Embarquez pour une saga de fantasy épique où des héros d'une époque révolue affrontent des maux anciens menaçant un empire fracturé. Cette série offre de l'action brutale et des thèmes sombres, suivant un groupe disparate de guerriers alors qu'ils combattent des dieux oubliés et les ténèbres envahissantes. C'est un récit captivant qui repousse les limites du courage et de la moralité dans un monde sombre et impitoyable. Les fans trouveront une approche fraîche et intransigeante du genre fantasy, pleine de personnages complexes et d'enjeux élevés.
Ringil, the hero of the bloody slaughter at Gallows Gap, is a legend to all who don't know him and a twisted degenerate to those that do. A veteran of the wars against the lizards, he makes a living from telling travellers of his exploits. Until one day he is pulled away from his life and into the depths of the Empire's slave trade.
Ringil Eskiath, scarred wielder of the kiriath-forged broadsword Ravensfriend, is a man on the run - from his past and the family who have disowned him, from the slave trade magnates of Trelayne who want him dead, and apparently from the dark gods themselves, who are taking an interest but making no more sense than they ever have.
Compared to Michael Moorcock and Joe Abercrombie alike, Richard Morgan's fast moving and brutal science fantasy reaches its final volume as Ringil comes to his final reckoning and sees the world tipping into another war with the dragon folk. And, most terrifying of all, the prophecy of a dark lord come to rule may be coming true very close to home... THE DARK DEFILES is a supremely fast moving 240,000 word epic. A massive yet tight story that both shines a light on some mysteries from earlier volumes and reveals deeper mysteries yet. We encounter the artifacts of an ancient race, learn the true story of the ghostly Dwenda and follow three old friends as they face their greatest test yet.
