Now all the varied resources of the domains of the Gods are marshalled to bring a halt to the spread of evil. But there is pestilence and skirmishing, and suddenly the balance of power shifts. The Ruler of the Wasteland has infiltrated another domain of the Gods, the land of short summers, where bison and deer roam. There the strange and marvellous crystal gorge, which can be no natural formation of rock, is destined to become a battleground of great beauty and great terror.

1. kniha série Snící. Ostrovnímu světu Dhrall vládne osm bohů. Zatímco čtyři bohové bdí, zbylí čtyři spí a nabírají síly – po 25 tisících let se Snící vzbudí a vystřídají své unavené druhy. Tehdy jsou však nejzranitelnější. V Pustinách se shromažďují hordy stvůr, chystající se zaplavit svět. Je třeba vybudovat armádu, která by se jim dokázala postavit, a času je tak zoufale málo. Jsou tu ale čtyři děti, které ve svých snech vidí obrazy budoucí zkázy. A možná ji dokáží i přivolat… Překlad Adéla Bartlová.

A brilliant fantasy epic set in a world extraordinary danger and magic from bestselling authors David and Leigh Eddings. They are called the Dreamers. They look like sleeping children. They are, in fact, Gods. Despite the literally earth-shattering climax of The Elder Gods, Dahlaine still does not regret having brought the Dreamers into the world of the Elder Gods. He only wishes he'd thought harder about the consequences. His sister Aracia fears the whole world will collapse in on itself if the Dreamers should all wake up and realize where they are. It's bad enough with them dreaming the future, but at least it's a future. Dahlain is pretty sure he's safe from an 'I-told-you-so' from Aracia. The Dreamers give the Elder Gods a chance in the battle against the vicious Ruler of the Wasteland. Then spies of very short stature start cropping up in Veltan's bucolic and peaceful domain.They look like people, or maybe they all look like the same person, but they are more sinister than that. Fortunately, Dahlaine is soon on the scene riding his thunderbolt. This second story of the sibling Gods is the story of the first God Dahlaine and his child Yaltar, who is so dangerous when asleep. And it is the story of the Treasured One, a mysterious presence who is controlling Yaltar's dreams!

If Garion and his companions cannot reach the Place Which Is No More, as the Seeress of Kell has warned, then Zandramas will use Garion’s son in a rite that will raise the Dark Prophecy to eternal dominion over the universe. Only the Seeress of Kell can reveal the mysterious locale, but first Garion and Polgara must fulfill an ancient prophecy in the mountain fastness of the Seers. Although Kell is closed to Zandramas, her dark magic can forcefully extract the intelligence she needs from one of Garion’s party. Setting traps and dispatching her foul minions, she is determined to claim the world for the Dark Prophecy. But Garion will let nothing stand between himself and his son. . . .

Het zit de meesterdief Althalus niet mee. Normaal gesproken heeft hij al het geluk van de wereld, maar nu lopen zijn zorgvuldig voorbereide diefstallen in het honderd, zijn de meeste slachtoffers armer dan hijzelf en blijken de ordehandhavers alerter en hardnekkiger dan anders. De simpele opdracht om een boek uit een oude toren te stelen lijkt dan ook een kans uit duizenden. Maar Althalus vergeet te vragen wat voor soort boek het precies is en wij het bewaakt...

3. kniha série Althalus. Série Althalus od mistra moderní fantasy Davida Eddingse, odehrávající se v novém, úžasném světě. Smaragd se s Althalovou pomocí se pokouší zabránit Daevovi v jeho snaze vrátit vše k prvotnímu chaosu. Althalus ji naučí všemu, co potřebuje znát, tedy jak lhát, podvádět a krást. Smaragd si je totiž jistá, že „účel světí prostředky“. Co je však překvapivější – ona Althala na oplátku naučí něčemu pro něho dosud nemyslitelnému – pravdě, spravedlnosti a morálce.

Het lot van de wereld rust op de schouders van de meesterdief Althalus. Bijgestaan door een sprekende kat, een verwende prinses, een barbaarse krijger en een bedeljongen moet Althalus voorkomen dat de kwade god Deave en zijn handlangers de wereld vernietigen. En mocht er zich in de wirwar van intriges, veldslagen, ingenieuze diefstallen en magische tijdreizen ook nog een kans voordoen om een fortuin te vergaren, dan is dat mooi meegenomen.

Althalus is a thief and a scoundrel. Dweia is a Goddess, beautiful and powerful. Together they must go on a journey to a destination where friendship, courage and love will ultimately triumph over evil.

Aldur draagt Belgareth op een van zijn twee dochters uit te huwelijken aan de koning van Riva, omdat uit deze verbintenis het Kind van het Licht geboren zal worden, dat hen de Orbus tegen Torak zal beschermen. Belgareth, wetend dat Riva dromen heeft waarin zijn mooiste jongste dochter Beldaran verschijnt, hoeft niet lang te aarzelen wie van zijn dochters de bruid zal worden. Maar de Orbus is niet tevreden over Belgareth's keuze en had liever diens humeurige en lastige, maar uiterst scherpzinnige oudste dochter Polgara als de toekomstige koningin van Riva gezien. Wanneer het huwelijk toch wordt gesloten, zijn de gevolgen voor geen van de betrokkenen te overzien...

Begins a new David Eddings trilogy, set a few years after the events of The Elenium... At the conclusion of The Elenium the company of Pandion Knights led by Sir Sparhawk, having freed Queen Ehlana of Elenia from the spell that threatened her life, had marched on Zemoch, routed their enemies and defeated or destroyed the evil god Azash. Sparhawk returned to Elenia, where he and Ehlana were married. But their peaceful reign is destined not to last long. A few years later, in the Tamul Empire far to the east, unrest is brewing which threatens the nation's stability. Investigations show that the trouble is clearly of paranormal origin, and suspicion at first falls upon the Styrics. These suspicions prove unfounded, and indeed it is the pre-eminent Styric magician Zalasta who suggests that the Empire look westwards for assistance in solving their problems... specifically, to the legendary warrior Sparhawk.

David Eddings returns to The Elenium, the splendid fantasy series that began with the thrilling novels Diamond Throne and Ruby Knight. Finally the knight Sparhawk had come to possess Bhelliom, legendary jewel of magic that alone could save Queen Ehlana from the deadly poison that had felled her father. Sparhawk and Sephrenia, ageless instructor in Styric magics, made haste to free Ehlana from the crystalline cocoon that had preserved her life while they desperately sought a cure. But Bhellion carried dangers of its own. Once the stone came into his hands, Sparhawk found himself stalked by a dark, lurking menace. Whether the foul Zemoch God Azash was behind this threat, or some other enemy, even Sephrenia could not say—only that the sapphire rose held powers too dangerous for any mortal to bear. Restoring Queen Ehlana would be only the beginning of Sparhawk’s mission. With the aid of four stalwart knights, one from each Militant Order, he must thwart Ehlana’s prisoner, the Primate Annias, in his plot to assume the throne of the Church. For as Archprelate, Annias would serve his secret master, Azash, and deliver up to the dread God the one thing Azash thirsted for—Bhelliom itself!
