Путь королей
Брендон Сандерсон 4.7
Масштабная сага погружает читателя в удивительный мир, не уступающий мирам Р. Р. Толкиена, Р. Джордана и Р. Сальваторе. Уникальная флора и фауна, тщательно продуманное политическое устройство и богатая духовная культура – здесь нет ничего случайного. Рошар — мир во власти великих бурь, сметающих все живое на своем пути. Но есть и то, что страшнее любой великой бури, – это истинное опустошение. Одно лишь его ожидание меняет судьбы целых народов. Сумеют ли люди сплотиться перед лицом страшной угрозы? Найдется ли тот, для кого древняя клятва — жизнь прежде смерти, сила прежде слабости, путь прежде цели — станет чем-то большим, нежели просто слова?

Welcome to Paris, in 1633, where dragons menace the realm. Cardinal Richelieu, the most powerful and most feared man in France, is on his guard. He knows France is under threat, and that a secret society known as the Black Claw is conspiring against him from the heart of the greatest courts in Europe. They will strike from the shadows, and when they do the blow will be both terrible and deadly. To counter the threat, Richelieu has put his most trusted men into play: the Cardinal's Blades, led by Captain la Fargue. Six men and a woman, all of exceptional abilities and all ready to risk their lives on his command. They have saved France before, and the Cardinal is relying on them to do it again. So when la Fargue hears from a beautiful, infamous, deadly Italian spy claiming to have valuable information, he has to listen ...and when La Donna demands Cardinal Richelieu's protection before she will talk, la Fargue is even prepared to consider it. Because La Donna can name their enemy. It's a man as elusive as he is manipulative, as subtle as Richelieu himself, an exceptionally dangerous adversary: the Alchemist in the shadows ...

Копьё пустыни
Питер В. Бретт 4.3

Шорт-лист

Демоны тьмы, с которыми сражаются герои, — не простая нечисть. Это лишь верхушка айсберга – хищные, но безмозглые слуги гораздо более опасных, наделенных изощренным разумом существ, которые образуют костяк древней подземной цивилизации. Справиться с ними под силу лишь Избавителю, второго пришествия которого ждет людской род.
Но кто он, легендарный спаситель? Арлен Тюк, Меченый, отчасти сам превратившийся в демона и приобретший сверхчеловеческие способности? Или его некогда верный друг, а ныне заклятый враг Ахман Джардир, правитель жаркой Красии, вероломно похитивший у него чудесное копье Каджи?
Приближается Дневная война, но только не с демонами, а между людьми – за право объединить человечество и повести его на решающий бой с силами Недр. И на этой войне каждому предстоит сделать свой выбор.

Крадущийся в тени
Алексей Пехов 4.5

Шорт-лист

Вор и герой — понятия несовместимые? Как бы не так! Когда приходится делать нелегкий выбор между топором палача и Заказом на небольшую прогулку в мрачные могильники эльфийских лесов, трезвомыслящие люди выбирают топор палача, а герои, такие, как Гаррет, решают бросить кости и, надеясь, что выпадут шестерки, рискнуть. Ведь всего-то надо пробраться в заброшенную башню Ордена, надуть парочку злобных демонов, избавиться от наемных убийц, подставить воровскую гильдию, выйти из десятка кровавых стычек... ну и доехать до этих тьмой проклятых могильников вместе с небольшим отрядом отчаянных королевских рубак. Стоит ли говорить, что такой Заказ просто невозможно выполнить?

Чарослов
Блейк Чарлтон 3.8

Шорт-лист

Далеко на Юге раскинулись башни Звездной крепости, где обучают самых могущественных магов на земле – чарословов, способных ткать в своем теле руны-слова, превращающиеся во что угодно: в меч, в дом, в призрак.Согласно одному из древних пророчеств, юному магу суждено стать спасителем человечества, Зимородком, согласно другому – зловещим Буревестником, предателем на службе демонов. Сирота Никодимус Марка внезапно оказывается в эпицетре смертельно опасных интриг, где каждому от него что-то нужно: магам, прибывшим из Триллинора, загадочной друидке и бесформенному существу, которое, кажется, вовсе не принадлежит к миру живых. Так неужели он – легендарный Зимородок? Или – хуже того, Буревестник?

An action-packed adventure set against a background of warring civilisations competing for ever scarcer resources ... a beautiful new epic fantasy of a world set in a tree. the World tree rises up out of the seething clouds like a green mountain. All creation nestles in its green branches. there is no world besides this one ... or so the people believe. tymon grows up at Argos seminary in the lush heart of the Central Canopy, where science is a heretical pursuit and travel beyond the tree is banned. But he yearns to break free of these rules and discover new horizons. When he meets a despised Nurian slave in the city baths, his dreams of freedom take on a completely different meaning. Banished to a drought-ridden colony, tymon falls in with a group of Nurian rebels and finds himself facing difficult choices. Fighting for freedom and power is not so enticing when it may mean betraying his own people and severing all ties to the world he knows ...

Обложка - Olof Erla Einarsdottir (illustration)

“She almost missed the sight of a naked youth falling out of the sky. He was long and lean and muscled … He was also completely off his face.”

A war is being fought in the skies over the city of Aufleur. No one sees the battles. No one knows how close they come to destruction every time the sun sets.

During daylight, all is well, but when nox falls and the sky turns bright, someone has to step up and lead the Creature Court into battle.

Twelve years ago, Garnet kissed Velody and stole her magic. Five years ago, he betrayed Ashiol, and took his powers by force. But now the Creature Court is at a crossroads … they need a Power and Majesty who won’t give up or lose themselves in madness …
