Viele Jahrhunderte lang haben die Magier von Arta – einer Zivilisation aus einer parallelen Welt – die Erde geplündert, Ideen, Technologien und Innovationen gestohlen, Ereignisse manipuliert und verheerende Katastrophen provoziert. Nichts Persönliches – nur akademisches Interesse und die Meinung, dass man besser aus den Fehlern anderer lernt. Doch nun steht das bloße Dasein der Erde auf dem Spiel, und nur der Zirkel – eine geheime Gesellschaft von Hexen und Zauberern, die sich dem Kampf für die Interessen der Menschheit verschrieben hat – kann dem entgegenwirken. Sie beabsichtigen, gegen die orthodoxe, heuchlerische und konservative Zivilisation von Arta mit psychologischen Manipulationen, dem Spiel mit inneren Konflikten und… dem, was die Menschen Liebe nennen, zu kämpfen.

3. und abschließender Band der Bran Mak Morn Reihe

All over the multiverse the Magids, powerful magicians, are at work to maintain the balance between positive and negative magic, for the good of all. Rupert Venables is the junior Magid assigned to Earth and to the troublesome planets of the Koyrfonic Empire. When the Emperor dies without a known heir, Rupert is called into service to help prevent the descent of the Empire into chaos. At the same time, the senior Magid on Earth dies, making Rupert a new senior desperately in need of a junior. Rupert thinks his problems are partially solved when he discovers he can meet all five of the potential Magids on Earth by attending one SF convention in England. However, the convention hotel sits on a node, a nexus of the universes. Rupert soon finds that other forces, some of them completely out of control, are there too....

In a world next door to ours, the tourist industry is devastating the population by its desire to experience all the fantasy cliches - Dark Lords, impoverished villages, dragons etc. The Head of the University resolves to shut the tours down, the only problem being the ruthless tour-master - and his all-powerful demons.

As the witch-pyres of the Spanish Inquisition blanket Renaissance Europe in a moral haze, a young African slave is unwillingly apprenticed to an ancient necromancer. Her tormentor has bound her with a curse forged from blood and spirit. But salvation could lie in arcane writings her tutor has hidden on the war-torn continent . . . Jesse Bullington casts his own macabre spell over the late middle ages in a work that becomes compulsive, amusing and horrifying in quick succession. Praise for Jesse Bullington's previous work includes: * 'Darkly funny, profane, erudite, bawdy, and wickedly original' Jeff VanderMeer * 'As the antithesis of conventional fantasy, this is a tour de force' Telegraph * 'A quite extraordinary piece ... one of the books of the year' SFRevu.com * 'Raucous, lewd, and grisly' Esquire
