José Ferrer Aleu Livres

The Seven Gods of Order had ruled unchallenged for an aeon, served by the Adepts of the Circle in their bleak Northern stronghold. But for Tarod – the most enigmatic and formidable sorcerer in the Circle's ranks – a darker affinity had begun to call. Threatening his beliefs, even his sanity, it rose unbidden from beyond Time; an ancient and deadly adversary that could plunge the world into madness and chaos – and whose power rivalled that even of the Gods themselves. And though Tarod's mind and heart were pledged to Order, his soul was another matter...

Tarod alone knew the nature of the supernatural force locked within his soul-and he knew that it must be thwarted, no matter what the sacrifice. Denounced by his fellow adepts as a demon, betrayed even by those he loved, he had unleashed a power that twisted the fabric of time, to put himself beyond the reach of that monstrous force and avert the pandemonium that threatened the world. He thought that nothing could break through the barrier he had created. He was wrong.

Ce livre n'est pas un roman, quoique l'intention en soit romanesque. Il n'appartient pas à la science-fiction, quoiqu'on y côtoie des mythes qui alimentent ce genre. Il n'est pas une collection de faits bizarres, quoique l'Ange du Bizarre s'y trouve à l'aise. Il n'est pas non plus une contribution scientifique, le véhicule d'un enseignement inconnu, un témoignage, un documentaire, ou une affabulation. Il est le récit, parfois légende et parfois exact, d'un premier voyage dans des domaines de la connaissance à peine explorés.
