Landless one-time king Guyime, once called Pilgrim but known to history as the Ravager, has survived the fall of the Execration - an event that set him on a path to find the legendary Seven Swords. Guided by sorcery, Guyime journeys to Carthula in the centre of the First Sea to claim the mythical blade known as the Kraken’s Tooth. Aided by three companions - the beast charmer Seeker, a powerful sorceress, and a scholarly slave - Guyime ventures into Carthula’s perilous underbelly to secure a prize guarded by ancient magics, cursed spirits, and lethal traps.

It is 200 years since the deity known as the Absolved went mad and destroyed the Kingdom of Alnachim, transforming it into the Execration, a blasted wasteland filled with nameless terrors. For decades, desperate souls have made pilgrimage to the centre of this cursed land to seek the Mad God’s favour, their fate always unknown. Now a veteran warrior known only as Pilgrim, armed with a fabled blade inhabited by the soul of a taunting demon, must join with six others to make the last journey to the heart of the Execration.

Jahrhundertelang baute das gewaltige Eisenboot-Handelssyndikat auf Drachenblut - und die außergewöhnlichen Kräfte, die es verleiht. Als die Drachenblutlinien versiegen und Kundschafter ausgesandt werden, um neue Quellen zu entdecken, kommt ein verheerendes Szenario in Gang. Claydon Torcreek ist einer der Überlebenden der gefahrvollen Reise durch das unerforschte Hinterland des Corvantinischen Reiches. Statt der neuen Blutquellen, die die Zukunft seines Volkes hätten sichern können, entdeckt er jedoch einen Albtraum.

Alex McLeod paid dearly during the war for independence from Earth. It left the detective disfigured, jaded and alone. In the aftermath of victory, Alex seethes as criminal factions and cold-blooded killers clash over control of the newly-liberated confederation. In his crusade for justice in the free states, he's willing to break more than a few rules along the way...

The only home Alex knows is the slums of Slab, an orbiting city teeming with lowlifes, back-stabbers and gene-spliced monstrosities. From the grimy streets of his city to the lawless Asteroid Belt, Alex goes toe-to-toe with a sharp-clawed vigilante, a mythical serial killer, and a gorgeous vampire with an ominous message. His quest won't end until his homeland earns the freedom it was promised…

But even Alex may not be able to stop the impending Reckoning and a voyage to the one place he swore he'd never return: Earth...

Auftakt der neuen Trilogie: Im riesigen Gebiet von Mandinorien gilt Drachenblut als das wertvollste Gut. Rote, grüne, blaue und schwarze Drachen werden gejagt, um an ihr Blut zu kommen. Das daraus gewonnene Elixier verleiht den wenigen Gesegneten übernatürliche Kräfte. Doch das letzte Zeitalter der Drachen neigt sich seinem Ende zu. Kaum jemand kennt die Wahrheit: Die Drachen werden immer weniger und schwächer. Sollten sie aussterben, wäre ein Krieg Mandinoriens mit dem benachbarten Corvantinischen Kaiserreich unausweichlich.

Ein Bericht von Lord Vernier, dem Chronisten der Rabenschatten-Reihe. König Tavurek, der in seiner Jugend das Töten in den Kämpfen gegen die Piraten lernte, ist mit vielen Gaben gesegnet. Die hervorstechendste ist sein Hass auf die Volarianer und die Kompromisslosigkeit, mit der er ihn auslebt.

A fantasy anthology featuring the deadly, the worldly, and the sneaky. Blackguards consists mainly of stories in established series, and the authors range from wildly successful indie authors to New York Times best sellers. If you enjoy roguish tales of scoundrels and ne'er-do-wells, this one's for you.

Author's note: The following story takes place in the same world as my novel Blood Song, the first volume in the Raven's Shadow trilogy. I wrote it because I wanted to more fully explore characters who appear in Blood Song and the sequels Tower Lord and Queen of Fire. Readers familiar with my work are sure to recognize a certain pale-eyed, raspy-voiced Sword Master of the Sixth Order, and those curious as to the origins of the Tower Lord of the Southern Shore will find answers here.

Unter Vaelin al Sornas Führung wurden ganze Kaiserreiche besiegt und er stellte sich einer bösen Macht entgegen, die schreckenerregender war als alles, was die Welt bis dahin gesehen hatte. Nun sucht er ein friedvolles Leben in den Nordlanden... Doch von weit über dem Meer verbreiten sich Gerüchte - ein Heer mit dem Namen Stählerne Horde treibt dort sein Unwesen. Es wird von einem Mann angeführt, der sich selbst für einen Gott hält.

Dopo aver combattuto fin quasi alla morte, la regina Lyrna è determinata a scacciare l'esercito invasore volariano e riconquistare l'indipendenza del Regno Unificato. Ma per portare a compimento i propri piani, stavolta non le basterà radunare le forze a lei fedeli. Dovrà scendere a patti con coloro che sono in possesso del dono del Buio, esseri ripugnanti che ha sempre detestato, e condurre la guerra alle porte delle fortezze nemiche. Adesso più che mai, l'esito della battaglia e il destino del regno poggiano sulle spalle di Vaelin Al Sorna.

Dopo anni di prigionia nell'Impero Alpirano, Vaelin Al Sorna è tornato nel Regno. Non è più il guerriero al servizio della Fede che era un tempo: ha deciso di abbandonare l'Ordine cui apparteneva e ora la sua spada è avvolta in un fagotto di tela, per non essere più usata. Ma anche il Regno è cambiato: sul trono che fu del cospiratore e guerrafondaio Janus, ora siede suo figlio Malcius, intenzionato a costruire palazzi, strade e ponti, e anche più tollerante verso i diversi orientamenti religiosi.

Pochi mesi dopo la morte della madre, l'undicenne Vaelin Al Sorna viene portato da suo padre alla Casa del Sesto Ordine, una confraternita di guerrieri devoti alla Fede, che diventerà la sua nuova famiglia. Sulle prime il ragazzo si sente tradito dal proprio genitore, ma la sua tempra forte lo aiuta ad affrontare l'addestramento severo e le terribili prove a cui tutti i membri dell'Ordine vengono sottoposti.
