The warriors of the Nature Hunters Academies should be celebrating. By joining forces, they were able to defeat the demon, Dolion, and his battalion of witches. But no battle is won without cost. During the fray, two of their own were lost. Not killed, but taken. Aston, the air elementalist, was snatched from the battle by a woman riding a dragon. He'll soon find himself imprisoned in the dragon realm, and he and his captor share a bond he can't begin to understand. Shelly Smith, mate to the descendant of pharaohs and powerful fire elementalist, Ra, has once again been kidnapped by Osiris himself. It seems the lord of the underworld doesn't take too kindly to being bested. Needless to say, Ra is not handling it well, and it takes all of the combined strength of his friends to keep him from tearing after her on a suicide mission. The dark elementals have momentarily been defeated. But the forces of light aren't foolish enough to believe their enemies are gone for good. The dark ones will bide their time, hiding, waiting for the opportunity to strike again. Will the weakened light elementalists have the strength to resist them again when the time comes?

“The Age of Innocence” is considered by many critics to be author Edith Wharton’s masterpiece. When it was published in 1920, it was received with rapturous reviews and earned Wharton the 1921 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, making her the first woman in history to receive this honor. Set amid the aristocracy of New York City in the early part of the 20th century - a world with which Wharton was deeply familiar - the book relates the story of Newland Archer, a rich New York bachelor who has become engaged to fellow socialite May Welland. When Ms. Welland’s exotic cousin the Countess Ellen Olenska arrives in the city, rumors begin to swirl that she has left her husband - a European Count - and is seeking a divorce, a scandalous development for the time. Archer becomes obsessed with the Countess and his fascination with her sets up a love triangle between Archer and the two ladies, between whom he is helplessly torn. An enormously popular and critically acclaimed novel when it first appeared, “The Age of Innocence” has gone on to become and American classic and it has been adapted several times for the stage and screen, most notably the Academy Award-winning 1993 from Martin Scorsese featuring Michelle Pfeiffer as the Countess, Winona Ryder as May and Daniel Day-Lewis as Newland Archer.Voir livre
