Lisa Hendrix - Immortal Brotherhood series Je viens de commencer cette série dont le 1er tome Immortal warrior est sorti en début d'année, je m'étonne de ne pas l'avoir repéré dès sa sortie car c'est bien le genre de livre (.. et de couverture, oui oui je sais on ne doit pas jugé un livre par sa couverture mais bon...) Immortal Outlaw le 2ème est sorti début Aout et semble dans la même veine que son grand frère ... Au menu, des guerriers, et pas n'importe lesquels, des vikings ... une malédiction et bien sur l'amour de femmes qui vont tout faire pour briser cette malediction .... Immortal warrior
IMMORTAL WARRIOR He came to England in search of treasure. Two hundred years later, he's found her… Ivar Graycloak is a brave warrior, a man known for his strength and integrity. He is also a man with a terrible secret. Long ago he was part of a Viking crew cursed by an evil sorceress to live for eternity as were-creatures. An eagle by day and a man by night, Ivar has lived a solitary existence for over two centuries. Then the king orders him to marry. Lady Alaida is everything a man could want in a bride-intelligent, spirited, and beautiful-and their wedding night is a balm to Ivar's lonely spirit. Then a seer brings him word of a dark vision, one that makes Ivar vow to stay away from his lovely wife forever. But now that Ivar has sampled Alaida's passion, her humor and warmth, he is enthralled. His traitorous body-his very heart-longs for that which he can never possess. Lady Alaida may surprise him yet, though, for she has a power of her own-a power that will either destroy everything they hold dear or ultimately set them free… IMMORTAL OUTLAW THE LEGEND Sent by their jarl to capture a great treasure of gold and jewels, the warriors led by Brand Einarsson fell under a spell cast by the powerful sorceress who guarded the hoard and whose son they had killed. The witch Cwen cursed them to spend eternity as shadow beasts, living half as animal, half as man, each taking the form of his fylgja, the spirit companion whose image he wore. After she worked her foul magic, Cwen took their amulets and had them scattered across the land so they would never be found, and she drove the men off into the forest to live their accursed lives. Some twelve-score years later, Ivar Graycloak, known to the Normans who by then ruled England as Ivo de Vassy, found both his amulet and a woman who loved him even knowing the monster he was, and through their combined magic, Cwen's power over him was broken. The eight remaining warriors found hope in Ivar's victory and began to scour the English countryside for their fylgja amulets. They ransacked ancient ruins and burial mounds, standing stones and wells, graveyards and even the most venerable buildings of the Christian church, searching for some trace or clue of the amulets. And as they searched, they also watched for signs of Cwen, who had been sore wounded and gone to ground. Decades passed and neither Cwen nor any of the amulets were found, and the warriors lost hope and once more resigned themselves to their half-lives. Slowly, as Ivar had, some began to make their way along the edges of humankind, finding work and friends and even the occasional moment of peace among mortal men and women. Others could not, their animal forms being too strange to move easily among the beasts of England or too deadly to live near her people. One of these was Steinarr, son of Birgir BentLeg, called Steinarr the Proud, who so terrified the English as the lion he became each night that he was driven from forest to forest without cease and who did such damage to the other warriors that most would not tolerate his company. But even a man who lives in the wilds has need of clothing and food and other things of men, so he learned to find coin where he could, turning to thievery, banditry, and even, when the opportunity presented itself, to hunting men… --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Vous avez reçu ce message, car vous êtes abonné au groupe Groupe "Blue Moon List" de Google Groupes.
