He is DRUSS the Legend . His skill in battle has earned him a fearsome reputation throughout the world and the stories of his life are told everywhere. But the grizzled veteran has spurned a life of fame and fortune and retreated to the solitude of his mountain lair to await his old enemy, Death. Meanwhile, barbarian hordes of the Nadir are on the march, conquering all before them. All that stands before them and victory is the legendary six-walled fortress of the Drenai empire, Dros Delnoch. If the fortress falls, so do the Drenai. Druss reluctantly agrees to come out of retirement. But can even Druss live up to his own legends? Held by many to be Gemmell's most iconic work, the book is considered a classic in the heroic fantasy genre.

Sookie Stackhouse es una camarera con un inusitado poder para leer la mente. Su don es el origen de sus problemas. Siempre acaba sabiendo más de lo que le gustaría de la gente que le rodea, de todos menos de Bill Compton, porque su mente, la de un vampiro que trata de reinsertarse en la sociedad, es absolutamente impenetrable. Cuando sus vidas se cruzan descubrirá que para ella ya no hay vuelta atrás. La aparición de un asesino en serie es la prueba definitiva para su confianza... porque ni siquiera ella sabe si Bill es su protector, o si se convertirá en su fatal asesino.
Sookie Stackhouse está pasando una mala racha: su compañero de trabajo ha sido asesinado y ella es atacada por una criatura sobrenatural, pero afortunadamente los vampiros le salvan la vida. Cuando le piden que busque a uno de ellos, desaparecido en Dallas, Sookie no lo duda ni un momento. Eso sí, pone una única condición: ningún humano debe ser dañado. Pero eso es muy fácil decirlo?

Tutti e tre i suoi figli sono ormai adulti, ma fra loro e il padre non regna certo la più perfetta armonia!Anzi Phastis, il primogenito - sulla cui autentica paternità esistono ancora dei dubbi, sicché si mormora che possa in realtà discendere dal seme di Anthimios - sembra essersi lasciato affascinare da un'iquietante eresia che va sempre più diffondendosi nel territorio dell'Impero: quella dei Thanasioi.Trascinati dal fanatismo del loro sinistro capo, Livanios, i seguaci della setta predicano che ogni ricchezza e ogni materialità, compreso il corpo umano, altro non sono che creazioni diaboliche di Skotos, il dio del Male e che pertanto ogni manifestazione di dovizia e ogni potere vanno combattuti...
