Un relato épico de terror medieval en su máxima expresiónAño 1348. Thomas, un caballero caído en desgracia, encuentra a una niña sola en un pueblo normando arrasado. Huérfana de la peste negra, Delphine le cuenta a Thomas que la peste es solo parte de un cataclismo mayor: los angeles caidos, con Lucifer al frente, se estan levantando en una segunda guerra contra el cielo y el mundo de los hombres esta atrapado en el conflicto. ¿Es delirio o es fe?La niña cree que ve a los angeles de Dios y que los muertos le hablan en sueños. Asi, convence a Thomas para que la escolte a traves de un paisaje desolado hasta Aviñon, donde Delphine intentara enfrentarse al mal que ha devastado la tierra y devolver a Thomas la esperanza de salvacion.Mientras el infierno desata su ira y se revela la verdadera naturaleza de la muchacha, Thomas transitara por un macabro campo de batalla de angeles y demonios, santos y muertos resucitados, en medio de una lucha desesperada por el alma del ser humano.

The year is 1348. Thomas, a disgraced knight, has found a young girl alone in a dead Norman village. An orphan of the Black Death, and an almost unnerving picture of innocence, she tells Thomas that plague is only part of a larger cataclysm-that the fallen angels under Lucifer are rising in a second war on heaven, and that the world of men has fallen behind the lines of conflict.Is it delirium or is it faith? She believes she has seen the angels of God. She believes the righteous dead speak to her in dreams. And now she has convinced the faithless Thomas to shepherd her across a depraved landscape to Avignon. There, she tells Thomas, she will fulfil her mission: to confront the evil that has devastated the earth, and to restore to this betrayed, murderous knight the nobility and hope of salvation he long abandoned.As hell unleashes its wrath, and as the true nature of the girl is revealed, Thomas will find himself on a macabre battleground of angels and demons, saints, and the risen dead, and in the midst of a desperate struggle for nothing less than the soul of man.

Kinch Na Shannack le debe una pequeña fortuna al Gremio de los Ladrones, que lo educó en las artes del latrocinio donde aprendió a forzar cerraduras, luchar con cuchillos, escalar paredes, caer sin hacerse daño, urdir mentiras, tender trampas y un puñado de conjuros bastante discretos. Su deuda lo ha llevado a esconderse en el bosque acechando y listo para asaltar al primer incauto que se cruce en su camino. Hoy, sin embargo, ha elegido a la victima equivocada. Galva, una caballera superviviente de las encarnizadas guerras contra los goblins y leal seguidora de la diosa de la muerte, esta buscando a su reina, desaparecida desde que una lejana ciudad del norte sucumbiera a los ataques de los gigantes. Una vez frustrado su intento de robo y afortunado por haber escapado con vida, Kinch descubre que su destino esta ligado al de Galva. Sus enemigos en comun y una hueste de amenazas bastante insolitas, empujan al ladron y a la caballera a embarcarse en un periplo de epicas dimensiones. Deberan luchar contra goblins hambrientos de carne humana y krakens al acecho en las siniestras profundidades. En sus aventuras, el honor es un lujo que no esta al alcance de todos.

Uma era sombria — de tentação e corrupção, de guerra no céu e de inferno na terra…O ano é 1348. Thomas, um cavaleiro desonrado, encontra uma menina sozinha em uma aldeia normanda dizimada. Órfã da Pe

The goblins have killed all of our horses and most of our men. They have enslaved our cities, burned our fields, and still they wage war. Now, our daughters take up arms.Galva - Galvicha to her three brothers, two of whom the goblins will kill - has defied her familys wishes and joined the armys untested new unit, the Raven Knights. They march toward a once-beautiful city overrun by the goblin horde, accompanied by scores of giant war corvids. Made with the darkest magics, these fearsome black birds may hold the key to stopping the goblins in their war to make cattle of mankind.The road to victory is bloody, and goblins are clever and merciless. The Raven Knights can take nothing for granted - not the bonds of family, nor the wisdom of their leaders, nor their own safety against the dangerous war birds at their side. But some hopes are worth any risk.A fraught, shattering fantasy adventure, this standalone novel is set during the war-torn, goblin-infested years just before The Blacktongue Thief.

Kinch Na Shannack owes the Takers Guild a small fortune for his education as a thief, which includes (but is not limited to) lock-picking, knife-fighting, wall-scaling, fall-breaking, lie-weaving, trap-making, plus a few small magics. His debt has driven him to lie in wait by the old forest road, planning to rob the next traveler that crosses his path.But today, Kinch Na Shannack has picked the wrong mark.Galva is a knight, a survivor of the brutal goblin wars, and handmaiden of the goddess of death. She is searching for her queen, missing since a distant northern city fell to giants.Unsuccessful in his robbery and lucky to escape with his life, Kinch now finds his fate entangled with Galvas. Common enemies and uncommon dangers force thief and knight on an epic journey where goblins hunger for human flesh, krakens hunt in dark waters, and honor is a luxury few can afford.

Joey Peacock knows this as well as anybodyhe has spent the last forty years as an adolescent vampire, perfecting the routine he now enjoys: womanizing in punk clubs and discotheques, feeding by night, and sleeping by day with others of his kind in the macabre labyrinth under the citys sidewalks.The subways are his playground and his highway, shuttling him throughout Manhattan to bleed the unsuspecting in the Sheep Meadow of Central Park or in the backseats of Checker cabs, or even those in their own apartments who are too hypnotized by sitcoms to notice him opening their windows. Its almost too easy.Until one night he sees them hunting on his beloved subway. The children with the merry eyes. Vampires, like himor not like him. Whatever they are, whatever their appearance means, the undead in the tunnels of Manhattan are not as safe as they once were.And neither are the rest of us.
