Margaret Weis Livres

Il y eut des matins où je me réveillais persuadé que le monde un jour m'appartiendrait. Il y eut aussi de soirs, parmi les plus nombreux, où je me sentais vil, vaincu et ténébreux. Tout cela était vrai, le noir comme le blanc : telle est la destinée de tout être vivant. La légende est à l'histoire ce que l'huile est à l'eau. Aussitôt qu'on les mélange, c'est l'huile de la légende qui remonte à la surface et voile pour un temps les eaux parfois troubles de l'histoire. En ces jours savoureux où le bruit et la fureur de la Guerre de la Lance ne sont plus qu'un murmure à nos oreilles, l'heure est venue de dévoiler ce que furent vraiment la vie et l'œuvre du plus grand sorcier de Krynn, Raistlin Majere. Comme le montrera ce récit de ses jeunes années, un homme qui fut tant adoré - et tant honni - ne pouvait décidément pas être de la même trempe que le commun des mortels...

La vie des grands hommes n'est pas faite seulement d'instants sublimes. Dans sa jeunesse, le légendaire Raistlin Majere a payé pour le savoir. Bombardé sorcier de guerre - débutant - on imagine sa fureur quand il se retrouva dans un régiment de mercenaires, subordonné d'un mage qui n'avait pas le dixième de ses talents, et avec Caramon à ses basques, bien entendu ! L'histoire de la guerre de la lance prouve que Par-Salian eut raison de jouer ce tour pendable à Raistlin, alors que Caramon et lui crapahutaient et découvraient les horreurs de la guerre, Takhisis fourbissait ses armes, sans s'être frottés à la réalité, les deux futurs compagnons n'auraient pas pu relever le défi... Mais dieux... qu'ils en ont bavé ! Astinus de Palanthas

Ce soir, ce sont les rêves de l'humanité que l'ombre menace d'engloutir à jamais. Les dragons avancent en terre de Krynn, semant la désolation et la mort. Usés par les périls, cernés par le mal qui rôde, les compagnons de Tanis ont perdu leur superbe. Il va falloir se séparer. D'autant que Tanis, leur étoile du berger, a rencontré un ennemi, le plus redoutable de tous : l'amour ! Pour reprendre le flambeau, devra-t-il renoncer à sa flamme ?

EN CES TEMPS TENEBREUX, COMPAGNONS D'AVENTURE, IL RESTE UN SEUL ESPOIR : TROUVONS LA LANCEDRAGON ! Les dragons vont-ils rayer Krynn de la carte ? D'urgence, une poignée de braves se réunissent sous le commandement de Tanis le demi-elfe : Caramon le guerrier, Raistlin le sorcier - son frère jumeau - , Sturm le chevalier, Flint Forgefeu le nain, Tass Racle-Pieds le kender : des noms qui resteront dans la mémoire ! Leur mission ? Ramener aux hommes le secret de l'antique Lancedragon, la seule arme capable de terrasser les monstres cracheurs de feu. Pour que s'épanouissent tous les êtres de bonne volonté.

Les nobles Compagnons, fatigués de la gloire, / Ont depuis Très longtemps mis l'épée au fourreau. / Mais Takhisis revient et partout les hérauts / Du sang et de la mort annoncent la victoire. / Pour la survie de Krynn, il faut que la relève / Soit fidèle au passé et fière de ses rêves. Les enfants des Compagnons ont repris le flambeau de leurs aînés et luttent à leur place sur les champs de bataille. Mais en ces temps troublés, tous ne défilent pas sous la même bannière. Terrifiée de voir le fils de Caramon Majere se dresser contre celui de Sturm de Lumlane, la vieille garde, résolue à sauver la légende, se prépare à un ultime combat. De tous ce sera le plus titanesque... et le plus déchirant !
