Tricked once more by his wily half-brother, Lysaer arrives at the tiny harbour town of Merior, to find that his brother's ship yards have been meticulously destroyed and abandoned. But where is Arithon? The forces of light and shadow circle and feint, drawing ever closer to a huge conflict.

 Tricked once more by his wily half-brother, Lysaer, Lord of Light, arrives at the tiny harbour town of Merior to find that Arithon's ship yards have been abandoned and meticulously destroyed, and that the Master of Shadow has disappeared as if into thin air.

 Meanwhile Arithon and the Mad Prophet Dakar are travelling on foot through the treacherous Kelhorn Mountains towards the Vastmark clans, there to raise further support for his cause. But raising a warhost is a costly business. Is it mere coincidence that Princess Talith - Lysaer's beautiful, headstrong wife - is taken captive and held for a vast ransom by a master brigand?

 The forces of light and shadow circle and feint, drawing ever closer to a huge conflict. And in the background the Fellowship of Seven Sorcerers and the Koriani Enchantresses watch and plan, and wait.

Warhost of Vastmark

Une fois de plus, Lysaer a été trompé par son demi-frère Arithon. En effet, accompagné du Prophète fou, Arithon traverse à pied les traîtres monts Kelhorn pour rejoindre les clans de Vaste-Marche et rallier ceux-ci à sa cause. Mais lever une armée coûte cher. Est-ce une coïncidence quand la princesse Talith - l'impétueuse épouse de Lysaer - est enlevée et retenue en otage pour une importante rançon par un maître brigand ? Tandis que les forces de l'Ombre et de la Lumière se rapprochent irrésistiblement, la Fraternité des Sept sorciers et les enchanteresses korianies observent et se préparent au conflit final...

L'Armée de Vaste-Marche (Les guerres de l'Ombre et de la Lumière, #3; Arc 2 - Les Nefs de Merior #2)

Where there is light, there must always be shadow. The fourth volume in Janny Wurts's spectacular epic fantasy, now re-released with a striking new cover design along with the rest of the series.

 The curse that hangs over the Master of Shadow, Arithon, and Lord of Light, Lysaer, is drawing the two half-brothers ever closer towards direct conflict. For the Natural Balance to be maintained, the two must never fight. If they do, one is sure to perish and the Mistwraith will regain its evil power over their world.

 Even now, Lysaer - convinced of his own godhead and aided by the treacherous Koriani Sisterhood - is tracking Arithon the Masterbard through the snows and wastes of the winter-locked mountains and the Barrens of Daon Ramon. Arithon is tortured by the knowledge that for the sake of future generations he must not be killed, no matter the cost of others' lives now. Fighting valiantly to prevent unnecessary suffering, he strikes out on his own; but he is injured and failing fast.

 Meanwhile, the ancient Paravians are stirring, summoned by trespassers on their sacred domain; and the Fellowship of Seven are battling on many other fronts, as the Mistwraith's wards begin to break, and khadrim and free wraiths roam the land.

Peril’s Gate - Third Book of The Alliance of Light

Where there is light, there must always be shadow. The fifth volume in Janny Wurts's spectacular epic fantasy, now re-released with a striking new cover design along with the rest of the series.

 The wars began when two half-brothers, gifted of light and shadow, stood shoulder to shoulder to defeat the Mistwraith. Their foe cast a lifelong curse of enmity between them that has so far woven three bitter conflicts and uncounted deadly intrigues.

 It is a time of political upheavel, fanaticism and rampaging armies. Distrust of sorcery has set off a purge of the talented mageborn - none reviled more than Arithon, Master of Shadow. Through clever manipulation of events at the hands of his half-brother Lysaer, Lord of Light, Arithon's very name has become anathema. Now the volatile hatreds that spearheaded the campaign against Shadow have overtaken all reason.

 Those that still stand in Arithon's desperate defence are downtrodden, in retreat and close to annihilation. The stage is set for the ultimate betrayal.

La trilogie de l'Empire Tome 2 : pair de l'empire

Une histoire épique et grandiose, issue de l'imagination de deux des meilleurs auteurs de fantasy américaine. Kelewan, déjà évoqué dans les Chroniques de Krondor, est un monde mystérieux empreint de magie. Ici, au cœur des intrigues de l'Empire Tsurani, la très jeune dame Mara, seigneur des Acoma, doit guider sans faiblir les gens de sa maison à travers les horreurs et les périls de la politique de l'Empire et du Jeu du Conseil. Il lui faudra se garder des attaques des puissantes maisons rivales, passer des accords avec de sinistres brigands et conclure un traité avec les énigmatiques cho-ja, redoutables insectes combattants. Elle ira même jusqu'à épouser le fils d'un de ses ennemis mortel pour préserver l'honneur de sa famille et porter le combat jusqu'au tréfonds de leurs forteresses... Dans un climat qui ne manquera pas d'évoquer à certains les grandes sagas orientales (Shogûn), Raymond Feist, maître incontesté de l'heroïc-fantasy (Les Chroniques de Krondor, Faerie Tale...) et Janny Wurts, son alter ego féminin (Fugitive Prince, Sorcerer's Legacy...) nous livrent ici le premier volume de la Trilogie de l'Empire, une série best-seller dans une quinzaine de pays.
