Did you hear the story about Max, the boy who kidnapped his grandfather from a nursing home? You didn’t see it on the news? Well, let me tell you about it. Max lives in a small town, much smaller than yours. His grandpa is losing his memory, but still remembers quite a bit. You can imagine how they hurried, Max and his grandpa, followed by old Miss Schneider, who insisted on coming along. Why were they in a hurry? Because everyone was after them. Max had skipped school to rescue his grandpa.

The Earth freehold received a young Ygg-Tree, and I a golden prize and Petal-in-the-Wind, who is worth more than any gold. Now I am an Ascendant, the leader of a battle spear, and the freehold's first pilot. I am also all but immortal. That secret was revealed to me by the ancient voice who had shared my body for a long time. But why? What had happened to make me like this? And why can't I remember anything?

The Earth freehold has received a new Ascendant, pilot, and warrior, yet the colony is still in danger, as its enemies haven't abandoned their sinister plans. Everything will be decided at the big moot under the luminous Ygg-Tree, the gathering of the people of our Circle. Another threat is looming—the one twinkling in the night sky, controlling the relativistic jets of the accretion disk, and overseeing the change of Signs in the celestial calendar. The lords of Eternity must not learn who shares my body with me. But who is he, really?

Jetzt bin ich ganz offiziell ein Aszendent, der Anführer eines Kampf-Speers und der erste Pilot der Siedlung. Dieses Geheimnis hat mir die uralte Stimme enthüllt, die so lange meinen Körper mit mir geteilt hat. In Einigkeit gibt es noch andere, die sind wie ich. Man nennt sie die Wahren. Vielleicht können sie meine Fragen beantworten.

Eternity consumed the local sun three galactic turns ago. In its place is an accretion disk, people cast two shadows, and life can only exist in Circles formed by gigantic light-bearing Trees. Beyond them are icy chill and Darkness, and on the border between them, Shadow, the land of everlasting sunset. It is the domain of strange creatures and unusual plants that have never seen light, a place teeming with Worms whose only purpose is to devour every living thing, while the few sentients only care about putting you into slave's shackles.

Pandorum is launching a massive offensive, aiming to destroy Cat and his clan. As they’re blazing through everything in their path, thousands of players clash in battle, and the biggest alliances of Sphere join the fray. Can Cat stay on the sidelines? After all, he’s able to buy and sell almost anything in the game—even victory itself. Cat fights his own war in economics and trade. Which role will the merchant play in a bloody war fated to go down in the history of the game as the Battle for the North?

Meet Cat. He thinks everything has its price. You can pay in gold, or you pay in steel. And for the right price, even the entire Sphere of Worlds can be bought. Ever the merchant, he pays in souls, freeing the Goddess of Darkness in the astral fortress of Pandorum and becoming the archnemesis of the most powerful alliance in all of Sphere. Even as an enormous bounty is placed on his head with hunters trailing his every move, he never wavers. His patron, the God of Shadows, sends Cat to the twilight world of the Hole to find the third of the seven Keys.

Now that Cat has discovered his sword’s secret and received the task to collect the Seven Keys, he’s not in a hurry to complete the new quest. Why would he care about the future of the world when he has much more exciting things to do, like claiming his place in the clan, participating in the redistributing of trade influence, and just plain making money? Cat starts building his own trading empire—and ends up getting involved in an all-out economic war. Having gotten the taste of real money, he travels to the Bazaar, the world’s biggest marketplace at the crossroads of trade routes.

Cat is a wannabe merchant who specializes in procuring in-game valuables to sell for real money. He's a cunning trickster who wriggles his way out of trouble thanks to his quick wit and his trading talents, and his credo is “Anyone can be bought provided the price is right." He starts from scratch, using every opportunity to advance his plans. The first book in the Rogue Merchant series, The Starlight Sword is the story of this common trader’s rise to becoming the world’s newest legend, the most famous merchant in the entire Sphere of the Worlds

Worum geht es in diesem Hörbuch? Es geht um die uralten Mysterien der Erde, auf die es geheimnisvolle Wesen von jenseits des Randes abgesehen haben. Es geht um den Schwarzen Mond, der über der letzten verbliebenen Stadt steht, und um deren Legion, die einst von den Inkarnatoren gegründet wurde. Es geht um die Besessenen, die von der Macht der urtümlichen Dunkelheit verändert wurden. Es geht um die Krieger, Verzauberer und Technomanten, die sich vor langer Zeit erhoben haben, um die Menschheit vor dem uralten Bösen zu beschützen.

Als die Trümmer des "Schwarzen Mondes" auf den Planeten Erde stürzten, ließen sie Kontinente auseinanderbrechen und überfluteten sie mit den tosenden Ozeanen. Dunkelheit senkte sich auf unsere Welt herab. Eruptionen feindlicher Energie von jenseits des Randes verdrehten die Gesetze der physikalischen Welt und erschufen neue Lebensformen, die nun kurz davor sind, den Planeten zu übernehmen. Die wenigen verbliebenen Überreste der Menschheit kämpfen verbittert ums Überleben und haben dem Ansturm nichts entgegenzusetzen.

The season of the Wild Hunt continues. We have little time left. We know that the Worms will come to extinguish the golden light of the young Ygg-Tree, and we know that Earth technology won't stop them. Only Runes and Starblood can—but the White Devil is far away, and troubles keep piling up.

Die Versammlung… So nennt das neurolinguistische System das Zusammentreffen der Vertreter am geheiligten Ort, am Fuß des strahlenden Ygg-Baums. Dabei werden neue Aszendenten ernannt, Streitigkeiten werden beigelegt, Bündnisse werden geschlossen, und Kriege werden erklärt.

Und darin lag Ewigkeit. Dort, im „Jenseits", tauchten die ausgewählten Aszendenten nach ihrem Tod wieder auf und erwarben Unsterblichkeit. Legenden zufolge hatten sich vor drei galaktischen Wendungen die Kel dorthin zurückgezogen, die Schöpfer der Dyson-Sphäre, um zu allmächtigen, unsterblichen Göttern zu werden. Ich muss herausfinden, wer recht hat, und welche Geheimnisse Ewigkeit verbirgt.

In the inhabited Circles of the Dyson Sphere the natives call Unity, everything is different. Time here is measured in cycles that change with the signs of the celestial calendar. The lords of the Skythrone set the new rules, and all Nations of the Circle gather for the moot to discuss how to live on.

Vor drei galaktischen Wendungen zerstörte Ewigkeit die Sonne. An ihrer Stelle schwebt nun eine Akkretionsscheibe. Jeder wirft zwei Schatten, und Leben kann lediglich in den Kreisen existieren, die riesige, Licht ausstrahlende Bäume bilden. Außerhalb der Kreise herrschen eisige Kälte und Dunkelheit – und an der Grenze zwischen Licht und Dunkelheit liegt der Schatten, das Land der ewig untergehenden Sonne. Dies ist ein Ort voller seltsamer Kreaturen und ungewöhnlicher Pflanzen, die niemals das Licht erblickt haben, ein Ort, an dem es von Würmern wimmelt.

The natives call the astroengineering contraption built around the black hole the Skythrone. Within it lies Eternity, an afterlife of sorts where chosen Ascendants travel after their death to gain immortality. Yet unlike the heaven and hell of Earth, it is absolutely real, and sometimes, guests who call themselves the emissaries of Eternity come down from there. But are they guests or are they masters?
