Produktbeschreibung

From the author of the Crown of Stars series, "a sweeping tale of loyalty and betrayal, ambition and intrigue, impelled by the mysteries that lie at its heart" (Jacqueline Carey, New York Times-bestselling author). Winner of the Romantic TimesReviewers' Choice Award for Best Epic Fantasy In the realm of the Hundred, the Black Wolves have become the elite warriors of the king. For fifteen years, they've been chasing the last four cloaked demons, dangerous beings who ride winged horses and can dazzle their prey, penetrating their thoughts, dreams, and memories. The peace and order of the Hundred is at stake-and the king can brook no weakness. To that end, he sends Kellas, his most efficient and productive wolf, to hunt down a traitor in their ranks. Success on the mission elevates Kellas's rank to captain of the prince's guard. As the fates of Kellas and the kingdom intertwine, deadly violence and treachery seem to be on the rise with enemies both demon and human threatening to plunge the Hundred into chaos and conflict. And now Kellas is starting to think he may be on the wrong side of this war... "On a vast, colorful canvas, Kate Elliott has drawn dozens of characters who act and react with poetry and grit. Lush and textured, by turns moving, exciting, playful, and contemplative, Black Wolvesis a masterpiece that soars with an epic soul." -Ken Liu, Hugo-, Nebula-, and World Fantasy-Award winning author "Intricate, fascinating worldbuilding, twisty political intrigue, vivid characters to love and hate-this is Kate Elliott at the top of her epic fantasy game." -Karen Miller, author of the Kingmaker, Kingbreaker duology

Autorenporträt

Kate Elliott has been writing stories since she was nine years old, which has led her to believe that she is either a little crazy or that writing, like breathing, keeps her alive. Her most recent series is the Spiritwalker Trilogy ( Cold Magic, Cold Fire, and Cold Steel), an Afro-Celtic post-Roman alternate-nineteenth-century Regency ice-punk mashup with airships, Phoenician spies, the intelligent descendants of troodons, and revolution. Her previous works include the Crossroads trilogy (starting with Spirit Gate), the Crown of Stars septology (starting with King's Dragon), the Novels of the Jaran, the Highroad Trilogy, and the novel The Labyrinth Gate, originally published under the name Alis A. Rasmussen. She likes to play sports more than she likes to watch them; right now, her sport of choice is outrigger canoe paddling. Her spouse has a much more interesting job than she does, with the added benefit that they had to move to Hawaii for his work; thus the outrigger canoes. They also have a schnauzer (a.k.a. the Schnazghul).
