Margaret Weis Libri

(Il Destino dei Gemelli, La Guerra dei Gemelli, La Sfida dei Gemelli) Ecco in un unico volume la saga che ha per protagonisti personaggi cari e noti agli appassionati del genere: il potente e arcigno mago Raistlin, inquietante incarnazione delle forze malvagie e il suo fratello gemello, Caramon, valoroso e indomito guerriero che rappresenta le forze del bene. La lotta tra il bene e il male si snoda in un susseguirsi vorticoso di imprese, avventure, scontri, duelli, su piani temporali e spaziali diversi e l'epilogo dell'eterno conflitto si configura sempre come una vittoria effimera, una momentanea tregua prima dell'incalzare di nuovi eventi.

Ben prima che la leggendaria saga di DragonLance mettesse in gioco il destino della Terra e dei nostri eroi, l’iniziazione al male del futuro arcimago Raistlin si compie fra le nebbie tenebrose e avvolgenti di Ansalon. Di quest’ultimo ripercorriamo il passato di apprendista stregone nella scuola del distratto negromante Theobald, mentre assistiamo al lento delinearsi dei suoi tratti caratteristici.

L'arrivo della primavera fa rinascere la speranza, gli eroi, armati della leggendaria Dragonlance, combattono per sconfiggere i draghi malvagi, ma anche le proprie debolezze, che potrebbero rivelarsi la causa della rovina del mondo. Il dubbio condurrà Tanis sull'orlo del baratro e Raistlin dovrà scegliere tra le tenebre e la luce, mentre Laurana dovrà ingegnarsi per evitare l'insidiosa trappola che le è stata sapientemente tesa. Sarà però il misterioso Uomo della Gemma Verde a reggere le sorti della disperata battaglia contro la Regina delle Tenebre.

Questo volume presenta il sesto volume della saga di Death Gate, attribuendogli erroneamente il titolo del settimo. L'errore sarà corretto a partire dalla ristampa del 2000, con ISBN: 8804479337. "Chi sorpasserà quella soglia potrà acquisire poteri inimmaginabili, creare e distruggere interi mondi. La Settima Porta è il sogno più azzardato che umano possa concepire e per Haplo, che ne conosce l'ubicazione, significa il Potere Assoluto. Ma i suoi nemici premono, conoscono l'arte dell'accerchiamento. C'è solo un luogo dove possono minacciarlo. Un luogo di morte. Un labirinto da cui nessuno è uscito prima".

Abarrach, il regno della pietra, è una landa perduta pullulante di caverne sotterranee scavate nella pietra vulcanica, dove le razze inferiori - gli umani, gli elfi e i nani - sono ormai estinte da tempo. Sopravvivono solo le ultime vestigia di Sartan, un tempo fiorente, che minaccia anch'essa di scomparire del tutto. Questo scenario desolato, tuttavia, potrebbe presentare delle sorprese imprevedibili per Haplo e Alfred, nemici da sempre e compagni di strada per necessità, soprattutto riguardo all'antica storia di Sartan e al futuro dei suoi discendenti...

Dopo inenarrabili vicissitudini, Alfred ha finalmente ritrovato la sua gente a Chelestra, il mondo d’acqua. Ma anni e anni di viaggi insidiosi gli hanno insegnato a essere prudente, a non fidarsi più di nessuno… infatti, Alfred capisce presto che la sua diffidenza è giustificata anche nei confronti della sua gente. L’unica persona di cui Alfred può fidarsi è, stranamente, Haplo, l’emissario del signore dei Patryn, il Lord del Nexus. Ma il signore dei Patryn ha decretato suoi nemici tutti gli abitanti di Sartan per cui Haplo non osa agire contro il suo signore. I compagni sono giunti in una terra dove gli umani, gli elfi e i nani hanno imparato a convivere in pace. Ma Sartan e Patryn infrangeranno questa alleanza spinti dal loro eterno antagonismo e dalla loro sete di potere: entrambi vogliono dominare i quattro mondi. Soltanto Alfred e Haplo capiscono di avere un nemico più antico e più minaccioso di loro stessi…

In epoche remote la Terra è stata divisa nei quattro regni fondamentali, ognuno dei quali ha una vita autonoma: Arianus, il mondo d'aria, Pryan, il mondo di pietra, Abarrach, il mondo di fuoco e Chelestra, il mondo d'acqua. Per il controllo di questi regni si battono due razze dotate di superiori poteri magici: i Sartan, dediti al bene, e i Patryn, ambiziosi e assetati di potere. Una corsa disperata nel tentativo di salvare l'universo, una lotta senza quartiere fra persone che non sanno più scegliere fra la lealtà al loro signore, agli amici o ai loro ideali. Il caos impazza ovunque, bene e male non hanno più confini…

Il secondo e ultimo episodio delle "Cronache di Raistlin", seguito di "Raistlin-L'alba del male". La storia dell'innocenza perduta tra gli orrori della guerra.Nel corso dell'assedio feroce della cittadina di Hope's End, il giovane mago Raistlin è costretto a rinnegare i suoi ideali per salvare se stesso e il fratello. Eppure mentre Raistlin e Caramon si addestrano come mercenari, lontano un'altra anima viene forgiata nell'ardore della battaglia. Una futura signora suprema dei draghi sceglie la propria strada e inizia l'ascesa al potere: si tratta di Kitiara Uth Matar, sorellastra dei Gemelli.Gli antefatti dell'ormai mitico ciclo delle "Cronache di DragonLance". Un volume dedicato a tutti coloro che ne hanno amato le atmosfere e i personaggi.

