The Gathering Of The Lost: Wall of Night
Autor Helen Loween Limba Engleză Paperback – 20 feb 2013
Five years after the assault on her stronghold home, Malian of Night remains missing, believed dead amidst the wilds of Jaransor. But not all accept her death and now both Darkswarm and Derai agents are on the hunt. Suspicion falls on Tarathan of Ar and Jehane Mor, who find themselves caught in a web of intrigue and murder amidst the Ijiri Festival of Masks. They flee bearing word of a death on the Wall - and a call to duty and honour that Malian and her comrade-in-arms, Kalan, must answer or be forsworn.
Yet after five years of searching, the arms of the Derai's greatest hero remain lost to Malian and a return to the Wall of Night promises only defeat and death.
Praise for The Heir of Night:
'A richly told tale of strange magic, dark treachery, and conflicting loyalties, set in a well-realised world'
Robin Hobb
'Gallops along a rate of knots that almost leaves you gasping for breath'

'Refreshing... a well-told tale'

Textul de pe ultima copertă
Garrisoned by the Nine Houses of the Derai, the towering mountain range called the Wall of Night is all that separates the people of Haarth from the terrible Darkswarm.
Five years have passed since the Wall was breached and the Keep of Winds nearly overrun. Five years since the Heir of Night, Malian, and her friend and ally Kalan went missing in the wild lands of Jaransor.
Now, in Haarth's diverse southern realms, events are moving. From the wealthy River city of Ij to the isolated Emerian outpost of Normarch, rumors of dark forces and darker magics are growing. As the great Midsummer tournament at Caer Argent approaches, Haarth will have one opportunity to band together against an enemy in which few believe . . . or be lost forever.
