Il XXI secolo è alla fine. Trent'anni sono passati da quando il pacifico Milieu Galattico ha accolto la Terra nella sua federazione e presto l'umanità sarà chiamata a far parte dell'Unità, la mente collettiva che raccoglie le razze aliene dell'universo. Ma non tutti ci credono. Un gruppo di ribelli, il cui numero cresce ogni giorno, trama per salvaguardare l'individualità della razza umana. E i ribelli hanno un sostenitore segreto: Furia, l'insana creatura metapsichica che non si ferma davanti a nulla pur di raggiungere ilsuo scopo ed esercitare il pieno controllo sull'umanità.

Tutti e tre i suoi figli sono ormai adulti, ma fra loro e il padre non regna certo la più perfetta armonia!Anzi Phastis, il primogenito - sulla cui autentica paternità esistono ancora dei dubbi, sicché si mormora che possa in realtà discendere dal seme di Anthimios - sembra essersi lasciato affascinare da un'iquietante eresia che va sempre più diffondendosi nel territorio dell'Impero: quella dei Thanasioi.Trascinati dal fanatismo del loro sinistro capo, Livanios, i seguaci della setta predicano che ogni ricchezza e ogni materialità, compreso il corpo umano, altro non sono che creazioni diaboliche di Skotos, il dio del Male e che pertanto ogni manifestazione di dovizia e ogni potere vanno combattuti...

Book ten of the celebrated Deverry series, an epic fantasy rooted in Celtic mythology that intricately interweaves human and elven history over several hundred years.

When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be… Luck in the Shadows.
