[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}"

York: The Clockwork Ghost

"National Book Award finalist Laura Ruby returns with the middle chapter in her epic alternate-history adventure—a journey that will test Tess, Theo, and Jaime and change their lives forever. It was only a few weeks ago that the Biedermann twins, Tess and Theo, along with their friend Jaime Cruz, followed the secrets of the Morningstarrs’ cipher further than anyone had in its century-and a-half history—and destroyed their beloved home in the process. But the Old York Cipher still isn’t solved. The demolition of 354 W. 73rd Street only revealed the next clue in the greatest mystery of the modern world, and if Tess, Theo, and Jaime want to discover what lies at the end of the puzzle laid into the buildings of New York by its brilliant, enigmatic architects, they will need to press on. But doing so could prove even more dangerous than they know. It is clear that the Morningstarr twins marshaled all the strange technology they had spent their lives creating in the construction of the Cipher, and that technology has its own plans for those who pursue it. It's also clear that Tess, Theo, and Jaime are not the only ones on the trail of the treasure. As enemies both known and unknown close in on them from all sides and the very foundations of the city seem to crumble around them, they will have to ask themselves how far they will go to change the unchangeable—and whether the price of knowing the secrets of the Morningstarrs is one they are willing to pay."
