knows she's not anyone special. She might be brave and resourceful. She might possess a touch more magic than your average low elf. But, when it comes down to it, she's just another delivery driver trying to make a living. Admittedly, life would be easier without her addiction to a dangerous drug called spider's silk-but she's got her reasons for that. Nobody's perfect. However, Daisy's world changes when she crosses paths with Hugo Pemberville, the celebrated high elf who's well known for being an accomplished treasure hunter. He's also an arrogant idiot who deliberately destroys Daisy's life. Before she knows it, she's thrust into a treasure hunting adventure that she could never have dreamed of. Daisy is determined to succeed, even if only to show Hugo that he's not as good as he thinks he is. But treasure hunting is more difficult and more dangerous than she'd expected. And Hugo is more annoying, more skilled-and, damn him, more alluring as wellLa colline du dernier adieu: roman

Par Harper L Woods. 2023
Raised to be my father's weapon against the Coven that took away his sister and his birthright, I would do…
anything to protect my younger brother from suffering the same fate. My duty forces me to the secret town of Crystal Hollow and the prestigious Hollow's Grove University—where the best and brightest of my kind learn to practice their magic free from human judgment. There are no whispered words here. No condemnation for the blood that flows through my veins. The only animosity I face comes from the beautiful and infuriating Headmaster, Alaric Grayson Thorne, a man who despises me just as much as I loathe him and everything he stands for. But that doesn't mean secrets don't threaten to tear the school in two. No one talks about the bloody massacre that forced it to close decades prior, only the opportunity it can afford to those fortunate enough to attend. Because for the first time in fifty years, the Coven will open its wards to the Thirteen: thirteen promising students destined to change the world. If the ghosts of Hollow's Groves' victims don't kill them first... The Coven is book one in the Coven of Bones series and ends on a cliffhanger. This is a gothic, dark-academia, paranormal romance and includes elements that may be triggering to some listenersSisters under the rising sun: A novel
