The Baron of Magister Valley - Steven Brust

Descriere The Baron of Magister Valley - Steven Brust

\n \nFrom the vaults of Dragaeran history and the mind of master fantasist Steven Brust--a tale of betrayal and vengeance that is not at all a retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo \n \nReader, you will undoubtedly have had the misfortune of consuming the rotten fruit of fallacies that we--Paarfi of Roundwood (esteemed historian of House of Hawk and exquisite artisan of truths)--borrow our factual recount of Dragaeran history from some obscure fellow who goes by the name Al Dumas or some silly nomenclature of that nature. \n \nThe salacious claims that The Baron of Magister Valley bears any resemblance to a certain nearly fictional narrative about an infamous count are unfounded (we do not dabble in tall tales. The occasional moderately stretched? Yes. But never tall). \n \nOur tale is that of a nobleman who is betrayed by those he trusted, and subsequently imprisoned. After centuries of confinement, he contrives to escape and prepares to avenge himself against his betrayers. \n \nA mirror image of The Count of Monte Cristo, vitrolic naysayers still grouse? Well, that is nearly and utterly false. \n \nAlso by Paarfi of Roundwood: \nThe Khaavren Romances \n1. The Phoenix Guards \n2. Five Hundred Years After \n3. The Paths of the Dead (The Viscount of Adrilankha I) \n4. The Lorde of Castle Black (The Viscount of Adrilankha II) \n5. Sethra Lavode (The Viscount of Adrilankha III)\n
