“How little you know of your own father. He took something I cherished long ago and hid it away. You will help me find it”The legendary Luck Uglies are the most deadly, dangerous band of men Riley O’Chanter has ever met – and her father, Harmless, is their high chief. Having been in exile for ten years the Luck Uglies are back in Village Drowning, but bringing them out of the shadows and back together was never going to be without its perils. There is bad blood between Rye’s father, and a sinister masked man named Slinister Varlet. As Harmless and Slinister vie for control of their men, Rye finds herself caught up in their dangerous game. Throw in a vengeful son, a dark curse, and a collection of thieves and smugglers and the stage is set for another page-turning adventure.

These stories encourage the reader to remember their deepest fears; stories that many of our elders still tell to this day, travelling by word of mouth through towns and neighbourhoods. Almost everyone has had goosebumps reading these stories and again the doubts appear: Can it be possible? For some, they are just stories to pass the time, to frighten children, or to teach morals, for others, they serve as idolatry, pretensions of magic and superstitions. It will be you, dear reader, who will decide how to interpret these stories which are taken from the townspeople and there they return, between what is told beyond our borders and our own myths and legends. These stories may be between reason and fantasy and you will decide. The author is clear in that he does not bow to either of the two sides, he only recounts what he has heard.

Het debuut van de bestverkopende auteur Morgan Rice van een ongelofelijke nieuwe fantasy-serie. EEN ZOEKTOCHT VAN HELDEN (het eerste boek van De Tovenaarsring) gaat over het epische verhaal rondom een speciale jongen van veertien, afkomstig uit een klein dorpje aan de rand van het Koninkrijk van de Ring. Hij is de jongste van vier kinderen, de minst favoriete van zijn vader en gehaat door zijn broers. Thorgrin voelt dat hij anders is dan de anderen. Hij droomt ervan een geweldige krijger te worden, zich aan te sluiten bij de mannen van de Koning en de Ring te beschermen tegen de kwaadaardige wezens aan de andere kant van het Ravijn. Wanneer zijn vader hem verbied om deel te nemen aan de try-out voor de Krijgsmacht van de Koning, weigert hij om bij de pakken neer te gaan zitten: hij gaat er in zijn eentje op uit, vastbesloten om het Koninklijk Hof te bereiken en serieus genomen te worden. Maar in het Koninklijk Hof loeren vele familiedrama’s, machtsstrijden, ambities, jaloezie, geweld en verraad. Koning MacGil moet uit zijn kinderen een erfgenaam kiezen en het eeuwenoude Zwaard van het Lot, de bron van al hun kracht, ligt nog steeds onaangeraakt, wachtend tot de uitverkorene arriveert. Thorgrin is een buitenstaander en hij moet vechten om geaccepteerd te worden, en zich bij de Krijgsmacht aan te mogen sluiten. Thorgrin komt erachter dat hij mysterieuze krachten heeft die hij niet begrijpt, dat hij een gave heeft, en een bijzondere lotsbestemming. Tegen alle verwachtingen in wordt hij verliefd op de dochter van de Koning, en terwijl hun verboden relatie opbloeit, ontdekt hij dat hij machtige rivalen heeft. Terwijl hij worstelt met zijn nieuwe krachten, neemt de tovenaar van de Koning hem onder zijn hoede, en vertelt hij hem over een moeder die hij nooit heeft gekend, in een land ver weg, voorbij het Ravijn, voorbij het land van de Draken. Voor Thorgrin op pad kan gaan en de krijger kan worden die hij wil zijn, moet hij zijn training volbrengen. Maar die wordt plotseling onderbroken, en hij wordt meegesleept in Koninklijke samenzweringen die zijn liefde bedreigen en hem, en het gehele Koninkrijk, willen vernietigen.

