The Eminence In Shadow React To John Smith Arc

Synopsis: It's been a while since I last came to this restaurant. As I walked in, I noticed how little had changed—the same cozy atmosphere, the familiar scent of wood-fired pizza, and the sound of a sports game playing on the big screens. I found a table for one and settled in, ready to enjoy my meal. That’s when I saw her. She was standing by one of the high tables, eating hot wings. I had just pulled out my chair at a single. There were only three singles in the place. Most of the tables were quads, and three of them were standup. She was by herself, and my eyes just slid over her without even registering what I was seeing. Then I did a double take. She was gorgeous! She had long red hair, that sort of flaming orange you see sometimes. She had on a tight skirt and top that showed off all her advantages, and she had plenty of advantages. Some loser wandered over and tried to strike up a conversation with her. I saw her give him the brush-off. She was gorgeous! She was also lethal and deceptive, and she would break your heart. I knew because I'd been married to her for five years. Her name was Sara, she worked for a huge radio station as their star attraction and I hoped she wouldn't see me.

Las sombras de Anthropótita siempre han susurrado secretos. En las noches más frías, cuando el viento arrastra murmullos entre los árboles y las luces de las aldeas titilan como luciérnagas moribundas, los ancianos cuentan historias de seres ocultos. Relatos que los niños escuchan con asombro y los adultos descartan con una sonrisa. Pero las historias no son solo cuentos. Son advertencias. Algo ha despertado. Thio lo ha sentido en la forma en que las ciudades refuerzan sus muros, en los ojos temerosos de los viajeros que hablan de figuras que desaparecen en la bruma.

En Anthropótita, la línea entre mito y realidad se desdibuja, y Thio y Matt están a punto de cruzarla. Porque en las sombras, algo los observa. Y ha estado esperando.

In the depths of Nightshade Kingdom, reality is fragile, and darkness is not the enemy—it is the truth. Between the cracks of the mind, a world lives, one where shadows breathe and death walks in the form of Mirelha, an angel of death with storm-touched eyes and wings heavy with souls. And then there’s Asher, a shadow demon bound to darkness, as much a curse as he is a mystery.

As the walls of the Labyrinth close in, you begin to question everything. If the Kingdom is a product of your fractured mind, then why does it hurt so much to let go?

Long ago, the wicked White Queen launched a brutal war of conquest, bringing the lands to freezing ruin. An entire generation was swallowed by the flame and horror of the Queen's War. It ended as it must: the White Queen was slain, her ambitions broken, her erstwhile kingdom shattered. It has been some years now since the news of her death, but the lands still bear the scars of her cruelty. And where humanity has retreated, fae, demons and other horrors have sprung up from the shadows. The young wizard Martimeos journeys through these cursed and shadowed lands, searching for a sign of his older brother, who disappeared into the fire and fury of the Queen's War. Joined by the mysterious swamp-witch Elyse, they must make their way through this dangerous world, uncovering haunting memories of the past. As Martimeos finds his brother's trail, he begins to wonder what sort of man he was, and whether or not the war had changed him. How far will he have to journey until he discovers his brother's fate? How long will he wander west? WANDER WEST, IN SHADOW is a slow-paced, classic sword and sorcery tale that takes place in a dark fantasy world of faded kingdoms and lost history. Magic in this setting is less powerful than in many other fictions, especially when Elyse and Martimeos are first starting out their journey. Discretion is the better part of valor, and it is often better to run than it is to stand and fight.
