Orbit Empire of Sand Suri Tasha

Some believe the Ambhan Empire is cursed. But Arwa doesn't simply believe it - she knows it's true • Widowed by the infamous, unnatural massacre at Darez Fort, Arwa was saved only by the strangeness of her blood - a strangeness she had been taught all her life to suppress. She offers up her blood and service to the imperial family and makes common cause with a disgraced, illegitimate prince who has turned to forbidden occult arts to find a cure to the darkness hanging over the Empire • Using the power in Arwa's blood, they seek answers in the realm of ash: a land where mortals can seek the ghostly echoes of their ancestors' dreams. But the Emperor's health is failing, and a terrible war of succession hovers on the horizon, not just for the imperial throne, but for the magic underpinning Empire itself

This epic fantasy tells the tales of clashing Guilds, magic-fueled machines, intrigue and revolution-and the one family that stands between an empire's salvation or destruction • From an unmissable voice in epic fantasy comes a sweeping tale of clashing guilds, magic-fueled machines, and revolution • The nation of Torwyn is run on the power of industry, and industry is run by the Guilds. Chief among them are the Hawkspurs, whose responsibility it is to keep the gears of the empire turning. That's exactly why matriarch Rosomon Hawkspur sends each of her heirs to the far reaches of the nation • Conall, the eldest son, is sent to the distant frontier to earn his stripes in the military. It is here that he faces a threat he could have never seen coming: the first rumblings of revolution

On the isle of Ithaca, Queen Penelope maintains a delicate balance of power. Many years ago, her husband, Odysseus, sailed to war with Troy and never came home. In his absence, Penelope uses all her cunning to keep the peace - but this is shattered by the arrival of Orestes, king of Mycenae, and his sister Elektra • Orestes's hands are stained with his mother's blood. Not so long ago, the son of Agamemnon took Queen Clytemnestra's life on Ithaca's sands. Now, racked with guilt, he is slowly losing his mind • Penelope knows destruction will follow in his wake as surely as the Furies circle him. His uncle, Menelaus, the battle-hungry king of Sparta, longs for Orestes's throne - and if he can seize it, no one will be safe from his violent whims • Trapped between two mad kings, Penelope fights to keep war from Ithaca's shores

'The Age of Kings is dead. And I have killed it.' • Field Marshal Tamas's coup against his king sends corrupt aristocrats to the guillotine and brings bread to the starving. But it also provokes war in the Nine Nations, internal attacks by royalist fanatics and greedy scrambling for money and power by Tamas's supposed allies: the Church, workers' unions and mercenary forces • Stretched to his limit, Tamas relies heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be Tamas's estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty will be tested to its limit • Now, amid the chaos, a whispered rumour is spreading. A rumour about omens of death and destruction. Just old peasant legends about the gods returning to walk the earth

Места, которое он знал, больше не существует • Вокруг бушует война, и три короля претендуют на одну и ту же корону, и один из них — старый друг Гиртона — Руфра. Гиртон спешит раскрыть заговор с целью убийства Руфры в день, который должен был бы стать днем величайшей победы короля • Но пока Гиртон разбирается с угрозами внутри и за пределами военного лагеря Руфры, он не может не задаваться вопросом, не скрывается ли его злейший враг под его собственной кожей… • "Blood of Assassins" — это 2-я книга из цикла The Wounded Kingdom (за ней следует заключительная "King of Assassins"), стильное фэнтези и идеальная книга в подарок для тех, кто ценит красоту эпических битв и захватывающих приключений древней гильдии мастеров убийств

Чтобы поймать убийцу, используйте другого наемного убийцу • Гиртону Косолапому, ученику лучшего в стране наемного убийцы, еще многое предстоит узнать об искусстве отнимать жизни. Однако его последняя миссия ставит перед Гиртоном и его учителем гораздо более сложную задачу: спасти жизнь. Кто-то пытается убить наследника престола, и именно Гиртон и его учитель должны найти предателя и предотвратить убийство принца • В Королевстве на грани гражданской войны и в замке, полном лжи, Гиртон находит друзей, которых никогда не искал; обязанности, которых никогда не хотел, и заговор, который может уничтожить целую страну • "Age of Assassins" — это 1-я книга из цикла The Wounded Kingdom (за ней следует "Blood of Assassins"), стильное фэнтези и идеальная книга в подарок для тех, кто ценит красоту эпических битв и захватывающих приключений древней гильдии мастеров убийств

Король умер. Да здравствует король! • Прошли долгие годы мира, время относительного спокойствия для убийцы Гиртона Косолапого. Даже Чума Забвения, опустошившая остальные королевства, казалось, обошла их стороной • Но теперь Руфра взирает на пустующий трон Верховного короля и отправляет свой двор в столицу, крысиное гнездо интриг и убийств, где соберутся все враги, которых он когда-либо нажил. Будет разыгран финал двадцатилетней политики и убийств в его стремлении стать королем. Царь всех царей • Друзья становятся врагами, враги становятся друзьями, а бог смерти, Невидимый, стоит ближе, чем когда-либо, отбрасывая свою тень на все самое дорогое для Гиртона • "King of Assassins" — это финальная 3-я книга из цикла The Wounded Kingdom, стильное фэнтези и идеальная книга в подарок для тех, кто ценит красоту эпических битв и захватывающих приключений древней гильдии мастеров убийств

David Reynolds's unique take on American history • It was Thomas Jefferson who envisioned the United States as a great 'empire of liberty.' In the first new one-volume history in two decades, David Reynolds takes Jefferson's phrase as a key to the saga of America - helping unlock both its grandeur and its paradoxes. He examines how the anti-empire of 1776 became the greatest superpower the world has seen, how the country that offered liberty and opportunity on a scale unmatched in Europe nevertheless founded its prosperity on the labour of black slaves and the dispossession of the Native Americans. He explains how these tensions between empire and liberty have often been resolved by faith - both the evangelical Protestantism that has energized U

Astonishingly wide-ranging and richly detailed, Empire of Things explores how we have come to live with so much more, how this changed the course of history, and the global challenges we face as a result
