Intraprendi una saga fantasy epica dove eroi di un'era passata affrontano antichi mali che minacciano un impero fratturato. Questa serie offre azione brutale e temi oscuri, seguendo un gruppo eterogeneo di guerrieri mentre combattono divinità dimenticate e l'oscurità incombente. È una narrazione avvincente che spinge i confini del coraggio e della moralità in un mondo crudo e spietato. I fan troveranno un approccio fresco e intransigente al genere fantasy, ricco di personaggi complessi e in gioco elevato.
Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap, is a legend to all who don't know him and a twisted degenerate to those that do. A veteran of the wars against the lizards, he makes a living from telling travellers of his exploits. Until one day he is pulled away from his life and into the depths of the Empire's slave trade.
Ringil Eskiath, scarred wielder of the kiriath-forged broadsword Ravensfriend, is a man on the run - from his past and the family who have disowned him, from the slave trade magnates of Trelayne who want him dead, and apparently from the dark gods themselves, who are taking an interest but making no more sense than they ever have.
Compared to Michael Moorcock and Joe Abercrombie alike, Richard Morgan's fast moving and brutal science fantasy reaches its final volume as Ringil comes to his final reckoning and sees the world tipping into another war with the dragon folk. And, most terrifying of all, the prophecy of a dark lord come to rule may be coming true very close to home... THE DARK DEFILES is a supremely fast moving 240,000 word epic. A massive yet tight story that both shines a light on some mysteries from earlier volumes and reveals deeper mysteries yet. We encounter the artifacts of an ancient race, learn the true story of the ghostly Dwenda and follow three old friends as they face their greatest test yet.
