Ancient beasts imbued with magic and prone to madness. Masters of a world where they are kings among men. Legendary creatures few have ever seen, and lived to tell the tale. Eldritch constructs bent to the service of godlike wizards. From four worlds of magic and mystery, one monster rises above all others to threaten death, offer hope, spread fear, or hoard treasure. No matter what the world, only a dragon can set it, and the imaginations of millions, afire. Four of the most exciting worlds in the history of fantasy come together for the first time in one volume, drawn together at last by the mighty dragons of myth and legend

There is a great disturbance in the Force…. From the sleek ships of the glimmering Coruscant skyscape to the lush gardens of pastoral Naboo, dissent is roiling. The Republic is failing, even under the leadership of Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, elected ten years earlier to save the crumbling government. Separatists threaten war, and the Senate is hopelessly divided, unable to determine whether to raise an army for battle or keep the fragile peace. It is a stalemate that, once broken, could lead to galactic chaos. Mischievous and resolved, courageous to the point of recklessness, Anakin Skywalker has come of age in a time of great upheaval. The nineteen-year-old apprentice to Obi-Wan Kenobi is an enigma to the Jedi Council, and a challenge to his Jedi Master. Time has not dulled Anakin’s ambition, nor has his Jedi training tamed his independent streak. When an attempt on Senator Padmé Amidala's life brings them together for the first time in ten years, it is clear that time also has not dulled Anakin's intense feelings for the beautiful diplomat. The attack on Senator Amidala just before a crucial vote thrusts the Republic even closer to the edge of disaster. Masters Yoda and Mace Windu sense enormous unease. The dark side is growing, clouding the Jedi's perception of the events. Unbeknownst to the Jedi, a slow rumble is building into the roar of thousands of soldiers readying for battle. But even as the Republic falters around them, Anakin and Padmé find a connection so intense that all else begins to fall away. Anakin will lose himself — and his way — in emotions a Jedi, sworn to hold allegiance only to the Order, is forbidden to have

For twenty years, the once proud lands of Eriador have lain, conquered and suffering, under the despotic and demonic power of the evil Wizard-King Greensparrow and his legions of monstrous cyclops soldiers. The dwarves and Fairborn elves are slaves; humans fare little better. Arena fighter Luthien Bedwyr, son of Eorl Gahris of Bedwyrdrin, is too young and privileged to understand Greensparrow’s oppression. Then one night Luthien seeks justice for a friend’s murder, only to become a fugitive from Greensparrow’s thugs. It is a flight that will turn into grand adventure when he befriends the egotistical, irrepressible “highwayhalfling” Oliver deBurrows… and a magical odyssey when the two are recruited by the ancient, exiled wizard Brind’Amour. For now their mission is to battle a dragon and obtain wondrous rewards: most especially a cape that renders its wearer invisible—but leaves behind an indelible scarlet silhouette.

Тёмные эльфы Мензоберранзана (и среди них — могущественный архимаг Громф) последнее слово ещё не сказали. Гибнущее в битвах за власть, чувствующие себя загнанными в угол, дроу могут, в порыве отчаяния, обратиться к демоническим силам из глубин Бездны и высвободить бедствие, к которому даже Подземье окажется не готово.

Черные тучи, скрывавшие небо над северными землями, рассеялись, а орки побежденного Королевства Многих Стрел бежали в свои пещеры. Дзирт и его друзья задумываются о будущем: о семье, о новых приключениях, о новом доме. Дроу Мензоберранзана основали город в недрах Гаунтлгрима, недавно обнаруженного древнего поселения дворфов, которое Бренор Боевой Молот твердо намерен отвоевать. Но, прежде чем темные эльфы сумеют отразить нападение дворфов, им предстоит сразиться друг с другом, а также с армией демонов, которых они, вопреки здравому смыслу, призвали в собственный город. Громф Бэнр, могущественный архимаг Мензоберранзана, обманутый Демонической Паучьей Королевой, в отчаянной попытке захватить власть рискует утратить высокое положение, сверхъестественные способности и даже рассудок. В столице темных эльфов царит хаос

Тьма, павшая на Север, теперь развеяна, и новый день загорается над доблестным Мифриловым Залом, но каким бы светлым и радостным всё не казалось на поверхности, Дриззт с друзьями знает, что зло, прячущееся прямо под их ногами, набирает силы. Тёмные эльфы Мензоберранзана (и среди них – могущественный архимаг Громф) последнее слово ещё не сказали. Гибнущие в битвах за власть, чувствующие себя загнанными в угол, дроу могут, в порыве отчаяния, обратиться к демоническим силам из глубин Бездны и высвободить бедствие, к которому даже Подземье окажется не готово

Героями нового романа станут оружейник Закнафейн До’Урден, отец Дзирта, и его друг Джарлакс Бэнр. Втроем с Героем Севера они будут противостоять новой угрозе вторжения демонов и амбициям Ллос. Но вначале мы заглянем в далёкое прошлое и познакомимся с Верховной матерью дома До'Урден, Мэлис

Заблудившийся во времени и неожиданно воссоединившийся со своим сыном Дзиртом До'Урденом Закнафейн справился с предрассудками, навязанными ему дроу, чтобы помочь сыну сражаться с амбициозной Паучьей Королевой и приливом мрака, который обрушился на Забытые Королевства. Хотя Закнафейн и уцелел в самых сложных битвах, выживание обошлось ему дорогой ценой, а бой ещё далёк от завершения.      Сражаясь с демонами и драйдерами, Закнафейн снова несёт на своих плечах груз всего Мензоберранзана, окружившего Гонтлгрим. Но шансы на выживание для него и его старого друга, наёмника Джарлакса, кажутся невелики. Пойманные в отчаянную и как будто безнадёжную ситуацию, легендарные воины должны заглянуть глубоко внутрь себя, чтобы сразиться с невозможным.      И хотя ноша Закнафейна и так слишком велика для одного из лучших воителей Мензоберранзана, судьба готовит для него новые испытания. Когда события приобретают неожиданный поворот, Закнафейн понимает, что он должен не только победить тьму, но и научиться принимать непредсказуемое: саму жизнь

Подземье. Это место, где царит тьма, где нет теней. Дзирт До'Урден не хочет туда идти. Но благородный дроу должен вернуться. Он снова окажется в Блингденстоуне, городе гномов, где встретит старых друзей, а потом продолжит свой путь в Мензоберранзан. И только оказавшись в городе дроу, Дзирт узнает, какой страшный заговор плетется здесь, угрожая его друзьям в Мифрил Халле. Он найдет друзей там, где меньше всего этого ожидает, и встретится с врагами, которых больше не думал увидеть. Он будет сражаться с чудовищами настолько злобными, что им нет места в мире под солнцем, тогда как душу его будут раздирать противоречивые чувства, охватившие благородного дроу, когда он вернулся на свою наводящую ужас родину. И все это время Дзирту придется жить под тяжестью чувства вины за гибель дорогого друга

Не мога да намеря отговори в Митрил Хол… Привидното спокойствие на Дризт До’Урден не ми показва нищо от бъдещите замисли на елфа. И все пак, в името на моите приятели трябва да узная мрачните му намерения. И така, аз се страхувам, че ми остава само едно място, където да проверя… Подземния мрак. Мястото на зловеща тъмнина, където не съществуват сенки и където Дризт До’Урден не желае никога да види отново. Но благодарния мрачен елф все пак се връща там, за да открие своите прияли в града на гномовете Блингденстоун и да стигне до Мензоберанзан — града на мрачните елфи. И едва тогава той разбира истинските размери на злото, което набира сили и протяга ненаситните си пипала към приятелите му в Митрил Хол
