Dragon Keeper: The Rain Wild Chronicles, cartea 1
Autor Robin Hobben Limba Engleză Paperback – 24 sep 2012
A trecut prea mult timp de când puternicul dragon Tintaglia a sprijinit oamenii din orașele Trader să facă față invaziilor inamice. Dar se pare că oamenii și-au uitat promisiunile făcute cu mult timp în urmă de a-i îngriji pe dragonii slabi, răniți și care în lipsa atenției riscă moartea. Decizia de a-i muta în alt ținut mitic numit Kelsingra le va face pe Thymara și Alise să se îmbarce în această expediție care va sfida imaginația fără să fie sigure că se vor mai întoarce înapoi.

Descriere scurtă
New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson
With Dragon Keeper, Robin Hobb, critically acclaimed, New York Times bestselling “master fantasist” (Baltimore Sun), begins a breathtaking new series about the resurgence of dragons in a world that both needs and fears them—the world Hobb’s readers most recently visited in her immensely popular “Tawny Man” trilogy. Volume One of the Rain Wilds Chronicles, Dragon Keeper is yet another magnificent adventure from the author of The Soldier Son and Farseer Trilogies, confirming the Contra Costa Times of California’s assessment of Hobb as “one of the most important writers in 21st century fantasy.”
Textul de pe ultima copertă
Too much time has passed since the powerful dragon Tintaglia helped the people of the Trader cities stave off an invasion of their enemies. The Traders have forgotten their promises, weary of the labor and expense of tending earthbound dragons who were hatched weak and deformed. If neglected, the creatures will rampage—or die—so itis decreed that they must move farther upriver toward Kelsingra, the mythical homeland whose location is locked deep within the dragons’ uncertain ancestral memories.
Thymara, an unschooled forest girl, and Alise, wife of an unloving and wealthy Trader, are among the disparate group entrusted with escorting the dragons to their new home. And on an extraordinary odyssey with no promise of return, many lessons will be learned—as dragons and tenders alike experience hardships, betrayals...and joys beyond their wildest imaginings.
