Mordant's Need (4-Part Version) #2
Los muros de Orison
El castillo de Orison alza sus muros en medio del fascinante paisaje invernal de Mordant: una gran fortaleza cuadrangular, caótica, preparada para resistir todo tipo de ataques. Pero no la indiferencia de su propio Rey, la traición, y los feroces ataques de los monstruos de la Imagería...
En este escenario es en donde se halla de pronto inmersa dama Terisa de Morgan, la mujer que cruzó un espejo mivoda por las súplicas de un joven y la necesidad de afirmar su propia existencia. Agitada ahora entre intrigas, sin comprender exactamente lo que ocurre a su alrededor pero viéndose arrastrada por ello pese a todo; objeto de la desconfianza, el anhelo, el odio y las esperanzas de todos los que la rodean; enfrentada a las lealtades y a la traición; sabiéndose impotente por hacer nada, pero sabiendo también, en lo más profundo de sí misma, que ella tiene que ser el campeón que libere Mordant de su necesidad.
Y mientras tanto, los ejércitos de Alend se preparan a poner sitio a Orison...

About the author
Stephen R. Donaldson
150 books2,732 followersStephen Reeder Donaldson is an American fantasy, science fiction, and mystery novelist; in the United Kingdom he is usually called "Stephen Donaldson" (without the "R"). He has also written non-fiction under the pen name Reed Stephens.
EARLY LIFE AND EDUCATION:
Stephen R. Donaldson was born May 13, 1947 in Cleveland, Ohio. His father, James, was a medical missionary and his mother, Ruth, a prosthetist (a person skilled in making or fitting prosthetic devices). Donaldson spent the years between the ages of 3 and 16 living in India, where his father was working as an orthopaedic surgeon. Donaldson earned his bachelor's degree from The College of Wooster and master's degree from Kent State University.
INSPIRATIONS:
Donaldson's work is heavily influenced by other fantasy authors such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Roger Zelazny, Joseph Conrad, Henry James, and William Faulkner. The writers he most admires are Patricia A. McKillip, Steven Erikson, and Tim Powers.
It is believed that a speech his father made on leprosy (whilst working with lepers in India) led to Donaldson's creation of Thomas Covenant, the anti-hero of his most famous work (Thomas Covenant). The first book in that series, Lord Foul's Bane, received 47 rejections before a publisher agreed to publish it.
PROMINENT WORK:
Stephen Donaldson came to prominence in 1977 with the The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant, which is centred around a leper shunned by society and his trials and tribulations as his destiny unfolds. These books established Donaldson as one of the most important figures in modern fantasy fiction.
PERSONAL LIFE:
He currently resides in New Mexico.