Molti anni or sono gli Eroi delle Lance lottarono per ripristinare il fragile equilibrio fra il bene e il male. La guerra fu vinta e il tempo ha continuato a scorrere inesorabile. La Regina delle Tenebre, tuttavia, sebbene sconfitta, non fu annientata e la gente presto dimentica le lezioni del passato. Così il fiume dell'esistenza è tornato ad ingrossarsi e a farsi minaccioso. Il tempo dei Compagni delle Lance è però ormai trascorso e, dinanzi al pericolo incombente, non rimane loro che cedere le armi ai nuovi Eroi, quelli della Seconda Generazione. O a coloro che ne causeranno la rovina...

Paura e terrore discendono sul continente di Ansalon nel momento in cui un gruppo di vecchi amici si riunisce alla Taverna dell'Ultima Dimora. Fra i compagni si trovano un giovane cacciatore innamorato della sua principessa, due fratelli (un aspirante guerriero e un apprendista mago), un prode cavaliere, un vecchio nano e un kender dalle fattezze di un bambino; per quanto così diversi fra loro, si sono riuniti nella speranza di salvare quanto hanno di più prezioso. Ma la loro amata terra natale è avvolta dall'oscurità e rischiano più di quanto possano immaginare nel tentativo disperato di fermare la Regina delle Tenebre che vuole dominare il mondo...

Il supremo Signore dei Draghi, Lord Ariakas, è alla ricerca di alcuni tra gli oggetti magici più potenti delle ere antiche, i Globi dei Draghi: l’onere di individuarli viene affidato alla giovane Kitiara, la sorellastra di Raistlin e Caramon, che dovrà viaggiare fino alle gelide terre del sud per impossessarsi del Globo celato nel Castello della Muraglia di Ghiaccio. Ma Kitiara scoprirà che esiste al mondo un gelo più intenso dei ghiacci eterni, ed è situato tra le spettrali mura di Dargaard Keep, dimora di Lord Soth, il Cavaliere della Morte… Nel frattempo Laurana, Sturm, Flint e Tas, che sono rimasti divisi dal resto dei compagni nella battaglia di Tarsis, si recano a Sud alla ricerca anch’essi di uno dei leggendari Globi dei Draghi…

Pietra, cielo, fuoco e acqua. Quattro regni diversi per separare i popoli, per cancellare la storia. E i Patryn, che di quel mondo un tempo erano i dominatori, sono reclusi da eoni nel mortale Labirinto. Ma ora il Lord del Nexus, il signore dei Patryn, ha trovato il modo di inviare un suo emissario oltre Death Gate, la Porta della Morte, fino ai quattro regni. La sua missione: esplorare, scoprire la storia perduta, ritrovare gli antichi oppressori… e aiutare il suo padrone a conquistare il dominio assoluto. Haplo viaggia nel torrido Pryan, un mondo dove la luce solare ininterrotta e le pioggie copiose hanno dato vita a una giungla possente e intricata, nella quale gli elfi e gli umani vivono sulle cime degli alberi e i nani abitano vicino al suolo. Haplo ha l'incarico di fomentare il caos tra gli abitanti di Pryan, per indebolirli in vista dell'avvento dei Patryn. Ma le continue guerre, alimentate dal commercio d'armi degli elfi, hanno già raggiunto questo obiettivo. Dopo generazioni di conflitti e odi razziali, nemmeno la minaccia di distruzione per mano dei leggendari titani riesce a creare l'unità. L'apocalisse è annunciata.

Sono ormai passati diversi millenni da quando i potenti esseri primordiali plasmarono i misteriosi quattro segni del mondo: acqua, fuoco, cielo e pietra, e gli uomini che vivono in ognuno di essi si sono ridotti a conoscere solo il proprio, ignorando tutti gli altri. Ad Arianus, il regno dell'aria, gli uomini sono costretti a combattere per difendere le proprie riserve d'acqua dagli elfi e dagli gnomi. Nel corso di questa guerra si muovono strani personaggi, come lo spietato assassino Hugh Manolesta, un astuto mercenario pronto a servire qualsiasi padrone e ad eseguiure qualsiasi incarico. Questa volta però la vittima designata è il figlio di un re e Hugh, per eseguire la sua micidiale missione, sarà costretto a varcare tutti i confini conosciuti dal suo popolo e a penetrare in nuovi misteriosi universi…

Il mago Raistlin, assetato di potere, tesse il fatale incantesimo e finalmente il Portale si schiude al suo cospetto... Altrove, il fratello gemello Caramon aziona il magico congegno che gli permette di viaggiare nel tempo e, seguito dal kender Tasslehoff, si ritrova proiettato in un'epoca e in un luogo sconosciuti dove lo attende una spaventosa realtà. Intanto Raistlin si inoltra nell'Abisso dove lancerà l'estrema sfida a Takhisis, la Regina delle Tenebre.

