Résumé

The start of a thrilling new fantasy series by the New York Times bestselling author of Cirque Du Freak. "A brisk, entertaining tale that unfolds in a wonderfully bizarre world." Kirkus. When a young locksmith finds his way into the Merge, he discovers a parallel universe filled with an infinite number of unique, remarkable worlds. Setting off on the adventure of a lifetime, he soon makes allies and friends, but must also deal with the threat of cold-blooded killers, ravenous hell jackals, evil Empresses and more.
As his skills develop, he finds himself part of a perilous mission to save a realm from the forces of tyranny, but he holds the key to its success or failure, and he fears he might not be up to the task. The greatest challenge of his life awaits... This is the complete Volume One, bringing together (and presenting as one single storyline) the first three novels, Archibald Lox and the Bridge Between Worlds, Archibald Lox and the Empress of Suanpan, and Archibald Lox and the Vote of Alignment. "I read quite a lot during lockdown but nothing made me smile quite as much as these first three instalments in the Archibald Lox series." The Bookbag. "A masterwork of atmospheric writing.
I would not hesitate to recommend Archibald Lox: The Missing Princess to fans of Shan's existing back-catalog of thrilling dark fantasy adventures, as well as newcomers to the shadowy side of paranormal and magical fiction." Readers' Favorite. "Shan has created an alternative world that is extraordinary and imaginative with fantastical creatures that both delight and horrify. A soon-to-be fantasy classic." The US Review of Books. "Archibald Lox: The Missing Princess is fantasy, mystery, and a coming of age story all in one.
It's a gripping saga that will be appreciated not just by young adult audiences, but by adults who enjoy other strong YA authors who create fantasy worlds appealing to young and old alike." Midwest Book Review. "The Archibald Lox series is exactly what the world needs right now. It is inventive, magical and fantastical, terrifically readable and a lot of fun." Addicted to Media. "Filled with fantastic characters, true to form description, and Shan's distinct writing style, Archibald Lox is sure to enthrall readers of all ages." The Haunted Wordsmith. "High fantasy that allows you to step away from the real world and into a vivid space of wonder." The Reading Corner For All. "Perfect for fans of adventurous fantasy stories!" Mind of Luxe. "I loved everything about the story, and can't wait to see how it continues!" Rajiv's Reviews. "I believe that the Archibald Lox series has the potential to be the author's best work since The Saga of Darren Shan, it has the magical, dream-like overtones of Lewis Carroll's Alice books and the captivating, world-hopping drama of Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials.
I can't recommend it highly enough, perfect for fantasy fans of all ages." Books, Films & Random Lunacy.

Biographie de Darren Shan

Darren's real name is Darren O'Shaughnessy. He was born on July 2, 1972, in London, but is Irish (despite the strong Cockney accent that he has never lost) and has spent most of his life in Limerick in Ireland, where he now lives with his wife and children. Darren went to school in Limerick, then studied Sociology and English at Roehampton University in London. He worked for a cable television company in Limerick for a couple of years, before setting up as a full-time writer at the age of 23.
He has been an incredibly prolific and globally successful author, publishing more than 60 books in just over 25 years, and selling more than 30 million copies worldwide. A big film buff, with a collection of nearly five thousand movies on DVD, Darren also reads lots of books and comics, and likes to study and collect original artwork, especially comic art, modern art, and sculptures. Other interests include long walks, going to soccer matches (he's a Tottenham Hotspur and Ireland fan), listening to pop and rock music and going to lots of concerts, theatre, worldwide travel, sampling the delights of both gourmet cuisine and finger-licking junk food, and dreaming up new ways to entertain his readers!
