Deprived at a single blow of their Emperor, of the Orb that is the focus of the Empire's power, of their capital city with its Impe-rial bureaucracy, and of a great many of their late fellow citizens, the surviving Dragaerans have been limping through a long Interregnum, bereft even of the simple magic and sorcery they were accustomed to use in everyday life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow the descendants and successors of the great ad-venturers Khaavren, Pel, Aerich, and Tazendra are growing up in this seemingly diminished world, con-vinced, like their elders, that the age of adventures is over and nothing interesting will ever happen to them. They are, of course, wrong . . . .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor even deprived of magic, Dragaerans fight, plot, and conspire as they breathe, and so do their still-powerful gods. The enemies of the Empire prowl at its edges, in-scrutable doings are up at Dzur Mountain...and, unex-pectedly, a surviving Phoenix Heir, young Zerika, is discovered—setting off a chain of swashbuckling events that will remake the world yet again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe Khaavren Romances, set in the world of Vlad Taltos's Dragaera:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1. \u003ci\u003eThe Phoenix Guards\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2. \u003ci\u003eFive Hundred Years After\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3. \u003ci\u003eThe Paths of the Dead (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Vol. 1)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4. \u003ci\u003eThe Lord of Castle Black (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Vol. 2)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5. \u003ci\u003eSethra Lavode (The Viscount of Adrilankha, Vol. 3)\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Baron of Magister Valley\u003c\/i\u003e [standalone]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tor Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47107162833136,"sku":"9781429997331","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781429997331_p0.jpg?v=1763750059","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781429997331","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
