The ​World of Ice and Fire

Christopher Paolini - Eragon ​(angol)
When ​Eragon finds a polished stone in the forest, he thinks it is the lucky discovery of a poor farm boy; perhaps it will buy his family meat for the winter. But when the stone brings a dragon hatchling, Eragon soon realizes he has stumbled upon a legacy nearly as old as the Empire itself. Overnight his simple life is shattered and he is thrust into a perilous new world of destiny, magic and power. With only an ancient sword and the advice of an old storyteller for guidance, Eragon and the fledgling dragon must navigate the dangerous terrain and dark enemies of an Empire ruled by a king whose evil knows no bounds. Can Eragon take up the mantle of the legendary Dragon Riders? The fate of the Empire may rest in his hands...

George R. R. Martin - A ​Clash of Kings
The ​second novel of Martin's titanic Song of Ice and Fire saga (A Game of Thrones, 1996) begins with Princess Arya Stark fleeing her dead father's capital of King's Landing, disguised as a boy. It ends with the princess, now known as Weasel, having led the liberation of the accursed castle of Harrenhal. In between, her actions map the further course of a truly epic fantasy set in a world bedecked with 8000 years of history, beset by an imminent winter that will last 10 years and bedazzled by swords and spells wielded to devastating effect by the scrupulous and unscrupulous alike. Standout characters besides Arya include Queen Cersei, so lacking in morals that she becomes almost pitiable; the queen's brother, the relentlessly ingenious dwarf Tyrion Lannister; and Arya's brother, Prince Brandon, crippled except when he runs with the wolves in his dreams. The novel is notable particularly for the lived-in quality of its world, created through abundant detail that dramatically increases narrative length even as it aids suspension of disbelief; for the comparatively modest role of magic (although with one ambitious young woman raising a trio of dragons, that may change in future volumes); and for its magnificent action-filled climax, an amphibious assault on King's Landing, now ruled by the evil Queen Cersei. Martin may not rival Tolkien or Robert Jordan, but he ranks with such accomplished medievalists of fantasy as Poul Anderson and Gordon Dickson. Here, he provides a banquet for fantasy lovers with large appetites?and this is only the second course of a repast with no end in sight. Author tour.

George R. R. Martin - The ​Winds of Winter
The ​Winds of Winter is the forthcoming sixth novel in the epic fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire by George R. R. Martin. The previous installment, A Dance with Dragons, covered less story than Martin intended, omitting at least one planned large battle sequence and leaving several character threads ending in cliffhangers. Martin intends to resolve these cliffhangers "very early" in The Winds of Winter, saying "I'm going to open with the two big battles that I was building up to, the battle in the ice and the battle at Meereen—the battle of Slaver's Bay. And then take it from there."

George R. R. Martin - A ​Storm of Swords
The ​third volume of the high fantasy saga that began with A Game of Thrones and continued in A Clash of Kings is one of the more rewarding examples of gigantism in contemporary fantasy. As Martin's richly imagined world slides closer to its 10-year winter, both the weather and the warfare worsen. In the north, King Joffrey of House Lannister sits uneasily on the Iron Throne. With the aid of a peasant wench, Jaime Lannister, the Kingslayer, escapes from jail in Riverrun. Jaime goes to the other youthful ruler, Robb Stark, to secure the release of Joffrey's prisoners, Robb's sisters Arya and Sansa Stark. Meanwhile, in the south, Queen Daenarys tries to assert her claim to the various thrones with an army of eunuchs, but discovers that she must choose between conquering more and ruling well what she has already taken. The complexity of characters such as Daenarys, Arya and the Kingslayer will keep readers turning even the vast number of pages contained in this volume, for the author, like Tolkien or Jordan, makes us care about their fates. Those two fantasy greats are also evoked by Martin's ability to convey such sensual experiences as the heat of wildfire, the chill of ice, the smell of the sea and the sheer gargantuan indigestibility of the medieval banquet at its most excessive. Perhaps this saga doesn't go as far beyond the previous bounds of high fantasy as some claim, but for most readers it certainly goes far enough to command their attention.

