It is a wonderful place, full of sorcerers, magical creatures and even the occasional god.
It is a terrible place, full of sorcerers, magical creatures and even the occasional god.
Everything that has ever terrified anyone from under a bed or the creepy house at the end of the street or their own nightmares has passed through Arcana before coming into the world.
It is ruled by the Arcanas, major and minor, powerful beings who keep the peace between dark and light. Neither good nor evil they watch over the city that bears their name enforcing the Law of Balance with swift, often brutal, hands. Or talons.
But, lately, the Arcanas have been slipping. The Balance isn't being protected as it should. Demons not only walk the Earth they sit next to you at the diner, licking your soul.
It's bad; Book of Revelations bad. Mayan Calendar bad. Necronomicon bad. The Balance is shifting.
Someone has to keep the Balance if the Arcanas won't. Someone has to protect this world from the things of the Other.
That someone is Grim.
He and his friends- Dex... the tough guy, Flora.. the witch, Sherman... the thief, Belladona... the huntress and Mr. Sun... the merchant- place themselves in the breach, holding back the dark things and the bright things before they can get into the world.
The Grim Arcana tells their stories. Find out who lives, who dies and who (or what) the hell Grim is anyway in these stories set in a world that is enough like ours to be familiar but different enough to steal your soul.
When he takes the wrong job from the wrong guys on the wrong night things go from bad to Apocalyptic and he's only got until dawn to figure a way to survive.

| The Grim Arcana #1 |
What if, when your
parents told you there was nothing in the dark that could hurt you, they
were wrong? What if there's something there that can hurt you, kill
you, chew you up and swallow your soul? What if that something has an
address, a house where it sits in the shadows, waiting for someone,
anyone, to stumble inside? What if that someone is you?It's hard enough
being a tough guy in a city like Arcana where magic is a real as a
bullet to the forehead. When you have to be tough enough to walk into a
house that eats souls the way kids eat hard candy, well, there's tough
and then there's tough.Hardboiled fantasy and horror from the author of
THE COST OF OPENING.For Mature Readers

| The Grim Arcana #2 |
What do you get when you
mix a hardboiled detective, a stripper with a cashbox for a heart and a
simple magic charm? In the city of Arcana you get trouble of the
world-shattering, life-eating kind with only one lonely sorceress
standing between humanity and oblivion. Geoffrey Thorne, author of
RED/Shift, presents a tale of dark magic, tragic love and ancient
bonds. For mature readers

Mie una nu prea imi plac copertile si nici seria voua?
mie imi plac :P
copertile nu sunt foarte inspirante, despre continut nu prea stiu ce sa spun este cam scurta descrierea
Da, cam scurta descrierea, dar copertile pot oferi o imagine mai buna despre continut.
imi plac ultimele doua coperti, desi pe ultima nu prea o inteleg
Multumim penntru completare, Mona. Acum mi-am facut o idee mai precisa despre serie si da, este interesanta, cu atatea elemente fantastice si "even the occasional god". Asta chiar mi-a atras atentia.
Interesanta. Cum spuneam o groaza de carti bune in afara, prea putine aduse la noi, asta e trist :(
da, da, si descrierea e interesanta:)
