The legend starts here! The Legend of Drizzt(R) Collector's Edition, Book I collects the first three novels in this best-selling series: Homeland, Exile, and Sojourn in a new trade paperback edition. A great value for anyone who's ready to experience the Legend of Drizzt. Drizzt Do'Urden made his first mistake the moment he was born: he was a boy. In the rigid matriarchy of the dark elf city of Menzoberranzan, that makes his life forfeit. But when his own mother tries but fails to kill him, Drizzt's path is set. He must find a way to escape the treacherous Underdark, even if that means setting out alone into the no less dangerous World Above.

Passage to Dawn Six years. Not so long in the lifespan of a drow. And yet -- in counting the months, the weeks, the days, the hours -- it seemed to me as if I had been away from Mithral Hall a hundred times that number. The place was another lifetime, another way of life, a mere stepping stone to. . . To what? To where? I ride the waves along the Sword Coast now, the wind and spray in my face. My ceiling is the rush of clouds and the canopy of stars; my floor, the creaking boards of a swift, well-weathered ship. Beyond that lies the azure blanket, flat and still, heaving and rolling, hissing in the rain and exploding under the fall of a breaching whale. Is this, then, my home?

The epic story of Aoleyn continues in the next volume of The Coven series from R. A. Salvatore.

Tierflin and Doum'weille are half-Drow siblings, locked in competition for the ownership of the bloodthirsty sword Khazid'hea—the Cutter! Their father, the Drow renegade Tos'un—a veteran of battles against the Kingdom of Many-Arrows—is forced to choose his heir… but what does the powerful sword have to say on the subject?

From New York Times bestselling author R. A. Salvatore, the legendary creator of Drizzt Do’Urden, comes Child of a Mad God, the first novel in the epic fantasy series, The Coven. When Aoleyn loses her parents, she is left to fend for herself among a tribe of vicious barbarians. Bound by rigid traditions, she dreams of escaping to the world beyond her mountain home. The only hope for achieving the kind of freedom she searches for is to learn how to wield the mysterious power used by the tribe’s coven known as the Song of Usgar. Thankfully, Aoleyn may be the strongest witch to have ever lived, but magic comes at price. Not only has her abilities caught the eye of the brutish warlord that leads the tribe, but the demon of the mountain hunts all who wield the Coven’s power, and Aoleyn’s talent has made her a beacon in the night.

In this volume, it is time for Anakin and the other characters to make key choices - about forbidden love, duty and honour. These choices will set into motion events that change the lives of everyone and the course of an entire galaxy.

Mafia je problém, ktorý zasahuje celý svet. Čo vlastne mafia je? Môže byť považovaná za súčasť organizovanej kriminality? Je spojená s talianskymi lobistickými a klientelistickými skupinami, korupciou a podplácaním? Salvatore Lupo sa vo svojej knihe snaží osvetliť tieto otázky. Sicílska mafia nie je porovnateľná s inými podobnými fenoménmi; nie je to len špecifické správanie ostrovanov. Ide o organizáciu s vlastnou štruktúrou a ideológiou, ktorá má výnimočnú historickú kontinuitu. Jej história je poznačená krvou klanov a „kajúcnikov“ spolupracujúcich so spravodlivosťou, maxiprocesmi a politickými škandálmi. Mafia robí obchody, ale nie je to len skupina obchodníkov; pašuje, ale nie je to iba banda pašerákov. Rokuje s politikmi, ale nie je politickou stranou. Snaží sa suplovať štát a preberá jeho funkcie, od monopolu na násilie po teritoriálnu kontrolu. Z tohto dôvodu je dôležité spoznať 150 rokov existencie rodinných zoskupení a zločincov, ktorí pôsobia najmä v Palerme a jeho okolí. Mesto je základňou mariánskej organizácie, z ktorej vychádzajú krvavé nitky spájajúce Palermo s Talianskom a svetom. Kniha by mala byť povinným čítaním pre bankárov, policajtov, sudcov, prokurátorov a predstaviteľov štátnej správy.
