La casa de cadenas (Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos #Volumen 4)
by Steven EriksonLa casa de cadenas es la cuarta entrega de la saga «Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos», la decalogía, originalmente publicada entre 1999 y 2011, que ha convertido al escritor canadiense Steven Erikson en una de las mayores voces de fantasía épica contemporánea. Desde entonces, esta obra maestra de la imaginación está considerada una de las series más ambiciosas que ha dado el género en los últimos años. Este volumen comienza en el norte de Genabackis, el día que empieza el extraordinario destino de Karsa Orlong, uno de los tres guerreros salvajes que descienden las montañas para atacar las tierras del sur. Pasados unos años, Tavore, la inexperta consejera de la emperatriz, debe adiestrar a doce mil soldados para convertirlos en una fuerza capaz de desafiar a las hordas de la elegida, Sha'ik, que aguardan en el desierto. Allí, sus caudillos están enzarzados en una lucha de poder que amenaza al alma de la rebelión, mientras que Sha'ik se obsesiona con la que cree que es su mayor enemiga: su hermana. Reseñas:«Actualmente se está escribiendo la mejor fantasía épica. "Juego de Tronos" y "Malaz: El Libro de los Caídos" son las sagas más importantes de este nuevo fenómeno, y mucho más satisfactorias que la fantasía que nació al amparo de Tolkien.»The New York Times «Este es el mayor trabajo de Steven Erikson hasta el momento, y eso es mucho decir.»Fantasy Book Review
