In an epic fantasy set in the dawn of Creation, the world of Irth is filled with wizards, witch queens, and powerful magic emanating from the Abiding Star. The nobility, who control most of this mystic energy, inhabit floating cities and engage in treacherous power struggles. Those who fail in their ambitions are cast into the abyss beyond the Edge, landing in the cold realm of the Dark Shore—Earth—where no one has ever returned. Until now. Hu’dre Vra, a former scavenger who discovered a magical sword but misused it, has emerged from the Dark Shore with formidable black magic. Leading an army of cacodemons immune to Irth's enchantments, he seeks vengeance on those who exiled him. However, resistance arises against his reign of terror. The inventive thief Ripcat and his clever partner Dogbrick join forces with the brave noblewoman Jyoti and her companions, including her family's ancient sorcerer, Caval. Together, they must summon their courage, wits, and lives to confront the brutal minions of the Dark Shore. This tale weaves a magically charged narrative of a once-charmed world facing supernatural evil that threatens to consume it.

Diese historische Romanze, die im Jahr 1190 während der Herrschaft von Richard Löwenherz in England spielt, offenbart die rohe Erfahrung der Liebe: romantisch, sexuell und spirituell. Die dramatische Handlung bewegt sich von Wales durch ein tumultuöses Europa, das von den Kreuzzügen erschüttert wird, bis ins intensiv farbenfrohe Palästina und zurück. Der arrogante Guy Lanfranc übernimmt die Kontrolle über die Familienburg, indem er seine gehasste Mutter, die alte Baroness Ailena Valaise, auf eine Pilgerreise ins Heilige Land schickt. Die listige Ailena schwört Rache und findet das Mittel dazu in der Person von Rachel Tibbon, einem jüdischen Mädchen, das das Massaker an ihrer Familie und anderen Juden nach den Niederlagen der Kreuzritter überlebt hat. Ailenas Plan, die von ihrem Vater erbaute Burg zurückzuerobern, stürzt Rachel in ein gefährliches Abenteuer von Rache, Glauben – und wahrer Liebe, die gegen unmögliche Widrigkeiten steht.

One star-chained evening in a Manhattan bathroom, Carl Schirmer spontaneously combusts! His body transforms into light, mysteriously snatched from his banal life by an alien intelligence 130 billion years in the future. There, all spacetime is collapsing into a cosmic black hole, the Big Crunch – and a bold, cosmic destiny awaits Carl. Rebuilt from the remnants of his light by extraterrestrials for a cryptic purpose, he awakens in time’s last world, the strangest of all – the Werld. At the edge of infinity, Carl discovers the Foke, nomadic humans who travel among the floating islands of the Werld. The Foke teach him how to live – and love – at the end of time, and he loses his heart to his plucky guide, the beautiful Evoë. Their life together in this blissful kingdom that knows no aging or disease brings them to rapture – until Evoë falls prey to the zōtl, a spidery intelligence who hunt the Foke and eat the chemical by-products of their pain. In order to save his beloved from a gruesome death, Carl must return to Earth – 130 billion years earlier – where he is shocked to discover that the Earth he’s come back to is not the one he left. Can he meet the harsh demands of his task before the zōtl find him and begin ravishing the Earth?

"A grand and glorious visionary epic."-Robert Silverberg *** Set in the artificial planetary system of Chalco-Doror, which is no more and no less than a vast cosmic machine, The Last Legends of Earth is a love story, a gripping saga of struggle against alien control, and an examination of the machinery of creation and destruction. Above all, it is world-building of the highest and grandest order, on a scale rarely seen in science fiction since the great works of Olaf Stapledon.

This is the story of a young man's odyssey of self-discovery, from dangerous adolescent to warrior, from outcast to near-godhood, in a far-future Earth dramatically changed from the one we know.
