Krátky popis
Drew Karpyshyn has made his mark with imaginative, action-packed
work on several acclaimed videogames, including Mass Effect and
Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, as well as in a succession
of New York Times bestselling tie-in novels. Now Karpyshyn
introduces a brilliantly innovative epic fantasy of perilous
quests, tormented heroes, and darkest sorcery—a thrilling adventure
that vaults him into the company of such authors as Terry Goodkind,
Brandon Sanderson, and Peter V. Brett.&,nbsp,Long ago the gods
chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to
stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their
champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring,
and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted
Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride,
he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos
spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the
end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was
sealed off behind the Legacy—a magical barrier the gods sacrificed
themselves to create.&,nbsp,Now the Legacy is fading. On the
other side, the banished Daemron stirs. And across the scattered
corners of the land, four children are born of suffering and
strife, each touched by one aspect of Daemron himself—wizard,
warrior, prophet, king.&,nbsp,Bound by a connection deeper than
blood, the Children of Fire will either restore the Legacy or bring
it crashing down, freeing Daemron to wreak his vengeance upon the
mortal world. Praise for Children of Fire&,nbsp,“This
intricately layered adventure breathes realism and overshadowing
menace into ancient mythic archetypes, exposing the pain and wonder
inherent in magic and the mingled hope and cynicism of modern
fantasy.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)&,nbsp,“A rousing
quest fantasy . . . a fast-paced action-packed good and evil
thriller.”—SF Revu “From the first page of Children of Fire,
Karpyshyn captures the reader’s attention with his excellent,
intricate storyline.”—RT Book Reviews&,nbsp,“Children of Fire
stands on its own as a thoroughly entertaining tale. The book
strikes a perfect balance between character driven storytelling and
rich world building.”—Roqoo Depot&,nbsp,“[Karpyshyn] is truly a
master of world building. . . . I would recommend this title to any
fan of the genre.”—Among the Wreckage&,nbsp,“Compulsively
readable, wildly entertaining.”—A Girl, A Boy and A
Blog&,nbsp,“Children of Fire is engrossing, and full of
characters that are modern. . . . I thoroughly enjoyed Children of
Fire and look forward for the next two books.”—FANgirl Blog “Drew
Karpyshyn weaves a rich, contrasting tapestry of epic story and
doom. Gripping and compelling from first page to last, Children of
Fire is a dark-chocolate fantasy, delightfully biting and
delectable at once. Four ill-fated children born under a sign of
chaos and flame carried me on a journey into an intriguing world of
shadowy wonder. It is a spellbinding epic told with masterful
craft. Well done, Drew!”—Tracy Hickman, New York Times bestselling
co-author of the Dragonlance and Death Gate series
