Brian Lee Durfee Bücher

Unter den Göttern ist Streit entbrannt und zwingt den Menschen einen fürchterlichen Krieg auf. Über das Meer kommen die fanatischen Anhänger des verstoßenen Gottessohnes Raijael, um die Gläubigen der alten Laijons-Religion zu unterwerfen. Irgendwo in den Landen hält sich der Waisenjunge Nail versteckt. Auf ihm ruht die heimliche Hoffnung auf Rettung. Jovan, der älteste Sohn des gefallenen Königs, regiert – von immer schlimmeren Wahnvorstellungen besessen – über Gul Kana. Verzweifelt versuchen seine zwei Schwestern sich ihm entgegenzustellen. Jondralyn lernt mit allen Mühen und Qualen die hohe Kunst des Schwertkampfs, während Tala ein Geheimnis lüftet, das nicht nur die Familie, sondern das ganze Land zu zerstören vermag. Kann das Königreich sowohl die Gefahren von innen als auch die Bedrohung durch die neue Religion Raijaels überstehen? Und hat das Schicksal des jungen Nail etwas mit einer uralten Prophezeiung zu tun?

Gladiator. Assassin. Thief. Princess. And the Slave. The Five Warrior Angels have been revealed, one by one the mystical weapons they once wielded are being found, and an ancient prophecy is finally being fulfilled. Or is it? For when it comes to recorded history, much is intended to manipulate and deceive. Returning to the kingdom of Gul Kana, Princess Jondralyn has suffered a devastating loss, discovering that not all prophecy is to be assumed, not all scripture to be trusted. At the same time, her younger sister, Tala, has found faith within herself while facing off against villains, who are using her for their devices. Hawkwood, the former Bloodwood Assassin, is captured. And the knight, Gault, betrayed by the Angel Prince, can only wonder of the fate of his daughter who has fallen into terrible hands. All while Nail embarks upon the deadliest quest the Five Isles has ever known.

A sweeping epic fantasy weaving both destiny and ancient magic in this masterful final novel in the beloved Five Warrior Angels trilogy from Brian Lee Durfee. In the age of belief, magic is a myth. But when an apocalyptic crusade comes to the remote border of Gul Kana, that belief is shattered as is the tenuous peace that held the Five Isles together. Now, the prophecies that were used to justify this war are unravelling revealing a hidden agenda while the world lies in the wake of the degradations of this war. But a slim skein of hope resides within the hidden truths, long kept secret, and scattered throughout the isles—truths less reliant upon prophecy than heroism, and great sacrifice. Not everything is as it seems in this epic, long-awaited conclusion to trilogy which Booklist raved as “high fantasy in the vein of Stephen R. Donaldson or David Eddings, with generous helpings from George R. R. Martin.”

Brian Lee has been dubbed 'The indefatigable historian of Cardiff' and Cardiff Remember When is his 16th book about his beloved birthplace. He takes us back to the 1930s, 40s, 50s and 60s to a much different Cardiff than the one we know today. With nearly 300 photographs, many of them from the Media Wales archives, Remember When is a powerful pictorial record and a nostalgic reminder of how Wales' vibrant capital city has changed over the years.
