El primer volumen de «Crónicas del mago negro», una deslumbrante trilogía de género fantástico. Magia, acción y aventura en la ópera prima de una autora que ha triunfado en el mundo entero.

Cada año los magos de Imardin se reúnen para realizar, junto con la guardia real, una gran purga en las calles de la ciudad: la vacían de vagabundos, pícaros y maleantes. Son maestros en las diversas disciplinas de la magia y saben que nadie puede oponérseles. Pero su escudo protector no es tan impenetrable como creen
Porque Sonea, una joven de origen humilde, está furiosa tras ver que su familia y sus amigos van a ser expulsados de la ciudad. Toda la rabia acumulada por años de injusticia va concentrada en una piedra que Sonea lanza contra las fuerzas del orden. Para sorpresa de todos, la piedra atraviesa la barrera invisible y derriba a uno de los magos.
El peor de los temores del Gremio se ha hecho realidad: hay un mago sin educar en las calles. ¡Un mago fuera de la nobleza! Deben encontrar a Sonea cuanto antes, porque se trata de una persona con un poder tan enorme que, descontrolado, representa una amenaza tanto para quien lo posee como para el resto de la ciudad.

Fantasía en inglés a buen precio: los cuatro primeros Shadows of the Apt, de Adrian Tchaikovsky.


Empire in Black and Gold (Amazon ES - 2,52€; Kobo - 2,49€; Google Play - 2,37€)

The city states of the Lowlands have lived in peace and prosperity for decades: bastions of civilization and sophistication. That peace is about to end.

In far-off corners, an ancient Empire has been conquering city after city with its highly trained armies and sophisticated warmaking . . . And now it's set its sights on a new prize.

Only the ageing Stenwold Maker, spymaster, artificer and statesman, can see the threat. It falls upon his shoulders to open the eyes of his people - as soon a tide will sweep down over the Lowlands and burn away everything in its path.

But first he must stop himself from becoming the Empire's latest victim.

Dragonfly Falling (Amazon ES - 2,52€; Kobo - 2,49€; Google Play - 2,37€)

The armies of the Wasp Empire are on the march, and first to feel their might will be the city of Tark, which is even now preparing for siege. Within its walls Salma and Totho must weather the storm, as the Ant-kinden take a stand - against numbers and weaponry such as the Lowlands have never seen.

And after his earlier victory, the Empire's secret service has decided veteran artificer Stenwold Maker is too dangerous to live. So disgraced Major Thalric is despatched on a desperate mission, not only to eliminate Stenwold himself, but to bring about the destruction of his beloved city of Collegium, and thus end all hope of intelligent resistance to the remorseless imperial advance.

While the Empire's troops are laying waste to all in their way, the young Emperor himself is treading a different path. His thoughts are on darker things than mere conquest, and if he attains his goal he will precipitate a reign of blood that will last a thousand years.

Blood of the Mantis (Amazon ES - 2,52€; Kobo - 2,49€; Google Play - 2,37€)

Driven by the ghosts of the legendary Darakyon, the seer Achaeos has tracked the stolen Shadow Box to the marsh-town of Jerez - but he has only days before this magical artefact will be lost to him forever . . .

Meanwhile, the forces of the Empire are mustering for their next great offensive. Stenwold and his followers have only a short time in which to seek allies before the enemy soldiers are on the march again, conquering everything in their path. And if they cannot hold them back before spring, then the hated black and gold flag will be flying fly over every city in the Lowlands before the year's end.

And should the Shadow Box fall into the hands of the power-mad Emperor, then nothing will save the world from his relentless ambition.

Salute the Dark (Amazon ES - 2,52€; Kobo - 2,49€; Google Play - 2,37€)

The vampiric sorcerer Uctebri has at last got his hands on the Shadow Box and can finally begin his dark ritual - a ritual that the Wasp-kinden Emperor believes will grant him immortality. But Uctebri has his own plans both for the Emperor and the Empire.

The massed Wasp armies are on the march, and the spymaster Stenwold must see which of his allies will stand now that the war has finally arrived. This time the Empire will not stop until a black and gold flag waves over Stenwold's own home city of Collegium.

Tisamon the Weaponsmaster is faced with a terrible choice: a path that could lead him to abandon his friends and his daughter and to face degradation and loss. Yet it might bring him before the Wasp Emperor with a blade in his hand. But is he being driven by Mantis-kinden honour, or manipulated by something more sinister?

Entre los ebooks con descuento que Amazon está ofreciendo ahora mismo en inglés, están Fall of the Giants, de Ken Follett a 0,99 € o Dark Eden, de Chris Beckett al mismo precio.

The first in Ken Follett's bestselling Century Trilogy, Fall of Giants is a huge novel that follows five families through the world-shaking dramas of the First World War, the Russian Revolution, and the struggle for votes for women.It is 1911. The Coronation Day of King George V. The Williams, a Welsh coal-mining family, is linked by romance and enmity to the Fitzherberts, aristocratic coal-mine owners. Lady Maud Fitzherbert falls in love with Walter von Ulrich, a spy at the German Embassy in London. Their destiny is entangled with that of an ambitious young aide to U.S. President Woodrow Wilson and with two orphaned Russian brothers, whose plans to emigrate to America fall foul of war, conscription and revolution.
In a plot of unfolding drama and intriguing complexity, Fall of Giants moves seamlessly from Washington to St Petersburg, from the dirt and danger of a coal mine to the glittering chandeliers of a palace, from the corridors of power to the bedrooms of the mighty.

Winner of the Arthur C. Clarke Award 2013
A marooned outpost of humanity struggles to survive on a startlingly alien world: science fiction as it ought to be from British science fiction's great white hope.

You live in Eden. You are a member of the Family, one of 532 descendants of Angela and Tommy. You shelter beneath the light and warmth of the Forest's lantern trees, hunting woollybuck and harvesting tree candy. Beyond the forest lie the treeless mountains of the Snowy Dark and a cold so bitter and a night so profound that no man has ever crossed it. The Oldest among you recount legends of a world where light came from the sky, where men and women made boats that could cross between worlds. One day, the Oldest say, they will come back for you.
You live in Eden. You are a member of the Family, one of 532 descendants of two marooned explorers. You huddle, slowly starving, beneath the light and warmth of geothermal trees, confined to one barely habitable valley of a startlingly alien, sunless world. After 163 years and six generations of incestuous inbreeding, the Family is riddled with deformity and feeblemindedness. Your culture is a infantile stew of half-remembered fact and devolved ritual that stifles innovation and punishes independent thought.
You are John Redlantern. You will break the laws of Eden, shatter the Family and change history. You will be the first to abandon hope, the first to abandon the old ways, the first to kill another, the first to venture in to the Dark, and the first to discover the truth about Eden.

The bundle also reflects the long history of the Auroras, with titles spanning over twenty years of Canadian speculative fiction.
