Shadows in the Wind - Steyn, Rob

. .

Résumé :
Second in the four-book saga that is Shadows in the Wind - Aurora Inter Tenebras-Dawn Among Shadows. In the dreaming spires of Oxford, two young lives converge in a meeting that will alter the course of both their futures. Jamie Soper, burdened by the weight of family expectations, arrives to study politics, philosophy, and economics-the prescribed path of a Soper man. Julie Capriot, a French zoologist with a fierce passion for bonobos and their matriarchal societies, sees in him not just a student of systems, but a mind capable of reimagining them. Their connection is immediate, their conversations alive with possibility-justice, empathy, the fragile hope that humanity might yet choose compassion over dominance. As their love blossoms in libraries, gardens, and riverside walks, they begin to believe they've found a sanctuary in one another. But the world beyond Oxford is shifting. William Braithwaite's shadow lengthens, his pursuit of influence and power setting events in motion that neither Jamie nor Julie can escape. While they dream of futures shaped by empathy and truth, forces of corruption, greed, and violence gather in the distance. Aurora Inter Tenebras-Dawn Among Shadows-is a story of love, idealism, and the first cracks of tragedy. It is the intimate portrait of two young people finding each other against the backdrop of growing darkness, as the promise of light becomes all the more fragile. Perfect for readers of historical, political, and literary thrillers, Shadows in the Wind - Book 2 captures both the tenderness of first love and the unsettling truth that every dawn carries the weight of shadows yet to fall....
