THE FIRST BOOK OF THE IMAGER PORTFOLIO
Imager is the beginning of a whole new fantasy in a whole new magical world from the bestselling creator of Recluce. Although Rhennthyl is the son of a leading wool merchant in L’Excelsis, the capital of Solidar, the most powerful nation on Terahnar, he has spent years becoming a journeyman artist and is skilled and diligent enough to be considered for the status of master artisan—in another two years. Then, in a single moment, his entire life is transformed when his master patron is killed in a flash fire, and Rhenn discovers he is an imager—one of the few in the entire world of Terahnar who can visualize things and make them real.
He must leave his family and join the Collegium of Imagisle. Imagers live separately from the rest of society because of their abilities (they can do accidental magic even while asleep), and because they are both feared and vulnerable. In this new life, Rhenn discovers that all too many of the “truths” he knew were nothing of the sort. Every day brings a new threat to his life. He makes a powerful enemy while righting a wrong, and begins to learn to do magic in secret. Imager is the innovative and enchanting opening of an involving new fantasy story.

Anna Marshall wishes she could be anywhere but Ames, Iowa, and anything but a singer and music instructor at Iowa State University. She makes her wish at exactly the wrong time, though, because on Erde a travel sorceress has called for a powerful sorceress - and gets Anna, angry, confused, and thinking that this is not what she had in mind. On Erde, Anna is no longer just a professional singer, she is a sorceress, potentially the strongest on the whole world. On Erde, song is magic, and a wrong note can mean death to a sorcerer. Because Anna has trained a lifetime to reach the level where she won't miss a note under the worst conditions, she can sing more powerfully and precisely than anyone else on Erde. But Anna's power does not go unnoticed. The moment she arrives she becomes a target: both the political entities, who fear the unknown power she represents, and the sexist men of Erde, who fear a powerful woman, will try to kill her. Merely to survive, Anna must learn enough magic to use her musical skills and enough about Erde to protect herself and maybe, just maybe, create a new life for herself.

In 2002, L.E. Modesitt, Jr., the author of the Recluce Saga and the Spellsong Cycle launched a marvelous new fantasy series with LEGACIES, the first book of the Corean Chronicles. Called “solidly engrossing” by Kirkus Reviews, it introduced the world of Corus, the first Modesitt imaginary world to incorporate supernatural creatures into its design. Its hero was Alucius, one of the “Talented” few who can use the magic of Corus.
Millennia ago, a magical disaster caused the fall of a great civilization that spanned a continent, and ended a golden age. Corus today is a world of contending countries, of struggling humans, strange animals and elusive supernatural creatures. Though much has been forgotten, it is still a place of magical powers, and of a few people who are Talented enough to use them.
Even as a child, Alucius showed very strong Talent. He was warned never to reveal it, lest others seek to exploit it. But as he grows to young manhood, Alucius must serve in the Militia like his father before him. When his country is invaded by the slave armies of the Matrial, immortal ruler of a nearby land, Alucius is captured and magically enslaved.
A time of changes has come upon all of the world of Corus. If the evil surrounding the Matrial is not ended, those changes will not be happy ones. Alucius and his Talent have a central role to play.

Il est aussi l'Ombre et protège le faible et l'orphelin durant les nuits de Devanta et surtout de Thurene, la capitale qui a des allures de Nouveau paris.
La Brute, ce sont les frères Eloi qui, après avoir construit sans scrupules un empire du divertissement, ont décidé d'investir dans un projet plus ambitieux.
Le truand c'est Judeon Maraniss, physicien sans génie, qui en détournant quelques technologies connues ou volées entreprend de créer un univers-bulle, Elyseum, distinct du nôtre mais qui s'enflera aux dépens de celui-ci, condamné. Or, Donne se voit confier plusieurs missions dont la plus étrange concerne un mystérieux projet Elyseum.
Un Space opera jubilatoire, truffé d'allusions à de grandes œuvres de la littérature et de la science-fiction.
A collection of sixteen sci-fi and fantasy stories edited by #1 New York Times bestselling author Laurell K. Hamilton and author William McCaskey.
A child’s wish for her father comes true. The end of the world has never been so much fun. Conquering personal demons becomes all too real. It’s not always about winning; sometimes it’s about showing up for the fight. It’s about loving your life’s work, and jobs that make you question everything.
In this anthology, seventeen authors have woven together brand-new stories that speak to the darkness and despair that life brings while reminding us that good deeds, humor, love, sacrifice, dedication, and following our joy can ignite a light that burns so bright the darkness cannot last.
Danger. Mauvais. Mort. Les héros peuvent tout affronter, mais ils ne peuvent pas le faire seuls.
Tout au long de l’histoire, des créatures, grandes et petites, se sont tenues aux côtés des héros et les ont aidés à traverser des moments difficiles, que ce soit sur le champ de bataille ou sur leurs genoux. Dans ces toutes nouvelles histoires, seize auteurs à succès nous régalent avec des aventures de compagnons animaux et comment ce sont souvent eux qui sauvent le sauveteur.