L'imponente montagna si è abbattuta su Krynn e gli dei hanno distrutto il Tempio di Istar. È trascorso un secolo ormai e il continente di Ansalon è una landa desolata i cui poveri abitanti lottano tenacemente per la sopravvivenza, avversati dalla peste, dalla carestia e da una guerra spietata. Fuggito dalla predestinata città di Istar, Raistlin, il mago dai poteri straordinari, attua un incantesimo per esiliare il fratello gemello Caramon e la stupenda chierica Crysania in un'epoca del futuro. E intanto, nella Torre della Stregoneria, si accinge a predisporre un piano per abbattere il Portale e sfidare a morte la Regina Nera. Ma, uno alla volta, i piani di Raistlin vengono scoperti.

La Guerra delle Lance è ormai da tempo conclusa. Inesorabili, le stagioni si susseguono l'una a l'altra. Ora è estate: un'estate arida e asciutta coma mai si era vista prima a Krynn. Sconvolto da un'atroce perdita, il giovane mago Palin Majere tenta di penetrare l'abisso alla ricerca del perduto zio, il celebre arcimago Raistlin. La Regina delle Tenebre ha dalla sua parte nuovi campioni, mentre un Cavaliere Guerriero, Steel Brightblade, cavalca all'attacco della Torre del Sommo Chierico. Su una piccola isola, i misteriosi Irda si impadroniscono di un antico talismano. Usha, una fanciulla umana allevata dagli Irda, giunge a Palanthas affermando di essere la figlia di Raistlin…

Life-long friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales with strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chanced encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman who bears a magical crystal staff draws the companions deeper into the shadow forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world. No one expected them to be heroes. Least of all themselves.

Joram ritorna nel regno di Merilon, da cui era stato bandito, esercitando il magico potere della Spada Nera e rivendicando i suoi diritti di nascita. Accompagnato dal catalista Sayron, dal giovane Mosiah e da Simkin, scopre l'esplosivo segreto del suo passato e l'antica profezia che pone il destino del mondo nelle sue mani: le mani che hanno forgiato la Spada Nera

Mille anni fa, l'imperatore folle Lokan controllava la Spada della Notte, imponendo i suoi desideri distorti a tutte le creature viventi. Poi Lokan scomparve misteriosamente dietro il Muro del Maelstrom, nel caos quantistico del nucleo galattico. Ma la leggenda narra che da qualche parte dietro il Muro, la Spada della Notte è nascosta, le sue immense energie pronte a essere utilizzate di nuovo... per il bene o per il male. Quando l'astronauta terrestre Jeremy Griffiths indossa il Mantello di Kendis-Dai e viene benedetto - e forse maledetto - con una conoscenza infinita, apprende la direzione esatta del tragico percorso di Lokan. I segreti custoditi nella sua mente lo rendono l'obiettivo di chiunque abbia mai desiderato la Spada della Notte per i propri scopi. Griffiths desidera solo riportare la sua squadra sana e salva sulla Terra e impressionare la fascinosa e disorientante Merinda Neskat. Tuttavia, si trova intrappolato nel mezzo di agende galattiche al di fuori del suo controllo, e questa nuova missione si rivelerà essere la sfida di una vita.

L'antica profezia della Spada Nera si avvera: Joram adesso ha nelle sue mani il potere di salvare il mondo o di... distruggerlo. Contiene La Spada Nera, L'antica profezia e Il trionfo della Spada Nera

Sono passati vent'anni dal giorno in cui gli abitanti di Thimhallan furono costretti a fuggire dal loro regno magico per essere accolti, sulla Terra. Una notte, Saryon, riceve una visita inaspettata: un Duuktsarith, uno dei temibili Inquisitori della Chiesa di Thimhallan si reca a casa sua. L'inviato è Mosiah, uno dei più vecchi amici di Saryon, e lo informa che dovrà convincere Joram, l'uomo più odiato dagli abitanti di Thimhallan, a dar loro la Spada Oscura, arma in grado di annullare il potere della magia che Joram usò per distruggere il nucleo magico di Thimhallan, la Ruota della Vita, condannando il pianeta alla distruzione. Mosiah gli spiega che se l'arma non cadrà in mani loro molto probabilmente verrebbe rubata dai Tecnomanti, una setta di occultisti molto potente che ora, occupano le più alte cariche dello stato e della finanza. L'Inquisitore dice che lui parla per bocca di re Garald, il vecchio sovrano di Thimhallan, anch'egli profugo sulla Terra, e aggiunge che se non riusciranno a ottenere la Spada Oscura la Terra sarà condannata.
