Fumée

Cette série transporte les lecteurs dans une Angleterre alternative où les individus aux pensées impures exhalent de la fumée, marque de leur déchéance morale. Tandis que la noblesse en est exemptée, les classes inférieures sont plongées dans le péché et la suie. Le récit suit de jeunes protagonistes dans un internat d'élite qui découvrent que leur éducation repose sur des mensonges, une vérité qui pourrait leur coûter la vie. Au milieu des dangers et des merveilles d'un Londres volatile, l'histoire explore des thèmes d'amour interdit, de poursuites désespérées et les frontières floues entre le bien et le mal.

    Readers of The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and Arcadia by Iain Pears are sure to be mesmerized by Dan Vyleta’s thrilling blend of Dickensian historical fiction and fantasy, as three young friends scratch the surface of the grown-up world to discover startling wonders—and dangerous secrets. In an alternate Victorian England those who are wicked are marked by the smoke that pours out of their bodies. The aristocracy are clean, proof of their virtue and right to rule, while the lower classes are drenched in sin and soot. Thomas Argyle is the only son of a wayward aristocrat. Charlie Cooper is his best friend. When Thomas finds himself under the boot heel of a sadistic headboy in the treacherous halls of their elite boarding school, he and Charlie begin to question the rules of their society. Then the boys meet Livia, the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family. She leads them to a secret laboratory where they learn that smoke may not be as it seems, and together they set out to uncover the truth about their world.
