[Polish] - Slave, Warrior, Queen (Of Crowns and Glory--Book 1)

"„Morgan Rice stworzyła coś, co zapowiada się na kolejny fantastyczny cykl powieści, który przeniesie nas w świat fantasy pełen męstwa, honoru, odwagi, magii i wiary w przeznaczenie. Morgan po raz kolejny udało się stworzyć silne postaci, którym kibicujemy na każdym kroku… To powieść, która powinna się znaleźć w biblioteczce każdego, kto uwielbia dobrze napisane fantasy.” -- Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (w odniesieniu do “Powrotu smoków”) Autorka bestsellerowych powieści Morgan Rice przedstawia nowy, porywający cykl powieści fantasy. 17-letnia Ceres, piękna i biedna dziewczyna z imperialnego miasta Delos, wiedzie ciężkie i bezlitosne życie wieśniaczki. Za dnia dostarcza wykutą przez swego ojca broń na pałacowe tereny ćwiczebne, a nocą potajemnie ćwiczy się z wojownikami, pragnąc stać się jednym z nich, choć żyje w królestwie, w którym dziewczynom zabroniono walczyć. Niebawem zostaje jednak sprzedana w niewolę i jest zrozpaczona. 18-letni książę Thanos gardzi wszystkim, co uosabia jego rodzina. Odrazą napawa go to, jak traktują poddanych, a w szczególności brutalne rozgrywki – Jatki, najważniejsze wydarzenie w grodzie. Młodzian – będący wspaniałym wojownikiem – pragnie uwolnić się od ograniczeń, które narzuca mu jego wychowanie, lecz nie dostrzega żadnego wyjścia z tej sytuacji. Gdy Ceres zaskakuje dwór swymi ukrytymi zdolnościami, zostaje niesłusznie wtrącona do lochu i skazana na gorszy los, niż byłaby w stanie sobie wyobrazić. Oczarowany Thanos musi podjąć decyzję, czy zaryzykuje dla niej wszystko. Wepchnięta w świat obłudy i śmiertelnie niebezpiecznych tajemnic Ceres szybko przekonuje się, że istnieją ci, którzy rządzą, i ci, którzy są pionkami w ich rozgrywkach. I że czasami bycie wybranym jest najgorszym, co może się przytrafić. NIEWOLNICA, WOJOWNICZKA, KRÓLOWA opowiada wspaniałą historię tragicznej miłości, zemsty, zdrady, ambicji i przeznaczenia. Pełna niezapomnianych bohaterów i trzymającej w napięciu akcji powieść przenosi nas w świat, którego nigdy nie zapomnimy i który sprawi, że na nowo zakochamy się w fantasy. Wkrótce ukaże się księga druga cyklu O KORONIE I CHWALE!"

[Italian] - Un'Impresa da Eroi (Libro #1 in L'Anello Dello Stregone) [Italian Edition]

"Dall’autrice best-seller Morgan Rice giunge il primo capitolo di una nuova serie fantasy. UN’IMPRESA DA EROI (LIBRO 1 nell’ANELLO DELLO STREGONE) ruota attorno all’epica crescita di un ragazzo speciale, un quattordicenne proveniente da un piccolo villaggio ai confini del Regno dell’Anello. Il più giovane di quattro fratelli, il meno favorito del padre, odiato dai suoi fratelli, Thorgrin sente di essere diverso dagli altri. Sogna di diventare un grande guerriero, di entrare tra gli uomini del Re e proteggere l’Anello dalle orde di creature che popolano l’altra parte del Canyon. Quando raggiunge l’età giusta ma il padre gli vieta di tentare l’ingresso nella Legione del Re, Thor rifiuta di prendere quel ‘no’ come una risposta definitiva: si mette in cammino da solo, determinato a farsi strada all’interno della Corte del Re ed essere preso sul serio. Ma la Corte del Re è impegnata con i propri drammi familiari, lotte di potere, ambizioni, gelosia, violenza e tradimento. Re MacGil deve scegliere un erede tra i suoi figli e l’antica Spada della Dinastia, la sorgente di tutto il loro potere, giace ancora intatta in attesa del prescelto. Thorgrin si presenta come un outsider e lotta per essere accettato e per far parte della Legione del Re. Thorgrin viene a scoprire di avere misteriosi poteri per lui stesso incomprensibili, capisce di possedere un dono speciale e un altrettanto speciale destino. Contro ogni opposizione, si innamora della figlia del re e mentre la loro relazione proibita sboccia, Thor scopre di avere dei potenti rivali. Mentre combatte per dare senso ai propri poteri, lo stregone del re lo prende sotto la propria ala protettiva e gli racconta della madre che non ha mai conosciuto, di una terra lontana, oltre il Canyon, addirittura al di là della terra dei Draghi. Prima che Thorgrin possa avventurarsi all’esterno e diventare il guerriero che desidera, deve portare a compimento il suo allenamento. Ma questo rischia di essere interrotto quando Thor si trova proiettato nel bel mezzo dei complotti e contro-complotti reali, che minacciano il suo amore e lo mettono al tappeto – e l’intero regno con lui. Con la sua sofisticata struttura e caratterizzazione, UN’IMPRESA DA EROI è un racconto epico di amici e innamorati, di rivali e seguaci, di cavalieri e draghi, di intrighi e macchinazioni politiche, di crescita, di cuori spezzati, di inganno, ambizione e tradimento. È un racconto di onore e coraggio, di fato e destino, di stregoneria. È un fantasy che ci trasporta in un mondo che non dimenticheremo mai, e che affascinerà lettori di ogni età e genere. Il libro è costituito da 82.000 parole. Il secondo libro della serie verrà presto pubblicato. Tradotto da Annalisa Lovat “Mi ha preso fin dall’inizio e non ho più potuto smettere…. Questa storia è un’avventura sorprendente, incalzante e piena d’azione fin dall’inizio. Nono esistono momenti morti.” --Paranormal Romance Guild {parlando di Turned} “Pieno zeppo di azione, romanticismo, avventura e suspense. Metteteci sopra le mani e non finirete di innamorarvene.” --vampirebooksite.com (parlando di Turned) “Un grande intreccio, e proprio il genere di libro che farete fatica a mettere giù per dormire. Il finale è ad alta tensione, talmente spettacolare che vorrete comprare all’istante il libro successivo, anche solo per vedere cosa succede.” --The Dallas Examiner {parlando di Loved}"

If her powers, and the weapon, are strong enough, her mother awaits her, ready to reveal the secrets of her destiny, and of her birth. With its strong atmosphere and complex characters, KINGS AND SORCERERS is a sweeping saga of knights and warriors, of kings and lords, of honor and valor, of magic, destiny, monsters and dragons. It is fantasy at its finest, inviting us into a world that will live with us forever, one that appeals to all ages and genders."
