Novedades de Wizards of the Coast hasta febrero de 2013

Estas son las novelas que Wizards of the Coast ha publicado desde el pasado mes de octubre, y que publicará hasta el mes de febrero de 2013 con la quinta entrega de la serie "Brotherhood of the Gryffon", de Richard Lee Byers, y la edición en mass market paperback de Charon's Claw, de R. A. Salvatore, tercera entrega de "The Neverwinter Saga", trilogía que actualmente publica Timun Mas. Su segundo volumen, Neverwinter, fue publicado en el mes de abril de este año. Wizards of the Coast publica también un volumen que recopila las tres novelas de R. A. Salvatore junto a su hijo Geno Salvatore con Stone of Tymora, que recoge las novelas The Stowaway, The Shadowmask y The Sentinels.

Hemos de notar la gran reducción de lanzamientos que la editorial americana viene acuciando desde hace un tiempo. Habiendo prácticamente eliminado la aparición de publicaciones relacionadas con Dragonlance –salvo reducciones puntuales–, así como las de Dark Sun (Sol Oscuro) o cualquier otro escenario de campaña para el juego de rol de Dungeons & Dragons, el mundo de Reinos Olvidados es por el momento el que más publicaciones de novela acusa, como demuestra este boletín de novedades, aunque la reducción de sus novedades también se hace notar.

Prophet of the Dead, de Richard Lee Byers. Edición en bolsillo/ebook, 352 páginas, 7,99 doblones. A la venta el 5 febrero de 2013. Género: Fantasía. Serie: Brotherhood of the Gryffon/5.

Sinopsis:

"Of course you can’t," said a deep, silky voice; Jhesrhi Coldcreek cast around in vain to find the source.

“How can Amaunator shed his light on secrets in a place where the Yellow Sun never shines?”

Cera Eurthos’s conjured glow faded, and darkness shrouded the chilly crypt with its mad jumble of funerary carvings. The stag men turned this way and that, the bells in their antlers chiming.

Jhesrhi called for fire. It leaped forth from the core of her, flowed down the inside of her arm, and sprang forth from the head of her brazen staff. She felt satisfaction that the thing that had spoken, whatever it was, couldn’t smother her power.

But then it came out of the dark, and dread pierced her like a knife. She flinched back a step, and so did her companions. Her gilded mace clutched in her hand and blond curls sticking out from under the rim of her helmet, Cera let out a gasp...

Charon's Claw, de R. A. Salvatore. Edición en bolsillo, 448 páginas, 7,99 doblones. A la venta el 5 febrero de 2013. Género: Fantasía. Serie: The Neverwinter Saga/3.

Sinopsis:

In the 3rd book of the #4 New York Times best-selling Neverwinter Saga, Drizzt draws his swords once more to aid his friends. His lover, Dahlia Sin’felle, can speak of nothing but the moment she will face the Netherese lord Herzgo Alegni once again. Drizzt has already followed a trail of vengeance beside Dahlia. Can he justify one more battle to settle a grudge he does not understand? Artemis Entreri too seeks vengeance. He offers to aid Dahlia in her mission to destroy Alegni. But Charon’s Claw, Alegni’s sentient sword, dominates Entreri’s movements—if not his mind. And then there’s the way Entreri looks at Dahlia. Can Drizzt trust his old foe?

Brimstone Angels: Lesser Evils, de Erin Evans. Edición en bolsillo/ebook, 448 páginas, 7,99 doblones. A la venta. Género: Fantasía. Serie: Brimstone Angels.

Sinopsis:

Mere weeks after escaping Neverwinter, Farideh’s dreams are still haunted by Lorcan, the cambion devil whose power fuels her own. One of only four known descendents of the original Brimstone Angel, Farideh has no regrets about the pact she made with the devil. But no one in the Hells knows that she has a twin—an impulsive eager sister, just waiting to be corrupted. At least as long as Lorcan can keep her secret.

Determined to protect her sister, Farideh searches for a ritual that could call Lorcan out of the Hells. But in the midst of her hunt, she’s drawn into an assignment for the secret society the Harpers, an assignment which leads her and a ragtag group of allies to an ancient Netherese library deep underground. While the group combs the site, dodging ghosts and magical traps, Farideh discovers a magical book whose pronouncements throw into question everything she thought she knew about herself and her sister.

The more the Book gives up its macabre secrets, the more one thing becomes clear—a traitor lurks among them.
