Jutros me je poštar vrlo prijatno iznenadio - u sandučetu me je čekao prvi deo Blades of the Moonsea trilogije, Swordmage (autor je Richard Baker). Evo blurb-a sa poleđine knjige:Aesperus, the King in Copper.
He was a fearsome necromancer who ruled over this part of the Moonsea hundreds of years ago, and survives as an undead lich who commands the dead of the barrowfields as his slaves.
Too many things that should lie dead and buried under stone rise and walk the Highfells once their tombs are breached.
No one is to open a tomb anywhere within land claimed by Hulburg, and it is considered high treason to collect anything of value buried in a barrow.
It's one of the few laws the Harmachs enforce without mercy.
But someone is robbing them anyway.
Posle svih "ozbiljnih" naslova koje sam čitao u poslednje vreme, uželeo sam se klasičnog D&D, pulp-trash fantasy-ja (uprkos mom love-hate odnosu prema ovakvim knjigama). Ovo je prvi serijal koji se odvija u "novom" Forgotten Realms svetu, nakon katstrofalnih događaja koji su ga izmenili. Ova činjenica, sam zaplet kao i solidne ocene čitalaca su me naveli da kupim knjigu. Šta očekujem? Jednostavnu, laganu zabavu. U svakom slučaju, čim završim sa čitanjem (što će biti uskoro), sledi prikaz.
Evo i besplatnog odlomka za sve zainteresovane (sample chapter).
