Depuis qu'elle a découvert son goût et son talent pour la magie, Anouk, dix-sept ans, n'a qu'une ambition : devenir une sorcière. C'est la seule façon de sauver ses amis qui, comme elle, sont des familiers - des animaux transformés en humains par un sortilège. Mais contrairement à Anouk, les autres familiers ne sont pas sortis indemnes de la bataille de Montélimar. Maintenant que ses acolytes sont piégés dans leur forme animale et captifs du prince Rennar, la jeune fille est contrainte d'accepter un sinistre accord avec son ennemi juré, et de subir l'épreuve du feu pour devenir une sorcière. Mais bientôt, elle se rend compte que les familiers ne sont pas les seuls à être en danger. L'assemblée de sorcières la plus redoutable que l'histoire ait jamais connue déchaîne sa colère sur Londres... Anouk doit libérer son pouvoir et nouer de nouvelles alliances pour éviter la tragédie.

"Deserves a spot on the shelf next to the most beloved children's classics—yes, even The Secret Garden." —Shelf Awareness, Starred Review Described as "reminiscent of the Chronicles of Narnia" in a starred review, The Secret Horses of Briar Hill shows readers everywhere that there is color in our world—they just need to know where to look. There are winged horses that live in the mirrors of Briar Hill hospital—the mirrors that reflect the elegant rooms once home to a princess, now filled with sick children. Only Emmaline can see the creatures. It is her secret. One morning, Emmaline climbs over the wall of the hospital’s abandoned gardens and discovers something incredible: a white horse with a broken wing has left the mirror-world and entered her own. The horse, named Foxfire, is hiding from a dark and sinister force—a Black Horse who hunts by colorless moonlight. If Emmaline is to keep him from finding her new friend, she must surround Foxfire with treasures of brilliant shades. But where can Emmaline find color in a world of gray? A Kirkus Reviews Best Book of 2016 "Endearing characters, metaphors for life and death, and a slow revelation of the horrors of war give this slim novel a surprising amount of heft."—Booklist, Starred Review "In clear, gripping, flawless prose . . . this exquisite, beautifully illustrated middle-grade novel explodes with raw anguish, magic and hope, and readers will clutch it to their chests and not want to let go."—Shelf Awareness, Starred Review "Reminiscent of the Chronicles of Narnia, Elizabeth Goudge, or a child's version of Life of Pi. . . . Readers will love this to pieces." —Kirkus Reviews, Starred Review "Magical, terrifying, and full of heart. Open these pages, and ride true."—Newbery Honor-winning author Kathi Appelt "A remarkable book. Astonishing!"—Michael Morpurgo, author of War Horse
