Överstelöjtnant Kim Yong har oerhörda privilegier med nordkoreanska mått mätt. Han äger en importerad bil och kan åka var han vill i landet. Men förräderianklagelser raserar hela Yongs tillvaro. Han döms till Nordkoreas mest ökända arbetsläger, nr 14 i Hamgyong-provinsen–en värld av våld och tortyr. Medan han tvångsarbetar i en gruva två kilometer under marken blir dagsljus Kims enda lyx. Allt eftersom månaderna går blir han bekant med politiska fångar, omänskliga lägervakter och en apokalyptisk hungersnöd.

There’s nothing like a witch storm to unearth a century of dark secrets...and there’s nothing like a best friend with a flaming sword at your back to end them once and for all. The curse which infected those I love is over...and the woman in black is now gone. But Bestias Academy has changed since the witch storm. Secrets have resurfaced and shadows consume the dorms. An old principal haunts the hallways, leaving grave dirt in her wake. But that’s not all that’s surfaced. The fish in the pond are savaged and eaten...and one is mysteriously gone.

Welcome to Beautiful Beasts Academy, where the only thing more dangerous than the haunted grounds are the students themselves.

Magisch, fesselnd und atemberaubend spannend – der Auftakt zu einer epischen Fantasy-Serie vom koreanischen Genre-Großmeister! In einem einsamen Gasthaus am Rand der Punten-Wüste treffen drei Gestalten aufeinander, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Der Lekon Tinahan ist ein mächtiger Krieger mit dem Kopf eines Hahns. Bihyung ist ein Dokebi, ein Feuerwesen, immer zu Scherzen aufgelegt. Und Kaygon Draka ist ein Mensch, der das legendäre Schwert eines Königs trägt und ein düsteres Geheimnis verbirgt.

Das epische Finale der großen Fantasy-Saga aus Korea! Die Abenteurer Kaygon Draka, Lekon Tinahan und Feuergeist Bihyung haben die Reinkarnation der Lekon-Göttin gefunden – doch der Tanzende Gott der Menschen bleibt verschwunden. Um die Macht der Nagas und ihren Krieg gegen die Völker des Nordens zu beenden, reisen sie nach Süden, ins Zentrum der Macht der Nagas. Doch die Echsenwesen, die die Macht ihrer Göttin gestohlen haben, sind nahezu unbesiegbar, wenn der Tanzende Gott nicht gefunden und eine uralte Prophezeiung erfüllt wird. Den Abenteurern bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit.

Love is savage. Love is fierce. Love will stand beside you when the rest of the world turns their back. Love will claim its weapon of choice—my heart. There’s a murderer on the loose, and mortals are calling for a name to bring to justice. A name that answers on behalf of the Ancient. My name...Morwenna Livingstone.

The time for peace is over. Swords have been drawn, and we stand at the edge of war. I’ve fought Demons. I’ve battled lies. I survived with those I love standing beside me. But this time it’s not enough. This time I’m up against a force not even Hekate can help me win.
