Dans un monde brisé par la guerre, un groupe de jeunes soldats est prêt à tout sacrifier pour sauver ce qui leur est cher.
La terrible Fédération Karensa a conquis de nombreux pays, faisant de Mara la dernière nation libre au monde. Les réfugiés fuient vers sa frontière pour échapper à un sort bien pire que la mort : la transformation en créatures mutantes connues sous le nom de spectres et qui sont envoyées par la Fédération pour attaquer Mara.
Talin, qui a perdu sa voix et sa maison dans le conflit, a trouvé asile avec sa mère dans ce pays qui la considère comme inférieure. Elle fait malgré tout partie de la force d'élite de Mara, les abatteurs, chargés de contenir la menace des spectres. Mais au fur et à mesure que le nombre des créatures augmente, la défaite semble inéluctable...
Un jour, un mystérieux prisonnier est ramené du front. Talin sent qu'il y a quelque chose de spécial chez lui. Est-il un espion de la Fédération ou bien l'arme qui permettra de les sauver tous ? -
" Vous vivez la vie en étant certain qu'elle restera toujours ainsi, jusqu'à ce qu'elle ne le soit plus. "
Mara, la dernière nation libre, est tombée. Seule derrière les lignes ennemies, Talin est forcée de trahir ses amis et sa patrie d'adoption. Afin de protéger sa mère, capturée par le Consul, elle n'a d'autre choix que de se soumettre aux expériences de la Fédération et de devenir leur machine de guerre leur plus meurtrière : un Skyhunter. Red n'a pas abandonné Talin et il est prêt à tout pour la sauver des griffes de Constantine.
Il se souvient de la cruauté de la Fédération et de la torture que subissent les prisonniers dans les laboratoires. Bien que le lien qui l'unit à la jeune femme soit très faible, il pourrait être suffisant pour le mener jusqu'à elle. Ce n'est qu'une fois réunis qu'ils pourront rassembler les abatteurs et enfin espérer libérer le royaume de la tyrannique Fédération Karensa... -

Schwab, Red City is a dark and deadly contemporary fantasy of magical warfare, star-crossed ambition and the pursuit of perfection at any cost, set in a glittering alternate Los Angeles.

But as the two alchemists face off from opposite sides of an ever-escalating conflict, ambition becomes power, loyalty becomes lies, and no transformation may be perfect enough for them both to survive the coming war.

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Legend series I am tired of being used, hurt, and cast aside. Adelina Amouteru is a survivor of the blood fever. A decade ago, the deadly illness swept through her nation. Most of the infected perished, while many of the children who survived were left with strange markings. Adelina's black hair turned silver, her lashes went pale, and now she has only a jagged scar where her left eye once was. Her cruel father believes she is a malfetto , an abomination, ruining their family's good name and standing in the way of their fortune. But some of the fever's survivors are rumored to possess more than just scars--they are believed to have mysterious and powerful gifts, and though their identities remain secret, they have come to be called the Young Elites. Teren Santoro works for the king. As Leader of the Inquisition Axis, it is his job to seek out the Young Elites, to destroy them before they destroy the nation. He believes the Young Elites to be dangerous and vengeful, but it's Teren who may possess the darkest secret of all. Enzo Valenciano is a member of the Dagger Society. This secret sect of Young Elites seeks out others like them before the Inquisition Axis can. But when the Daggers find Adelina, they discover someone with powers like they've never seen. Adelina wants to believe Enzo is on her side, and that Teren is the true enemy. But the lives of these three will collide in unexpected ways, as each fights a very different and personal battle. But of one thing they are all certain: Adelina has abilities that shouldn't belong in this world. A vengeful blackness in her heart. And a desire to destroy all who dare to cross her. It is my turn to use. My turn to hurt.
