    • 20 heures de lecture

    Inquisitor Glokta, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire, is trapped in a twisted and broken body - not that he allows it to distract him from his daily routine of torturing smugglers. Nobleman, dashing officer and would-be fencing champion Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease by cheating his friends at cards. Vain, shallow, selfish and self-obsessed, the biggest blot on his horizon is having to get out of bed in the morning to train with obsessive and boring old men. And Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior with a bloody past, is about to wake up in a hole in the snow with plans to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen, once and for all - ideally by running away from it. But as he's discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed . . . . . . especially when Bayaz gets involved. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Glotka, Jezal and Logen a whole lot more difficult . . .

  2. Déraison et sentiments

    Le tocsin de la guerre résonne aux portes de l'Union. L'armée du monde libre, inexpérimentée, semble inconsciente du danger qui la guette. Face à elle, sur le front du Nord, les barbares de Bethod se chauffent d'un tout autre bois... Au sud, les forces du Gorkhul se massent au pied de la cité de Dagoska. Alors que la ville bouillonne des préparatifs de la bataille, Glotka découvre une conspiration visant à livrer la ville à l'ennemi sans combat. Menacé à chaque instant, l'Inquisiteur a besoin de réponses, et vite. Pendant ce temps, la poignée de héros réunie par Bayaz progresse vers le bord du Monde. Le Mage espère y trouver la Graine, une relique jadis responsable de la destruction d'un empire et, peut-être aujourd'hui, l'unique voie de salut pour l'Union...

    They burned her home. They stole her brother and sister. But vengeance is following. Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she’ll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she’s not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old step father Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb’s buried a bloody past of his own. And out in the lawless Far Country, the past never stays buried. Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. Even worse it will force them into alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer, Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust... The past never stays buried...
