Produktbeschreibung

#1 Amazon Best Seller Epic Fantasy and Sword & Sorcery! Fans of R.A. Salvatore's-Drizzt Do' Urden, Frizt Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, David Gemmell's Druss the Legend, Raymond E. Feist's Pug the Wizard, and Robert E. Howard's Conan, delight in The Darkslayer series ... perhaps you will as well. A world of corruption and carnage has an indomitable defender... The all-powerful immortal being, Trinos, created the world of Bish for her own amusement. There an eternal war rages between good and evil under the gaze of the bored goddess. Humans battle monsters and each other in a savage, never-ending conflict--from the world's lush and perilous jungles to the streets of its decaying cities, rife with horror, death, and corruption, to the desolate wastes of the Outlands. And there is one who is charged with maintaining the delicate balance between light and darkness: the warrior Venir, the Darkslayer. Armed with the mantle of power, his helm, war axe, and his shield, Venir must defend what is good from those who would destroy it. Whether it's the monstrous underlings, emerging from below ground to wreak havoc and terror upon humanity, or the cruel and greedy Royals oppressing their own vulnerable race, no base, ruthless creature will escape his wrath. But now a sinister threat looms on the horizon that even the Darkslayer may be helpless too oppose. For a second immortal has entered the great game--and this new god will not rest until evil reigns supreme for all time. More ... On a volatile, savage world created by an entertainment-seeking goddess, the warrior known as the Darkslayer is the champion of good, battling monsters and men to maintain a fragile balance and prevent the world from descending into total chaos and desolation. From the mind of bestselling fantasist Craig Halloran, comes an epic sword and sorcery adventure set on an ingeniously imagined world where bored immortals play with the lives and fates of the unsuspecting beings inhabiting it. Once again Halloran proves himself to be the equal of R.A.Salvatore, Raymond E. Feist, and even George R.R. Martin when it comes to fantasy world-building and page-turning storytelling. With The Darkslayer, the author of the acclaimed Chronicles of the Dragon series gives his devoted fans yet another reason to rejoice. This fantasy romp through the wastelands has something for all Dungeons and Dragons lovers to thoroughly enjoy! A heavy mix of all the races and magic one would expect in a classic sword and sorcery adventure with some science fiction mixed in.
