Via Books On the Knob I've found out that Premier Digital Publishing is running a DragonCon promotion with some ebooks available for free on Amazon.
As of now, you can download for free four ebooks by Andre Norton:
In TREY OF SWORDS, book six of the Witch World - Estcarp series, the
past and the future merge as the lost battle of Witch World is fought
again - but this time, it must be won!For as ancient heros walk again by day, so do ancient evils - and it is up to Yonan the weakling, and Crytha, the untrained witch-girl, to halt the Forces of Darkness by the power of the SWORD OF ICE, the SWORD OF SHADOW...and one sword more.
Their fates were bound by their mother's white magic - though darkness and battle strove to drive them apart...It was in the year of the Fire Troll that the sea-raiders struck at High-Hallack and, promise-bound, its sons rose to the defense of their Dale. But where stood amongst their number a youth whom the Dalesmen had merely fostered: Elyn, born of Estcarp, whose birthright was the wisdom of the Wise. But Elyn of Estcarp was still young and, though a warrior impatient for battle, his unscarred sword had learnt little of the dark treacheries of war. In his most desperate hour of danger Elyn's stoutest weapon would prove his brave witch-sister Elys. Together witch and warrior would face perils beyond the laws of our everyday stars!
In Arvon the ancient powers answer those who know how to call, and the
blood of the wereriders flows in the veins of those who are both man and
cat. Kethan was heir to the great house of Car Do Prawn because his mother's evil Wise Woman had tampered with another's birthright.
But one day Kethan was given a belt of incredible beauty and great power. From that moment, his future was again in other hands - and his body in a strange new form...
In this great science fiction novel, Andre Norton brings to new life the
legendary King Arthur and the wizard Merlin in the light of modern
knowledge of a lost period of history and today’s understanding of
science and interplanetary communication. Yet, as in all Norton’s wonder
novels, this is a fabulous adventure in fantasy. Here is Merlin, half
star-born, gifted with the advice of an alien intelligence, given the
task of renewing civilization and starting humanity again up the ladder
to the stars. Here is Arthur, unaware of his stellar heritage. And here
too, is the Lady of the Lake, akin to Merlin in that she is also a
listener to the music of the spheres and obedient to a celestial command
post.
Este tal Andre Norton... me da un poco de repelús...
ResponderEliminarNo he leído nada suyo, pero Andre Norton es una de las autoras (sí, autora) de fantasía (especialmente juvenil) más reconocidas. Hasta tiene un premio a su nombre, si no recuerdo mal.
