Can't leave the scene behind
The Orbit France site has a book trailer for La Cité des eaux. How awesome is that? (The text goes by too fast for my poor French to keep up.)
I started to make my own trailer for TDC back in the day, but it fell prey to the apathy demon. I should make one for Kingdoms.

A real translation follows as soon as I can type it up.

(Possibly I should get a copy of your French book. I need something good to encourage me to read the bloody language regularly.)
Translation.
In a city-jungle flooded with canals a revolution rises from the waters...
Spy and necromancer, Isyllt Iskaldur will have to choose
between her mission and the life of a man who has sworn to destroy her
Sink into the canals of Symir
THE CITY OF WATERS, impregnable and moving
Still waters run deep.*
*this is actually a proverb! Literally, it's "don't trust sleeping waters."
