Résumé

The winter is close at hand, and Angus is looking forward to a few long months of study in Hellsbreath's Wizard School with Embril. Unfortunately, Commander Garret has other plans for the banner. The fishmen are missing, and the king wants to know where they went. One possibility is The Lake of Scales, a large body of water in a fiercely independent region south of the kingdom. The Guard can't go there without provoking war, but a banner can.
Their mission is simple: Find out if the fishmen are there. But it's caravan season, and bandits are out in force. The villagers do not welcome visitors. Winter storms are close at hand. The bears are hungry. And Angus is desperate to recover the past he can't recall. As the banner pursues the fishmen, Fanzool reluctantly sets out on the trail of the gold coins, and Taro doggedly follows the course laid out by his visions.
NOTE: If The Lake of Scales had been part of the first edition of the series, the events would take place after The Tiger's Eye and would replace part of the first section of The Viper's Fangs.

Biographie de Robert P. Hansen

Robert P. Hansen has taught community college courses since 2004 and is currently teaching introductory courses in philosophy and ethics. Prior to that, he was a student for ten years, earning degrees in psychology (AA, BA), philosophy (BA, MA-T), sociology (MA), and English (MA). Writing has been a hobby of his since he graduated high school, going through several phases that were influenced by what he was doing at the time.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, he played Dungeons and Dragons, read fantasy novels, and wrote fantasy short stories. He was also influenced by country music, particularly ballads, and wrote a number of short fantasy ballads that were later incorporated into the long poem "A Bard Out of Time."In the mid-1990s, college and work did not leave him much time for writing, and he mainly wrote poetry.
It was during this period that he learned how to write sonnets and became obsessed with them. Since he was focused on developing the craft of poetry, it was a recurring theme in many of the poems from this period ("Of Muse and Pen"); however, as a student of psychology, psychological disorders were also of interest to him, and he wrote several sonnets about them ("Potluck: What's Left Over"). He also began to submit his poems for publication, and several appeared in various small press publications between 1994 and 1997.
Most of the poems appearing in "Love & Annoyance" (both the love poems and the speculative poems) were written while he was a student (1994-2004), and relate to his romantic misadventures and his discovery of philosophy, the proverbial love of his life. The poems in "A Field of Snow and Other Flights of Fancy" do not fit into a specific period; they are humorous poems reflecting momentary insights or playful jests, which can happen at any time.
However, most were written before 1999. In 1999, his interest shifted to writing science fiction short stories. Most of these stories were a response to a simple question: Why would aliens visit Earth? The majority of these stories appeared in magazines published by Fading Shadows, Inc. He later returned to this question in 2013 to finish his collection, "Worms and Other Alien Encounters."In 2003, he discovered the poetry of Ai as part of a project for a poetry workshop.
Ai is known for her persona poems written from the perspective of serial killers, murderers, abusers, and other nasty characters. Her work inspired...
