As long ago as forever and as far away as Selidor, there lived the dragonlord and Archmage, Sparrowhawk, the greatest of the great wizards - he who, when still a youth, met with the evil shadow-beast; he who later brought back the Ring of Erreth-Akbe from the Tombs of Atuan; and he who, as an old man, rode the mighty dragon Kalessin back from the land of the dead. And then, the legends say, Sparrowhawk entered his boat, Lookfar, turned his back on land, and without wind or sail or oar moved westward over the sea and out of sight.Wizard of Earthsea, The Tombs of Atuan, The Farthest Shore - Ursula Le Guin's brilliant and magical trilogy.Cover Illustration: Jonathan Field

But as humanity builds its interstellar empire in the alien ruins, the mysteries and threats grow deeper.In the dead systems where gates lead to stranger things than alien planets, Elvi Okoye begins a desperate search to discover the nature of a genocide that happened before the first human beings existed, and to find weapons to fight a war against forces at the edge of the imaginable. But the price of that knowledge may be higher than she can pay.At the heart of the empire, Teresa Duarte prepares to take on the burden of her father's godlike ambition.

Discover the magic of Trudi Canavan with her brand new novel in the Traitor Spy Trilogy...Living among the Sachakan rebels, Lorkin does his best to learn about their unique magic. But the Traitors are reluctant to trade their secrets for the Healing they so desperately want.Meanwhile, Sonea searches for the rogue, knowing that Cery cannot avoid assassination forever --- but the rogue's influence over the city's underworld, however, is far greater than she feared.And in the University, two female novices are about to remind the Guild that sometimes their greatest enemy is found within...

Sonea, once the despised commoner in the Magicians' Guild, is now a Black Magician of Kyralia. Though she is now part of the establishment, she comes to find that the past is not so easily left behind... Lorkin, Sonea's rebellious son, has volunteered to join the formidable Lord Dannyl in his new post as Guild Ambassador to Sachaka - a land ruled by cruel, slave-owning black magicians. There is suspicion that some of the Sachakans still harbor dreams of conquest, so when word comes that Lorkin has gone missing, Sonea is desperate to find him. However, Guild law states that if a Black Magician leaves the city he or she will be exiled forever. As she fears for her missing son, Sonea dedicates herself to helping her old friend Cery. For some time, there has been fear and paranoia on the streets of Imardin. Leading thieves have been dying under irregular circumstances. The need to discover who has been picking off the leading thieves of the city is now a very personal crusade - one that Sonea must aid, for the killer appears to be using magic. Either a member of the Guild is leading a double life as a hired killer, or there is - once again - a rogue magician on the streets of Imardin . . .

Trylogia Husycka to mistrzostwo polskiej fantastyki. Choć stwierdzenie, że jest to „tylko” fantastyka byłoby trochę nieuczciwe, nazwałbym to powieścią historyczną (1420-36) z elementami fikcji (taki historyczny magiczny realizm). Każda z części posiada niesamowity scholastyczny, średniowieczny klimat, w którym bardzo subtelnie zaimplementowane są ponadnaturalne zjawiska (wcale nie boskie). Spotykamy tam także Gutenberga (szukającego sponsorów), Mikołaja Kopernika (dość mocno bojącego się inkwizycji), rozwiązłego Mikołaja z Kuzy. Cała opowieść przeplatana jest cytatami z Augustyna, Tomasza z Akwinu i innych dzieł czytywanych w tamtych czasach z ogromną ilością sformułowań w łacinie klasycznej. Pomimo tego jednak książka nie jest bardzo wymagająca intelektualnie, co w połączeniu z wszystkimi wymienionymi przeze mnie rzeczami jest ogromnym atutem i mistrzostwem autora. Opowieść z jednej strony diabelnie zabawna (w szczególności postać cynika Szarleja i jego egzorcyzmów) z drugiej brutalna i porażająca swoją melancholią. Bohaterowie są rewelacyjnie skonstruowani: Pomurnik, Szarlej, Samson, Reinmar von Bielau. Balansowanie pomiędzy radością i swawolą a makabrycznymi zdarzeniami wraz z silnymi emocjonalnie wątkami w niej zawartymi wychodzi wręcz doskonale. Pewien klimat tego, czym jest władza kościelna wraz z całą hierarchią i rozważaniami teologicznymi, wojnami, najazdami został tutaj istotowo uchwycony. Trylogia Husycka to po prostu mistrzostwo.

Taking place hundreds of years before the events of The Magicians' Guild, The Magician's Apprentice is the new novel set in the world of Trudi Canavan's Black Magician Trilogy.In the remote village of Mandryn, Tessia serves as assistant to her father, the village Healer. Her mother would rather she found a husband.

Lord Dakon, the local magician, takes Tessia under his wing as an apprentice. The hours are long and the work arduous, but soon and exciting new world opens up to her.

For a storm is approaching that threatens to tear her world apart.

In the city of Imardin, where those who wield magic wield power, a young street-girl, adopted by the Magician's Guild, finds herself at the centre of a terrible plot that may destroy the entire world...Sonea has learned much at the magicians' guild and the other novices now treat her with a grudging respect. But she cannot forget what she witnessed in the High Lord's underground room - or his warning that the realm's ancient enemy is growing in power once more. As Sonea learns more, she begins to doubt her guildmaster's word. Could the truth really be as terrifying as Akkarin claims, or is he trying to trick her into assisting in some unspeakably dark scheme?
