En UN RITO DE ESPADAS (A RITE OF SWORDS) – (Libro #7 de El Anillo del Hechicero – The Sorcerer’s Ring), Thor debate con su legado, luchando para asimilar quién es su padre, si revela su secreto y qué medidas debe tomar. De vuelta a casa en el Anillo, con Mycoples a su lado y la Espada del Destino en la mano, Thor está decidido a vengarse del ejército de Andrónico y liberar a su patria – y finalmente proponerle matrimonio a Gwendolyn. Pero se da cuenta de que hay fuerzas aún mayores que la de él, que podrían interponerse en su camino. Gwendolyn regresa y se esfuerza por convertirse en la gobernante elegida, usando su sabiduría para unir las fuerzas dispares y expulsar a Andrónico para siempre. Reunida con Thor y sus hermanos, ella está agradecida por la pausa en la violencia y por la oportunidad de celebrar su libertad. Pero las cosas cambian rápidamente – demasiado rápido – y antes de darse cuenta, su vida se torna de cabeza otra vez. Su hermana mayor, Luanda, en una gran rivalidad con ella, está decidida a arrebatar el poder, mientras que el hermano del rey MacGil llega con su propio ejército para hacerse del control del trono. Con espías y asesinos por todos lados, Gwendolyn, asediada, aprende que ser reina no es tan seguro como ella pensaba. El amor de Reece por Selese finalmente tiene la oportunidad de prosperar, pero al mismo tiempo, aparece su viejo amor, y se encuentra indeciso. Pero los tiempos de inactividad pronto son superados por la batalla y Reece, Elden, O'Connor, Conven, Kendrick, Erec e incluso Godfrey deben enfrentar y superar juntos las adversidades, para sobrevivir. Sus batallas los llevarán a todos los rincones del Anillo, que se convierte en una carrera contra el tiempo para derrocar a Andrónico y salvarse de la total destrucción. Igual de poderosas, fuerzas inesperadas luchan por el control del Anillo; Gwen se da cuenta de que ella debe hacer todo lo necesario para encontrar a Argon y traerlo de vuelta. En un giro final impactante, Thor se entera que aunque sus poderes son supremos, también tiene una debilidad oculta – una que sólo puede traer consigo su caída final. ¿Thor y los demás liberarán el Anillo y derrotarán a Andrónico? ¿Gwendolyn será la reina que todos necesitan que sea? ¿Qué será de la Espada del Destino, de Erec, Kendrick, Reece y Godfrey? ¿Y cuál es el secreto que esconde Alistair? Con su sofisticada construcción del mundo y caracterización, UN RITO DE ESPADAS es un relato épico de amigos y amantes, de rivales y pretendientes, de caballeros y dragones, de intrigas y maquinaciones políticas, de llegar a la mayoría de edad, de corazones rotos, de decepción, ambición y traición. Es una historia de honor y valor, de suerte y destino, de hechicería. Es una fantasía que nos lleva a un mundo que nunca olvidaremos, y que gustará a personas de todas las edades y géneros.

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 (regarding A Quest of Heroes) THE GIFT OF BATTLE (Book #17) is the finale of the Bestselling series THE SORCERER'S RING, which begins with A QUEST OF HEROES (book #1)! In THE GIFT OF BATTLE, Thor meets his greatest and final challenge, as he quests deeper into the Land of Blood to attempt to rescue Guwayne. Encountering foes more powerful than he ever imagined, Thor soon realizes he is up against an army of darkness, one for which his powers are no match. When he learns a sacred object may give him the powers he needs—an object which has been kept secret for ages—he must embark on a final quest to retrieve it before it is too late, with the fate of the Ring hanging in the balance. Gwendolyn keeps her vow to the King of the Ridge, entering the tower and confronting the cult leader to learn what secret he is hiding. The revelation sends her to Argon, and ultimately to Argon’s master—where she learns the greatest secret of all, one which may alter the destiny of her people. When the Ridge is discovered by the Empire, the invasion begins and, under attack by the greatest army known to man, it falls on Gwendolyn to defend, and to lead her people on one final, mass exodus. Thor’s Legion brothers, on their own, face unimaginable risks, as Angel is dying from her leprosy. Darius fights for his life beside his father in the Empire capital, until a surprise twist prods him, with nothing left to lose, to finally tap his own powers. Erec and Alistair reach Volusia, battling their way upriver, and they continue on their quest for Gwendolyn and the exiles, as they face unexpected battles. And Godfrey realizes that he must ultimately make a decision to be the man he wants to be. Volusia, surrounded by all the power of the Knights of the Seven, must put herself to the test as goddess and discover if she alone has the power to crush men and rule the Empire. While Argon, faced with his end of days, realizes the time has come to sacrifice himself. As good and evil hang in the balance, one final, epic battle—the greatest battle of all—will determine the outcome of the Ring for all time. With its sophisticated world-building and characterization, THE GIFT OF BATTLE 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.

Dopo essere fuggito dalle segrete, Thor è sconvolto dal sentire di un altro tentativo di assassinio contro Re MacGil. Quando MacGil muore, il regno è in pieno subbiglio. Mentre tutti competono per ottenere il trono, la Corte del Re è più occupata che mai con i suoi drammi familiari, lotte di potere, ambizioni, gelosia, violenza e tradimento. È necessario che un erede venga scelto tra i figli, e l’antica Spada della Dinastia, la fonte di tutto il loro potere, avrà un’altra occasione di essere sollevata da un nuovo pretendente.

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.
