"An anthology celebrating the witches and sorcerers of epic fantasy--featuring stories by George R. R. Martin, Scott Lynch, Megan Lindholm, and many more! Hot on the heels of award-winning editor Gardner Dozois's (Rogues, Old Venus) acclaimed anthology The Book of Swords comes this companion volume devoted to magic. How could it be otherwise? For every Frodo, there is a Gandalf...and a Saruman. For every Dorothy, a Glinda...and a Wicked Witch of the West. What would Harry Potter be without Albus Dumbledore...and Severus Snape? Figures of wisdom and power, possessing arcane, often forbidden knowledge, wizards and sorcerers are shaped--or misshaped--by the potent magic they seek to wield. Yet though their abilities may be godlike, these men and women remain human...some might say all too human. Such is their curse. And their glory. In these pages, seventeen of today's top fantasy writers--including award-winners K. J. Parker (The Two of Swords), Megan Lindholm (The Windsingers), John Crowley (The Deep), Tim Powers (Last Call), Liz Williams (Snake Agent), Elizabeth Bear (Eternal Sky Trilogy), George R. R. Martin (A Song of Ice and Fire), Kate Elliott (The Court of Fives Trilogy), Scott Lynch (The Republic of Thieves), and more--cast wondrous spells that thrillingly evoke the mysterious, awesome, and at times downright terrifying worlds where magic reigns supreme: worlds as far away as forever...and as near as next door"--
Nowa antologia po bestsellerowej Księdze mieczy ze świata epickiej fantasy – tym razem w roli głównej wiedźmy, czarodzieje i mroczne obrzędy. Każdy Frodo ma swojego Gandalfa. . . i Sarumana. Czym byłby Harry Potter bez Albusa Dumbledore'a. . . i Severusa Snape’a? Bohaterowie dysponujący odwieczną mądrością i różnymi mocami, posiadający tajemną, często zakazaną wiedzę, czarodzieje i czarodziejki są kształtowani - lub zniekształcani - przez potężną magię, którą chce nimi zawładnąć. W tomie siedemnastu najlepszych pisarzy fantasy - w tym laureaci wielu nagród: Elizabeth Bear, John Crowley, Kate Elliott, KJ Parker, Tim Powers i Liz Williams - rzucają cudowne zaklęcia, które przywołują tajemnicze, niesamowite, a czasem wręcz przerażające światy, w których króluje magia. A do tego klasyczne opowiadanie George’a R.R. Martina Noc w Oberży przy Stawie, w którym autor odwiedza świat Umierającej Ziemi Jacka Vance’a, prowadząc nas do Krainy Przewracającego się Muru.
