There''s none so ruthless as a dragon king... Ladon Ormarr has earned every bit of his grim reputation. The Blood King. Icy, calculated, and unrelenting. But he''s had no choice. The survival of the Blue Dragon Clan depends on him being an uncompromising leader with the blood of countless enemies on his hands. Especially when every other clan, king, and dragon shifter is gunning for him. Enemies above, below, and always at his back. If Ladon wants to keep his throne and protect his people, he needs something more. An edge. A weapon. A miracle. He needs Skylar Amon. Her existence is a beacon to those dragons who are ravenous for power. But the cunning little firebrand doesn''t trust anyone, especially dragons - let alone a dragon king. Yet ruthlessness runs cold through his blood, and with his people - his clan - depending on him for survival, he will do whatever it takes. Even if it means putting his life and soul in the hands of a woman who could kill any dragon who tries to claim her... The author of The Games Gods Play brings you Book 2 of the Inferno Rising series.

GLI DEI AMANO GIOCARE CON NOI COMUNI MORTALI. E OGNI CENTO ANNI... GLIELO PERMETTIAMO. Mi chiamo Lyra Keres. E non sono mai stata una favorita degli dei. Anzi, proprio tutto il contrario. E per questo devo ringraziare Zeus, quello stronzo. Da piccola sono stata offerta dai miei genitori all''Ordine dei Ladri per estinguere i loro debiti, e ho una maledizione che pende sulla mia testa, ma sono andata avanti, con la speranza che gli dei capricciosi che ci governano dall''Olimpo non si accorgessero di me. Un''impresa tutt''altro che facile, dato che Zeus è il patrono della mia città, San Francisco. Ma ce l''ho fatta. Sono ancora qui, viva e vegeta. Tutto è cambiato però quando mi sono imbattuta in un altro dio. Il peggiore. Ade. Per la prima volta, lo spietato, volubile Re dell''Oltretomba ha deciso di prendere parte alla Sfida, il torneo a cui partecipano gli dei ogni cento anni per determinare chi di loro siederà sul trono dell''Olimpo e governerà per i successivi cento. Viene da chiedersi perché Ade abbia scelto proprio me come sua campionessa, una piccola, insignificante mortale che può vantare solo una gran dose di sarcasmo e una maledizione sulle spalle. E soprattutto perché il mio cuore batte più forte ogni volta che lui afferma che sono sua. Non ho la più pallida idea se per questo dio pericoloso e tentatore io sia una pedina, un''esca o altro ancora. Quel che so con certezza è che Ade sta giocando secondo regole tutte sue. E che la morte vince. Sempre. A ogni costo.

Az életem nem több egy jól kitervelt hazugságnál. Eltitkolt iker hercegnőként, másodszülöttként létezésem egyetlen célt szolgál: helyettesíteni a nővéremet, valahányszor az életére veszély leselkedik - még ha ezért a sajátommal is kell fizetnem. Életem nagy részét egy szegény, ismeretlen, rang nélküli lány álruhájában éltem, alkalmanként belebújva a hercegnő szerepébe, ha veszély ütötte fel a fejét. Egészen mostanáig. Nagyanyánk, a királynő halálát követően a kortalan Eidolon király rögvest ajándékot küldött a nővéremnek, és egy házassági ajánlatot. Szándékai őszinteségében kételkedve azt tettem, amire születtem, és titkon átvettem a nővérem helyét a koronázás előestéjén. Így történt hát, hogy amikor egy árnyalak el akarta rabolni a leendő királynőt, tévedésből engem ragadott el. Miközben minden erőmmel a menekülés lehetőségét keresem, a hazugságok lassan napvilágra kerülnek. És nem csak az én hazugságaim. Az elrablómnak, az Árnylidércnek is megvannak a saját titkai. Az uralma alatt álló árnyak szabadulásra vágynak - más arcok, más személyek, amelyek közül több is szívesen végezne velem. A tél már a falak alatt toporog, sötétség fenyeget. Az egyetlen módja a nővérem és a birodalom megmentésének, ha megölöm Eidolont... és az Árnylidércet, aki ellopta a szívemet. Az árnyak megvédenek és oltalmaznak, ha épp nem vérre szomjaznak Abigail Owen óriási sikerű fantasysorozatában.

Bogowie uwielbiają bawić się nami, zwykłymi śmiertelnikami. I co sto lat urządzają sobie rozrywkę… na śmierć i życie Mieszkańcy Olimpu nigdy mnie nie lubili, a zwłaszcza Zeus. Dlatego staram się schodzić kapryśnym bogom z oczu, pracuję przy rozliczeniach w Bractwie Złodziei i żyję sobie po cichu z moją klątwą. Nic z tego nie jest łatwe, szczególnie w San Francisco, mieście władcy piorunów, ale jakoś daję radę. A w każdym razie dawałam, aż pewnej nocy zauważył mnie inny bóg. Ten najgorszy. Hades.

Hades gra według własnych zasad… A śmierć wygrywa zawsze bez względu na koszt. Idealna powieść dla miłośnikówIgrzysk śmierci, Percy’ego Jacksona, greckiej mitologii, urban fantasy i… płomiennych romansów!
