Primera novela de esta trilogía de fantasía épica con inspiración vikinga. Ha pasado un siglo desde que los dioses lucharon y se extinguieron. Ahora solo quedan sus huesos, que prometen un gran poder a aquellos lo suficientemente valientes como para buscarlos. Mientras los susurros de guerra resuenan en la tierra de Vigrið, el destino sigue los pasos de tres guerreros: una cazadora en una búsqueda peligrosa, una mujer noble que busca la fama en la batalla y un esclavo que busca venganza entre los mercenarios conocidos como los Hermanos de Sangre.

Il y a bien longtemps que les humains sont arrivés sur les Terres Bannies, qu'ils ont disputées victorieusement aux clans de géants qui les peuplaient. Des terres que l'affrontement entre les dieux antagonistes Asroth et Elyon a bien failli détruire. Aussi, quand cette guerre larvée menace d'éclater à nouveau, bien des destins vont se trouver bouleversés. À commencer par celui du jeune Corban, qui aspire à manier l'épée et la lance pour protéger son royaume et va devoir mettre son courage à l'épreuve bien plus vite que prévu.

Wo sich die Verfemten Lande erstrecken, färbte Blut die Welt einst rot. Wo heute uralte Ruinen stehen, bezwangen Menschen Giganten. Wo einzig das Heulen der Woelven erklingt, brannte vor tausenden Jahren die Welt. Doch zu lange haben sich die Menschen in Sicherheit gewähnt. Nun weinen die Gigantensteine Blut, und in den Verfemten Landen regt sich erneut, was für immer verbannt sein sollte. Ein uralter Feind hat längst eine Allianz geschmiedet und wartet darauf, dass seine Stunde kommt. Und nur einer vermag es, ihn aufzuhalten, wenn die Schwarze Sonne die Welt betritt

Der Auftakt der neuen düsteren High-Fantasy-Trilogie. In "Nordnacht", der neuen Fantasy-Saga von John Gwynne, werden die Hörer:innen in eine Welt entführt, die der skandinavischen Mythologie entlehnt ist. Im hohen Norden leben nicht nur die kriegerischen Wikingerstämme, die gegeneinander um Macht und Einfluss kämpfen, sondern die hohen Berge und wilden Fjorde werden auch von anderen unheimlichen und todbringenden Wesen bevölkert.

Après une guerre dévastatrice ayant mené à leur extinction, les dieux ont laissé derrière eux une plaine dévastée, Vígríd. Que ce soit à l'ombre de la chaîne de montagnes constituée des os d'un ancien dieu ou dans leurs ports abrités au fond des fjords, les humains survivent aux incursions des vaesens, de terrifiants monstres vivant de l'autre côté de l'unique passe séparant leurs terres. Au milieu de conflits de pouvoir entre les différents jarls, une menace semble émerger alors que les enlèvements d'enfants se multiplient.

Dopo il successo di "Malice: La guerra degli dei", vincitore nel 2012 del premio David Gemmell Morningstar, il secondo volume della saga "La fede e l'inganno". L'annosa guerra condotta dal re di Tenebral, Nathair, ha ormai devastato le Terre dell'Esilio. Insieme alla sua perfida e intrigante alleata, la regina Rhin di Cambren, i cui reali obiettivi sono sconosciuti allo stesso sovrano, il conquistatore percorre quelle immense lande con il suo esercito spietato, sterminando chiunque si opponga alla sua crociata e schiacciando sotto il suo giogo le genti sconfitte.
