Survival is the only currency... For centuries, the vast Ironship Trading Syndicate relied on drake blood—and the extraordinary powers it confers to those known as the Blood-blessed—to fuel and protect its empire. But when the drake blood lines began to fail, a perilous expedition was mounted to secure them. Claydon Torcreek survived the fraught mission through uncharted lands in pursuit of a myth that might have secured his people’s future. Instead he found a nightmare. The legendary White Drake was awoken from a millennia-long slumber, with a thirst to reduce the world of men to ashes, and the power to compel an army of Spoiled slaves to do it. Spurred on by a vision he desperately hopes he can trust, Clay and rebel naval officer Corrick Hilemore hijack a warship and head towards the icy southern seas, searching for an ancient secret that may give them and their allies a fighting chance. They are aided on another front by Blood-blessed agent Lizanne Lethridge. The spy and assassin will use her diplomatic status to infiltrate deep into enemy territory on a quest for a device to save them all. As the world burns around them, and the fires of revolution are ignited, these few Blood-blessed are the last hope for all of civilisation.

Von vielen Geheimnissen und Widersprüchen ist der Untergang der Stadt Kethia umrankt. Der legendäre Krieger und König Tavurek führte sie einst in den Krieg gegen das volarianische Reich. Ein Bericht von Lord Vernier, dem Chronisten der Rabenschatten-Reihe. König Tavurek, der in seiner Jugend das Töten in den Kämpfen gegen die Piraten lernte, ist mit vielen Gaben gesegnet. Die hervorstechendste ist sein Hass auf die Volarianer und die Kompromisslosigkeit, mit der er ihn auslebt: »Der Speerfisch verhandelt nicht mit der Ziege.« Vom Volk und den Söldnern wird er so sehr verehrt, dass sie bereit sind, sogar ohne Sold zu kämpfen und zu sterben. Da prophezeit einer der Priester Kethias: Die Stadt wird den Flammen erliegen und Volar wird aus ihrer Asche hervorgehen. Der vom Wahn besessene Tavurek meint aber die Stimme der Götter zu hören, die ihm sagt, dass er ihr Werkzeug sei. Dieser Band enthält des Weiteren die Erzählungen »Der Lord Collector« und »Die Herrin der Krähen«, in welcher der Leser dem Straßenjungen Frentis aus »Das Lied des Blutes« wieder begegnet.

Het Vuur van de Draak is het eerste deel van Anthony Ryans trilogie Draconis Memoria. Ryan schreef eerder In de Schaduw van de Raaf. Al decennialang worden de landen van de IJzerschip Handelsmaatschappij verdedigd door Bloedgezegenden – mannen en vrouwen die in staat zijn de krachten uit het bloed van wilde draken te sturen. De loyaliteit van elitespionnen en huurmoordenaars hebben ervoor gezorgd dat de Handelsmaatschappij nu een van de grootste machten in de wereld is. Maar er dreigt een crisis. De drakenbloedlijnen worden steeds zwakker, en een oorlog met het Corvantijnse Keizerrijk lijkt onvermijdelijk. De enige hoop voor de Handelsmaatschappij ligt in de mythe van een legendarische Witte Draak wiens krachtige bloed misschien wel het tij van de oorlog kan doen keren – als hij al bestaat. De taak om dit legendarische beest te vinden, ligt in de handen van Cleemond Torkreek, een kruimeldief en ongeregistreerde Bloedgezegende. Cleemond heeft door de jaren heen een hoop kostbare zaken in zijn handen gehad (veel daarvan illegaal), maar niets zoiets waardevols als de toekomst van de complete IJzerschip Handelsmaatschappij. Anthony Ryan (1970) werd geboren in Schotland, maar bracht het grootste deel van zijn leven door in Londen. Na kort gewerkt te hebben als ambtenaar besloot hij schrijver te worden, en met ongekend succes: de trilogie In de Schaduw van de Raaf werd een internationale bestseller. Het Vuur van de Draak is het eerste deel van een nieuwe reeks. ‘Anthony Ryan heeft de gave zijn wereld tot leven te brengen met de meest memorabele personages, een meeslepende schrijfstijl en een ijzersterke plot.’ FantasyWereld.nl ‘Het Vuur van de Draak is een geweldig boek. Het overstijgt alle fantasy-genres en weet je vanaf de eerste bladzijde op te pakken en mee te nemen op een fantastisch avontuur.’ Chris Janssen, Boek en Buro Ede ''Spannende epische fantasy die het genre ontstijgt.''

