They were both outcasts by a harsh decree -- and on the brink of a shared destiny of passion!
With her father murdered, her home burned, lovely Alyx Blackett fled to the woods -- and sanctuary in the camp of Raine Montgomery, a nobleman outlawed by the king's edict. There she hid her beauty in the guise of a boy, and her sorrow in her work as Montgomery's squire.
But how long could such loveliness as hers be hidden? How long could such a gallant man's desires be blind? And how soon -- even as a blood feud raged between the Montgomerys and the Chatworths, as angry swords clattered in the name of family honor -- one woman's love would make all the difference... one woman's love would inflame a hero's passion, touch a king's pity, and raise a song of praise in every English heart.

From New York Times bestselling author Bernard Cornwell, the sequel to The Archer's Tale—the spellbinding tale of a young man, a fearless archer, who sets out wanting to avenge his family's honor and winds up on a quest for the Holy Grail.
In 1347, a year of conflict and unrest, Thomas of Hookton returns to England to pursue the Holy Grail. Among the flames of the Hundred Years War, a sinister enemy awaits the fabled archer and mercenary soldier: a bloodthirsty Dominican Inquisitor who also seeks Christendom's most holy relic. But neither the horrors of the battlefield nor sadistic torture at the Inquisitor's hands can turn Thomas from his sworn mission. And his thirst for vengeance will never be quenched while the villainous black rider who destroyed everything he loved still lives.
"Cornwell writes the best battle scenes of any writer I've read past or present."—George R.R. Martin

Veštac i Ciri u svetu zahvaćenom plamenom…
Veliki sabor čarobnjaka okončava se krvavim prevratom, dok carstvo Nilfgarda ratuje sa kraljevstvima Severa. Ratni vihor besni i razmešta Ciri, Geralta i Jenefer na različite strane sveta. Nastupilo je vreme mača i sekire. Vreme prezira.
U svetu zahvaćenom ratnim razaranjima i pustošenjem na površinu su izmileli Pacovi – banda otpadnika, životnih brodolomnika koje je iznedrio rat. Snažno povezani osećanjem prezira prema svima koji im ne pripadaju, oni ne prezaju ni pred čim, pa ni pred smrću, jer više nemaju šta da izgube.
Vreme prezira je četvrta od sedam knjiga Sage o vešcu, koju sačinjavaju dve zbirke pripovedaka i pet romana. Saga je postala bestseler ne samo u autorovoj rodnoj Poljskoj već i širom sveta. Prevedena je na brojne svetske jezike, po njoj je snimljena TV serija i napravljena čuvena kompjuterska igra The Witcher.
Ova saga je unela korenite promene u žanr epske fantastike. U maštovito oživotvorenom svetu čarobnjaka, vilenjaka, patuljaka, i najrazličitijih čudovišta, osebujno se prepliću mitologija i savremena dinamika akcije, egzotični krajolici, mistika, i sve ono što čini standarde ovog žanra.
„Četvrta knjiga Sage o vešcu je, izgleda, još bolja od prethodne. Strašnom snagom i vrtoglavom akcijom hrli ka ključnim događajima, koji će vas ostaviti bez daha. Bez razmišljanja možemo da kažemo da je ovo jedna od najboljih knjiga epske fantastike.”
Fantasy Fan
„Poput dobro uvežbanog mađioničarskog trika, svaka knjiga Andžeja Sapkovskog opčinjava spojem intelektualne oštrine, mašte i lakonskog humora.”

Only? It was the last word in summer resorts! The millionaires backing it had spent eighteen million dollars on it. They had placed it on a fine road to New York. They ran planes and busses to it. They were going to clean up five hundred per cent on their investment, in real estate deals and rentals. On this, its formal opening night, the place was wide open. In every beautiful summer home all lights were on, whether the home in question was tenanted or not. The stores were open, whether or not customers were available. The inns and small hotels were gay with decorations. But it was at the big hotel at the hub of the town that the gayeties attendant on such a stupendous opening night were at their most complete. Every room and suite was occupied. The lobby was crowded. Formally dressed guests strolled the promenade, and tried fruitlessly to gain admission to the already overcrowded roof garden. Views: 238
