As she fights to assert her authority in readiness for the coming conflict, she faces a surely insurmountable task: reigning in the ferocity of a wolf god.

Mientras los susurros de guerra resuenan en la tierra de Vigrið, el destino sigue los pasos de tres guerreros: una cazadora en una búsqueda peligrosa, una mujer noble que busca la fama en la batalla y un esclavo que busca venganza entre los mercenarios conocidos como los Hermanos de Sangre. Los tres darán forma al destino del mundo, ya que una vez más cae bajo la sombra de los dioses.

Reminds me of why I became a fantasy enthusiast in the first place. Fantasy can be an escape from reality, but some stories carry the reader to an enhanced reality, a place where the world seems to have brighter colours and sharper contrasts' - Robin Hobb on A Time of Dread (book one)Defy the darkness. Defend the light . . . At the battle of Starstone Lake, Drem and his friends witnessed horrors they'll never forget. They saw magic warping men into beasts and a demon rise from the dead, creating something new and terrifying. So they flee to warn the Order of the Bright Star. But the demons' high priestess, Fritha, is determined to hunt them down.Concealed in Forn Forest, Riv struggles to understand her half-breed lineage. It represents the warrior angels' most dangerous secret, so when their high captain tracks her down, he aims to kill. Meanwhile, demonic forces are gathering a mighty war-host, to crush their enemies and rule the world of man. And the angels are already fractured and facing betrayal. Like heroes of old, Riv, Drem and the Bright Star's warriors must battle to save their land. But can the light triumph when the dark is rising?A Time of Blood, the second book in the Of Blood and Bone series, is the spectacular follow-up to A Time of Dread by John Gwynne. 'A great read that accelerates the pace and goes one up on its excellent predecessor . . . Exciting, action-packed fantasy' - Mark Lawrence'This is extraordinarily good, an epic feat of the imagination. In this series Gwynne is setting a new benchmark in fantasy. I'd love to see it on screen' - Giles Kristian

A Time of Blood

Il y a bien longtemps que les humains sont arrivés sur les Terres Bannies, qu'ils ont disputées victorieusement aux clans de géants qui les peuplaient. Des terres que l'affrontement entre les dieux antagonistes Asroth et Elyon a bien failli détruire. Aussi, quand cette guerre larvée menace d'éclater à nouveau, bien des destins vont se trouver bouleversés. À commencer par celui du jeune Corban, qui aspire à manier l'épée et la lance pour protéger son royaume et va devoir mettre son courage à l'épreuve bien plus vite que prévu. Mais la prophétie indique que l'obscurité et la lumière exigeront deux champions, le Soleil Noir et l'Étoile Vive. Il serait sage de rechercher les deux, car si le Soleil Noir prend l'ascendant, les espoirs et les rêves de l'humanité tomberont en poussière. Sauf que personne ne sait qui ils sont, à commencer par eux-mêmes. Alors que les géants s'agitent de nouveau et que le chaos semble sur le point de s'abattre sur les Terres Bannies, le Haut Roi Aquilus tente de former une alliance avec les autres souverains pour sauver le monde des humains. Mais tous ses alliés n'ont pas la même vision de l'avenir...

El hambre de los dioses

Pokračování oceňované seversky laděné fantasy série Krvopřísežní Bájná dračí bohyně Lik-Rifa byla osvobozena ze svého věčného vězení. Nyní osnuje nový věk krve a dobyvačných tažení. Orka pokračuje v pátrání po svém zmizelém synovi, Krvopřísežní se v zoufalém závodě o záchranu jedné své členky ženou na jih — a Varg podniká první kroky za pomstou. Elva slíbila, že splní krevní přísahu a zachrání zajatce ze spárů Lik-Rify a jejích drakorozených následovníků, nejprve ale musí přesvědčit Líté bijce, aby ji následovali. Ani Krvopřísežní a Lítí bijci však nemohou dračí bohyni čelit sami. Jejich naděje spočívá v šílených spisech spoutaného boha. V knize zakázaných kouzel, s níž dokážou vzkřísit vlčího boha Úlfriho… a vyvolat bitvu, která otřese základy země. ––– Hlad bohů je dechberoucí, nemilosrdně brutální severský mytologický příběh od skutečně mistrovského vypravěče. — The Fantasy Hive Mistrovsky zpracovaná, brutálně přesvědčivá epická fantasy inspirovaná severskou kulturou. — Anthony Ryan, autor trilogie Stín krkavce John Gwynne píše skvěle — a jeho emotivní, přesto však promyšlené vypravěčství, v němž se snoubí jazyk dávných ság s tím moderním, posouvá Stín bohů ve spojení s bezbřehou fantazií do hájemství knih, na které se nezapomíná a které se odkládají jen stěží. — Pevnost o románu Stín bohů
