Kricket Hollowell never wished upon stars. She was too busy hiding in plain sight, eluding Chicago’s foster care system. As her eighteenth birthday approaches, she now eagerly anticipates the day she’ll stop running and finally find her place in the world. That day comes when she meets a young Etharian soldier named Trey Allairis, who has been charged with coming to Earth to find Kricket and transport her to her true home. As danger draws close, he must protect her until she can wield the powers she cannot use on Earth…and he soon realizes that counting a galaxy of stars would be easier than losing this extraordinary girl. Kyon knows the powerful depths of Kricket’s gifts—gifts he’ll control when he takes her for his tribe and leads the forces that will claim Ethar and destroy his enemies, starting with Trey Allairis. Now, Kricket faces the most difficult choice of her life: whether to wage a battle for survival or a fight for love. Winner of four 2014 utopYA Awards, including Best Book of the Year and Best Sci-Fi Book of the Year. |

Eighteen-year-old Kricket Hollowell was looking for her place in the world when she discovered that the universe was bigger—and more dangerous—than she had ever dreamed. Now, whisked across space to the planet Ethar, Kricket learns that her genetic ability to see the future makes her a sought-after commodity…and the catalyst for war between her star-crossed parents’ clans. According to Alameedan prophecy, one house will rise to power and the other will be completely wiped out, and Kricket’s precognition is believed to be the weapon that will tip the scales. A target of both the Rafe and the Alameeda houses, Kricket finds protection—and a home—in the arms of Trey, her Etharian bodyguard-turned-boyfriend. But her visions of what’s to come disturb her deeply, especially since she must discover whether the gift of foresight will allow her to rewrite the future, or if her fate is as immovable as the stars. Winner of the 2015 UtopYA Awards for Book of the Year, Best Book Hangover, Best Couple (Kricket & Trey), and Author of the Year. |

Kyon Ensin finally has what he’s always wanted: possession of Kricket Hollowell, the priestess who foresees the future. Together, their combined power will be unrivaled. Kricket, however, doesn’t crave the crown of Ethar—she has an unbreakable desire to live life on her own terms, a life that she desperately wants to share with her love, Trey Allairis. As conspiracies rage in the war for Ethar, Kricket’s so-called allies want to use her as a spy. Even those held closest cannot be trusted—including Astrid, her sister, and Giffen, a member of a mysterious order with a hidden agenda. But Kricket’s resolve will not allow her to be used as anyone’s pawn, even as the Brotherhood sharpens its plans to cut out her heart. As the destiny prophesied by her mother approaches, Kricket will backtrack through her fiery future to reshape it. For she knows one thing above all else: the only person she can truly count on is herself. Winner of the 2016 Utopia Awards for Best Edited Book, Best Book Hangover, and Best Book Quote. |

De sa vie, Kricket n’a jamais prié sa bonne étoile, trop occupée qu’elle était à se cacher dans Chicago pour échapper au système de placement familial de la ville. À l’approche de son dix-huitième anniversaire, elle n’a qu’un seul désir : cesser de fuir et trouver enfin sa place dans le monde. Ce jour finit par arriver lorsqu’elle rencontre Trey Allairis, un jeune soldat étharien qui a pour mission de venir chercher l’orpheline sur Terre et la ramener sur sa planète d’origine. Quand le danger se rapproche, Trey doit protéger Kricket jusqu’à ce qu’elle ait appris à manier les pouvoirs qu’elle ne pouvait utiliser sur Terre. Kyon, qui revendique Kricket comme membre de son clan, connaît la puissance des dons surnaturels qu’elle possède, des dons qu’il compte bien utiliser à son avantage afin de s’imposer à la tête des factions qui cherchent à régner sur Éthar, et d’anéantir tous ses ennemis, à commencer par Trey Allairis lui-même. Kricket devra alors faire face au dilemme le plus déchirant de son existence : lutter pour sa survie ou se battre pour sauver son amour. Cet ouvrage a remporté quatre récompenses aux utopYA 2014, dont le prix du meilleur livre et celui du meilleur livre de science-fiction de l’année. |
