Jenn Lyons

    Jenn Lyons žije v Atlantě v Georgii se svým manželem, třemi kočkami a spoustou názorů na cokoli od mezopotámských stvořitelských mýtů po správný způsob přípravy martini. V různých fázích svého života chtěla být archeologem, antropologem, architektem, brusičem diamantů, módním ilustrátorem, grafickým designérem nebo Batmanem. Po obratu od takových zjevných profesí se nyní ve dne věnuje produkci videoher a večery tráví psaním sci-fi a fantasy. Když nepíše, lze ji nalézt na různých místných kávárnách, kde vášnivě debatuje o oxfordské čárce a díle Joss Whedona.

      Anarod žije, jen aby přežila, a nejraději se pohybuje v džunglích Hlubin s věrnou titánskou dračicí po svém boku. Když ji skupina dobrodruhů zachrání před zajetím místním krutovládcem Sikaryonem, zatouží se vrátit ke svému osamělému životu. Záhy však zjistí, že nešlo jen o obyčejnou záchranu. Anarod totiž dohnala její minulost. A ti prohnaní darebáci ji hodlají odtáhnout do Nebesánie, kde potřebují její pomoc při krádeži pokladu. Nebesánii vládnou draci a onen poklad patří současné regentce, obávané dračici Neveranimas. A ta chce Anarod zabít.

      The Discord of Gods marks the epic conclusion to Jenn Lyons's Chorus of Dragons series, closing out the saga that began with The Ruin of Kings , for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss.THEIR CONFLICT COULD END THEM ALL.Relos Var's final plans to enslave the universe are on the cusp of fruition. He believes there's only one being in existence that might be able to stop the demon Xaltorath.As these two masterminds circle each other, neither is paying attention to the third player on the board, Kihrin. Unfortunately, keeping himself classified in the 'pawn' category means Kihrin must pretend to be everything the prophecies threatened he'd the destroyer of all, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land. It also means finding an excuse to not destroy the people he loves (or any of the remaining Immortals) without arousing suspicion.Kihrin's goals are complicated by the fact that not all of his 'act' is one. His intentions may be sincere, but he's still being forced to grapple with the aftereffects of the corrupted magic ritual that twisted both him and the dragons. Worse, he's now tied to a body that is the literal avatar of a star ― a form that is becoming increasingly, catastrophically unstable. All of which means he's running out of time.After all, some stars fade ― but others explode.

      The Discord of Gods
    • The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin's enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies. Print run 150,000.

      Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man after killing the Emperor of Quur - and not in a good way. So he heads for Jorat, to find the fourth person named in prophesy, who will either save or damn the world. He meets Janel Theranon, who claims she already knows him. And she wants Kihrin's help in saving Jorat's capital from a dragon, who can only be slain with his sword's magic. Unwittingly, Kirin also finds himself at the centre of a rebellion.

      When destiny calls, there's no fighting back. Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions. Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins. Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world. He's destined to destroy it
