Ce roman est palpitant, prenant, émouvant, à lire absolument ! Dans un univers fantasy inspiré de l'Inde moghole, les dieux sont endormis et leurs rêves façonnent le monde. Les Amrithi utilisent la magie, via des rituels dansés, pour apaiser ces rêves - mais ce peuple est aussi oppressé et chassé. Entre deux peuples, entre deux castes, l'héroïne va devoir faire un choix impossible. Coup de cœur !
