en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2022

Subliniem încă de la primele pagini atmosfera de amenințare iminentă care definește Allward, un tărâm unde orizontul nu mai promite siguranță, ci o întunecime palpabilă. În Realm Breaker, Victoria Aveyard abandonează ierarhiile stricte bazate pe culoarea sângelui din seria Red Queen pentru a construi o cosmologie mult mai vastă, centrată pe ideea de „fântâni” magice și fisuri în realitate. Reținem finețea cu care autoarea introduce magia în sângele protagonistei Corayne an-Amarat; nu este un dar facil, ci o moștenire grea care o forțează să părăsească liniștea orașului de la malul mării pentru a aduna o echipă de proscriși. Cei care au parcurs Red Queen de Victoria Aveyard vor fi pregătiți pentru temele trădării și ale jocurilor de putere, însă vor descoperi aici o lume mult mai densă, populată de armate de cadavre și creaturi ce par desprinse din bestiarele lui Tolkien. Ne-a atras atenția în mod deosebit figura reginei Erida, a cărei ambiție de a-și proteja tronul cu orice preț adaugă un strat de complexitate politică unei misiuni de salvare a lumii care altfel ar fi părut liniară. Ritmul este susținut de alternarea perspectivelor, oferind cititorului o viziune panoramică asupra unui regat aflat în pragul colapsului. Față de lucrările anterioare ale autoarei, acest roman polițist de tip fantasy se simte mai matur, explorând ideea că eroii nu sunt întotdeauna cei aleși de soartă, ci cei care rămân în picioare când restul lumii a eșuat.

Descriere

FROM THE BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF RED QUEEN COMES A BRAND NEW SERIESSAVE THE WORLD OR END IT...

A strange darkness is growing in the Ward. Even Corayne an-Amarat can feel it, tucked away in her small town at the edge of the sea.

Fate knocks on her door, in the form of a mythical immortal and a lethal assassin, who tell Corayne that she is the last of an ancient lineage - with the power to save the world from destruction. Because a man who would burn kingdoms to the ground is raising an army unlike any seen before, bent on uprooting the foundations of the world. With poison in his heart and a stolen sword in his hand, he'll break the realm itself to claim it.

And only Corayne can stop him. Alongside an unlikely group of reluctant allies, Corayne finds herself on a desperate journey to complete an impossible task, with untold magic singing in her blood and the fate of the world on her shoulders.

A true fantasy masterpiece."  — Sabaa Tahir, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the An Ember in the Ashes series.
