Content: Nachdem Kihrin den Kaiser von Quur getötet hat, ist er selbst in höchster Gefahr. Er flieht in das Pferdeland Jorat. Dem Schicksal und einem alten Feind scheint er aber nicht entkommen zu können. Kihrin ist ein junger Mann, der von allen gejagt wird. Seit er den Schellenstein zerstört und im Land Quur die Dämonen freigelassen hat, muss er vor dem Zorn eines ganzen Kaiserreichs fliehen, vor allem aber vor seinem alten Feind, dem Zauberer Relos Var. Auf seiner Flucht begegnet er einer geheimnisvollen Joratin namens Janel Theranon, die behauptet, ihn zu kennen. Janel glaubt, dass Relos Var eines der mächtigsten Artefakte der Welt in seinem Besitz hat, einen Eckstein, er heißt "Der Name aller Dinge". Wenn sie Recht hat, dann kann niemand mehr verhindern, dass der alte Zauberer sich holt, was er will. Und er will Kihrin.

Content: Keiner kann gegen das eigene Schicksal gewinnen. "Erzähl mir eine Geschichte." Das Ungeheuer, das ihn bewachte, machte es sich vor Kihrins Kerkerzelle bequem. "Was ist das?", fragte er. "Ein magischer Stein." "Und was kann er?" "Er hört zu. "Und der Junge aus den Elendsvierteln von Quur erzählt. Er erzählt von seinem Leben als Dieb, von seinem blinden Vater und davon, wie ihn ein Prinz für seinen verloren geglaubten Sohn hielt. Er erzählt wie er am Sklavenmarkt verkauft wurde und warum er jetzt in einer düsteren Gefängniszelle sitzt, bewacht von einem Ungeheuer, das zum Plaudern aufgelegt ist. Vielleicht gehört Kihrin ja gar nicht zu den Helden, von denen die alten Lieder erzählen. Vielleicht ist er auch nicht dazu bestimmt, die Welt zu retten..., sondern sie zu vernichten.

Series Statement: Chorus of Dragons

Content: " The most anticipated fantasy debut of the year. In this thunderously good read, prophecy and magic combine in an incredible epic of imperial politics, gods and demons. When destiny calls, there's no fighting back .As a bard's apprentice, Kihrin grew up with tales of legendary deeds. He also steals, desperate to buy a way out of Quur's slums. Then he raids the wrong house, he's marked by a demon and life will never be the same again. Kihrin's plight brings him to the attention of royalty, who claim him as the lost son of their immoral prince. But far from living the dream, Kihrin's at the mercy of his new family's ruthless ambitions. However, escaping his jewelled cage just makes matters worse. Kihrin is horrified to learn he's at the centre of an ancient prophecy. And every side – from gods and demons to dragons and mages – want him as their pawn. Those old stories lied about many things too, especially the myth that the hero always wins.Then again, maybe Kihrin isn't the hero, for he's not destined to save the empire. He's destined to destroy it.The Ruin of Kings is the first book in Jenn Lyons's extraordinary series, A Chorus of Dragons. 'What an extraordinary book . enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it' Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians 'A fantastic page-turner with a heady blend of great characters' John Gwynne, author of A Time of Dread 'A virtually un-put-down-able read'Kirkus Reviews "

Series Statement: A Chorus of Dragons

Content: " Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it. Lev Grossman onThe Ruin of Kings You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe.Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man. Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin. Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var. Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants. And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.

