Opposites attack! When the Magelord Minalan the Spellmonger’s two apprentices, Tyndal and Rondal, were knighted after the battle of Timberwatch, they were dubbed Knights Magi: A new class of nobility for distinguished High Magi. Designed to combine the pursuit of arcane knowledge with the noble aspirations of chivalry, it elevated them above common warmage...in theory. The problem was they had no idea how to be a Knight Mage...because no one had ever been one before.

Just when Baron Minalan the Spellmonger figured out there was a slim chance to restore his mind-shattered wife Alya (if he's willing to journey to the undercaverns of Olum Seheri, the lair of Korbal the Necromancer), things start to go awry: not only does Prince Tavard, his unloved liege lord, decide to conduct an official state visit to Sevendor on pilgrimage to the Everfire on the Briga's feast day, but a mysterious seamage appears at his door with an intriguing offer from the Sea Folk who rule Callidore: They want to buy snowstone. An entire mountain of it.

He is forced to fight as a gladiator for the entertainment of his hated Imperial enemies. Five years of this humiliating captivity, and he has almost completed his sentence. Just three more days and he is free. However, here in this wretched Imperial City, he has come to love one thing: the desertland concubine, Bellabel. He must find a way to win her freedom.

When Tyndal and Rondal, journeymen wizards and knights errant, travel to southern Alshar to rescue a helpless boy and his mother, it sets in motion a series of events that will shake the foundations of the Five Duchies! While they are beginning their quest against the vast criminal gang known as the Brotherhood of the Rat, the two knights encounter the Cats of Enultramar, a family of shadowmagi and high-class thieves who help them discover a plot to attack the rich lands and prosperous people of Alshar, from the Wilderlands to the Great Bay...and only Rondal and Tyndal can stop them.

When Minalan the Spellmonger was exiled from his beloved mageland of Sevendor by Prince Tavard, his friend Duke Anguin made him Count Palatine of the Magelaw, a vast realm in the Alshari Wilderlands that Minalan is all too familiar with. After the goblin invasion, the province is devastated, ruined, and peopled almost only by freed slaves. But Minalan has brought his recovering wife and family into exile with him, and he views their impoverished fief as an opportunity to build a new City of Magi in the wilderness.

With the south in full rebellion, the goblins stirring on the northern frontier, and the summer capital being run by a corrupt baron and a gang of thugs, things could be better. But those aren’t the worst of her problems: Pentandra is learning how to live with her new husband, Arborn, while the town is driven to distraction by an incarnate sex goddess who is organizing all of the whores, a mopey spellmonger, a nun addicted to gambling, a prude sent by the queen, undead skulking through the shadows, and a mysterious blind girl shows up in her office claiming to be her new apprentice.

Remarin is a thief. He was hired to steal a gem. No big deal, right? Yeah, right. He stole the gem, then everything went sideways, and now he's running for his life across rooftops, through sewers, and all over the godsforsaken world trying not to get dead. And who is this kid, Kit, anyway?

What does the most powerful wizard in the world do after the war? Despite the hordes of goblins still ready to ravage human lands, King Rard has signed a treaty with them, so Minalan is forbidden from taking advantage of their weak state. Most would take a well-deserved rest over the summer…but Minalan and his household are busy repaying a favor owed to the tribal Kasari for their help in the war, and the Spellmonger pays his debts.

Hugues d'Emblin est persuadé d'être le pire de tous les élèves à jamais avoir étudié à l'académie magique de Fort-Céleste. Il est pratiquement incapable de lancer des sorts et, lorsqu'il y arrive, ses tentatives se soldent généralement par des échecs explosifs. Comme si cela ne suffisait pas, il subit aussi les humiliations du meilleur élève de sa promotion, qui n'est autre que le neveu d'un roi. Hugues n'a aucun talent, pas d'amis, et ne s'attend surtout pas à ce quiconque puisse vouloir le prendre comme apprenti lors de la cérémonie de l'Initiation, dont la date approche à grands pas.

Après avoir survécu aux périls du Labyrinthe de Fort-Céleste, Hugues et ses amis se préparent à passer un été haut en couleurs. Alustin, leur mentor, a affrété une nef des sables en vue d'une excursion pédagogique dans l'immense mer de dunes connue sous le nom d'Erg Sans-fin, à destination de la riche et puissante cité de Théras-Tel, au cœur du désert. Hugues n'a pas été aussi heureux depuis des années et se réjouit à l'idée de profiter du grand air, du soleil et d'un peu de calme.

Drem e i suoi amici, ancora perseguitati dal ricordo degli orrori di cui sono stati testimoni durante la battaglia del lago Pietrastella, dalle urla di uomini trasformati in bestie alla vista di un demone che risorgeva dalla morte, sono in fuga per avvertire l’ordine dell’Astro splendente. Fritha, la spietata somma sacerdotessa dei demoni è però più letale di qualsiasi ricordo, e sta dando loro la caccia. Nascosta nella Foresta di Forn, Riv sa che in quanto mezzosangue la sua stessa esistenza costituisce una minaccia per i Ben-Elim.

Hugh aus Emblin ist, wie er selbst felsenfest glaubt, der schlechteste Schüler, den die Akademie von Skyhold je gesehen hat. Ihm gelingt selten ein Zauberspruch, ohne zu explodieren, und noch dazu hat er sich den Hass des gefeierten Spitzenschülers zugezogen, bei dem es sich ganz nebenbei um den Neffen eines Königs handelt. Hugh hat keine Freunde, er hat kein Talent, und er erwartet keinesfalls, dass ihn bei der kommenden Sichtungszeremonie ein Magier zu seinem Lehrling ernennen wird.
