King of the Witches
9.99 €
From the fantasy superstar and author of The Killerbot Diaries, a wonderful new story about strength and friendship, trust and betrayal, and the families we choose.
When the Witch King and Prince of the Fourth House of the Underworld, Kaisteron (or just Kai for powerful friends and unusual relatives), wakes up to find himself a prisoner in a magical trap, the first question he has is: how did he get into it in the first place? Upon learning that the trap also imprisons the witch Zide, his closest ally, Kai makes a spectacular escape not only from his restraints, but also from his body. This isn't the first time he's pulled such a stunt. We learn about it through a cleverly woven narrative that combines the history of the past with the exciting events of the present. Kai's adversaries include magic-wielding interpreters, terrifying monsters, arrogant araiki warriors, conniving politicians, and unimaginably powerful alien wizards bent on world domination. Confused, Kai finds himself at war with both his demonic nature and his enemies. He will have to rely on old allies and newly acquired friends to unravel all of his enemy's secrets. As the conspiracy at the highest levels of the Nascent World, the empire that Kai once helped create, is gradually uncovered, there are more questions than answers and the danger grows immensely. "The Witch King" is a new novel by Martha Wells. For the first time in over a decade, she has returned to the fantasy genre that once made her one of the most important writers of a generation. Martha Wells' trademark ability as an author is to create endearing characters that make us love ourselves and with whom we identify, taking them on thrilling adventures.
