Hawkmoon

Hawkmoon returns in this transformative graphic novel of Moorcock's epic dystopian series. Experience the post-apocalyptic future where Dorian Hawkmoon must fight against the tyrannical rule of the Granbretons.

Jerome Le Gris: Hawkmoon: The Black
Jewel

Hawkmoon: The Black Jewel

Der Herzog von Köln ist Gefangener der Granbretanier, und sein Zustand ist bedrohlich. Auch wenn das schwarze Juwel auf seiner Stirn seinen Geist noch nicht völlig verschlungen hat, ist er dennoch schwer verwundet und muss das Leid seiner Kameraden mit ansehen. Bei Tagesanbruch wird das freie Herzogtum Kamarg von den Streitkräften des Imperiums dem Erdboden gleichgemacht werden! Als alles verloren scheint, verhilft ein unerwarteter Verbündeter Hawkmoon zur Flucht. Und da erinnert er sich an den Heliogon: eine mystische Sphäre, die, wenn sie sich lange genug am höchsten Punkt der Stadt aufladen kann, die Macht der Elemente entfesselt. Es ist die letzte Chance, Kamarg zu retten. Aber sie wird mit Blut erkauft werden müssen.&nbsp;
&nbsp;
Nach der monumentalen Adaption von 'Elric' folgt nun 'Hawkmoon', eine weitere Fantasy-Saga aus der Feder von Michael Moorcock. 'Hawkmoon' vermischt primitive Wissenschaft mit futuristischer Magie zu einem epischen Werk düsterer Phantastik, das durch atemberaubende Zeichnungen und beunruhigende thematische Modernität besticht.&nbsp;

Das Geheimnis der Runen

Hawkmoon. Band 4

Herzog Dorian Hawkmoon wurde als unfreiwilliger Spion nach Kamarg geschickt, um das Vertrauen des dortigen Herrschers zu gewinnen, ihn anschließend zu hintergehen und so diese letzte Bastion des Widerstands gegen das dunkle Imperium der Granbretanier zu Fall zu bringen. Nur wenn die Weisen von Kamarg einen Weg finden, Hawkmoon von dem schwarzen Juwel in seiner Stirn, das seinen Willen dem des Barons Meliadus unterwirft, zu befreien, kann es dem Herzog von Köln gelingen, das Schlimmste zu verhindern. Noch schützen hohe Mauern und mächtige Waffen Kamarg vor der Invasion. Aber der Gegner des edlen Königreichs ist wahrlich furchterregend...

Songs for the Sinless

Discover the instant Sunday Times bestselling dark romantasy set in a world where creativity and art are forbidden, and humanity's sins are monsters given flesh, from the author of Curse of the Wolf King. Perfect for fans of Geneva Lee, Raven Kennedy and Carissa Broadbent. READERS ARE OBSESSED WITH THE LIES THAT SUMMON THE NIGHT: *'If you want a brilliant fantasy, with a strong, determined, likeable FMC, vampires, found family, and so much more, then this is the book for you!'* *'When I tell you I was HOOKED on this book from the very first chapter, it's the truth'* *Oh my word! This book! It's like nothing I've ever read before - it's top-tier romantasy!'* *'This needs to be everyone's must-read. The ending - crying and shocked. Cannot wait for the next one'* *DON'T MISS THE SINFUL SEQUEL, THE WORDS THAT WEAVE THE DARK - NOW AVAILABLE FOR PRE-ORDER!* The darkest sins taste the sweetest . . . When art birthed vicious shadow monsters hungering for those who created it, all forms of creative expression were banned. But the immortal royals destined to be humanity's salvation have their own monstrous affliction: the need to consume human blood. Inana's illegal storytelling has turned her fugitive. She has evaded capture so far, continuing to weave tales for the most desperate. Until a Shadowbane catches one of her performances . . . Dominic is filled with as much bloodlust as the shadow monsters he hunts, and he needs an artist to summon them. He gives Inana an ultimatum: serve him or he'll claim her bounty. As their tense alliance leads them into the heart of danger, the greatest risk is the desire growing between them. There's something more sinful than lust at play, and it could bring the world to its knees.

