Trudi Canavan - El Gran Lord

Crónicas del Mago Negro
3. El Gran Lord (The High Lord)

Synopsis:

In the city of Imardin, where those who wield magic wield power, a young street-girl, adopted by the Magician's Guild, finds herself at the centre of a terrible plot that may destroy the entire world . . . Sonea has learned much at the magicians' guild and the other novices now treat her with a grudging respect. But she cannot forget what she witnessed in the High Lord's underground room - or his warning that the realm's ancient enemy is growing in power once more. As Sonea learns more, she begins to doubt her guildmaster's word. Could the truth really be as terrifying as Akkarin claims, or is he trying to trick her into assisting in some unspeakably dark scheme?

Sinopsis:

Sonea ha prosperado notablemente en el gremio de los magos: ha adquirido grandes conocimientos, Regin ha terminado por dejarla en paz y los otros aprendices por fin la respetan. Pero no logra sacarse de la cabeza lo que presenció en la cámara subterránea del Gran Lord Akkarin ni la grave amenaza que se cierne sobre el gremio, y hace bien en no bajar la guardia, porque cuando su buen amigo Cery se ve involucrado en las intrigas de un curioso extranjero, Sonea deberá tomar partido ante los decisivos acontecimientos que se avecinan.
