“Un capolavoro del giallo e del mistero! L’autore ha svolto un magnifico lavoro, a sviluppare i personaggi con un approfondito lato psicologico, così ben descritto, che ci fa sentire all’interno della loro mente, provare le loro paure e gioire del loro successo. La trama è molto intelligente e vi intratterrà per tutta la durata del libro. Ricco di colpi di scena, questo libro vi terrà svegli fino all’ultima pagina.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos (su Il Killer della Rosa) IL KILLER DELL’OROLOGIO è il libro #4 nella serie di bestseller dei misteri di Riley Paige, che comincia con IL KILLER DELLA ROSA, bestseller (Libro #1)! Delle donne vengono ritrovate morte sul ciglio solitario di un’autostrada nel Delaware. Alcune sono scomparse inspiegabilmente da molto tempo, mentre altre vengono ritrovate cadaveri, esposti in modi bizzarri e misteriosi. Quando viene scoperta una pista, diventa chiaro all’FBI, che un contorto serial killer è a piede libero—adescando ragazze, secondo subdoli schemi—e che non smetterà mai di uccidere. L’FBI, disperata di risolvere il caso, affida il compito di occuparsene all’Agente Speciale Riley Paige. Ma la brillante Riley, ancora riprendendosi dai casi precedenti, ha finalmente trovato la quiete nella sua vita domestica, ed è determinata ad aiutare la figlia April a tornare in piedi. Ma quando gli omicidi diventano troppo inquietanti, troppo urgenti—e quando l’ex partner, Bill, la implora—Riley finalmente realizza di non potersi tirare indietro. La caccia conduce la donna nelle profondità di un mondo oscuro formato da autostoppiste, girovaghe, donne di cui non importa a nessuno. Quando scopre che diverse donne sono tenute prigioniere, in vita, e che c’è ancora il tempo per salvarle, si rende conto che non si fermerà davanti a niente, ossessionata dal caso e spingendosi al limite. Tuttavia, Riley realizza che la sua stessa vita sta crollando, e che la sua fragile psiche può a malapena gestire la tensione. In una frenetica corsa contro il tempo, dovrà penetrare nella mente del killer per salvare quelle donne—e per impedire a se stessa—di crollare. Un cupo thriller psicologico, caratterizzato da una suspense mozzafiato, IL KILLER DELL’OROLOGIO è il libro #4 in un nuova serie affascinante—con un nuovo amato personaggio—che vi terrà incollati alle pagine fino a notte fonda. Il libro #5 nella serie di Riley Paige sarà presto disponibile.

Terwijl ze worstelt om haar speciale vaardigheden te begrijpen, haar mysterieuze innerlijke kracht, beseft ze dat ze anders is dan de anderen. Maar er wordt een geheim voor haar verzwegen over haar geboorte en een voorspelling rond haar lot, waardoor ze zich gaat afvragen wie ze echt is. Wanneer de lokale heer komt om haar mee te nemen, wil haar vader haar uithuwelijken om haar te redden. Kyra weigert en vertrekt in haar eentje.

Aan de andere kant van het koninkrijk worstelt de huurling Merk met zijn duistere verleden. Hij reist door de bossen, vastberaden om een Wachter van de Torens te worden en te helpen het Vuurzwaard, de magische krachtbron van het koninkrijk, te bewaken.

It will keep you entertained for hours, and will satisfy all ages. Recommended for the permanent library of all fantasy readers.” –Books and Movie Reviews, Roberto Mattos AN OATH OF BROTHERS is Book #14 in the Bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING, which begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1)! In AN OATH OF BROTHERS, Thorgrin and his brothers emerge from the land of the dead, more driven than ever to find Guwayne, and set sail across a hostile sea, leading them to places beyond their wildest dreams. As they come ever-closer to finding Guwayne, they also encounter obstacles unlike ever before, obstacles which will test them to their very limits, which will call on all their training and force them to stand together as one, as brothers. Darius stands up to the Empire, boldly amassing an army as he frees one slave village after the next. Facing off against fortified cities, against an army a thousand times his size, he summons all of his instincts and courage, determined to survive, determined to win, to strive for freedom at any cost, even at the cost of his life. Gwendolyn, with no other choice, leads her people into the Great Waste, deeper into the Empire than anyone has ever journeyed, on a quest to find the legendary Second Ring—the last hope for the survival of her people, and the last hope for Darius. Yet along the way she will encounter horrific monsters, worse landscapes, and an insurrection from amidst her own people that even she may not be able to stop. Erec and Alistair sail for the Empire to save their people, and along the way stop at hidden islands, determined to raise an army—even if it means dealing with mercenaries of questionable repute. Godfrey finds himself deep inside the city of Volusia and deep in trouble as his plan goes from bad to worse. Imprisoned, set to be executed, finally, even he can see no way out. Volusia forges a pact with the darkest of sorcerers, and driven to even greater heights, she continues her ascent, conquering all who stand in her way. More powerful than ever, she will take her war all the way to the steps of the Empire Capital—until she is up against the entire Empire army, an army that dwarfs even her own, setting the stage for an epic battle. Will Thorgrin find Guwayne? Will Gwendolyn and her people survive? Will Godfrey escape? Will Erec and Alistair reach the Empire? Will Volusia become the next Empress? Will Darius lead his people to victory? With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, AN OATH OF BROTHERS is an epic tale of friends and lovers, of rivals and suitors, of knights and dragons, of intrigues and political machinations, of coming of age, of broken hearts, of deception, ambition and betrayal.

Back in the Ring, Gwendolyn must lead half of King’s Court to the Western stronghold of Silesia, an ancient city perched on the edge of the Canyon that has stood for one thousand years. Silesia’s fortifications have allowed it to survive every attack throughout every century—but it has never been faced with an assault by a leader like Andronicus, by an army like his million men. Gwendolyn learns what it means to be queen as she takes on a leadership role, Srog, Kolk, Brom, Steffen, Kendrick and Godfrey by her side, preparing to defend the city for the massive war to come.
