Arcane Masks

I had just returned from a business trip. The moment I stepped through the door, I scooped my wife into my arms and rushed her straight to the bathroom for a steamy shower together. We were kissing passionately when, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something: the toilet seat was flipped up. I froze. Seven years ago, my wife had read a post online claiming that when men pee standing up, bacteria splash onto the seat. She begged me to sit down to pee for the sake of her health. I have kept that promise. For seven years of marriage, that seat has never been up. A knot formed in my stomach, but the bathroom was spotless, so clean it looked staged, not a single stray hair anywhere. Then I noticed the shower temperature. It was set five degrees lower than her usual 43°C. Men like cooler showers. Women like them hotter… At that moment, I knew, Ruby Lynch had cheated on me.

Just another day at the office, or so Reyna believed until she logged into the game she was assigned to. Reyna worked as a game tester at Wolf Tech, one of the largest game developers in the country. The company just released a brand new full-dive Virtual Reality game, the day before the CEO of the company went missing. When she came across the CEO in the game, she learns that he is trapped inside. Not only that but if he dies in the game, he will die in real life. Since the game is a fantasy RPG, there are many dangers for Luka to face. To get out of the game, he must beat it. Because he can't do it alone, he must rely on Reyna to help him. He will also need her help outside of the game. As Reyna goes between the game and reality, she learns that her heart is left inside the game with Luka. It doesn't take long to also realize that not only is Luka a werewolf in the game, but he is also one in real life. To save him, she will need to face two worlds. One as an in-game fairy and the other as a human against the supernatural. Will Luka manage to beat the game, with her help, so he can escape in time to protect her?

Wake up, be fed poison, go to school and put on a show. Come home, have head knocked into the hardest thing available. Go to sleep and repeat. It's a day in the life for Kai Deneiro. Her solace is the many faces she hides behind and the performances she puts on for the world. When she's someone else, she is most loved. But, Kai has long since given up on any real notion of love. In her mind, it simply doesn't exist--not from her psychotic mother, not from her dead-beat, estranged father, and certainly not from the pretty boys with their flowery words. When she transfers to a new school, she runs into the most charmingly arrogant boy she has ever met, and things take a strange turn. When he runs into her wall of faces, he's determined to break it down and uncover the true her.

Titre : Les Arcanes du Désir Dans un monde régi par la magie, Morgane, une puissante enchanteresse, voit son destin lié à deux hommes que tout oppose. Julian , son amour d’enfance, est un sorcier loyal et lumineux, prêt à tout pour la protéger. À l’opposé, Dorian, un mage ténébreux et ambitieux, la désire avec une intensité envoûtante, prêt à briser toutes les règles pour la posséder. Lorsqu’un ancien grimoire révèle une prophétie où un seul d’entre eux pourra être son égal, la jalousie et les rivalités s’exacerbent. Entre envoûtements interdits, trahisons et passion brûlante, Morgane devra affronter son propre cœur et les forces obscures qui cherchent à la manipuler. Mais l’amour peut-il survivre aux jeux de la sorcellerie ? Et si le véritable danger n’était pas de choisir, mais de perdre son âme dans les flammes du désir et du pouvoir ?

« Croyez-vous en une vie après la mort, mademoiselle Rivière ? »
C’est un discours pour le moins intrigant que tient le directeur adjoint de l’Organisation à Allyn, après lui avoir fortement conseillé de le suivre dans un lieu mystérieux.
D’après lui, Allyn possèderait le même don qu’Axel, son frère défunt, à savoir celui de circuler dans un monde parallèle… mais dans quel but ?
Tout cela la laisse perplexe. Même si depuis deux mois elle vit une situation pour le moins surprenante, ce n’est pas pour autant qu’elle va croire en ce genre de chose.
Et pourtant…
Entrainée par le flot de révélations et le désir d’en apprendre plus sur son frère, Allyn doit se rendre à l’évidence, l’Organisation et la mission qui lui est confiée semblent bien réelles ! Et tous comptent sur elle pour reprendre le poste qu’Axel a laissé vacant, à l’exception de son coéquipier pour une raison encore obscure…


Depuis qu’Allyn a accepté d’intégrer les rangs de l’Organisation, sa vie n’a plus rien d’ordinaire.Son équipier est incernable, son colocataire fantôme refuse son aide et deux Anges Noirs l’ont dans le collimateur…Pourtant rien ne semble la décourager, pas même la recherche éprouvante d’une âme perdue lui donnant du fil à retordre.Ignorante des manigances qui se jouent et des dissimulations de son entourage, Allyn persiste dans la mission qu’elle s’est attribuée.Seulement s’il y a bien une leçon qu’elle aurait dû retenir, c’est que depuis son arrivée à l’Organisation, les choses ne se déroulent jamais comme prévu…

Avril 2017, Curtis Ignac a obtenu ce qu'il désirait : malgré ses sentiments pour Lucas, Allyn a accepté son héritage angélique afin de survivre à la menace de mort qui pèse sur elle. Sitôt arrivée à Hemera, on ne lui accorde aucun répit. Les Anges Noirs se font nombreux, les Anges Gardiens s'affaiblissent... Piégée dans une dimension dont elle n'a que faire, Allyn devra apprendre à compter sur des alliés pour le moins inattendus. Seulement fuir la menace ne la rend pas moins réelle, et cela, Allyn ne tardera pas à le découvrir à ses dépens.
