Battle Mage: L'eredità di Falco (Fantasy)

by Peter Flannery

Il mondo sta cadendo sotto l’ombra ardente dei Posseduti e solo il potere di un Mago guerriero può salvarlo.
Ma l’antico legame con la razza dei draghi sta venendo meno. Di quelli che rispondono alla convocazione, troppi sono Draghi Neri e i Draghi Neri sono i nemici dell’umanità. I Draghi Neri sono pazzi…
Falco, l’unica persona che potrà salvare il mondo dalla catastrofe, è un debole in un mondo di guerrieri, ma peggio ancora è figlio di un pazzo. Spinto dal dolore per avere inconsapevolmente permesso a un’orda di demoni di distruggere il suo villaggio, Falco prende una decisione che lo porterà sull’orlo della disperazione.
Nell’estremo tentativo di fare ammenda, il ragazzo decide di seguire i suoi amici all’Accademia della Guerra, una scuola d’élite dedicata all’eccellenza marziale. Ma mentre gli amici fanno progressi, Falco è ancora incerto. Anche la Regina dubita di lui… Ma, mentre quest’ultima cerca di unire i regni contro i Posseduti, Falco combatte contro le sue paure...

About the author

Peter Flannery lives in a small village in the Scottish Borders with his wife and two young boys. In the summer he fights a war of attrition with the weeds in his vegetable patch. On winter nights he likes to drag his telescope into public places where he can accost complete strangers with a quick view of the heavens. And, if his garden were longer, he would be out there practising archery with his Black Douglas field bow (neighbours and stray cats beware!).

After leaving school he studied art and design before changing tack completely to work in forestry. However, an accident at work left him with a broken neck and (after a year convalescing) he moved into the somewhat less hazardous world of horticulture. He spent several years in the company of plants before switching again to set himself up as a sculptor working for the toy industry.

A design studio in Edinburgh provided the opportunity to move from sculpting to writing and he became the lead writer for Target Games UK Ltd. He produced a host short stories, novellas and background material to support the company’s products and his credits include: The Land of Two Rivers, The Sons of Kronos, The Fallen Land and the Dwarven Labyrinth each of which was translated into seven languages.

He is now an independent writer working on a range of titles for both adults and children. First and Only is his first published novel.
