« Elle est une meurtrière ! » La vie d'Anaia Rose a basculé le jour où elle a tué quelqu'un par accident après s'être transformée en loup pour la première fois, une transformation inattendue. Détestée, abusée et maltraitée par les membres de sa meute, elle a été rejetée par son compagnon destiné, l'Alpha Amos, qui a aussitôt ordonné qu'elle soit enfermée dans les cachots. Le cœur brisé, Anaia a dû accepter ce rejet à contrecœur, se résignant à une vie de misère sous la domination de sa meute. Mais le jour de ses dix-huit ans, le destin semble avoir pitié d'elle et lui révèle un Second Compagnon : un puissant et dangereux Roi Lycan. Cependant, Amos réalise qu'il ne peut tout simplement pas se résoudre à la laisser partir. Avec deux hommes se battant pour attirer son attention et cherchant désespérément à gagner son amour et son acceptation, la vie d'Anaia devient de plus en plus compliquée. Alors qu'elle découvre des complots sinistres, Anaia se bat pour déployer le véritable pouvoir qui pourrait changer sa vie à jamais, faisant d'elle la cible principale des forces maléfiques qui rôdent dans l'ombre. Parviendra-t-elle à survivre aux ténèbres qui s'abattent sur elle et à trouver enfin le bonheur avec l'homme de son choix ? Ou succombera-t-elle à l'obscurité, perdant ainsi tout ce qu'elle connaît ?

Dans un monde où les meutes gouvernent dans l’ombre et où les lignées dictent la loyauté, Sélène n’a ni nom reconnu, ni héritage déclaré. Elle ne possède que son instinct, sa meute… et cette terre oubliée que les anciens ont tenté d’effacer des mémoires : Ravaryn. Mais Ravaryn s’éveille. Et avec elle, les secrets. Le Conseil, gardien d’un équilibre fragile entre les clans, sent le pouvoir changer de rive. Une femme que l’histoire n’attendait pas est en train de réécrire les règles. Et autour d’elle, les alliances vacillent, les loyautés se redessinent. Parmi ceux qui la regardent se lever, Elias, le roi des Alphas. Puissant. Calculateur. Déchiré. Il est celui qui aurait dû la contenir… et qui, au lieu de cela, la protège. Mais protéger Sélène, c’est trahir le Conseil. Et choisir ce lien interdit, c’est embraser les fondations de leur monde. Entre les terres qui grondent, les anciens pactes qui s’effondrent et une passion trop ancienne pour être maîtrisée, Sélène devra choisir : survivre à l’ordre établi… ou le faire tomber.

Comment vaincre un Prince Vampire sans passer un pacte avec une sorcière ? Je ne sais pas, on essaie toujours de trouver une solution, mais ça va clairement prendre plus que la vingtaine de louveteaux qui nous ont suivis hors du domaine de Greyson Dillon. Maintenant qu'Asher et moi sommes ensemble, on pourrait penser que s'attaquer au Prince Vampire serait facile, mais c'est une armée de griffes contre une armée de crocs. Et toutes ces griffes appartiennent à des loups nouvellement transformés et en chaleur. La guerre est bien la dernière chose à laquelle ils pensent. Si nous voulons avoir l'avantage, nous allons avoir besoin d'aide ; ce sur quoi compte la sorcière qui nous suit partout. Faire des pactes avec des sorcières ne finit jamais bien, et dire que celui-ci s'est mal terminé est un euphémisme. Vampire, Mordu est le troisième tome de la série Métamorphes de la Lune Croissante. Ce livre regorge d'âmes sœurs prédestinées, de femelles sarcastiques, d'alphas puissants, de vampires démoniaques et de tant de sensualité que vous devrez recharger votre liseuse...