Rezension(10): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: July 8, 2019 In this tepid sequel to The Ruin of Kings , Lyons once again experiments with narrative as demon-cursed Janel Theranon tells her tale to the demigod Kihrin D’mon in a storm shelter, recounting battles with demons, encounters with ancient gods, and a rebellion. There are a handful of familiar characters and a few events that intersect with the first novel, but this is an otherwise parallel adventure that explores a smaller part of the Empire of Quur. Janel and her close friend Brother Qown provide alternating perspectives of their attempt to slay a dragon that was under the control of the wizard Relos Var, and how they led a revolution in the province of Jorat. While previous protagonist Kihrin plays a small part, the focus is on Janel and her close encounters with gods and dragons. Though the complexity of plot and worldbuilding are still present, this second installment tackles smaller problems with far lower stakes, and the climax is less gratifying and coherent. Readers who enjoyed the sweeping epic feel of the first book will find this one disappointing. Agent: Sam Morgan, Foundry Literary + Media. " Rezension(11): "〈a href=http://www.kirkusreviews.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/kirkus_logo.png alt=Kirkus border=0 /〉〈/a〉: August 15, 2019 The second installment in Lyons' Chorus of Dragons saga (The Ruin of Kings, 2019) continues the grand-scale fantasy adventure with a parallel story revolving largely around the demon-tainted noblewoman Janel Theranon, whose heroic exploits helped trigger a revolution. Trapped together in a storm house as a blizzard rages outside, Theranon and her acolyte guide Qown take turns recounting their epic adventure to Kihrin D'Mon, a reincarnated god and protagonist of the first volume. The story involves their attempt to save a massive city--the magical city of Atrine--from destruction by killing the largest dragon the world has ever known. After witnessing the devastation of a smaller city by blue witch-smoke, Theranon realizes all the supernatural chaos and prophecies surrounding the awakening of the dragon are part of a much larger conspiracy that has been meticulously plotted out by a mysterious mastermind. Magic and manipulation abound as Theranon and company desperately race to save the day while wizards, demons, gods, and humans do battle. While the pacing of this second installment struggles in spots--due in part to the repetitive nature of the points of view--there are numerous elements worthy of mention. The intricacy of the storyline, the bombshell plot twists toward the end, and the humorous, snark-filled footnotes are high points, as is the author's talent for descriptive prose. So many images are made memorable by excellent description, including the city of Atrine, the subterranean cave systems of Yor, and the metal dragon Morios. Steel and iron...every metal, a thousand metals, all twisted together in sharp swordlike tangles to form the dragon's body. It resembled a porcupine warped into nightmare, formed by an insane and malevolent god. Also intriguing is the genderfluid culture of Jorat. Theranon, in particular, is a wonderfully complex and endearing character whose gender mutability enriches the narrative tapestry: I am in fact a female man. Simply put: This is top-notch adventure fantasy written for a 21st-century audience--highly recommended. COPYRIGHT(2019) Kirkus Reviews, ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. " Rezension(12): "〈a href=http://lj.libraryjournal.com/ target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/libraryjournal_logo.png alt=Library Journal border=0 /〉〈/a〉: September 1, 2019 Janel Theranon is a young woman who stands as the powerful Count of Tolamer in the Jorat Dominion, a land where gender is fluid and not determined by sex. Some of her power, however, comes from the demon Xaltorath, who spared and cursed her as a child: Janel battles demons every night. As cities in her land face Hellmarches by demons, with death and destruction in their wake, Janel searches for the truth of her own power in order to save the magical city of Atrine, aided by the help of her friends: a priest healer,a bandit,and some new allies, specifically Kihrin D'Mon. The continued past and present narratives by Janel, Brother Qown, and Kihrin, along with liberal footnotes from witch Serena, keep this prophetic fantasy grounded in the feelings and experiences of the characters. Lyons continues her expansive and diverse worldbuilding in a tale readers will stay up all night to finish. VERDICT The second of Lyons's Chorus of Dragons series (after The Ruin of Kings ) carries on the epic settings, memorable characters, and broad mythological foundations. Lyons is creating a complex and wonderful series that will immerse and delight. --Kristi Chadwick, Massachusetts Lib. Syst., NorthamptonCopyright 2019 Library Journal, LLC Used with permission. " Rezension(13): "〈a href=https://www.booklistonline.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/booklist_logo.png alt=Booklist border=0 /〉〈/a〉: Starred review from August 1, 2019 This follow up to Lyon's brilliant debut takes a similar, assured (and sassy) narrative approach to The Ruin of Kings (2019) to recount how Janel Theranon came to possess Khoreval, a spear capable of killing a dragon. It begins in a tavern that is buried in snow and under assault from an ice dragon, though not the one Janel intends to dispatch. Kihrin, the hero of Ruin, listens as Janel tries to convince him to help her save Jorat, her home province, in accordance with a prophecy. But prophecies in the Chord of Dragons series are as hard to work out as the genealogies among the Eight Immortals, god-kings, demons, and dragons that inhabit the Empire of Quur. In the matter of Joratese culture, even gender roles become trickier to define. Janel's plight is even more compelling than Kihrin's: when she sleeps, she fights demons in the Afterlife, where people who die wait to be resurrected. Lyons proves she is worthy of comparison to other masters of epic fantasy, such as Patrick Rothfuss, Stephen R. Donaldson (particularly in Grand Guignol action), and Melanie Rawn.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.) "

Content: Während die Dämonen durch das Empire wüten, treten die finsteren Pläne des Zauberers Relos Var immer offener zutage. So rückt die Erfüllung der alten Prophezeiung und damit das Ende der Welt, näher denn je zuvor. Um Zeit zu gewinnen, versucht Kihrin den König der Manol Vané zu überzeugen, ein uraltes Ritual durchzuführen. Es betrifft die Unsterblichkeit dieses ganzen Volkes der Elben. Und Kihrin muss verzweifelt wahrhaben, dass er immer tiefer in die Verbindung zu dem Dämonenkönig Vol Karoth verstrickt ist. Wie kann er die Menschheit retten, wenn vielleicht von ihm selbst die größte Gefahr ausgeht? Diese Frage steht im Mittelpunkt dieses dritten Bandes der Drachengesänge.
