Bücher von Catherynne M. Valente

An official tie-in to the hit video game Mass Effect: Andromeda by James Tiptree Jr. and Locus Award-winner Catherynne M. Valente.

So lange sie sich erinnern können, haben die beiden Endermen Fin und Mo im mysteriösen "Ende" gelebt. Am Rande der großen Endermen-Stadt Talos erkunden sie ihre Welt unter dem wachsamen Blick des mächtigen Enderdrachen und der anderen Endermen. Sie haben alles, was sie brauchen und wissen alles, was sie über ihre Welt wissen müssen - bis sie auf die Fremden aus einer anderen Dimension treffen. Die Invasoren heißen Menschen und sie sind gekommen, um den Enderdrachen zu töten. Fin und Mo sind bereit, ihre Welt vor den Eindringlingen zu schützen, aber als sie sich den Menschen gegenübersehen, stellen sie fest, dass viele Dinge nicht so sind, wie sie immer gedacht haben. Unvorbereitet sind die Zwillinge mitten in einem Krieg zwischen den Endermen und den Menschen gefangen und ihre Zukunft ist ungewiss.

A glorious retelling of the Russian folktale Marya Morevna and Koschei the Deathless from Catherynne M. Valente, set in a mysterious version of St. Petersburg during the first half of the 20th century Koschei the Deathless is to Russian folklore what devils or wicked witches are to European culture: a menacing, evil figure; the villain of countless stories which have been passed on through story and text for generations. But Koschei has never before been seen through the eyes of Catherynne Valente, whose modernized and transformed take on the legend brings the action to modern times, spanning many of the great developments of Russian history in the twentieth century.Deathless, however, is no dry, historical tome: it lights up like fire as the young Marya Morevna transforms from a clever child of the revolution, to Koschei's beautiful bride, to his eventual undoing. Along the way there are Stalinist house elves, magical quests, secrecy and bureaucracy, and games of lust and power. All told, Deathless is a collision of magical history and actual history, of revolution and mythology, of love and death, which will bring Russian myth back to life in a stunning new incarnation.At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

A handsome young man arrives in St Petersburg at the house of Marya Morevna. He is Koschei, the Tsar of Life, and he is Marya's fate. For years she follows him in love and in war, and bears the scars. But eventually Marya returns to her birthplace - only to discover a starveling city, haunted by death. Deathless is a fierce story of life and death, love and power, old memories, deep myth and dark magic, set against the history of Russia in the twentieth century. It is, quite simply, unforgettable.
