Le maître des ténèbres

Second part of "A Heroine Of The World" - First part: AaraDeuxième partie de "A Heroine Of The World" - Première partie: AaraAu bout d'une course effrénée qui la mène de Saz-Kronie à la double cité de Genchira, de mers démontées en obscurs navires d'esclaves, d'ateliers de peintres en cimetières antiques, Aradia retrouve Thenser.Mais son chemin, toujours, est celui de la révolte, et de la guerre. Hanté par son passé, à la recherche d'une hypothétique rédemption, il l'entraînera à sa suite toujours plus loin, vers un pays où fermente la rébellion, écrasé sous un soleil de plomb et l'ombre démesurée d'un leader charismatique. Mêlée à nouveau au fracas des armes, aux méandres de la politique, elle poursuit un chemin chaotique qui la promet, inéluctablement, à la terrible Maison de la Nuit...

Thenser  (Aradia #2)

Don't talk to strangers. Don't even look at them. The life of Roy Phipps can be summed up in a paragraph: He's fifty, leads an uneventful, well-organised existence in the house inherited from his parents, earns a modest income writing formulaic detective novels, and remembers, sometimes, his encounters with women. Roy's only aberration is the other novel he has been secretively also writing for years, the sprawling and florid story of the mad poet Vilmos, a study of murder, angst and alchemic magic. Then one evening Roy meets Vilmos, face to face. Of course, handsome Vilmos's double, Joseph Traskul, is only a coincidental look-alike. But in those fatal minutes a terrible bond is formed. For Traskul is, at the very least, insane - charismatic, predatory, lawless - a sort of human demon - whose almost supernatural powers, once provoked, will prove unstoppable. As the fiery shadows close in on him, Roy soon understands that he is now fighting for his own sanity. And probably for his life.

First part of "A Heroine Of The World" - Second part: ThenserPremière partie de "A Heroine Of The World" - Deuxième partie: ThenserDans un pays en guerre, une cité assiégée, la presque-enfant nommée Aradia apprend à faire face, et à survivre.À saisir au vol les étranges cadeaux du destin, et à en payer le prix. Pour une chance de vie gagnée pour un étranger dont elle ne peut oublier le visage, elle connaîtra l'exil, la solitude, le rejet. Projetée par d'étranges hasards au cœur des batailles et des conflits dans un monde voué à se défaire, elle se verra parente encombrante, servante, protégée innocente, maîtresse méprisée, châtelaine en bute à des faisceaux de convoitises...Mais toujours elle restera celle que les Cartes de l'Oracle ont désignée comme "l'Héroïne du Monde", l'élue de la déesse Vulmardra. Prête à parcourir le monde, l'abandonner et le vendre, pour celui qui, tour à tour traître, héros, ou libérateur, n'a jamais cessé de hanter sa mémoire. Tanith Lee, consacrée par la critique internationale "Princesse Royale de la Fantasy" signe ici une fois de plus un roman unique en son genre, à la fois historique et intimiste, sombre et éclatant, comme seule la magicienne du Dit de la Terre Plate sait les orchestrer.

He was Chuz, Lord of Madness, and he alone would defy Azhrarn's might. If Azhrarn chose to make a woman into a god, Chuz would play a game of his own design with Demon and mortal alike; a game that would result in life, death, and an ages-long conflict between Demon Lords.
