Under Heaven is an innovative novel by the award-winning author Guy Gavriel Kay, which evokes the dazzling Tang Dynasty of 8th-century China in a story of honor and power.
It begins simply. Shen Tai, son of an illustrious general serving the Emperor of Kitai, has spent two years honoring the memory of his late father by burying the bones of the dead from both armies at the site of one of his father's last great battles. In recognition of his labors and his filial piety, an unlikely source has sent him a dangerous gift: 250 Sardian horses.
You give a man one of the famed Sardian horses to reward him greatly. You give him four or five to exalt him above his fellows, propel him towards rank, and earn him jealousy, possibly mortal jealousy. Two hundred and fifty is an unthinkable gift, a gift to overwhelm an emperor. Wisely, the gift comes with the stipulation that Tai must claim the horses in person. Otherwise, he would probably be dead already...
The Fade introduces readers to a subterranean world of vast caverns, underground seas, and crystalline forests. It is a civilization born of darkness, in darkness, protected by shadows. This is a city of merchants, whose eyes have turned upward to the surface, where the lethal light of day beats down on their world.
A conspiracy so vast that it will swallow them all unfolds in this stunningly original fantasy from multi-award winning author Chris Wooding. With a beautiful baroque world, sharp characterization, and Wooding's trademark insight into the fantasy genre, the dawning of Halflight is an event more than worth waiting for.
Annika has never had a birthday. Instead, she celebrates her Found Day, the day a housemaid and a cook to three eccentric Viennese professors found her and took her home. There, Annika has made a happy life in the servants' quarters, surrounded with friends, including the elderly woman next door who regales Annika with stories of her performing days and her countless admirers – especially the Russian count who gave her the legendary emerald, the Star of Kazan.
And yet, Annika still dreams of finding her true mother. But when a glamorous stranger arrives claiming to be Annika's mother and whisks her away to a crumbling, spooky castle, Annika discovers that all is not as it seems in her newfound home...
Set in the bleak Fen Country of East Anglia, and spanning some 240 years in the lives of its haunted narrator and his ancestors, Waterland is a book that takes in eels and incest, ale-making and madness, the heartless sweep of history, and a family romance as tormented as any in Greek tragedy.
Waterland, like the Hardy novels, carries with all else a profound knowledge of a people, a place, and their interweaving. Swift tells his tale with wonderful contemporary verve and verbal felicity. A fine and original work.
Ruin wakes up on Earth knowing only one thing: to Judge and Execute.
As an Angel of Judgment with no memory of his origins and no ability to communicate, he seeks help from Isadore, the first human he comes into contact with. Without realizing, he binds molecularly with the OCD Neuroscientist, and slowly becomes permanently attached to her.
But, there is a mission he's sent to accomplish and it isn't about Isadore. Or is it? Something about the eccentric and beautiful woman seems to be preventing him from remembering what he must do in order to complete his task on Earth.
In the breathtaking third book of the Ruin Series, The Judgment, Ruin tackles missions designed to bring him face to face with the answers he desperately needs. Soon, however, he discovers that the clues he gains to unravel the mysteries of his mission will declare war on his heart and soul.
