Chaos Unleashed
by Drew KarpyshynThe Demon Cycle meets The Wheel of Time in this action-packed adventure! From New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed videogame writer Drew Karpyshyn comes the third and final novel in an original epic fantasy trilogy for fans of Terry Goodkind, Peter V. Brett, and Brandon Sanderson. Four unlikely champions, each touched with Chaos magic at birth, are all that can stop the return of Daemron the Slayer, a hero who became a god--and then a demon. Exiled by the Old Gods, Daemron has long plotted his vengeful return. Now that moment is at hand, as the barrier imprisoning him--the Legacy--crumbles. Armed with mighty Talismans, the four champions--Keegan, a wizard beset with self-doubt; Cassandra, a seer terrified by her own future; Scythe, a peerless warrior whose only weak spot is a broken heart; and Vaaler, a prince without a kingdom--seek the Keystone, a fabled place where, or so it is said, the Legacy can be restored. But the plots of the Slayer are cunning and deep, and even the most noble heart can be twisted by the tainted magic of Chaos--as Keegan, Cassandra, Scythe, and Vaaler will soon discover. Praise for Drew Karpyshyn's Chaos Born series "Karpyshyn's doom-laden spin on myth and magic invigorates ancient archetypes . . . as if Michael Moorcock's decadence were filtered through J.R.R. Tolkien's heroism."--Publishers Weekly, on The Scorched Earth "Thoroughly entertaining . . . an engrossing story that's easy to dive into and hard to leave."--Roqoo Depot, on Children of FireFrom the Trade Paperback edition.."--RT Book Reviews "Children of Fire stands on its own as a thoroughly entertaining tale. The book strikes a perfect balance between character driven storytelling and rich world building."--Roqoo Depot "[Karpyshyn] is truly a master of world building. . . . I would recommend this title to any fan of the genre."--Among the Wreckage "Compulsively readable, wildly entertaining."--A Girl, A Boy and A Blog "Children of Fire is engrossing, and full of characters that are modern. . . . I thoroughly enjoyed Children of Fire and look forward for the next two books."--FANgirl Blog"Drew Karpyshyn weaves a rich, contrasting tapestry of epic story and doom. Gripping and compelling from first page to last, Children of Fire is a dark-chocolate fantasy; delightfully biting and delectable at once. Four ill-fated children born under a sign of chaos and flame carried me on a journey into an intriguing world of shadowy wonder. It is a spellbinding epic told with masterful craft. Well done, Drew!"--Tracy Hickman, New York Times bestselling co-author of the Dragonlance and Death Gate seriesFrom the Hardcover edition.

Chaos: Une romance paranormale de harem inversé (La bibliothèque des Profanes #1)
by Jb TrepagnierUne bibliothèque sentiente, un dieu primordial, et une bibliothécaire qui en a assez de vos absurdités. La Bibliothèque du Profane possède tout ce que votre cœur noir désire. Mais nous n'accordons pas de carte de bibliothèque à n'importe qui. Besoin de convoquer un démon ? De relever les morts ? Un clan de vampires qui vous dérange ? Vous appréciez l'érotisme de loup-garou particulièrement épicé ? La Bibliothèque du Profane a tout cela, mais tous ne peuvent pas gérer son contenu (Certaines personnes ne peuvent pas supporter leur érotisme de loup-garou). Cela fait cinq ans que je suis bibliothécaire ici et quand je dis que j'ai tué pour obtenir ce poste, je ne fais pas de l'humour noir. Vous ne pouvez pas emprunter nos livres. Certains d'entre eux sont sentients et n'apprécient guère cela. Nous avons des salles pour exécuter les sorts ou, par les temps qui courent, nous avons également une photocopieuse (les copies sont payantes). Quand une sorcière est entrée en disant qu'elle avait besoin de faire un peu de nécromancie, je ne l'ai pas remise en question. On ne lui aurait pas accordé de carte de bibliothèque si elle s'apprêtait à faire revenir quelqu'un de vraiment mauvais. J'ai aidé avec la nécromancie parce que c'est simplement mon rôle en tant que bibliothécaire. Sauf que ce n'était pas une résurrection normale. C'était l'incarnation physique du Chaos et quand il s'est réveillé, il m'a vue en premier et maintenant il est accro. Le Chaos personifié est un horrible invité de bibliothèque et il ne veut pas partir avec la sorcière qui l'a ramené. Il s'immisce constamment dans des affaires qui ne le concernent pas et il est vraiment friand de l'érotisme de loup-garou. Je ne peux pas le laisser sortir parce que la Bibliothèque du Profane est conçue pour contenir le Chaos. Le reste du monde ne l'est pas. Il est également désastreux pour garder son identité secrète.
