Sinossi
Bershad doveva morire. Catturato mentre tentava di assassinare un nobile, è stato condannato a diventare un ammazzadraghi, e a votare l'intera esistenza al servizio del regno. Tuttavia, non è morto. Al contrario, è diventato il più famoso giustiziere di draghi della storia, disprezzato dai suoi pari e dalla gente di Terra a causa del suo marchio d'infamia. Ma ora tutto sta per cambiare. Quello stesso re che l'ha condannato, gli offre un'occasione per sfuggire al suo destino: la testa di un sovrano in cambio della libertà. A Bershad non interessano gli intrighi della politica... fin quando non scopre di essere l'unica persona in grado di salvare la vita di una ragazza innocente e, forse, di tutte le creature di Terra.

Recensioni
ARC provided by the publisher—Pan Macmillan—in exchange for an honest review. Blood of an Exile has dragons and dragonslayer, if you love a great fantasy debut with dragons, I doubt you’ll be reading the rest of this review. And yet I will still write one. Blood of an Exile is Brian Naslund’s debut. Leggi tutto
I received an uncorrected proof copy of Blood of an Exile in exchange for an honest review. I would like to thank Brian Naslund and Tor. Bershad the Flawless is a dragon-slayer. After betraying the King fourteen years ago Bershad was exiled and given a brutal sentence. To spend the rest of his days
It takes a lot to get me excited about dragons and dragonslayers. The tendency for authors to drop such classic tropes of fantasy for effect either as "look at this evil monstrosity – however will our hero defeat it?" or "behold this majestic magical beast - let us learn from its wisdom" irks anyone Leggi tutto

You can keep moving through this world, even if there is no redemption for the things you left behind you.” ~ Blood of An Exile is the debut novel by Brian Naslund, and is the first book in the Dragons of Terra Leggi tutto
I’ve been meaning to write a review of Blood of an Exile since I read it towards the end of last year, but… life’s been busy. Unfortunately, that means things aren’t quite as fresh in my mind as I’d like, but the fact I’m still motivated to do this a few months on speaks volumes to the quality of th Leggi tutto
Una saga (e un autore) da tenere d’occhio. Ci sono tante ingenuità ma nonostante sia un esordio la storia è solida, i personaggi non sono niente male e l’ambientazione è da urlo. Anche se c’è stata troppa cacca per i miei gusti (il libro è parecchio volgare). Consigliato a chi ama i fantasy brutali, Leggi tutto

Good book...try it. What? You want more? Okay, but I mean I already told you I recommend it. In this world if you run afoul of your local monarch...you know, king, emperor...duke, whatever you may not be summarily killed. You may have a couple of blue bars tattooed onto your face and you may be declare Leggi tutto
This is a curious fantasy with environmental content. Plot. Rating 3 The plot of the book is quite simple. The main storyline shows the protagonist's quest and I was interested in following his varied adventures. The line is also full of worldbuilding details and fight scenes. I would like to say that Leggi tutto
