Lorsqu'un traducteur fran�ais arrive dans cette cit� myst�rieuse au confluent de l'Hudson et du Mohawk, il d�couvre rapidement que quelque chose d'�trange impr�gne ses rues. Les habitants semblent pi�g�s, incapables de partir. Leurs ambitions s'�teignent lentement. Leurs r�ves se dissolvent comme du sel dans l'eau.

Mais le plus troublant ? Son propre sang commence � changer.

Guid� par des visions fragment�es et des manuscrits oubli�s, il remonte le fil d'une mal�diction vieille de trois si�cles et demi. Une mal�diction n�e de la col�re d'un peuple mahican d�poss�d�, grav�e dans la terre m�me au moment o� les colons hollandais et fran�ais profanaient leurs terres sacr�es.

Le "nœud des �mes" - un tourbillon m�taphysique au confluent des rivi�res - se resserre autour de lui.

Trois factions rivales cherchent � le recruter, chacune offrant une vision diff�rente de la v�rit� : les mystiques qui adorent Albany comme une entit� vivante ; les traditionalistes qui pr�servent un �quilibre ancestral ; les scientifiques qui tentent de d�coder le ph�nom�ne. Et puis il y a W., un homme obs�d� qui pr�pare un rituel sanglant cens� purifier la ville... ou la d�truire.

Au cœur de ce labyrinthe m�taphysique se cache un livre ancien - le Livre des Nœuds - qui contient � la fois la mal�diction et son antidote. Mais pour le trouver, le narrateur devra naviguer � travers les strates temporelles d'Albany, rencontrer les fant�mes de ceux qui ont essay� avant lui, et comprendre pourquoi son propre diab�te - cette r�sistance biologique - fait de lui l'interm�diaire parfait entre les mondes.

Une chose est certaine : pour lib�rer les r�ves d'Albany, il devra offrir son propre sang transform�.

Rives des R�ves est un roman de r�alisme magique qui entrelace l'histoire coloniale nord-am�ricaine, la philosophie du destin et une exploration visc�rale de ce que signifie appartenir - ou r�sister - � un lieu. Parfait pour les lecteurs de Haruki Murakami, Erin Morgenstern et Carlos Ruiz Zaf�n qui recherchent une fiction atmosph�rique et intellectuellement stimulante.

"Le sang se souvient, m�me quand l'esprit oublie."
