Jay Kristoff

    11 november 1973

    Jay Kristoff creëert introspectieve, epische fantasy- en sciencefictionwerken, gekenmerkt door een duistere toon en een onbevreesde kijk op de wereld. Zijn verhalen verkennen regelmatig complexe morele dilemma's en onverwachte wendingen. Kristoff schuwt er niet voor om traditionele motieven te ondermijnen en de rauwe realiteiten van zijn personages bloot te leggen. Zijn stijl is krachtig en boeiend, met prioriteit voor complexe wereldopbouw en emotionele diepgang.

      Mia Corvere, vernietiger van keizerrijken, heeft haar plek gevonden onder de Klingen van Onze Vrouwe van Gezegende Moord, maar velen binnen de congregatie van de Rode Kerk vinden dat ze die niet verdient. Haar positie is onzeker, en ze is nog altijd geen stap dichter bij de wraak die ze wil nemen na de brute dood van haar familie. Maar na een fatale confrontatie met een oude vijand begint Mia te vermoeden dat de Rode Kerk zo haar eigen motieven heeft. Als vervolgens bekend wordt dat Consul Scaeva en Kardinaal Duomo de afsluiting van de grote spelen in Godsgraf zullen bezoeken, trotseert Mia de Kerk en verkoopt ze zichzelf als slaaf, zodat ze wraak kan nemen. Een belofte die ze zichzelf maakte op de dag dat ze alles verloor. Op het zand van de arena vindt Mia nieuwe bondgenoten en bittere rivalen, en rijzen er meer vragen over haar rare verwantschap met de schaduwen. Als de complotten zich ontvouwen, de geheimen worden onthuld en het aantal doden blijft oplopen tussen de muren van het collegium, wordt Mia gedwongen te kiezen tussen loyaliteit en haar dorst naar wraak.

    • From bestselling author duo Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff comes the exciting finale in the trilogy that broke the mold and has been called stylistically mesmerizing and out-of-this-world-awesome. Kady, Ezra, Hanna, and Nik narrowly escaped with their lives from the attacks on Heimdall station and now find themselves crammed with 2,000 refugees on the container ship, Mao. With the jump station destroyed and their resources scarce, the only option is to return to Kerenza--but who knows what they'll find seven months after the invasion? Meanwhile, Kady's cousin, Asha, survived the initial BeiTech assault and has joined Kerenza's ragtag underground resistance. When Rhys--an old flame from Asha's past--reappears on Kerenza, the two find themselves on opposite sides of the conflict. With time running out, a final battle will be waged on land and in space, heros will fall, and hearts will be broken.

      First, the bad news: an ancient evil--you know, your standard consume-all-life-in-the-galaxy deal--is about to be unleashed. The good news? Squad 312 is standing by to save the day. They've just got to take care of a few small distractions first. Like the clan of gremps who'd like to rearrange their favorite faces. And the cadre of illegit GIA agents with creepy flowers where their eyes used to be, who'll stop at nothing to get their hands on Auri. Then there's Kal's long-lost sister, who's not exactly happy to see her baby brother, and has a Syldrathi army at her back. With half the known galaxy on their tails, Squad 312 has never felt so wanted. When they learn the Hadfield has been found, it's time to come out of hiding. Two centuries ago, the colony ship vanished, leaving Auri as its sole survivor. Now, its black box might be what saves them. But time is short, and if Auri can't learn to master her powers as a Trigger, the squad and all their admirers are going to be deader than the Great Ultrasaur of Abraaxis IV. Shocking revelations, bank heists, mysterious gifts, inappropriately tight bodysuits, and an epic firefight will determine the fate of the Aurora Legion's most unforgettable heroes--and maybe the rest of the galaxy as well.
