A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Shadow Harold, master thief, is in over his head. When he accepted the King's commission (not that he had any choice in the matter) he did not think that it would be to retrieve a legendary artefact from Hrad Spein, the many-layered resting place of ogres, elves and wizards; a place of dread, awe and immeasurable power, sealed up for centuries. Unless Harold finds the long-lost Horn, the Nameless One will overrun the realm of Valiostr, the northernmost kingdom of Siala.
But that was just the beginning of Harold's troubles. Magically bound to the Key with which the dark elves sealed Hrad Spein, and which his enemies are determined to obtain at any cost, treachery, subterfuge and death follow Harold and his companions as they fight to reach their goal. On one side is the threat of the Nameless One; on the other, the servants of the mysterious Master. A long-dead mage is living in Harold's head, and his dreams are haunted by terrible visions. What is the meaning of the House of Power, not to mention the House of Pain, the House of Love, and the House of Fear? Resolutely denying his destiny as the mystical Dancer in the Shadows, Harold's journey takes him to the Forest of Zagraba, 'the land where the gods had walked at the dawn of time'…

Quatrième de couverture

The fate of Siala is in his hands, but Harold cannot escape his own demons…
Shadow Harold and his band of outcasts have left one of their number in the wilderness, but together the survivors struggle on towards the catacombs of Hrad Spein. Harold must enter the underground complex alone and find the legendary Rainbow Horn, the only thing which can stop the Nameless One from overrunning the realm of Valiostr, Harold's beloved homeland.
But the Nameless One and his servants are not Harold's only enemies; a long-dead mage is haunting him, and his dreams are plagued by terrible visions. Still denying his destiny as the mystical Dancer in the Shadows, Harold's quest takes him to the Forest of Zagraba, where the gods walked at the dawn of time…
Shadow Chaser is the second instalment in Russia's bestselling fantasy saga Chronicles of Siala.
Praise for the series
'Shadow Prowler is a fresh, exuberant take on territory that will be familiar to all fans of classic high fantasy. Alexey Pehov introduces a cast of charming, quirky, unsavory, even loathesome characters in a fast-paced, entertaining adventure'
Kevin J. Anderson
