The triumphant conclusion to the magnificent Liveship Traders series.

If the city is to survive, Ronica Vestrit must unite all its peoples - both Trader and Tattooed - and liberate the city once and for all; but Companion Serilla has a different agenda, and is seeking to establish her own power base. Althea and Brashen are finally at sea together, sailing the liveship Paragon into pirate waters in a last-ditch effort to rescue the Vestrit family liveship, Vivacia, stolen by the Pirate king, Kennit; but there is mutiny brewing in their rag-tag crew; and in the mind of the mad ship itself...

If Wintrow dies, Kennit fears that Vivacia will lose her fragile sanity: a loss that will also threaten his dreams of power and glory. So he strikes a deal with the ship. And soon the waters around the Vivacia are seething with giant serpents, following the liveship as it sails to its destiny. Majestic and sweeping, Ship of Destiny concludes the tale of the Vestrit family and their part in the history of The Liveship Traders with a soaring and triumphant finale to this unique series of epic fantasy.

Når klonerne slippes løs, kan hverken mennesker eller drager stoppe dem. Dragen Ember Hill troede aldrig at hun skulle blive forelsket – allermindst i et menneske og tidligere dragedræber. Da den hun har allerkærest dør, er det et tab af dimensioner. Med hans død afsløres et omfattende forræderi; intet hun vidste om drageorganisationen Talon, har været sandt. Det være sig om menneskene, oprørerne, og om sig selv – og hvad hun er i stand til at gøre og føle. Midt i den dybeste sorg, sværger Ember, at hun vil kæmpe med oprørerne og dragedræberne i Sankt George- ordenen – og mod sin egen tvillingebror Dante, Talons nye leder, som vil slippe den største trussel, som drageverdenen endnu har set, løs. "Julie Kagawas serie om de menneskelige drager har alt, hvad en god historie kræver (...)."- Weekendavisen

Han har hverken set sin mor eller sin søster siden dengang, og hans far – som han nu flygter fra – har plantet en sælsom spådom hos ham.”KAFKA PÅ STRANDEN er Romankunst med stort R – komplekst, fabulerende, mangestemmigt, dybt, og slet, slet ikke til at lægge fra sig, når man får begyndt.”Per Krogh Hansen, Berlingske TidendeHaruki Murakami er født i Kyoto i 1949.

I 2006 modtog han Franz Kafka-prisen, der også er blevet kaldt ‘den lille nobelpris’.

That Mars has been habitable - and inhabited - for generations, by a class of people calling themselves the Golds. A class of people who look down at Darrow and his fellows as slave labour, to be exploited and worked to death without a second thought. Until the day Darrow, with the help of a mysterious group of rebels, disguises himself as a Gold and infiltrates their society.
