Mareas de Media Noche / Midnight Tides
Omtale
Mareas de Medianoche es el quinto volumen de la saga «Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos», la decalogía originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011 que ha convertido al escritor canadiense Steven Erikson en una de las mayores voces de la fantasía épica contemporánea. Desde entonces, esta obra maestra de la imaginación está considerada una de las series más ambiciosas del género de los últimos años. Después de décadas de guerras intestinas, las tribus de los Tiste Edur al fin se han unido bajo el mando del Rey Warlock. Hay paz, pero el precio ha sido terrible: un pacto hecho con un poder oculto cuyos motivos son, en el mejor de los casos, sospechosos, y, en el peor, mortales. Al sur, el rapaz reino de Lether, impaciente por ver cumplido el papel que profetizaron para él largo tiempo atrás como imperio renacido, ha esclavizado a sus vecinos menos civilizados. Es decir, a todos salvo a los Tiste Edur. El destino ha decretado que también ellos han de caer. Y, sin embargo, la lucha inminente que librarán estos dos pueblos no es más que un pálido reflejo de un conflicto más primitivo. Se están reuniendo antiguas fuerzas y con ellas la herida todavía abierta de una vieja traición y un ansia de venganza...
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION After decades of internecine warfare, the tribes of the Tiste Edur have at last united under the Warlock King of the Hiroth. There is peace--but it has been exacted at a terrible price: a pact made with a hidden power whose motives are at best suspect, at worst, deadly. To the south, the expansionist kingdom of Lether, eager to fulfill its long-prophesized enaissance as an Empire reborn, has enslved all its less-civilized neighbors with rapacious hunger. All, that is, save one--the Tiste Edur. And it must be only a matter of time before they too fall--either beneath the suffocating weight of gold, or by slaughter at the edge of a sword. Or so destiny has decreed. Yet as the two sides gather for a pivotal treaty neither truly wants, ancient forces are awakening. For the impending struggle between these two peoples is but a pale reflection of a far more profound, primal battle--a confrontation with the still-raw wound of an old betrayal and the craving for revenge at its seething heart.
