A powerhouse grimdark fantasy of bloodshed, ambition, and fate, The
House of Sacrifice is the thunderous conclusion to Anna Smith
Spark's Empires of Dust trilogy, which began with The Court of
Broken Knives. Hail Him. Behold Him. Man-killer, life-stealer,
death-bringer, life's thief. All are bound to Him, His word is law.
The night coming, the sudden light that makes the eyes blind,
Golden one, shining, glorious. Life's judgement, life's pleasure,
hope's grave. Marith Altrersyr has won. He cut a path of blood and
vengeance and needless violence around the world and now he rules.
It is time for Marith to put down his sword, to send home his
armies, to grow a beard and become fat. It is time to look to his
own house, and to produce an heir. The King of Death must now learn
to live. But some things cannot be learnt. The spoils of war turn
to ash in the mouths of the Amrath Army and soon they are on the
move again. But Marith, lord of lies, dragon-killer, father-killer,
has begun to falter and his mind decays. How long can a warlord
rotting from within continue to win? As the Army marches on to
Sorlost, Thalia's thoughts turn to home and to the future: a life
grows inside her and it is a precious thing - but it grows weak.
Why must the sins of the father curse the child? A glorious,
ambitious and bloodily brilliant conclusion that threads together a
masterful tapestry of language and story, holding up a piercing
reflection on epic fantasy - and those who love it.
Perfect for fans of Mark Lawrence and R Scott Bakker, The Court of
Broken Knives is the explosive debut by one of grimdark fantasy's
most exciting new voices. They've finally looked at the graveyard
of our Empire with open eyes. They're fools and madmen and like the
art of war. And their children go hungry while we piss gold and
jewels into the dust. In the richest empire the world has ever
known, the city of Sorlost has always stood, eternal and
unconquered. But in a city of dreams governed by an imposturous
Emperor, decadence has become the true ruler, and has blinded its
inhabitants to their vulnerability. The empire is on the verge of
invasion - and only one man can see it. Haunted by dreams of the
empire's demise, Orhan Emmereth has decided to act. On his orders,
a company of soldiers cross the desert to reach the city. Once they
enter the Palace, they have one mission: kill the Emperor, then all
those who remain. Only from ashes can a new empire be built. The
company is a group of good, ordinary soldiers, for whom this is a
mission like any other. But the strange boy Marith who walks among
them is no ordinary soldier. Marching on Sorlost, Marith thinks he
is running away from the past which haunts him. But in the Golden
City, his destiny awaits him - beautiful, bloody, and more terrible
than anyone could have foreseen.

Die Weimarer Republik löste dramatische religionskulturelle
Veränderungen aus. Die Kirchen erlebten sie als Krisen und
Verluste. Doch lagen auch Umbruch und Neuanfang in der Luft:
radikale Suche nach dem Unbedingten, pragmatisches Zutrauen zum
Kompromiss und individuelle Grenzgänge zwischen den Religionen.
Der vorliegende Band dokumentiert diese produktiven Zeiten für
christliche Theologie und jüdische Religionsphilosophie.
