Return to a world of magic and adventure from best selling author Raymond E. Feist. This bundle includes the complete Conclave of Shadows. The bundle includes: Talon of the Silver Hawk (1), King of Foxes (2), Exile's Return(3). Evil has come to a distant land high among the snow-capped mountains of Midkemia. Among the Orosini tribe, every boy must undergo the traditional manhood ritual in order to understand his place in the universe and discover his manhood name. Kielianapuna must survive on the remote mountain peak of Shatana Higo until the gods grant him his vision. But Kieli has already waited for four days and nights, and now he is cold, lonely, despairing, and very, very tired... When he is woken by the terrifying sensation of sharp claws piercing his skin and finds a rare silver hawk upon his arm, it is such a disorientating moment that he is not sure whether it has even happened, or whether it was a vision. Returning to his home, nameless and still a child, Kieli stumbles upon devastation. His village is being burned, his people slaughtered. Although it means certain death, Kieli throws himself into the battle... Against all the odds, he survives, alone of all the Orosini, who have been cut down where they stand: every last man, woman and child. A distant voice echoes in his mind: Rise up and be a talon for your people... The visitation of the bird on Shatana Higo was indeed his naming vision. He is a boy called Kielianapuna no more. Now he is Talon of the Silver Hawk, a man who must avenge the murder of his people, whatever that may take...… (more)

La trilogie du conclave des ombres se compose de :

Serre du faucon argenté
le roi des renards
le retour du banni

Le tome 1 commence avec l’extermination d’un peuple de montagnards par un seigneur de guerre. Le seul survivant, un jeune garçon, est recueilli, gravement blessé par des voyageurs. Il brûle évidemment de se venger mais il doit sa vie à ses sauveurs, qui se trouvent être des magiciens au service d’une organisation secrète, le conclave des ombres. Pour rembourser sa dette, il va apprendre et se transformer en agent du conclave. Le tome 1 raconte son apprentissage et sa première vengeance contre ceux qui ont exterminé son peuple.

Dans le roi des renards, Ser Fauconnier, devenu un jeune homme, entre au service de son pire ennemi, Kaspar d’Olasko et cherche l’opportunité de le tuer. C’est le duc qui va pourtant se servir de lui et l’envoyer moisir dans un bagne sinistre. Ser s’en évadera et montera un complot complexe pour finir par vaincre son ennemi.

Le personnage principal du 3ème tome n’est plus Ser mais le duc Kaspar, banni par les magiciens à l’autre bout du monde. C’est un peu déroutant mais le livre est différent : plus d’intrigues de cour et de complot mais un long voyage, lesté d’un sombre boulet magique. Kaspar, sur la voie du repentir, cherche à rentrer chez lui mais est contraint de passer par de multiples péripéties.

La trilogie n’est pas homogène, c’est plutôt 2+1 mais il vaut quand même mieux lire les 3 tomes dans l’ordre. Les deux premiers sont plutôt concentrés sur des intrigues politiques et des combats alors que le « retour du banni » est plutôt un road movie très magique avec le retour au premier plan de quelques personnages majeurs de Midkemia comme Pug et Tomas.
Même si ce cycle n’est pas aussi bon que le cycle originel ou celui de la guerre des serpents, il est excellent et meilleur que d’autres que j’ai lu de Feist.
