Witness the fate of beloved heroes--and enemies. THE BALANCE OF POWER HAS FINALLY TIPPED.... The precarious equilibrium among the four Londons has reached its breaking point. Once brimming with the red vivacity of magic, darkness casts a shadow over the Maresh Empire, leaving a space for another London to rise. WHO WILL CRUMBLE? Kell--once assumed to be the last surviving Antari--begins to waver under the pressure of competing loyalties. And in the wake of tragedy, can Arnes survive? WHO WILL RISE? Lila Bard, once a commonplace--but never common--thief, has survived and flourished through a series of magic trials. But now she must learn to control the magic, before it bleeds her dry. Meanwhile, the disgraced Captain Alucard Emery of the Night Spire collects his crew, attempting a race against time to acquire the impossible. WHO WILL TAKE CONTROL? And an ancient enemy returns to claim a crown while a fallen hero tries to save a world in decay. This description comes from the publisher.

Awakened Kingdom
N.K. Jemisin
2014 · 250 pages · 2 reviews
Others: Positive
Some truths must be learned the hard way. . . As the first new godling born in thousands of years — and the heir presumptive to Sieh the Trickster — Shill’s got big shoes to fill. She’s well on her way when she defies her parents and sneaks off to the mortal realm, which is no place for an impressionable young god. In short order she steals a demon’s grandchild, gets herself embroiled in a secret underground magical dance competition, and offends her oldest and most powerful sibling. But for Eino, the young Darren man whom Shill has befriended, the god-child’s silly games are serious business. Trapped in an arranged marriage and prohibited from pursuing his dreams, he has had enough. He will choose his own fate, even if he must betray a friend in the process — and Shill might just have to grow up faster than she thinks.

Blood of Elves
Andrzej Sapkowski
1994 · 409 pages · 4 reviews
Others: Mostly positive
Andrzej Sapkowski, arcymistrz światowej fantasy, zaprasza do swojego Neverlandu i przedstawia uwielbianą przez czytelników i wychwalaną przez krytykę wiedźmińską sagę! „Tako rzecze Ithlinne, elfia wieszczka i uzdrowicielka: Drżyjcie, albowiem nadchodzi Niszczyciel Narodów. Stratują waszą ziemię i sznurem ją podzielą. Miasta wasze zostaną zburzone i pozbawione mieszkańców. Nietoperz i kruk w domach waszych zamieszkają, drzewo straci liść, zgnije owoc i zgorzknieje ziarno. Zaprawdę powiadam wam, oto nadchodzi czas miecza i topora, wiek wilczej zamieci. Miasto płonie, wąskie uliczki zieją ogniem i żarem. Narasta wrzask, odgłosy zajadłej walki, murem wstrząsają głuche uderzenia taranu. Krzyk, strach. Obezwładniający, paraliżujący, duszący strach”.
