Shards of Time

Серия: "Nightrunner"

Acclaimed author Lynn Flewelling brings her beloved Nightrunners series to a close - at least for now - with a thrilling novel of murder, mystery, and magic. The governor of the sacred island of Korous and his mistress have been killed inside a locked and guarded room. The sole witnesses to the crime - guards who broke down the doors, hearing the screams from within - have gone mad with terror, babbling about ghosts… and things worse than ghosts. Dispatched to Korous by the queen, master spies Alec and Seregil find all the excitement and danger they could want - and more. For an ancient evil has been awakened there, a great power that will not rest until it has escaped its otherworldly prison and taken revenge on all that lives. And only those like Alec - who have died and returned to life - can step between the worlds and confront the killer... even if it means a second and all too permanent death.

Lynn Flewelling

Lynn Flewelling (born Lynn Elizabeth Beaulieu on October 20, 1958 in Presque Isle, Maine) is a fantasy fiction author, who is perhaps best known for two internationally acclaimed fantasy series: the Nightrunner books and the Tamir Triad.

Biography

Flewelling grew up in northern Maine, United States, and has lived on both coasts and traveled in Europe, all of which show up in synthesized form in her books. She has worked as a teacher, a farm laborer, a house painter, a necropsy technician, sold fine jewelry, and written for newspapers and magazines. She has been married to Douglas Flewelling since 1981, and has two sons. She currently lives in Redlands, California, where she continues to write, and serves as adjunct faculty at the University of Redlands.

Writings

Her first Nightrunner novel, "Luck in the Shadows", was a Locus Magazine Editor's Pick for Best First Novel and a finalist for the Compton Crook Award. Her novels "Traitor's Moon" (2000) and "Hidden Warrior" (2004) were both finalists for the [http://www.spectrumawards.org Spectrum Award] . Her novels are currently published in 13 countries, and in 2005, the first volume of the Japanese language version of "Luck in the Shadows" was published. While her books are best described as mystery or psychological crossover novels, a mix of high and dark fantasy, and she freely admits to wanting to give readers a fun literary ride, Flewelling also incorporates and explores various social issues, most notably gender identity and roles, and human sexuality.
