SALVATORE
THE SWORD OF BEDWYR – CRIMSON SHADOW #1
Translation Giorgos Barouxis
For twenty years Erianor has groaned under the yoke of the mage-king Grinspaur, who conquered the land with his demonic powers and with legions of monstrous, one-eyed soldiers. The dwarves and fairy-born elves are slaves; the humans live only slightly better. Lúthien Bentweir, a warrior and son of Count Gachris, is far too young to understand the tyranny of Grinspaur.
One night, however, he restores justice after the murder of a friend and becomes a fugitive in order to escape the king’s assassins. Lúthien, brave but innocent due to his youth and his previously sheltered life, meets the small but extremely clever thief William de Barrows, who becomes his teacher in the free and dangerous life he has chosen to live from now on. Together with the remarkable thief and a beautiful, exotic girl, he will face Cyclopeans—one-eyed beast-men—dragons, and strange beings, in a chain of adventures that will keep the reader captivated from the first to the last page.
