Every six hundred years, the yochni blinks, changing one thing about the world based on the wish of the last person it sees...In ages past, these wishes have created expansive empires, magical abilities, and even new and powerful species. They've also spawned evil overlords, terrifying monsters, and centuries of collective suffering.The past three wishes have gone to the bogeys-giant dog-like creatures with few physical vulnerabilities and incredible strength. Sixteen-year-old dwarven champion Mira Goldfist, suffering with the rest of her people under the bogeys' slave-keeping reign, wants nothing more than to wish them out of existence.That is, until she meets Atlan Qierce, high prince and heir to the bogey empire. Forced into a magical contract to travel with Atlan by Kraven Monteyeaux, a magical arbiter and reluctant medic whose rare and powerful sea dragon could help her secure her wish once and for all, as new dangers and champions reveal themselves, Mira will have to confront everything she believes about the bogeys-most importantly, whether any of them can be good and, if so, whether she can really kill them all.If you like the ticking clock of The Hunger Games, the wonder of Studio Ghibli films, the sage animals of Redwall, and the classic quests and camaraderie of The Lord of the Rings, you'll adore The Yochni's Eye.Buy now to find out who will get to make their wish.Accolades for The Yochni's Eye2023 Kindle Book Awards, Reader's Favorite2023 Kindle Book Awards, Young Adult Semi-Finalist2023 Shelf Unbound Best Indie Book Awards, Notable 100 Indie

A l'heure du dérèglement climatique, alors que les températures de juillet battent des records, la question des énergies renouvelables s'impose principalement sous deux formes:-La mort du créateur du four solaire capable de fournir de l'hydrogène pour faire rouler les voitures était-elle vraiment accidentelle? Son invention, bien que résolvant en partie le problème de la dépendance aux énergies fossiles, gênait-elle les grandes industries de ce secteur?-Le nucléaire est-il une solution puisqu'il ne produit pas de gaz à effet de serre? Ou est-il un problème vu les risques qu'il fait peser sur les populations voisines des centrales et quel est le coût d'un démantèlement?Quelques posts et commentaires sur un réseau social et en pleine canicule. Les esprits s'échauffent. Chacun campe sur ses positions et défend bec et ongles sa version de la gestion énergétique. Emerge alors une troisième thématique: la violence des réseaux sociaux, juste pour se distinguer, dès qu'un sujet quelque peu clivant est évoqué.
