Plus grand que le ciel

Virginie Grimaldi

Description

The allies are trapped on Mistmurk Mountain and the God-Emperor guards every way of escape.

There's only one chance left: for demure little Maelys to confess to a crime she has not committed, though if she does it must turn her friends against her. And even if they can escape through the perilous shadow realm, the God-Emperor's armies will hunt them to the ends of the world.

Nish, Flydd and Maelys have no choice but to trek to the Tower of a Thousand Steps, on the frozen Isle of Noom. There they must seek aid from the implacable sorcerer who has controlled the world for an unknown but terrible purpose for more than a century – the Numinator.

But on that tragic journey they will uncover a deadly secret, a folly that has been shaping life and death in the Three Worlds for over three thousand years, and now threatens to consume them all.

You won't want to miss this 'unflaggingly inventive' fantasy series by million-selling author Ian Irvine.
