A Crown for Cold Silver: Book One of the Crimson Empire

Autor Alex Marshall
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 17 sep 2015
Cold Cobalt, the Banshee with a Blade, First Among Villains . . . Queen Zosia

When there were no more titles to win and no more worlds to conquer, the warrior queen Zosia faked her demise and gave up her legend to history. But when violence finds its way to her door years later, she must round up her adventuring companions - each surprised to see her alive - and set out for revenge.

Time has not been kind to her old comrades, and some have only their own goals in mind. Not only that, but there's a young, beautiful and skilled general out there, gathering soldiers to her banner for a war against the deadliest of enemies. The girl is using a legend she did not earn, and calling herself by a name that was never hers - that of Zosia herself.

Recenzii

A Crown for Cold Silver drags epic fantasy through the mud - but it does so with wit, wonder and wisdom.
This is my favorite kind of fantasy - alternately irreverent and brutal, with a cast of wonderfully scarred and nasty people. Any fans of Steven Erikson, Mark Lawrence, or Joe Abercrombie will love A Crown for Cold Silver; I've just finished it, and I'm already eager for more.
This is a full-on, devil-summoning, pipe-smoking, dagger-wielding brutal quest fantasy...A Crown For Cold Silver's world is a joy to fall into...gripping, and will suit any quest-lover looking for a new addiction.
An epic fantasy that will surprise you. When was the last time you read one of those? Marshall deftly sets up and subverts expectations at every turn. If you think you know what's coming, think again
Brimming with imagination and invention . . . Fabulous!
A sprawling world that grows larger and deeper with every page. Instantly believable. Zosia and her Five Villains are as fun as they are twisted.
This lusty debut will have you gasping in one breath and laughing in the next with its cast of multicultural characters, gender-bending soldiers, same-sex coupled kings and warrior women of all ages who throw themselves into the fray. By the latter half of the novel, you realize Marshall is playing a long, glorious game

[Alex Marshall] weaves a strong tale in this fantasy debut, with elements of humour, zippy dialogue and moments of grisly darkness
'IT WAS ALL GOING SO NICELY, RIGHT UP UNTIL THE MASSACRE.'

Twenty years ago, feared general Cobalt Zosia led her mercenary army and five villainous captains into battle, wrestling monsters and toppling an empire. When there were no more titles to win and no more worlds to conquer, she faked her death and gave up her legend to history.
Now the peace she carved for herself has been shattered by the unprovoked slaughter of her village. Seeking bloody vengeance, Zosia heads for battle once more, but to find justice she must confront grudge-bearing enemies, once-loyal allies and an unknown army that marches under a familiar banner.

Wildly exuberant and epic in every sense, A Crown for Cold Silver is an exquisitely twisted tale of revenge that turns epic fantasy on its head.

'Alternately irreverent and brutal, with a cast of wonderfully scarred and nasty people. Any fans of Steven Erikson, Mark Lawrence, or Joe Abercrombie will love A Crown for Cold Silver'
Django Wexler

'Brimming with imagination and invention . . . Fabulous!'

'Instantly believable. Zosia and her Five Villains are as fun as they are twisted.'
