Myth Keeper - Roux, Sunee Le

. .

Résumé :
I thought I could leave the mythical world behind, but now it's hunting me... After the blood moon market in Rome, I thought I'd earned a quiet life. No more chasing creatures. No more secret councils. Just me, my search for a normal job, and the hope that I'd never see another monster again. Then the bodies started turning up. Dead people who look just like me. Something escaped the Colosseum that night. Something that followed me back to London. A creature that's devious, ferocious, and bears one hell of a grudge. Amari can't help me. Inside the Repository, she's fighting for survival too. A rival faction is using the creatures we brought back from Rome to challenge her authority - claiming she's too incompetent to take care of them. She's being forced to choose: protect the creatures and lose her reputation, or compromise and watch them suffer. Because the Elder Council is not who they claim to be. And Amari just figured it out. One false step is all they need to dismantle everything the Repository once stood for. If I don't stop the monster hunting me, Amari loses. The creatures we fought to save will end up back on the black market - or worse, cut apart for the Council's research. But catching it means going back into a world I barely survived the first time. And this time, my sister's caught in the crossfire....

Sommaire:
Following the events of the blood moon market in Rome, Ambrose Davids is ready to put the mythical world behind him and return to a normal life. Until a creature who had escaped from the Colosseum comes after him, leaving a trail of bodies in its wake. Does Ambrose have what it takes to save himself, and those he cares for? Meanwhile, the Keeper of Exotic Animals has her own battles to fight. Amid the greatest influx of new residents the Repository has seen in decades, Amari also has to contend with an obnoxious rival intent on thwarting her every move and a new apprentice with very different ideas on how to care for the creatures in their custody. Amari will do whatever it takes to keep her charges safe from the outside world, but can she protect them from machinations inside the Repository itself?...
