Holly Lisle

    1. október 1960 – 27. august 2024

    Holly Lisleová sa profesionálne venuje písaniu beletrie od roku 1991. Jej tvorba, ovplyvnená detstvom plným cestovania po cudzích krajinách a exotických krajinách, sa vyznačuje silnými príbehmi a nezabudnuteľnými postavami. Lisleová si kladie za cieľ písať tak, aby jej diela boli prinajmenšom rovnako pôsobivé ako jej vlastná skúsenosť z detstva, keď ju s otcom na túre po Aljaške sledoval medveď grizzly. Táto životná lekcia formovala jej prístup k písaniu, kde kladie dôraz na pametihodnosť a hĺbku príbehu, ktorý musí čitateľa zaujať a nepustiť. Vďaka svojmu jedinečnému pohľadu a pútavému štýlu si Lisleová získala svoje miesto v literárnom svete.

      Kait Galweigh, her Sabir lover Ry and his cousin Ian have captured the Mirror of Souls, an artefact that can confer immortality, but only at huge cost to the innocents whose souls are used to feed it. But while Kait and her friends are battling the ages-old evil of the Mirror, her cousin Danya, raped and Scarred, is being groomed for godhead, gathering together a mighty army of the Scarred, ready to invade and conquer the Rich Lands. COURAGE OF FALCONS, like the first two books in the sequence, is a masterful fantasy with well-realised characters, a cracking plot and a villain who exudes evil from every pore.
