À propos de cet e-book

"A new star is rising in the fantasy firmament...teems with magic and spine-chilling amounts of skullduggery."–Dave Duncan, author of The Great Game

When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn’t commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But one thing he never expected was his cellmate. Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things–none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine, and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec’s new mentor, and this time there just might be…Luck in the Shadows.

Notes et avis

This was the most delighting surprise for me in years of reading ! After the first chapter, wich can appear to be boring, this is one of the best fantasy serie for me. The plot is well set across all of the books, yet each one of them brings something different (sometimes more action, sometimes more "politic"..). And the characters.. well, all I can say is that it was very hard to tell them goodbye at the end of the serie. In short, go for it !