George R. R. Martin - Kardok ​vihara
Ritkán ​született még olyan történet, amely annyira rabul ejtené egy egész nemzedék képzeletét és szívét, olyan lebilincselő mese, mint George R. R. Martin hatalmas fantasy-sorozata. A Trónok harcában megismertünk egy ősi királyságot, amelyet könyörtelen férfiak és nők hatalomvágya marcangolt. A Királyok csatájában kiéhezett ragadozóként söpört végig a birodalmon a háború, a mágia és az őrület. Most pedig, ahogy a hatalomért folytatott embertelen küzdelem viharos tetőpontjához közeledik, a megtépázott és megosztott királyság kénytelen szembenézni legszörnyűbb ellenségével, egy ellenséggel, amely a síron túlról érkezik... A hatalomért versengő öt király közül egy halott, egy pedig meggyengült, a harcok mégis változatlan hevességgel tombolnak. Szövetségek születnek és hullanak szét. A Vastrónuson a Lannister-házból való Joffrey, a Hét Királyság ingatag uralkodója ül. Legengesztelhetetlenebb ellenfele, a legyőzött és megalázott Lord Stannis egy féltékeny boszorkány hálójába keveredett. Északot azonban még mindig az ifjú Robb Stark kormányozza Zúgó várából. Robb haditervet készít megvetett ellenségei, a Lannisterek ellen nem törődve azzal, hogy a húgát túszként tartják fogva Királyvárban, a Vastrónus fővárosában. A száműzött Daenerys királynő, a világ utolsó három sárkányának úrnője eközben egy távoli földrész véráztatta vidékein kel át. A pusztító dinasztiaháború dögletes, halált hozó bűzében Daenerys szövetségeseket keres és erőt gyűjt a Királyvár elleni támadáshoz, amellyel visszanyerheti a meggyőződése szerint törvényesen őt illető koronát. Ahogy a szembenálló erők a végső, gigászi összecsapásra készülnek, a civilizáció peremén barbár horda tűnik fel, amelynek célja a Hét Királyság leigázása. Rajtuk kívül azonban megjelenik a mesebeli Mások előőrse is, a feltámasztott élőhalottak természetfeletti, megállíthatatlan hadserege is. A világ jövője egy hajszálon függ, és senki sem adja fel végső győzelemre törő küldetését, míg a Hét Királyságban ki nem robban a kardok csillapíthatatlan vihara...

George R. R. Martin - Királyok ​csatája
Hogyan ​veszi fel a küzdelmet a világ másik végére száműzött királynő a szétesett és megosztott birodalom felett uralkodó gonosz démonok és gyilkosok ellen? Ki is valójában a titokzatos, álruhában rejtőző kisfiú? A Jó vagy Rossz képviselői nyerik meg végül a legöldöklőbb, legkegyetlenebb csatákat? Sikerül-e a szörnyű káoszt újra békévé varázsolni? A Királyok csatája a vad mulatságok és véres megtorlások világába repít el bennünket. Ebben a mesében fivér fivér ellen támad, éjszakánként pedig félelmetes kísértetek suhannak át a lombok közt. A káprázatos Holdhegység sziklái közt vademberek, veszedelmes boszorkányok és méregkeverők ereszkednek le, hogy feldúlják az addig békés vidéket. Vérfertőzés és apagyilkosság, alkímia és merénylet - e kegyetlen világ dicsőségének ára csak a vér lehet. A Királyok csatája merész, ötletes és bámulatos képzelőerővel megalkotott regény, kápráztató szépség és határtalan bűvölet hajtja át. Hamisítatlan és felejthetetlen izgalom - elejétől a végéig.

2003 ​őszén a New York Times sikerlistáján nagy szenzációt keltve az élre tört egy amerikai kamasz fiú fantasyregénye, amelyért azóta versengenek a világ könyvkiadói. Miről szól a regény? Az árván maradt, apjáról mit sem tudó Eragont nagybátyja neveli egy eldugott faluban. A tizenöt éves fiú (éppen ennyi volt a szerző is, amikor elkezdte írni a könyvet) egy éjszaka, vadászat közben tükörsimára csiszolt, rejtélyes kék követ talál, amely utóbb sárkánytojásnak bizonyul, és egy kék sárkány kel ki belőle. Ezzel Eragon élete egy csapásra megváltozik. Mint a sárkány gazdája, a Lovasok rendjébe emelkedik. A legendás Sárkánylovasok előző nemzedéke elpusztult a gonosz és rettentő mágusi hatalommal bíró Galbatorix király elleni harcban. Most az egyszerű falusi sihederre hárul a feladat, hogy megszabadítsa országát a kegyetlen zsarnokságtól. Segítője Saphira, a nőnemű sárkány, akivel gondolatátvitel útján kommunikál, és Brom, a rejtélyes öregember, a múlt titkainak tudója, aki a varázsláshoz is ért. Hosszú út áll előtte, tele izgalmakkal és felfedezésekkel – egy olyan világban, amelyet Tolkien könyveiből ismerhetünk, de amely friss életre támad, új vonásokkal gyarapodik, és egy szeretni való fiatal hőssel ajándékoz meg bennünket a kitűnő kamasz, Christopher Paolini könyvében.

Rachel Hartman - Seraphina ​(angol)
Four ​decades of peace have done little to ease the mistrust between humans and dragons in the kingdom of Goredd. Folding themselves into human shape, dragons attend court as ambassadors, and lend their rational, mathematical minds to universities as scholars and teachers. As the treaty's anniversary draws near, however, tensions are high. Seraphina Dombegh has reason to fear both sides. An unusually gifted musician, she joins the court just as a member of the royal family is murdered—in suspiciously draconian fashion. Seraphina is drawn into the investigation, partnering with the captain of the Queen's Guard, the dangerously perceptive Prince Lucian Kiggs. While they begin to uncover hints of a sinister plot to destroy the peace, Seraphina struggles to protect her own secret, the secret behind her musical gift, one so terrible that its discovery could mean her very life. In her exquisitely written fantasy debut, Rachel Hartman creates a rich, complex, and utterly original world.
