Jeg ville ikke være den første, der døde af et knust hjerte ... Gwen må og skal opfylde sin skæbne – der er bare ingen, der vil fortælle hende, hvad den går ud på. Siden hun fandt ud af, at hun er den såkaldte rubin – det sidste medlem af en cirkel af 12 tidsrejsende – er alting gået galt. Gwendolyn har en mistanke om, at grundlæggeren af den mystiske orden af tidsrejsende har ondt i sinde, men ingen vil lytte til hende. Og hun har netop fundet ud af, at hendes charmerende (og irriterende lækre) følgesvend Gideon vist har udnyttet hende hele tiden. Vil Gwendolyn afsløre ordenens hemmeligheder i tide? Smaragdgrøn er den spændende afslutning på Rubinrød-trologien af Kerstin Gier. Trilogien er blevet en gigantisk international succes. Den er oversat til mere end 30 sprog og solgt i over 2,5 millioner eksemplarer.

Romanens navnløse fortæller bor i en næsten tom lejlighed i Tokyo med minimal kontakt til andre menneskelige væsener - han har lært sig at dyrke kedsomheden som en kunstart. Men kedsomhedens modsætning - eventyret - sniger sig ind på vores fortæller.Romanens navnløse fortæller bor i en næsten tom lejlighed i Tokyo med minimal kontakt til andre menneskelige væsener - han har lært sig at dyrke kedsomheden som en kunstart. Men kedsomhedens modsætning - eventyret - sniger sig ind på vores fortæller.Først møder han en ung kvinde med de smukkeste ører, han nogensinde har set, så falder han over et billede af et får med en stjerneformet plet på ryggen, og endelig opsøges han af en ultrahøjreorienteret mand, der kalder sig Bossen. Bossen er døende, men han har en opgave, der skal løses. Vores fortæller må påtage sig hvervet, hvis han vil overleve. Den vilde fårejagt er i gang

To fortællinger, der foregår i vidt forskellige universer, løber parallelt i Haruki Murakamis første store roman.I den ene er handlingen lagt i storbyen Tokyo i en ikke fjern fremtid, hvor den sidste overlevende fra et uhyggeligt hjerneeksperiment involveres i en hæsblæsende højteknologisk informationskrig, som byder på indtrængende små monstre, en vanvittig forsker dybt nede i kloakkerne under byen og en underskøn bibliotekar med en meget stor appetit. I den anden fortælling er vi hensat til ’Verdens ende’, en stille, afsondret og tidløs verden omgivet af en høj mur, hvor den navnløse fortæller brutalt skilles fra sin skygge og må forsøge at tolke de drømme, der stadig rummes i lysende enhjørningekranier.Uafvendeligt nærmer de to universer sig hinanden.

Explore a story told across the millennia that delves deep into a pair of fascinating necron characters, their relationship and their plans for the galaxy.Before the being called the Emperor revealed Himself, before the rise of the aeldari, before the necrontyr traded their flesh for immortal metal, the world was born in violence.Even when they inhabited bodies of flesh, Trazyn the Infinite and Orikan the Diviner were polar opposites. Trazyn, a collector of historical oddities, presides over a gallery full of the most dangerous artefacts – and people – of the galactic past. Orikan, a chronomancer without peer, draws zodiacs that predict and manipulate the future. But when an artefact emerges that may hold the key to the necrons’ next evolution, these two obsessives enter a multi-millennia game of cat and mouse that ends civilisations, reshapes timelines, and changes both forever. As riddles unwind and ancient secrets are revealed, the question remains: will their feud save the necron race or destroy it?
