Il re strega
Dopo essere stato assassinato e imprigionato in un'elaborata trappola acquatica, inconsapevole del passare del tempo e di ogni altra cosa, Kai si risveglia per rendersi conto di essere in balia di un mago che vuole rubare i suoi poteri per sfruttarli a suo vantaggio. Una pessima idea, quella del mago. Ma perché Kai si è ritrovato in questa situazione? Cosa è cambiato nel mondo dopo che è stato assassinato? E perché la Coalizione del Mondo Nascente sembra stare diventando sempre più importante e influente? Kai dovrà stringersi quanto più possibile ai suoi alleati per attingere a tutta la sua magia del dolore, se vuole anche solo tentare di rispondere a una sola di queste domande. Ma le risposte non saranno di suo gradimento. Das Urheberrecht an bibliographischen und produktbeschreibenden Daten und an den bereitgestellten Bildern liegt bei Informazioni Editoriali, I.E.
