    • Een Gift Van Wapens

      Morgan Rice

      Fantasie In EEN GIFT VAN WAPENS (Boek #8 in de Tovenaarsring), zit Thor gevangen tussen de titanische krachten van goed en kwaad, terwijl Andronicus en Rafi al hun duistere krachten gebruiken in een poging om Thors identiteit te vernietigen en de controle over zijn ziel te krijgen. Bevangen door hun magie moet Thor het zwaarste gevecht van zijn leven strijden, terwijl hij worstelt om zichzelf uit de greep van zijn vader te bevrijden. Maar het is misschien al te laat. Gwendolyn, vergezeld door Alistair, Steffen en Aberthol, reist diep de Onderwereld in, vastberaden om Argon te vinden en hem uit zijn magische gevangenis te bevrijden. Ze ziet hem als haar enige hoop om Thor te bevrijden en de Ring te redden, maar de Onderwereld is groot en verraderlijk, en het lijkt erop dat ze Argon nooit zullen vinden.  Reece leidt de Krijgsmacht op een vrijwel onmogelijke missie om te doen wat nog nooit eerder is gedaan: afdalen in de dieptes van het Ravijn om het verloren Zwaard terug te vinden.

    • The Way of Kings

      Brandon Sanderson

      Epische fantasy From #1 New York Times bestselling author Brandon Sanderson, The Way of Kings, Book One of the Stormlight Archive, begins an incredible new saga of epic proportion. Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the ten consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor that transform ordinary men into near-invincible warriors. Men trade kingdoms for Shardblades. Wars were fought for them, and won by them. One such war rages on a ruined landscape called the Shattered Plains.

    • De Falende God

      Mike Jansen

      Epische fantasy De drie huurlingen, Grim, Grijs en Thoreld zijn op de vlucht voor een eeuwenoud kwaad en in hun kielzog sneuvelen profetieën en escaleren lang sluimerende conflicten. Met een huiveringwekkend gekraak richtte het dode lichaam van de oude koning Torazan zich op en sprak tegen de drie huurlingen: ‘Hoed u voor het Afwezige Licht!’ Een kille wind stak op en de koning begon langzaam te verkruimelen tot er alleen nog een hoopje as, botten en wat stukjes eeuwenoude kleding op de troon lagen. Het werd onnatuurlijk stil en bij het flakkerende lamplicht wachtten de drie mannen tot er nog iets gebeurde. Dat duurde enkele minuten tot Grim ongeduldig werd. ‘Nou, dat lijkt me duidelijk,’ zei hij. ‘Nu zitten wij hier in dit hol in plaats van hij.’ ‘De falende god’ is het eerste deel in een breed opgezette fantasycyclus in de traditie van Steven Erikson en George R.R.
