کتاب The Nightrunner Series – 04 – Shadows Return (نسخه کامل)

Shadows Return is the fourth book in Lynn Flewelling’s Nightrunner series. It is preceded by Luck in the Shadows, Stalking Darkness and Traitor’s Moon and followed by The White Road.
With their most treacherous mission yet behind them, heroes Seregil and Alec resume their double life as dissolute nobles and master spies. But in a world of rivals and charmers, fate has a different plan.
After their victory in Aurënen, Alec and Seregil have returned home to Rhíminee. But with most of their allies dead or away, it is difficult for them to settle in. Hoping for diversion, they accept an assignment from queen Phoria to go to Seregil’s homeland and call Klia to Skala. En route, however, they are ambushed and separated, and both are sold into slavery to the Plenimarans.
There they are bought by the alchemist Yhakobin who hopes to use Alec’s Hâzadrielfaie blood to create a rhekaro, a sexless creature that can heal everything and prolong life. The first doesn’t meet his expectations and he has it butchered. By the time he makes a second one, Seregil and Alec escape, the first with the help of a servant woman and the second by picking his lock. Knowing that the rhekaro will die without his blood and reminding himself of the Dragon Oracle’s prophecy, Alec takes him along, while Seregil brings his betrayer, Ilar í Sontir, to show them a secret tunnel.
