From the New York Times bestselling author and co-author of The Expanse comes an "atmospheric and fascinating" novel that unfolds within the walls of a single great city, over the course of one tumultuous year (Joe Abercrombie, author of A Little Hatred). Kithamar is a center of trade and wealth, an ancient city with a long, bloody history where countless thousands live and their stories endure. This is Garreth’s. Garreth Left is heir to one of Kithamar’s most prominent merchant families. The path of his life was paved long before he was born. Learn the family trade, marry to secure wealthy in-laws, and inherit the business when the time is right. But to Garreth, a life chosen for him is no life at all. In one night, a chance meeting with an enigmatic stranger changes everything. He falls in love with a woman whose name he doesn’t even know, and he will do anything to find her again. His search leads him down corridors and alleys that are best left unexplored, where ancient gods hide in the shadows, and every deal made has a dangerous edge. The path that Garreth chooses will change the course of not only those he loves, but the entire future of Kithamar’s citizens. In Kithamar, every story matters -- and the fate of the city is woven from them all.

Da entkommt ein anderer menschlicher Gefangener der Kontrolle der Aliens. Diese zwingen Ramon, den Flüchtigen für sie zu verfolgen. Er soll ihn aufhalten, bevor die Kolonie von der Existenz der Aliens erfährt. Aber vielleicht ist das auch die Gelegenheit für seine eigene Flucht?

Ramon Espejo est un dur à cuire, un homme qu'on ne pousse à bout qu'à ses risques et périls. L'ambassadeur européan en a fait l'amère expérience et l'a payé de sa vie, contraignant Ramon à s'enfuir. Pour échapper à la police, celui-ci s'enfonce au cour d'une région encore inexplorée de la planète São Paulo et fait une découverte qui pourrait avoir des répercussions à l'échelle de la galaxie. Il est alors entraîné bien malgré lui dans une course-poursuite d'un genre très particulier. Un roman d'aventure intelligent et surprenant écrit par une triade d'écrivains dont le talent n'est plus à démontrer, comptabilisant à eux trois un nombre de prix record.

When a private envoy of the queen and member of Lord Carmichael's discreet service goes missing, Balfour and Meriwether are asked to look into the affair. They will find a labyrinth of dreams, horrors risen from hell, prophecy, sexual perversion, and an abandoned farmhouse on the moors outside Harrowmoor Sanitarium. The earth itself will bare its secrets and the Empire itself will tremble in the face of the hidden dangers they discover, but the greatest peril is the one they have brought with them. Balfour and Meriwether in the Incident of the Harrowmoor Dogs is the first novella length work in the Balfour and Meriwether stories by Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Award nominated author Daniel Abraham.

A value-priced omnibus of the first two novels of Daniel Abraham's classic Long Price Quartet—groundbreaking, unique fantasy of rare power and originality In this omnibus edition of A Shadow in Summer and A Betrayal in Winter, the aggressively expansionist Galt empire has already conquered lands across a huge continent. But the cities of the Khaiem resist Galt's power with the andat—creatures of magic with godlike powers. Each andat is brought into being by a "poet" who must say the right words and exert the iron will needed to control gods. The industrialized Galt war machine is helpless against the powers of the andat...but political intrigue and deep treachery combine to shift the balance of power in a world of ancient empires and immortal magics. One man, Otah Machi, stands at the crossroads of history in these imaginary world fantasies, the fulcrum around which the wheels of epic history rotate through achingly poignant cycles of life and death, love and betrayal. Shadow and Betrayal marks Daniel Abraham as one of today's most brilliantly original young fantasy writers.

L'Empire galtique a de tout temps convoité les richesses du Khaiem, mais le pouvoir des andats avait jusque-là réussi à le dissuader d'attaquer. Balasar Gice, l'impitoyable général en chef de l'armée de Galt n'a qu'une obsession : les empêcher de détruire le monde, comme ils l'ont déjà fait plusieurs siècles auparavant. Balasar détient désormais une arme secrète qui pourrait annihiler à jamais le Khaiem et ses esprits magiques...

