Klappentext zu „Furies of Calderon “
In this extraordinary fantasy epic, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden Files leads readers into a world where the fate of the realm rests on the shoulders of a boy with no power to call his own...For a thousand years, the people of Alera have united against the aggressive and threatening races that inhabit the world, using their unique bond with the furies elementals of earth, air, fire, water, wood, and metal. But in the remote Calderon Valley, the boy Tavi struggles with his lack of furycrafting. At fifteen, he has no wind fury to help him fly, no fire fury to light his lamps. Yet as the Alerans most savage enemy the Marat horde return to the Valley, Tavi s courage and resourcefulness will be a power greater than any fury, one that could turn the tides of war...

Praise for FURIES OF CALDERON
Jim Butcher s new novel is epic fantasy in the best way, inspired by Tolkien, but not just another imitation. Like Tolkien, Butcher s book understands that even the greatest of stories can be guided by the smallest of people. It s the men and women on the ground, at the cutting edge, who get to decide all the things that really matter. Butcher s book is sharp, fast-moving, full of deadly dangers and double dealing. New York Times bestselling author Simon R. Green
Filled with plot twists and white-knuckled suspense, this is a ripping good yarn that delivers terrific magic and non-stop action. A page-turner all the way.
Deborah Chester, national bestselling author of The King Betrayed
Butcher has created a fascinating world and magic system, and peopled it with some truly engaging characters and intriguing hints

of a great Destiny . . . the start of a promising series. Locus
With strong, likable characters and a graceful storytelling style, this series debut should appeal to fans of epic fantasy. Library Journal
Absorbing fantasy . . . Butcher does a thorough job of world-building, to say nothing of developing his action scenes with an abundance of convincing detail. This page-turner bodes well for future volumes. Publishers Weekly
A real page-turner, with the classic plot of a kingdom threatened by both an outside invader and internal treachery enlivened by an abundance of original details and sheer storytelling gusto . . . A promising series-launcher.

What s not to like about this series? . . . I would, could, have, and will continue to recommend [it] for as long as my breath holds out. It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves. SF Site
Filled with sizzling magic and intrigue . . . will have fans rapidly turning the pages. Booklist
Intense and wild . . . a skillful blend of urban fantasy and noir, sure to satisfy any fan and leave them begging for more. Green Man Review
A haunting, fantastical novel that begins almost as innocently as those of another famous literary wizard named Harry. Publishers Weekly
Few horror, fantasy, or mystery tales get any better than this wonderful plot that smoothly combines all three genres into one novel. BookBrowser
Good fun for fans of dark fantasy mystery. Locus

Autoren-Porträt von Jim Butcher
A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut s Windlass.