Třetí díl trilogie Stín krkavce. Vélin Al Sorna musí pomoci vrátit Říši Královně. Po boji o holý život má královna Lyrna za úkol odrazit vpád volarské armády a znovu dobýt nezávislost Sjednoceného království. Aby dosáhla svých cílů, musí udělat víc než jen shromáždit své věrné příznivce. Musí se spojit se silami, které jsou jí odporné, a přivést válku k branám nepřátel. Zajistit vítězství má Vélin Al Sorna, avšak jeho cesta je plná obtíží. Volarská armáda má na své straně tajemného Spojence, který svým služebníkům nabízí dar věčného života. Pokud má království zvítězit, musí Vélin Al Sorna Spojence zničit. Jenže porazit protivníka, jehož není možné zabít, je téměř nesplnitelný úkol, zvlášť když Vélinova píseň krve, mystická síla, která z něj udělala slavného bojovníka, zlověstně umlkla… ----- Dokonalé zakončení mistrovské trilogie. - Fantasy Book Review Velkolepé finále jedné z nejlepších debutových fantasy trilogií, jaké jsem kdy četl.

The New York Times bestselling Raven’s Shadow Trilogy was a perfect read for “fans of broadscale epic fantasy along the lines of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series and George R. R. Martin’s Song of Ice and Fire novels.”* Now, Anthony Ryan begins a new saga, The Draconis Memoria... Throughout the vast lands controlled by the Ironship Trading Syndicate, nothing is more prized than the blood of drakes. Harvested from captive or hunted Reds, Greens, Blues and Blacks, it can be distilled into elixirs that bestow fearsome powers on the rare men and women known as the Blood-blessed. But not many know the truth: that the lines of drakes are weakening. If they fail, war with the neighboring Corvantine Empire will follow swiftly. The Syndicate’s last hope resides in whispers of the existence of another breed of drake, far more powerful than the rest, and the few who have been chosen by fate to seek it. Claydon Torcreek is a petty thief and an unregistered Blood-blessed who finds himself pressed into service by the Protectorate and sent to wild, uncharted lands in search of a creature he believes is little more than legend. Lizanne Lethridge is a formidable spy and assassin facing gravest danger on an espionage mission deep into the heart of enemy territory. And Corrick Hilemore is the second lieutenant of an Ironship cruiser whose pursuit of ruthless brigands leads him to a far greater threat at the edge of the world. As lives and empires clash and intertwine, as the unknown and the known collide, all three must fight to turn the tide of a coming war, or drown in its wake. *Library Journal

The thrilling conclusion to the “deftly and originally executed” (Booklist) New York Times bestselling Raven’s Shadow trilogy from the author of Blood Song and Tower Lord. After fighting back from the brink of death, Queen Lyrna is determined to repel the invading Volarian army and regain the independence of the Unified Realm. To accomplish her goals she must not only rally her loyal supporters, but also align herself with forces that possess the strange and varied gifts of the Dark, and take the war to her enemy’s doorstep. Victory rests on the shoulders of Vaelin Al Sorna, Battle Lord of the Realm. However, the Volarians have a new weapon on their side that Vaelin must destroy if the Realm is to prevail: a mysterious Ally with the ability to grant unnaturally long life to his servants. And defeating one who cannot be killed is a nearly impossible challenge, especially when Vaelin’s blood-song, the mystical power that has made him the epic fighter he is, has gone ominously silent…

