Durante siglos, los reyes de la Marca han vigilado esta frontera septentrional, atentos a todo lo que pueda intentar traspasarla. Esta sagrada mision prevalece sobre los vaivenes de los imperios del sur, pero la Marca no siempre ha podido mantenerse alejada de los conflictos con sus vecinos, y se encuentra en un momento de especial debilidad. Por desgracia, justo ahora la Linea de Sombra ha comenzado a moverse, invadiendo su territorio...En el castillo de Marca Sur, el principe regente Kendrick se ha hecho cargo del trono desde que su padre, el rey Olin, fue llamado al sur con promesas de alianza y se encontro secuestrado en la antiquisima ciudad de Hierosol. Los nobles del reino, soliviantados por los tributos necesarios para reunir el rescate, complican con sus exigencias el gobierno de la Marca. La visita del embajador de Hierosol portando cartas de Olin y un nuevo acuerdo para el pago del rescate tendra consecuencias imprevisibles para el reino.Especialmente para los mellizos Barrick y Briony, los hermanos menores del regente. El melancolico Barrick tiene un brazo tullido y esconde un oscuro secreto relacionado con el rey, pero las circunstancias no le permitiran mantenerse apartado del juego por el poder. Y Briony, una muchacha independiente y aventurera, se encontrara atrapada en el papel que su condicion de princesa demanda de ella, y debera luchar por zafarse de quienes desean convertirla en un peon de los pactos dinasticos.Mientras que en el remoto sur el poderoso dios-emperador conocido como autarca prepara sus legiones para la invasion del norte, al otro lado de la Linea de Sombra los misteriosos qar ponen en marcha sus planes para la reconquista de las tierras perdidas. El menguado reino de la Marca tendra que enfrentarse a ambas amenazas al mismo tiempo, sabiendo que si fracasa no solo pereceran todos sus habitantes, sino que habra llegado el fin del mundo de los hombres.

Darkness has fallen on the lands of the sun as an army of misshapen fey spill out from beyond the Shadowline. At their head is Yasammez, dark creature of nightmare.

Meanwhile Barrick, heir to Southmarch and cursed with madness, has crossed the Shadowline into the realm of his people's ancient enemy. There are stranger things than death here ? stranger and older. Much further south, shadow is also falling over the reign of the Autarch, god-king, and supreme ruler.

Ancient blood flows through her veins and she will become a unique weapon in the fight against her greatest terror. And beyond the ken of all but a chosen few, the gods are awakening and the world is changing

Where does an angel go when he's been to Hell and back? Renegade angel Bobby Dollar does not have an easy afterlife. After surviving the myriad gruesome dangers Hell oh-so-kindly offered him, Bobby has returned empty-handed - his demon girlfriend Casmira, the Countess of Cold Hands, is still in the clutches of Eligor, Grand Duke of Hell. Some hell of a rescue. Forced to admit his failure, Bobby ends up back at his job as an angel advocate. That is, until Walter, an old angel friend whom Bobby never thought he'd see again, shows up at the local bar. The last time he saw Walter was in Hell, when Walter had tried to warn him about one of Bobby's angel superiors. But now Walter can't remember anything, and Bobby doesn't know whom to trust. Turns out that there's corruption hidden within the higher ranks of Heaven and Hell, but the only proof Bobby has is a single feather. Before he knows it, he's in the High Hall of Heavenly Judgement - no longer a bastion for the moral high ground, if it ever was, but instead just another rigged system - on trial for his immortal soul...

Una flota se dirige velozmente hacia el norte. En ella, el autarca de Xis, completada su conquista de la legendaria Hierosol, transporta como prisionero al rey Olin de la Marca. Su propósito es desconocido, pero una cosa es segura: Olin no sobrevivira a la realizacion de los dementes planes del autarca.Entre tanto, su hija, la princesa Briony, ha encontrado refugio temporal de sus parientes usurpadores en la sofisticada corte de Tessis, aunque el intrincado nudo de las intrigas palaciegas es al menos tan letal como los peligros del camino que ha dejado atras.Mas alla de la Linea de Sombra, en tierras de los qar o crepusculares, su mellizo Barrick prosigue su camino en pos de una llamada inaudible, internandose cada vez mas profundamente en un paisaje de locura y pesadilla.Y en la asediada fortaleza de Marca Sur, el capitan de la guardia Ferras Vansen, el cavernero Silex y el medico Chaven se enfrentan a la mas temible amenaza de los qar: una invasion desde las mismisimas raices de la tierra.Poco a poco, los misterios del pasado del continente de Eion se van revelando, y la naturaleza y propositos de los antiguos dioses dormidos se ponen de manifiesto. Su despertar puede devolver el equilibrio al mundo... o ser el inicio de un milenio de sufrimiento y oscuridad."Shadowmarch es una oda a los amantes de la fantasia mas clasica, en la que la magia parecia algo misterioso, una materia que unicamente los mas valientes se atrevian a estudiar (...) El autor baila con el lenguaje y los acontecimientos igual que Iñigo Montoya manejaba su espada ante el asesino de su padre."La Espada en la Tinta
