New Releases by Michael Dante

Kuviras wahre Natur wird enthüllt und das Erdkönigreich hat die Konsequenzen zu tragen. Danke Kommandant Guans und Doktor Shengs Gehirnwäschen ist jegliche Hoffnung auf eine faire Wahl im Erkönigreich verloren. Korra arbeitet mit Toph, Su und Kuvira, um Mako, Bolin und Asami zu retten, finden sich aber bald in Guans Netz aus Intrigen wieder! Als sie erkennt, dass das Erd-Imperium wieder an die Macht gelangen könnte, zieht Kuvira ein weiteres Ass aus dem Ärmel ... aber auf welcher Seite ist sie wirklich?

König Wus Träume von einem friedlichen Übergang des Erdkönigreichs in eine Demokratie sind in Gefahr: Kommandant Guan wirft seinen Hut in den Ring, mit dem Ziel, das neue System von innen heraus zu untergraben. Aber fair zu spielen war nie Teil seines Plans, denn Guan und Dr. Sheng benutzen neue Technologie, um Guans Sieg zu zementieren! In einem verzweifelten Versuch, das Erdkönigreich vor dem Rückfall in die dunklen Tage des Imperiums zu retten, überzeugen Korra und Kuvira eine alte Freundin davon, gegen den ehemaligen Kommandanten in die Wahlen anzutreten. Aber wird das ausreichen? Geschrieben vom Ko-Schöpfer der Serie, Michael Dante DiMartino, gezeichnet von Irene Koh und abgestimmt mit Bryan Konietzko – dies ist die offizielle Fortsetzung von DIE LEGENDE VON KORRA!

Während sich Tokuga, Mitglied der Dreifachgefahr, vom letzten Kampf erholt, ist er bereits hungrig nach Rache und stärkt seine Verbindung zum hinterhältigen Wonyong. Inzwischen hat auch die Wohnungsnot in Republica ihren Höhepunkt erreicht - denn noch immer ist die gesamte Bevölkerung in Zelten untergebracht. Zhu Li setzt ihre Hoffnung auf die bekannteste Person der Stadt - Präsident Raiko! Darüber hinaus steht es noch immer schlecht um die Zukunft des Geisterportals und auch um das Wohlergehen der Bewohner Republicas. Kann Korra ruhig bleiben und ihren Pflichten als Avatar gerecht werden?

Als das Schicksal des Erdkönigreiches auf dem Spiel steht muss sich Korra entscheiden, wem sie vertraut. Die ersten Wahlen stehen an, doch obwohl Kuvira für ihre Verbrechen vor Gericht steht, bedrohen ihre Ambitionen noch immer den Frieden und die Demokratie der Nation. Und dann kommt es auch noch zu Meinungsverschiedenheiten zwischen Korra, Asami, Mako und Bolin, wie ein neuer Krieg verhindert werden soll. Drastische Maßnahmen sind nötig, um zu verhindern, dass das die Zukunft des Erdkönigreichs von seiner Vergangenheit gefährdert wird. Die neue Trilogie um die Nachfahrin des Avatar setz genau dort an, wo die beliebte Reihe "Revierkämpfe" aufgehört hat.

Michael Dante played the title role in Winterhawk (1975), a Western about a legendary Blackfoot Chief''s character and his principles. In this novella sequel, he pens an ageless saga about ruthless railroad executives trying to assassinate him in order to build their railroad directly through his territory, taking the Blackfoot land without provocation. Winterhawk and his tribe remain strong as long as they can, to protect the land of their people, the land they call home, before the invasion of progress imposes itself on America. This inspiring story of a brave man, who stands up to and fight against those who have their own agenda for his land, evokes the nostalgic atmosphere of Western series that Dante frequently appeared in during American television''s Golden Era, such as Death Valley Days, The Big Valley, Daniel Boone, Custer, The Texan, Bonanza, Maverick, and Cheyenne.

Written by series co-creator Michael Dante DiMartino and illustrated by Michelle Wong (Goosebumps: Download and Die), with consultation by Bryan Konietzko and Tim Hedrick, this is the ultimate continuation of the beloved television series!

To stop it, Kyoshi, Rangi, the daofei, and their reluctant allies must join forces before the four nations are destroyed irreparably"--

Zwei Avatar-Zyklen vor Aang kam Kyoshi im Erdkönigreich zur Welt. Ihre Taten als Avatar wurden zur Legende und prägten die vier Nationen über Jahrhunderte. Doch bevor sie die Elite-Truppe der Kyoshi-Kriegerinnen gründete und zur gnadenlosen Verfolgerin der Gerechtigkeit wurde, war Kyoshi eine ausgesetzte Waise im Erdkönigreich. Neun lange Jahre suchen die Weisen der vier Nationen verzweifelt den neuen Avatar, bis sie endlich den charismatischen Erdbändiger Yun finden und in ihm den Avatar erkennen – doch die anderen drei Elemente wollen sich einfach nicht seinem Willen beugen. Die Frage nach dem wahren Avatar kommt erst wieder auf, als seine Dienerin und Freundin Kyoshi auf einer Mission gewaltige Bändigerfähigkeiten beweist. Unausgebildet und ohne Vorbereitung muss Kyoshi entgegen allen Widrigkeiten die Rolle des Avatars annehmen. Der erste der beiden Romane über Avatar Kyoshi beginnt die Reise eines Mädchens aus einfachen Verhältnissen, die auch Jahrhunderte nachdem sie zum Avatar wurde gefürchtet und bewundert wird.
