Описание: Pioneers and patriots, the Henderson family left behind a legacy of historical treasures in word and deed allowing an unprecedented look into the past. Their Victorian-era plantation home constructed in the 1800s, and listed on the National Registry of Historic Places, is a living monument to those who walked its halls in an unbroken chain of five generations. Family patriarch Alexander Henderson arrived in Virginia in the 1700s earning the title of Father of the American Chain Store, counting among his friends founding fathers George Washington and George Mason. He sent three of his sons to what was then the wilds of the Mid-Ohio Valley. The Hendersons took part in what may be the only duel recorded north of the Ohio River, played a role in thwarting the treasonous exploits of Aaron Burr and family members served on both sides during the Civil War, surviving turmoil, treachery and tragedy.

Описание:
The oldest person in the Dragaeran Empire. A military genius and master of sorcery whose story stretches back to before the dawn of history. Now, after a long absence, the undead Sethra Lavode, the Enchantress of Dzur Mountain, has reentered the Empire's affairs. And the affairs of Khaavren and Pel, Tazendra and Aerich, and all their descendants, colleagues, and friends. For since Adron's Disaster, when Dragaera City was turned instantly into a sea of amorphia, the Empire has been in ruins. Trade has declined, brigands rule the roads, plagues sweep through the population. Now an ambitious Dragonlord means to rebuild the Empire in his own name. But unknown to him, the true heir, the Phoenix Zerika, has already retrieved the Imperial Orb from the Paths of the Dead. Sethra Lavode means to see Zerika on the throne. To do so will entail a climactic battle of sorcery and arms, told with all the swashbuckling flair for which Steven Brust is known. "Sethra Lavode" is the sequel to "The Paths of the Dead" and "The Lord of Castle Black," and the culmination of the bestselling epic The Viscount of Adrilankha, which begun with "The Phoenix Guards."

It's an old-fashioned adventure--moving at a twenty-first-century pace. The Interregnum is over. To everyone's astonishment, Zerika, a very young Phoenix, has coolly emerged from the Paths of the Dead, carrying with her the Orb, which everyone had thought was lost in Adron's Disaster. The Orb is the heart of the Dragaeran Empire, the source of all its magic--and the infallible sign that Zerika is the new Empress. But not everyone is happy to hear the news. It's been 250 years since Adron's Disaster, and power vacuums never stay vacuums for long....

Описание: Vlad Taltos, short-statured, short-lived human in an Empire of tall, long-lived Dragaerans, has always had to keep his wits about him. Long ago, he made a
place for himself as a captain of the Jhereg, the noble house that runs the rackets in the great imperial city of Adrilankha. But love, revolution, betrayal, and revenge ensued, and for
years now Vlad has been a man on the run, struggling to stay a step ahead of the Jhereg who would kill him without hesitation.
Now Vlad's back in Adrilankha. The rackets
he used to run are now under the control of the mysterious "Left Hand of the Jhereg" -a secretive cabal of women who report to no man. His ex-wife needs his help.
His old
enemies aren't sure whether they want to kill him, or talk to him and then kill him. A goddess may be playing tricks with his memory. And the Great Weapon he's carrying seems to have
plans of its own.
Picking up directly where "Issola" left off, "Dzuris" is Vlad Taltos at his best-crackling, swashbuckling adventure fantasy with edge.

Описание: The Book of Jhereg and The Book of Taltos collected the first five novels of Steven Brust's highly imaginative fantasy series that Locus praised as "entertaining and worth reading." The Book of Athyra features books six and seven in the series--Athyra and Orca.
Vlad Taltos is a sorcerer and assassin without peer--as deadly at spell casting as he is with sword wielding. Accompanying him on his journeys are two leathery-winged jhereg who share a telepathic link with Vlad--and triple his chances against even the most powerful of enemies...
In Athyra, Vlad finds he's ready to retire himself and his jhereg companions, but the biggest hitters of the House of the Jhereg have something else in mind. In Orca, Vlad must repay a debt to a boy who saved his life--even if it means breaking a financial scandal big enough to bring down the House of the Orca, and possibly the entire Empire...

Описание:
Back in print after a decade, "Brokedown Palace" is a stand-alone fantasy in the world of Steven Brust's bestselling Vlad Taltos novels.
Once upon a time far to the East of the Dragaeran Empire, four brothers ruled in Fenario:
King Laszlo, a good man though perhaps a little mad; Prince Andor, a clever man though perhaps a little shallow; Prince Vilmos, a strong man though perhaps a little stupid; and Prince Miklos, the youngest brother, perhaps a little no, a lot-stubborn.
Once upon a time there were four brothers and a goddess, a wizard, an enigmatic talking stallion, a very hungry dragon and a crumbling, broken-down palace with hungry jhereg circling overhead. And then "

Описание: The long-awaited sequel to" The Phoenix Guards "and "Five Hundred Years After" Two hundred years after Adron’s Disaster, in which Dragaera City was accidentally reduced to an ocean of chaos by an experiment in wizardry gone wrong, the Empire isn’t what it used to be. Deprived at a single blow of their Emperor, of the Orb that is the focus of the Empire’s power, of their capital city with its Impe-rial bureaucracy, and of a great many of their late fellow citizens, the surviving Dragaerans have been limping through a long Interregnum, bereft even of the simple magic and sorcery they were accustomed to use in everyday life. Now the descendants and successors of the great ad-venturers Khaavren, Pel, Aerich, and Tazendra are growing up in this seemingly diminished world, con-vinced, like their elders, that the age of adventures is over and nothing interesting will ever happen to them. They are, of course, wrong . . . . For even deprived of magic, Dragaerans fight, plot, and conspire as they breathe, and so do their still-powerful gods. The enemies of the Empire prowl at its edges, in-scrutable doings are up at Dzur Mountain...and, unex-pectedly, a surviving Phoenix Heir, young Zerika, is discovered—setting off a chain of swashbuckling events that will remake the world yet again.
