Aliette de Bodard Bücher

Preisgekrönter Lesegenuss für Urban-Fantasy-Fans: In Aliette de Bodards Roman „Das Haus der gebrochenen Schwingen“ liefern sich Menschen, Magier und gefallene Engel in den Ruinen von Paris erbitterte Kämpfe um die Macht. Der atmosphärisch-düstere Urban-Fantasy-Roman der Nebula-Award-Preisträgerin wurde von der internationalen Presse gefeiert und außerdem mit einem British Science Fiction Award ausgezeichnet. Paris liegt nach dem großen magischen Krieg in Trümmern. Gefallene Engel kämpfen um die Herrschaft über die zerstörte Stadt. Noch steht Selene an der Spitze der Macht, doch seit dem Verschwinden ihres Mentors Lucifer Morningstar trachten andere nach ihrem Thron. Als ein tödlicher Fluch entfesselt wird, scheint Selenes Ende gekommen. Drei Außenseiter könnten ihre Rettung sein: der gefangene Magier Philippe, die junge Gefallene Isabelle und die Alchimistin Madeleine, deren menschlicher Körper abhängig ist von Engels-Essenz, einer zerstörerischen magischen Droge. Doch mit ihrem Wissen und ihren Fähigkeiten könnten sie Selene auch endgültig zu Fall bringen ... “Ein wunderbar gemachter Roman voller vielschichtiger Figuren und mit einem postapokalyptischen Paris als Schauplatz – ein Szenario, das einen nicht mehr loslässt.“ The Guardian

"When tech scavenger Xích Si is captured and imprisoned by the infamous pirates of the Red Banner, she expects to be tortured or killed. Instead, their leader, Rice Fish, makes Xích Si an utterly incredible proposition: an offer of marriage. Both have their reasons for this arrangement: Xích Si needs protection; Rice Fish, a sentient spaceship, needs a technical expert to investigate the death of her first wife, the Red Scholar. That's all there is to it. But as the interstellar war against piracy rages on and their own investigation reaches a dire conclusion, the two of them discover that their arrangement has evolved into something much less business-focused and more personal... and tender. And maybe the best thing that's ever happened to either of them - but only if they can find a way to survive together."--Publisher
