Chris Wooding Knihy

2. kniha série Utkaná cesta. Saramyrské impérium má nového císaře. Tajemný kult Tkalců je stále mocnější a Tkalci rozehrávají poslední dějství své hry, která začala před mnoha staletími nalezením podivného živoucího kamene – sabatitu. Kdo vlastně jsou, oč usilují a jaká síla je sjednocuje? Proč se o dění v Saramyru začínají zajímat bohové a jiné starobylé bytosti a proč si pro své účely vyvolili princeznu císařovnu Luciu tu Erinimu? Mistr vypravěč Chris Wooding splétá další pramen svého příběhu z vláken osudů hrdinů předchozího dílu – Kaiku, Asary, Zaelise – a také zcela nových postav a postaviček. Druhý díl temné fantasy Utkaná cesta opět posouvá žánrové hranice vypravěčství, neotřelé imaginace a bohatého jazyka. Přeložil Aleš Drobek.

V temných ulicích Londýna číhá zlo... Kdo se v noci odváží ven, nevyhnutelně se stane jeho kořistí. Kořistí vlků, vrahů nebo čehosi ještě mnohem příšernějšího. Skryté zlo je však bezedné. Za fasádou bohatství a dobročinnosti nejvyšších vrstev společnosti se skrývá ohavné spiknutí, které ohrožuje samotnou existenci lidstva. Klíčem k pochopení absolutního zla je krásná, zranitelná a tajuplná Alaizabel Crayová.

1. kniha série Utkaná cesta. Lidé vládnou světu pouze zdánlivě. Skutečnými vládci jsou Tkalci, žijící v osamělém klášteře vysoko v horách. Zdroj tkalcovské moci je zároveň původce choroby, která jako rakovina plíživě rozkládá zemi a zahlcuje ji anomálními zvířaty, zdeformovanými rostlinami a lidskými zrůdami. Některé z nich ale mají neuvěřitelné schopnosti. Odlišnost budící nenávist. Mocenské hry. Násilí. Jakou cenu v takovém světě má svoboda? Přeložil Aleš Drobek.

All good things come to an end. And this is it: the last stand of the Ketty Jay and her intrepid crew. They've been shot down, set up, double-crossed and ripped off. They've stolen priceless treasures, destroyed a ten-thousand-year-old Azryx city and sort-of-accidentally blew up the son of the Archduke. Now they've gone and started a civil war. This time, they're really in trouble.

Things are finally looking good for Captain Frey and his crew. The Ketty Jay has been fixed up good as new. They've got their first taste of fortune and fame. And, just for once, nobody is trying to kill them. Even Trinica Dracken, Frey's ex-fiancée and long-time nemesis, has given up her quest for revenge. In fact, she's offered them a job - one that will take them deep into the desert heart of Samarla, the land of their ancient enemies. To a place where the secrets of the past lie in wait for the unwary. Secrets that might very well cost Frey everything. Join the crew of the Ketty Jay on their greatest adventure yet: a story of mayhem and mischief, roof-top chases and death-defying races, murderous daemons, psychopathic golems and a particularly cranky cat. The first time was to clear his name. The second time was for money. This time, Frey's in a race against the clock for the ultimate prize: to save his own life.
