Showing results for "Grand" in Dark Fantasy

Michael finds himself in the realm of the Forever Kingdom, with no memory of how he got there and who he is. Even so, he must participate in the Grand Game and forge a new destiny for himself. Dropped into a dungeon of monsters and strange magics, would you survive in a game where to lose means death? Alone, and with little more than his wits to aid him, Michael must advance as a player, slay his foes, and gain experience. All while navigating the intrigues around him and discovering his purpose.

The Grand Hotel is a horror novel by esteemed best-selling author Scott Kenemore ( Zombie, Ohio) that takes the reader on a thrilling ride through an interconnected series of stories narrated by the desk clerk and the residents of the hotel itself. And while it is not known whether or not the desk clerk is actually the devil incarnate, it is strange that so many visitors who come for a tour of the hotel have a way of never leaving.

Michael has taken the Game by the throat. No longer content to lurk in the shadows, he has started down a path that will inevitably bring him into conflict with the Powers. But the Powers are no easy foes. Nor are they Michael’s only adversaries. Other enemies stir. Some confront him openly, while others watch patiently from the sidelines. A lone wolf no more, and with many of his own pieces in play, Michael may find himself more exposed than he believes. The stakes are high. And the schemes of the players convoluted.

A burgeoning Power. Dormant followers. Ancient forces. Forgotten Allies. And Lurking Enemies. Will they clash? And when they do, will the Wolf emerge triumphant? Michael has come far in the Game since his somewhat-ignominious entry through Erebus’ dungeon. Now, a force to be reckoned with, he is more than a mere player and someone the Powers would do well to fear… But as Michael’s power has grown, so too has his Pack.

Months have passed since Michael first entered the Forever Kingdom, and while a great deal of the Game remains a mystery, his own place in it grows surer. Yet, survival—much less success—is by no means assured, and Michael will have to tread a delicate path to forge a place for himself. Ancient mysteries resurface. And long-buried truths are uncovered. The Forever Kingdom’s past is as murky as the Game, and there are nearly as many truths as factions. But if Michael is to emerge victorious, he must separate fact from fiction.

Michael findet sich im Reich des ewigen Königreichs wieder, ohne zu wissen, wie er dorthin gekommen ist oder wer er ist. Trotzdem muss er am Großen Spiel teilnehmen und sich ein neues Schicksal schmieden. Würdest du in einem Kerker voller Monster und seltsamer Magie überleben, wenn deine Niederlage den Tod bedeutet? Allein und mit wenig mehr als seinem Verstand als Hilfe muss Michael als Spieler vorankommen, seine Feinde besiegen und Erfahrung sammeln. Und das alles, während er Intrigen um ihn herum navigiert und seine Bestimmung entdeckt.

Monate sind vergangen, seit Michael das Ewige Königreich betreten hat, und während vieles im Spiel ein Rätsel bleibt, ist er sich seiner Rolle im Spiel immer sicherer. Doch sein Überleben – geschweige denn sein Erfolg – ist alles andere als gesichert, und Michael muss einen heiklen Weg bestreiten, um sich seinen Platz zu erobern. Uralte Geheimnisse tauchen wieder auf. Und längst vergessene Wahrheiten werden aufgedeckt.

Jason wakes in the most unpleasant of circumstances, in a body not his own and in a world most certainly unfamiliar. The finery and splendor of the Grand Imperial Prince Magnus Torvon Thull Heir Apparent to the Thull empire is a world of gold and silver beset upon fine black and white marble. The women of this Grand Prince’s empire clamor for his attention amongst the parties, drugs, and (not-so-great minstrel music). Jason will have to fix the decrepit state Magnus’s body has sunken into from a life of decadent pleasures. While figuring out what the heck is going on.