Why do African Americans have exceptionally high rates of hypertension, diabetes, and obesity? Is it their genes? Their disease-prone culture? Their poor diets? Such racist explanations for racial inequalities in metabolic health have circulated in medical journals for decades. Blood Sugar analyzes and challenges the ways in which “metabolic syndrome” has become a major biomedical category that medical researchers have created to better understand the risks high blood pressure, blood sugar, body fat, and cholesterol pose to people. An estimated sixty million Americans are well on the way to being diagnosed with it, many of them belonging to people of color. Anthony Ryan Hatch argues that the syndrome represents another, very real crisis and that its advent signals a new form of “colorblind scientific racism”—a repackaging of race within biomedical and genomic research. Examining the cultural discussions and scientific practices that target human metabolism of prescription drugs and sugar by African Americans, he reveals how medical researchers who use metabolic syndrome to address racial inequalities in health have in effect reconstructed race as a fixed, biological, genetic feature of bodies—without incorporating social and economic inequalities into the equation. And just as the causes of metabolic syndrome are framed in racial terms, so are potential drug treatments and nutritional health interventions. The first sustained social and political inquiry of metabolic syndrome, this provocative and timely book is a crucial contribution to the emerging literature on race and medicine. It will engage those who seek to understand how unjust power relations shape population health inequalities and the production of medical knowledge and biotechnologies.

De Vuurkoningin is het derde en laatste deel van Anthony Ryan''s fantasy-reeks In de Schaduw van de Raaf. Koningin Lyrna heeft de bloedige aanslag op Alltor overleefd, en nu moet ze haar strijdmachten verzamelen om de hoofdstad terug te veroveren op de Volariaanse indringers. Maar haar vijanden verdrijven uit het Rijk zal niet genoeg zijn om haar bloedlust te stillen - ze wil ze tot over de oceaan volgen en hun koninkrijk in de as leggen. Om dat voor elkaar te krijgen moet ze haar lot in de handen leggen van de Zevende Orde: mannen en vrouwen die beschikken over angstaanjagende krachten, geboren uit het Duister zelf. Vaelin Al Sorna offert graag zijn leven voor zijn koningin - en misschien moet hij dat ook wel. Maar alleen door de mysterieuze bondgenoot van de Volarianen te ontmaskeren kan hij het tij van de oorlog doen keren. Om dit te bereiken moet Vaelin tot diep in het ijzige noorden trekken, op zoek naar een man die niet kan sterven - en hij moet het doen zonder de hulp van zijn bloedzang, die onheilspellend stil is geworden. Anthony Ryan (1970) schreef met zijn debuut, In de Schaduw van de Raaf, een onverbiddelijke internetbestseller die in tien Europese landen verschijnt. ''Ryan bespeelt alle registers van de epische fantasy-roman: eeuwenoude magie, een duistere omgeving, meedogenloze intriges en verdeelde loyaliteit.''

EMPIRES WILL FALL Queen Lyrna has survived the bloody siege of Alltor. Now she must rally her troops and take back the capital from the Volarian invaders. But driving her hated enemy out of the Realm will not satisfy her lust for vengeance - she wants to pursue them across the ocean and burn their empire to ashes. To do so, she must place her faith in the Seventh Order: men and women who wield terrible powers, born of the Dark itself. Vaelin Al Sorna would sacrifice his life for his queen - and may yet have to. Only by unmasking the Volarians'' mysterious Ally can the tide of war be turned. To this end, Vaelin must travel deep into the icebound north, in search of a man who cannot die - and he must do it without the aid of his blood song, which has fallen ominously silent . . .