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A man must fight for his planet against impossible odds when gamers from Earth attempt to remotely annihilate it in this epic, fast-paced novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the smash-hit Dungeon Crawler Carl. All colonist Oliver Lewis ever wanted to do was run the family ranch with his sister, maybe play a gig or two with his band, and keep his family’s aging fleet of intelligent agriculture bots ticking as long as possible. He figures it will be a good thing when the transfer gate finally opens all the way and restores instant travel and full communication between Earth and his planet, New Sonora. But there’s a complication. Even though the settlers were promised they’d be left in peace, Earth’s government now has other plans. The colossal Apex Industries is hired to commence an “eviction action.” But maximizing profits will always be Apex’s number one priority. Why spend money printing and deploying AI soldiers when they can turn it into a game? Why not charge bored Earthers for the opportunity to design their own war machines and remotely pilot them from the comfort of their homes? The game is called Operation Bounce House. Oliver and his friends soon find themselves fighting for their lives against machines piloted by gamers who’ve paid a premium for the privilege. With the help of an old book from his grandfather and a bucket of rusty parts, Oliver is determined to defend the only home he’s ever known.

Operation Bounce House

Lusty, dark, queer fantasy - The Red Winter is perfect for fans of The Witcher and Susanna Clarke. Inspired by the eighteenth-century legend of the Beast of Gévaudan. 'Charming, haunting, ambitious' - T. KINGFISHER, author of Nettle &amp; Bone A devastating love story. A bewitching twist on history. A blood-drenched hunt for purpose, power and redemption. In 1785, Professor Sebastian Grave receives the news he fears most: the terrible Beast of Gévaudan has returned, and the French countryside runs red in its wake. Sebastian knows the Beast. A monster-slayer with centuries of experience, he joined the hunt for the creature twenty years ago and watched it slaughter its way through a long and bloody winter. Even with the help of Sarmodel, the demon he plays host to, bringing the monster down nearly cost him his life. Now, two decades later, Sebastian has been recalled to the hunt by Antoine Avenel d'Ocerne, an estranged lover who shares a dark history with the Beast and a terrible secret with Sebastian. Drawn by both the chance to finish the Beast for good and the promise of a reconciliation with Antoine, Sebastian cannot refuse. Some monsters, it seems, simply won't stay buried . . . 'An absolute feast of a book: rich, red, sinfully delicious' - ALIX E. HARROW, author of Starling House

The Red Winter

"One of the most affecting graphic novels I've read in some time. You'll root for Kirah as she navigates a county's institutional racism, her mysterious family history, and brutal Gatorman murders, written and artistically rendered with care and love and righteous anger. Don't miss this one." –PAUL TREMBLAY, New York Times bestselling author of Horror Movie and The Cabin at the End of the World&nbsp;&nbsp;A gripping graphic horror novel set in the Florida bayou, following a young biracial woman as she uncovers her estranged father’s role in a grisly hate crime.&nbsp;Kirah was born from an improbable interracial relationship that, in central Florida’s infamous Asurupa County, defied all the odds. But her idyllic childhood was shattered by an urban legend come to life. The “Gatorman” was a nightmare on the lips of kids and grown-ups alike all the way back to Jim Crow: a monster with the body of a man, the head of an alligator—and a taste for Black children. That’s who crawled into Kirah’s window when Kirah was just five years old. According to the police, it was Kirah’s own father who put on that gator mask and tried to kill her.Twenty years later, Kirah works hard to build a life unburdened by the traumatic events of her childhood.&nbsp;Just when it seems like she’s managed to find her stride, her dad, fresh out of prison, crashes back into her world with a chilling message: “He’s coming for you.”Finally forced to face the hideous family history she’s been avoiding, Kirah sets off to discover where, and who, she truly came from. And the more she learns, the more disturbing the whole picture becomes. Turns out there’s a lot more to the Gatorman than Kirah thought, and even worse: he isn’t through with her just yet.A clever hybrid of swamp noir, slasher horror, and social satire—and brought to life by Camilla Sucre’s vivid illustrations—Mama Came Callin’&nbsp;is a story about family and legacies, both the ones we inherit and the ones we can’t escape.
