Centuries ago, the world was torn as the forces of light and dark waged war. Renzak, the Black Dragon of Hell, rallied the monsters and evils beings of the world to overthrow and enslave the races of man and light. Aron, the Light Bringer, led the forces of good against the tides of war. Being a hybrid himself, Aron brought monster and man together to ensure their survival. After defeating Renzak, Aron banished the followers of dark and established a peace across the land, and then vanished from time. Now, an adventurer named Ryker resuces a woman named Maridah from a mythical bounty hunter. When Ryker finds out she has no idea why the monster was after her, he offers Maridah assistance in finding answers by enlisting the help of a being called a 'norn.' After everything she's been through and suffered, Maridah has trouble trusting anyone, but a gut feeling tells her to take a chance with Ryker. She agrees to let him help her and take her with him. They load up into Ryker's canoe and begin their adventure together. In what begins as a search for answers, has so much more in store for them.
Madcap revisions of familiar fairy tales.
Now in paperback, two novellas from the Hungarian master László Krasznahorkai—“one of the most mysterious artists now at work” (Colm Toíbín) The Last Wolf (translated by George Szirtes) is Krasznahorkai in a maddening nutshell—it features a classic obsessed narrator, a man hired (by mistake) to write the true tale of the last wolf in Spain. This miserable experience (being mistaken for another person, dragged about a cold foreign place, and appalled by a species’s end) is narrated—all in a single sentence—as a sad looping tale, a howl more or less, in a dreary Berlin bar to a patently bored bartender. Herman (translated by John Batki), “a peerless virtuoso of trapping who guards the splendid mysteries of an ancient craft gradually sinking into permanent oblivion,” is asked to clear a forest’s last “noxious beasts.” He begins with great zeal, although in time he “suspects that maybe he was ‘on the wrong scent.’” Herman switches sides, deciding to track entirely new game …
Shrouded within the dark corners of imagination, the werewolf holds a supreme place in fable and folklore-the nightbeast, stalking its prey under the light of a full moon. Such is the popular conception. But what of the beast himself? In the novel The Wolf's Tale, a werewolf documents his own case of lycanthropy. Amid the gothic backdrop of Victorian London, the author presents three gentlemen and one woman as they share the telling of this tale-the tale of Edgar Lenoir, Duke of Darnley: aristocrat and werewolf. When Lord Darnley learns that Elizabeth is pregnant with Merry's baby, he plans a hunt in the Carpathian Mountains to escape the pain of his unrequited love. Darnely goes alone and returns a changed man . . . a man who will then change Merry's and Elizabeth's lives forever. The centerpiece of the novel is Lord Darnley's journal chronicling his months as a werewolf. He views his condition not with horror, but with a fascination he believes to be thoroughly modern. Unfortunately, he is also narcissistic, ruthless, and ultimately, seduced by his own misguided self-interest to justify as natural and healthy the bestial desires that eventually consume him.