”La escritura y la locura no est?n nunca demasiado lejos..” ”La escritura y la locura no est?n nunca demasiado lejos, y algunos de los mejores escritores de todos los tiempos han sido tipos insoportables asentados sobre una l?gica cuando menos dudosa. En el Premio Nobel, Mois Benarroch nos obliga a seguirle a trav?s del humor, la iron?a y una cruda acidez sat?rica a trav?s de los devaneos de un escritor que se ha internado a s? mismo en un sanatorio mental y de uno de sus amigos, que se interesa por ?l para tratar de descifrar las claves de su mentalidad y su obra. Como tema aleda?o, o quiz?s central, la duda entre la popularidad y el trabajo bien hecho, el deseo de escribir para alguien sin llegar a doblegarse a los gustos del gran p?blico, un p?blico cada vez menos interesado en pensar en nada, y los celos entre los escritores, que se mienten sistem?ticamente unos a otros sobre las editoriales, los contratos y los ejemplares que han vendido de su ?ltima obra. En mi opini?n, aunque el libro quiere parecer un divertimento humor?stico, es una tremenda denuncia envuelta en falsas risas, acaso porque mostrarla a las claras fuese demasiado crudo. Me record? a la ilusiones perdidas, de Balzac, pero en clave de buen humor sefardita.”Javier Perez en Critica de Libros Mois Benarroch naci? en Tetu?n, Marruecos en 1959.Ha sido galardonado con el premio del primer ministro en Israel 2008 por su obra en prosa y poes?a.

Da Autora de Best-sellers #1 – Morgan Rice – chega a estr?ia de uma nova s?rie de fantasia deslumbrante. EM BUSCA DE HER?IS (LIVRO #1 O ANEL DO FEITICEIRO) o qual gira em torno da ?pica hist?ria de amadurecimento de um garoto especial, um jovem de quatorze anos, de uma pequena vila nos arredores do Reino do Anel. Sendo o mais jovem de quatro filhos, o menos favorito de seu pai e odiado por seus irm?os, Thor sente que ele ? diferente dos demais. Ele sonha com se tornar um grande guerreiro, unir-se aos homens do Rei e proteger o Anel das hordas de criaturas que vivem do outro lado do Canyon. Quando ele atinge a idade para tentar alistar-se na Legi?o do Rei e ? proibido por seu pai de faz?-lo, Thor se recusa a aceitar a um n?o como resposta: ele empreende sua pr?pria jornada solit?ria, determinado a abrir o seu caminho para a Corte do Rei e ser levado a s?rio. Mas a corte do rei est? repleta de seus pr?prios dramas familiares, lutas de poder, ambi??es, ci?mes, viol?ncia e trai??o. O Rei MacGil deve escolher um herdeiro entre os seus filhos e a antiga Espada do Destino, a fonte de todo o seu poder, permanece ainda intocada, aguardando a chegada do escolhido. Thorgrin chega como um forasteiro e luta para ser aceito e se juntar ? Legi?o do Rei. Thorgrin come?a a perceber que ele tem poderes misteriosos os quais ele n?o entende bem; que ele tem um dom especial e um destino especial. Contra todas as probabilidades, ele se apaixona pela filha do rei e seu relacionamento proibido floresce; ele tamb?m descobre que possui rivais poderosos. Enquanto Thor luta para compreender o significado de seus poderes, o feiticeiro do rei o acolhe sob sua asa protetora e conta-lhe sobre a m?e que ele nunca conheceu, de uma terra long?nqua, al?m do Canyon, al?m at? mesmo da Terra dos Drag?es. Antes que Thorgrin possa aventurar-se e se tornar o guerreiro que ele tanto anseia ser, ele deve completar seu treinamento. Mas talvez isso possa ser abreviado, j? que Thor se encontra no centro das tramas e intrigas reais, as quais podem amea?ar seu amor e derrub?-lo – juntamente com o Reino inteiro. Com sua ambienta??o em um mundo sofisticado e sua caracteriza??o de ?poca, EM BUSCA DE HER?IS ? um conto ?pico sobre amigos e amantes, rivais e pretendentes, sobre cavaleiros e drag?es, intrigas e maquina??es pol?ticas, sobre atingir a maioridade, cora??es partidos, mentira, ambi??o, e trai??o. ? uma hist?ria de honra e coragem, de destinos, de feiti?aria. ? uma fantasia que nos leva a um mundo que nunca esqueceremos e que vai interessar a todas as idades e g?neros.

A brilliant, intricate and magical novel from the Godmother of British fantasy.When Andrew Hope's magician grandfather dies, he leaves his house and field-of-care to his grandson who spent much of his childhood at the house. Andrew has forgotten much of this, but he remembers the very strong-minded staff and the fact that his grandfather used to put the inedibly large vegetables on the roof of the shed, where they'd have vanished in the morning. He also remembers the very colourful stained glass window in the kitchen door, which he knows it is important to protect.Into this mix comes young Aidan Cain, who turns up from the orphanage asking for safety. Exactly who he is and why he's there is unclear, but a strong connection between the two becomes apparent.There is a mystery to be solved, and nothing is as it appears to be.
