Publisher: Hell-Hound Studios Productions
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 520
Book Description
Synopsis: In the world of Terra'Far, a nightmarish reality of monsters... A chorus of darkness and light... Peter Wulfric gets lured into a blood-thirsty dance of shadows with Abraxan, the Gatekeeper of Souls. A war of souls brews between King Kresh and Priestess Alex, two monarchs, which rises from a pit of death. A boy must learn to embrace his heritage as Shadowfang... Peter, his trusty hell-hound Aries, Vyrima, Sam, Vilus, and Orion adventure through the depths of darkness. A cycling weaving of stories in each of these teenagers lives, each respective journey, churns within, connected by a tragic mystery that echoes with the perilous shadow that surrounds them all. Sam deals with internal trauma, and psychological chaos inside her own mind. Vyrima has many night terrors and her own dances with Abraxan, the Gatekeeper. Vilus relearns the meaning of family, and the sacrifices that come with his own individuality. Orion learns of a long lost father he never knew he had, and experiences the trials of being a Dream Walker and what that means for his world, friends, family and reality itself… Along the way, Aries, Peter's hell-hound accompanies each of them on their journey's injecting a soul full of heart and wit that carries them all through... Together, Peter and his friends who comprise the Shadow's Hand must rise to face the Unholy Trinity to prevent destruction to their world… A dark fantasy tale that walks the line of shadows, not for the faint of heart! Psychological warfare, themes of trauma, and loss. A beacon of hope shines through it all. A reminder to carry on through one's own battles, and our heroes are tested to their wits end. What Readers have said from Goodreads: "Orion is now my boy and if anything else bad happens to him I will cry." Laura "It is very rare for a book to have its characters live beyond the pages, and at the same time let it transcend its own genre into something else. Crimson Knightfall does that, and more. Five Stars read for me." - The Readera "Crimson Knightfall is what we called a true page turner. Amazingly woven like an interesting spell. I didn't think this book was going to be this good. It was , as you might expect , engaging , a total different piece of art from every aspect. It sets a very high bar for whatever he does that comes next." Santosh Yadav "Action and adventure books and binge-reading go hand in hand. It’s just science: A fast-paced, exciting story gets your blood pumping and adrenaline rushing, which in turn keeps your eyes glued to the pages as you tear through them. If that sounds like your kind of weekend, Crimson Knightfall: Everything Burns by T. P. A. Wulfric is just what you are looking for, this is an action and adventure pack book to binge right now, sort of gripping, unputdownable thrill-ride that will keep you reading well into the night. An intriguing origin story...Readers will keep turning the pages to see what happens next. Highly Recommended!" - John Kerry

Languages : en
Pages : 344
Book Description
The Quantum Thief sequel is “stupefyingly entertaining, like a heist movie for post-singularity, AI-boosted string theoreticians from beyond spacetime” (Charles Stross). “The good thing is, no one will ever die again. The bad thing is, everyone will want to.” A physicist receives a mysterious paper. The ideas in it are far, far ahead of current thinking and quite, quite terrifying. In a city of “fast ones,” shadow players, and jinni, two sisters contemplate a revolution. And on the edges of reality a thief, helped by a sardonic ship, is trying to break into a Schrödinger box for his patron. In the box is his freedom. Or not. Jean de Flambeur is back. And he’s running out of time. In Hannu Rajaniemi’s sparkling follow-up to the critically acclaimed international sensation The Quantum Thief, he returns to his awe-inspiring vision of the universe . . . and we discover what the future held for Earth. “Stories within stories, mind-boggling scientific extrapolations, and flamboyant characters mark the author as a rising star of the genre.” —Library Journal “Rajaniemi’s witty language and charmingly wry hero will make the read well worth the effort for the first installment’s fans.” —Publishers Weekly “Fans of the author’s popular debut novel, which mixed hard science with wild fantasy, will probably be lining up for this follow-up, which resolves some of the questions posed in The Quantum Thief but, on the other hand, asks several more, for which there are, as yet, no answers.” —Booklist