Het fantasydebuut van een groot talent. De Andat zijn natuurkrachten die door de Poëten gebonden kunnen worden en belichaamd in menselijke vorm. De handel in de Zomersteden is afhankelijk geworden van hen. De langverwachte crisis komt als de Andat Zaadloos erin lijkt te slagen zijn meester, de Poëet Heshai-kvo, tot waanzin te drijven en zo zijn vrijheid te herwinnen. Tot overmaat van ramp raakt Heshai-kvo’s leerling Maati betrokken bij een complot om de stad ten val te brengen. Met hem is Otah, zijn voormalige leermeester, die door de dood van zijn broers plots de opvolger van de heerser van de stad lijkt te zijn geworden. Daniel Abraham is zonder twijfel een van de grootste nieuwe talenten van de nieuwe lichting fantasyauteurs. De Andat bevat geloofwaardige personages, magie en avontuur, politieke intriges, verteld met een fijn gevoel voor drama.

Een groots fantasyepos van een erkend stilist in het genre. Als jongetje werd Otah Machi verbannen uit zijn ouderlijk huis, de heersende Machi-dynastie. Decennia later heeft hij deelgenomen aan wereldveranderende gebeurtenissen. Toch is hij nooit teruggekeerd naar Machi. Nu ligt zijn vader - de Khai, of heerser, van Machi - op sterven en zijn oudste broer Biitrah is vermoord. Otah beseft dat hij terug moet keren naar Machi, vanwege redenen die zelfs hij niet kan bevatten. Subtiele magie, politieke intriges, een scherp gevoel voor menselijk drama en een meeslepende vertellersstem kenmerken het werk van Daniel Abraham, die daarmee een plek in de top van de fantasywereld heeft veroverd.

"Everything I look for in a fantasy." -- George R. R. Martin All paths lead to war. . . Marcus' hero days are behind him. He knows too well that even the smallest war still means somebody's death. When his men are impressed into a doomed army, staying out of a battle he wants no part of requires some unorthodox steps. Cithrin is an orphan, ward of a banking house. Her job is to smuggle a nation's wealth across a war zone, hiding the gold from both sides. She knows the secret life of commerce like a second language, but the strategies of trade will not defend her from swords. Geder, sole scion of a noble house, has more interest in philosophy than in swordplay. A poor excuse for a soldier, he is a pawn in these games. No one can predict what he will become. Falling pebbles can start a landslide. A spat between the Free Cities and the Severed Throne is spiraling out of control. A new player rises from the depths of history, fanning the flames that will sweep the entire region onto The Dragon's Path -- the path to war. The Dagger and the Coin The Dragon's Path The King's Blood The Tyrant's Law The Widow's House The Spider's War

Le gouverneur de la cité de Machi se meurt. La tradition veut que ses fils s'entre-tuent afin que le vainqueur du fratricide lui succède ; or Biitrah, l'aîné, vient d'être assassiné. Deux de ses frères ont disparu. Seule la jeune soeur vit au palais. Tout semble accuser Otah, le fils qui avait quitté la cité de son enfance et qui vient tout juste de revenir. Il y retrouve malgré lui son ancien rival et ami, le poète raté Maati, secrètement chargé d'enquêter sur les circonstances du meurtre de Biitrah et sur le complot visant à destituer la famille en place. Qui manipule la famille Machi? Qui a scellé une alliance avec les ennemis du Pays de Galt ? Otah et Maati pourront-ils empêcher la chute de la cité dix ans après celle de Saraykhet ?

La cité de Saraykeht rayonne sur le monde grâce à son immense port. Son gouverneur tout-puissant, le Khai, dirige les poètes, disciples d'un ordre quasi religieux formés à un art magique : donner forme à des andats, créatures semblables aux humains dotées de pouvoirs précieux. Heshai, vieil homme tourmenté et alcoolique, est le poète de Saraykeht. Il vit avec Stérile, son andat insolent et cruel, mais indispensable à la bonne marche du commerce : il maîtrise la culture du coton et assure la prospérité de la ville. À l'Ouest, l'ennemi, le pays de Galt, veut renverser Saraykeht et s'emparer de ses richesses. Pour cela, un seul moyen : détruire le poète et son andat. Au cœur d'une des grandes Maisons de commerce, un complot est organisé. Heshai, tourmenté par des souvenirs sombres saura-t-il protéger son andat ? Et acceptera-t-il l'aide de son apprenti, venu lui aussi de l'ordre prestigieux de ces poètes magiciens ?
