. En s'appropriant le talisman de citrines d'Ychandre, Jorik a obtenu la protection du Gardien Sagittaire. C'est donc avec le centaure Kaus dans son sillage que le nébuleux se présentera au palais de Gemme. Étrangement, les dieux ne semblent pas s'offusquer de cette manigance. Cependant, quel sort les hommes réserveraient-ils au nébuleux s'ils découvraient sa véritable identité? Jorik devra apprendre à évoluer dans un monde très différent de celui qu'il a connu. Il s'attirera la colère des courtisans de la princesse Saraléane, mais aussi l'attention des venimeux, de puissants mages noirs. Serait-il investi d'une mission divine autre que le destin que lui a confié Ychandre ? La trajectoire des astres se courbe parfois de façon bien surprenante….

Tous sur Terre ne sont pas disposés à accepter cette révolution que leur imposent les astres. Pour les mangoustes, des assassins sans scrupules, les nébuleux doivent retourner dans l'ombre qui les a vus naître. Et ces mystérieux tortionnaires ne seront pas les seuls à se dresser sur la route des chercheurs d'obsidiennes.

    Sommaire:

    Since she was born, Zee has had a talent, or a special intelligence. She perceives things that no one else does. Zee hears what people think, feels what people feel. Through their eyes, Zee sees herself, and that vision changes her. Sometimes Zee is the precocious daughter of her four adults. Sometimes Zee is a teenage thug from Brooklyn, New York, a teenage basketball player who gets into trouble. His four adults worry and test him, but Zee anticipates their fears and outwits them. Little by little, Zee learns to grow up and adapt to the expectations of society and the eyes of others, at the risk of losing herself.

Ses quatre adultes s'inquiètent, lui font passer des tests, mais Zee anticipe leurs craintes, et les déjoue. Petit à petit, Zee apprend à grandir et à se mouler aux attentes de la société et du regard des autres, au risque de se perdre elle-même.

But Mannie, the joyriding daddy of Bev's baby, has a half-crazed romantic agenda of his own. As one cold, miserable prairie spring inches toward summer, a series of unexpected and sometimes explosive decisions sends the trio hurtling toward disaster. A darkly funny portrayal of three unforgettable teenagers feeling their way into adulthood in an imperfect world.

    Liz Lighty has always believed she’s too black, too poor, too awkward to shine in her small, rich, prom-obsessed Midwestern town. But it’s okay - Liz has a plan that will get her out of Campbell, Indiana, forever: attend the uber-elite Pennington College, play in their world-famous orchestra, and become a doctor. But when the financial aid she was counting on unexpectedly falls through, Liz’s plans come crashing down...until she’s reminded of her school’s scholarship for prom king and queen. There’s nothing Liz wants to do less than endure a gauntlet of social media trolls, catty competitors, and humiliating public events, but despite her devastating fear of the spotlight she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get to Pennington. The only thing that makes it halfway bearable is the new girl in school, Mack. She’s smart, funny, and just as much of an outsider as Liz. But Mack is also in the running for queen. Will falling for the competition keep Liz from her dreams...or make them come true?

    Who knows you well? Your best friend? Your boyfriend or girlfriend? A stranger you meet on a crazy night? No one, really?

    Mark and Kate have sat next to each other for an entire year, but have never spoken. For whatever reason, their paths outside of class have never crossed.

    That is until Kate spots Mark miles away from home, out in the city for a wild, unexpected night. Kate is lost, having just run away from a chance to finally meet the girl she has been in love with from afar. Mark, meanwhile, is in love with his best friend Ryan, who may or may not feel the same way.

    When Kate and Mark meet up, little do they know how important they will become to each other -- and how, in a very short time, they will know each other better than any of the people who are supposed to know them more.

    Told in alternating points of view by Nina LaCour, the award-winning author of Hold Still and The Disenchantments, and David Levithan, the best-selling author of Every Day and co-author of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (with Rachel Cohn) and Will Grayson, Will Grayson (with John Green).
