New Releases by Tanya Huff

Ex-flic, Vicki Nelson a dû quitter la police de Toronto parce qu''elle perd la vue. Devenue détective privé, elle semble vouée aux enquêtes peu banales. Cette fois, c''est son ami Henry Fitzroy - bâtard de Henry VIII, ancien duc de Richmond et accessoirement vampire - qui lui demande d''aider ses amis, Rose Heerkens et son frère jumeau, membres d''une famille de loups-garous pacifiques. En effet, quelqu''un a découvert leur nature secrète et s''acharne à les abattre, avec des balles en argent. Bien sûr, pas question d''aller voir la police. Vicki est donc leur seul recours.

Between the covers of this "double-faced flipover" book, you''ll find two complete collections of Tanya Huff''s comical short stories featuring Magdelene (the world''s most powerful and laziest wizard) and Terazin (a top-notch thief). "Stealing Magic is charming, funny, and once again proves that Huff has no regard for the conventions and boundaries of genre... the genre is turned on its head, and to hilarious effect. The Magdelene stories in Stealing Magic are certainly some of the few ''high fantasy'' short works that I have enjoyed recently." - Challenging Destiny Stealing Magic is both appealing and amusing, and belongs in everyone''s fantasy collection.

From Merlin to Gandalf, from medicine men to witch doctors, there have always been those who look beyond the everyday world, seeking out secrets far beyond mortal ken. They have held the power of life and death over their followers, have been advisers to the mightiest of rulers. Some have grown proud beyond their abilities and finally met their bane. Others have fulfilled their destiny and gone on to realms beyond our own. And all of them, whether they have followed the paths of good or evil, have captured the imagination of fantasy lovers everywhere. So let yourself be caught up in the magical enchantments of such word sorcerers as Dennis McKiernan, Josepha Sherman, Jane Lindskold, Mickey Zucker Reichert, Michelle West, Andre Norton, Diana Paxson, Jody Lynn Nye, John DeChancie, Jane Yolen, and Tanya Huff as they conjure up spellbinding visions of worlds--and wizards--previously undreamed of!