Vélinův otec sloužil jako rytíř králi Janusovi, panovníkovi Sjednoceného království, rozhodl se však Vélina zbavit jeho práv a v pouhých deseti letech ho zanechal na prahu Šestého řádu. Chlapec ho za to nenávidí. Během pobytu v řádu se Vélin dozvídá zatím netušené podrobnosti o své matce, která zemřela, když byl ještě dítě. Postupně také odhaluje důvody, jež jeho otce vedly k tomu, že ho řádu svěřil. Jedna pravda je však důležitější než všechny ostatní: Vélina Al Sornu čeká budoucnost, kterou má teprve pochopit. Budoucnost, jež změní nejen království, ale také celý svět.

Deel 2 in de fantasyserie: In de Schaduw van de Raaf. ''Ik had de lessen geleerd van de zweep en de knuppel, en mijn eigen bloed geproefd als het vrijelijk stroomde. Ik had geleerd slaaf te zijn. Zo noemden ze me en dat was ik. Vergeet de onzin die u er later misschien over hebt gehoord of gelezen. Ik ben nooit, op geen enkel moment, een held geweest.'' Hij heeft vele namen. Zwaard van het Rijk, de Jonge Havik, het Zwarte Lemmet. Voor de raadselachtige stammen van het Grote Noordwoud was hij Beral Shak Ur, de Schaduw van de Raaf. Zijn echte naam is Vaelin Al Sorna. Hij is de grootste krijger van zijn tijd. Nu, moe na de verpletterende nederlaag van zijn koning, Janus, en door zijn opvolger benoemd tot Torenheer van de Noordlanden, keert Vaelin huiswaarts. In het koude landschap zoekt hij loutering en vergetelheid, ver weg van de troebelen die het ooit glorieuze Rijk beheersen. Maar voor hen die ooit zijn aangeraakt door het Lied van het Bloed is een rustig bestaan niet weggelegd. Algauw komt Vaelin erachter dat hij het doelwit is van diegenen die weten waartoe hij in staat is. Hij zal wederom zijn zwaard moeten trekken.

Vaelin Al Sorna, der berühmteste Gefangene des Reichs und sein größter Kämpfer, erzählt die atemberaubende Geschichte seines Lebens. Er ist an Bord eines Schiffes, das ihn zu dem Ort bringen soll, an dem es für ihn um Leben und Tod geht. Einst war er von seinem Vater als Zögling in das Kloster des Sechsten Ordens gebracht worden, wo er zum Krieger ausgebildet wurde. Nun sind die Namen, die er sich im Kampf verdient hat, über alle Grenzen hin bekannt: Schwert des Königs, Dunkelklinge, Rabenschatten und am gefürchtetsten: Hoffnungstöter.

In Blood Song, Anthony Ryan introduced readers to “a fascinating world of conflicting religions and the wars fought in the name of those faiths” (Library Journal). Now Ryan’s epic tale continues as Vaelin Al Sorna discovers that there is no escape from the call of destiny… “The blood-song rose with an unexpected tune, a warm hum mingling recognition with an impression of safety. He had a sense it was welcoming him home.” Vaelin Al Sorna, warrior of the Sixth Order, called Darkblade, called Hope Killer. The greatest warrior of his day, and witness to the greatest defeat of his nation: King Janus’s vision of a Greater Unified Realm drowned in the blood of brave men fighting for a cause Vaelin alone knows was forged from a lie. Sick at heart, he comes home, determined to kill no more. Named Tower Lord of the Northern Reaches by King Janus’s grateful heir, he can perhaps find peace in a colder, more remote land far from the intrigues of a troubled Realm. But those gifted with the blood-song are never destined to live a quiet life. Many died in King Janus’s wars, but many survived, and Vaelin is a target, not just for those seeking revenge but for those who know what he can do. The Faith has been sundered, and many have no doubt who their leader should be. The new King is weak, but his sister is strong. The blood-song is powerful, rich in warning and guidance in times of trouble, but is only a fraction of the power available to others who understand more of its mysteries. Something moves against the Realm, something that commands mighty forces, and Vaelin will find to his great regret that when faced with annihilation, even the most reluctant hand must eventually draw a sword.
