Monsters in the Mist - Wacht, Peter

. .

Résumé :
For four strangers, what started as an exciting journey takes a deadly turn. A mist creeping down from the north brings hidden terrors. And they might be the only ones who can stop the evil threatening to smother New Caledonia. Jakob Kestrel fled his home under a shadow of suspicion, taking with him an ancient relic. The Territories were supposed to be his chance for a better life. Now he's on the run again, and the slavers will be the least of his worries when he encounters the monsters in the Murk. Still on their way to the Territories, Bryen and Aislinn begin to lose hope for their new beginning. Attacked by sea dragons, they have no choice but to seek refuge in the Jagged Islands, where a deadly menace awaits. Talia Carlomin took to the seas to avenge her father's death by challenging the pirates terrorizing the coast of New Caledonia. In her quest, she encounters creatures made of nightmares. Her burning desire? Learning how to kill them. Can they unravel the sinister plot that's in play before the dark mist covers the Territories? Find out how fate will tie them together in this second book of the new epic fantasy by bestselling author Peter Wacht. The Tales of the Territories are part of the universe of The Realms of the Talent and the Curse.

Sommaire:
Best-selling author Peter Wacht began to write the epic fantasy stories he loved to read when he exhausted what was available in the bookstores that he used to haunt. He always includes adventure, humor, a few twists, a bunch of fights (magic and steel), and a little romance, along with a few good monsters. But for him a good fantasy always comes down to engaging characters. With that in mind, he likes to focus on the reluctant hero, a man or woman not seeking glory, but rather seeking to help others and challenge the evil plaguing the world he's created, The Realms of the Talent and the Curse. Having completed The Sylvan Chronicles, The Tales of Caledonia, and The Tales of the Territories series, he is working on Legend of the Dragon Lord and his first urban fantasy series, The Fallen Knight....
