Aurora Award Finalist. When the Shogun’s soldiers burn his village
and kill his parents, young Asai is rescued by a strange red hawk
and led to a fabled temple. Here, he trains under Ikada, the
Warrior of the Red Bird and seeker of the Hidden Light. Asai will
be the last Warrior, and unless he can succeed where all other
Warriors have failed—to discover the Hidden Light—then his people
will suffer a thousand years of misery. But when Sawako, a
beautiful young woman, challenges him, Asai must choose between his
heart, his people, and his destiny."I loved this tale. ... It has
the feel of a myth or legend about a boy who finds that his destiny
is closely entwined with the destiny of a people. But rather than
repeat a tale we’ve all read before, the author has written
something subtly new. … Honestly, I could have read it forever. The
ending was that perfect combination of sadness and hope." —SF
Crowsnest Review"A spellbinding piece of writing set in a
Japan-that-never-was that is both well-plotted and elegantly paced"
—Strange Horizons"A superbly told, involving, and brilliantly paced
short story, complete with an ending made more tragic by its
inevitability... Worth the price of the issue." —Tangent Online "A
mini-epic about a young boy named Asai and the phoenix that saves
him from death while his village is being raided... If you love
Japanese and Samurai stories, this one will give you goose bumps."
—Tangent Online"Powerful, moving and not quite predictable (A+)"
—Fantasy Book Critic"A wonderfully recounted story, with an
excellent pace and a perfect ending." —Bibliopolis

V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
