This collection features three fantasy series starters by CJ Pyrah, Jennifer Ealey, and R.A. Fisher. In Ulskandar, a war rages among Humans, Dwarves, and other races as ancient relics threaten to emerge, pushing the fragile kingdoms toward destruction. Young Torben must confront his destiny and become the hero the realm desperately needs, or risk falling like those before him. In another tale, Jayhan, a cheerful eight-year-old with nearly white eyes due to his formidable great-grandmother, grapples with his heritage. His life takes a turn when he rescues Sasha, a dark-eyed orphan with a mysterious past. As their secrets unfold, they are drawn into a perilous world filled with ancient prophecies and deadly foes. Together, they must uncover the truth behind a dark amulet before it's too late. Lastly, Syrina, a Kalis—a master of disguise, assassin, and spy—serves the High Merchants' Syndicate. After a routine mission goes awry, she finds herself in the city of Fom, where she discovers a secret that could spell doom for her kind. As an ancient power awakens within her, Syrina races against time to uncover the truth and confront the looming threat, but she may already be too late.
C. J. Pyrah Boeken
C.J. Pyrah creëert ingewikkelde literaire werelden, geworteld in de grenzeloze rijken van fantasy en sciencefiction, geïnspireerd door literaire grootheden en een diepe academische achtergrond in klassieke archeologie en oude geschiedenis. Deze unieke mix voedt zijn passie voor het creëren van rijke mythologieën, gedetailleerde geschiedenissen en uitgestrekte fictieve landschappen. Pyrah besteedt aanzienlijke tijd aan de nauwgezette ontwikkeling van kaarten, verzonnen alfabetten en complexe pantheons voor de settings van zijn verhalen. Zijn aanpak resulteert in verhalen die bevolkt worden door de diepgaand overwogen geschiedenissen en culturen van zijn zorgvuldig opgebouwde universums.
