Appartient à la sérieDarkwar Trilogy (2)
The world grows colder with each passing year, the longer winters and ever-deepening snows awaking ancient fears within the Dengan Packstead, fears of invasion by armed and desperate nomads, attack by the witchlike and mysterious Silth, able to kill with their minds alone, and of the Grauken, that desperate time when intellect gives way to buried cannibalistic instinct, when meth feeds upon meth. For Marika, a young pup of the Packstead, loyal to pack and family, times are dark indeed, for against these foes, the Packstead cannot prevail. But awakening within Marika is a power unmatched in all the world, a legendary power that may not just save her world, but allow her to grasp the stars themselves. From Glen Cook, author of the Black Company and Dread Empire novels. The second book in the Darkwar series. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

This book follows the talented and ambitious Marika as she rises within the Reugge sisterhood of Silth. As she discovers more about her world, it becomes clear that there is a brewing conflict between the male “brotherhoods” who are rapidly developing industrial technology, and the sterile sisterhoods of Silth, who use their mental powers for everything from communications to transportation – even space travel. The more Marika learns, the more she sees within her grasp, as she lies, kills, manipulates her mentor, and does whatever she needs to, to advance herself, as destruction seems to follow in her wake.
Cook creates an interesting situation here, but the book is nearly wholly focused on Marika – who is a completely amoral, unsympathetic and rather unlikable character, devoid of any loyalty or compassion – which makes it a little hard to root for her! (
