The Burning Horse

The Burning Horse
A wonderful, magical book, full of ancient myth, set in 1930s Oxford between the wars. Anna is twelve, and she has already killed a man. Except he was not a man at the time. It is 1930 and the new decade is complicated, even in the depths of rural Oxfordshire. An orphan from a faraway country, Anna lives with an old farmer named Gabriel who may be a demon, or an angel, or both. Her best friends are a doll named Pie and a werewolf. Her long-lost mother was an Anatolian witch, and there are those who say that in Anna the witchcraft lurks too. She does not desire it. As she says to her friend C.S. Lewis, “All I want is for life to be normal, without complications. I just want to be an ordinary girl.” But she no longer lives in the ordinary world. Another has opened out beyond her own, beneath 1930’s England. It is the Old World of myth and story, and it is not a fairy-tale. It is a darkness filled with eyes and teeth.

The Windscale Incident

release date: May 20, 2020
The Windscale Incident
A blistering 1950’s Alternate-History Apocalypse that marks the beginning of a major new trans-media franchise. Great Britain, mid-1950s. Everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news. The simultaneous meltdown at the Windscale Nuclear Reactor and the Calder Hall site in the North of England killed thousands, but what came next was worst. The radioactive cloud, dispersed by heavy winds, effectively cut Great Britain in half and created the Exclusion Zone. Hysterical accounts of strange creatures, wolf-like packs and bands of human survivors abound, but no really knows since the last expedition was lost fifteen months ago. But there are mysteries that must be illuminated, and for Doctors Brian Mortlake and Constance Garraway, aided by a crack team of British soldiers, it’s time to enter the Zone.

Macher und zentrale Figur des Teilerfolges: Corfe, der ehemals einfache Soldat aus Aekir und seine Kampfeinheit, die Kathedraler. Corfe wird zum General ernannt, und sein Stern steigt sowohl bei der Königin als auch beim Volk. Sehr zum Missfallen des torunnischen Adels. Diesen stets tadellos gekleideten Herren, die eine Schlacht noch nie aus der Nähe gesehen haben, ist der bürgerliche Emporkömmling ein Dorn im Auge. Und so beginnen die Intrigen, während sich die Merduks eingraben, um den bitterkalten normannischen Winter abzuwarten. Unterdessen hat Abeleyn von Hebrion den Putschversuch seines Adels mit Pauken und Trompeten zunichte gemacht. Dank Golophins wiedererstarkten magischen Kräfte völlig genesen, hält er nun die Krone fester denn je in seinen Händen. Unterdessen nähert sich das Schiff von Richard Hawkwood mit den wenigen Überlebenden der Expedition der hebrionischen Küste. Endlich zu Hause! Doch das Grauen des westlichen Kontinents ist mit an Bord.

Besonders in Hebrion hat der junge König Abeleyn unter den frommen Fanatikern zu leiden. Bei der Suche nach einem Weg seine "magischen" Untertanen zu retten, stößt er auf die Pläne seines Vetters, Fürst Murad, und dessen Absichten, auf dem unerforschten westlichen Kontinent eine hebrionische Siedlung zu errichten. Auf den beiden Schiffen des Seemannes Richard Hawkwood soll die Expedition nach den Angaben aus einem alten Logbuch einer früheren Reise gestartet werden. Doch was Murad sowohl seinem König als auch Hawkwood verschweigt: Damals reiste das Grauen mit aus den westlichen Landen.
