Produktbeschreibung

This series delves deeply into the darker aspects of humanity within a dystopian society engaged in open warfare. The themes explored include violence, substance abuse, torture, cruelty, sexual content, tyranny, oppression, and complex ethical dilemmas that arise in times of conflict. They are not taken lightly and are presented with the intent to highlight their consequences rather than glorify them. Some readers may find certain aspects of this story intense or disturbing. After the world had been plunged into the darkness of the Great Turn, Dieter Hildebrand, the self-proclaimed High King, brought humanity back from the brink of extinction. But the savior turned into a tyrant. Humanity was set free when Ben Spencer killed the childless ruler and descended with the First Council into the shadows. In Part 1, Awakenings, the death of the last in line, Steven Spencer, set the stage. His son, Kent Spencer, the rightful heir to the throne, struggled with his high moral standards and lack of knowledge. Still, with the help of his inner circle, the Citadel and the High King's army were reactivated and ready to be used. On the other side, the usurper Ronald Winterhunt had already sent his agents to wreak havoc on the democracy in the Free United States. He used Kent's cousin, Victoria Green, to lead the uprisings and as the figurehead to rally his troops. In Part 2, things escalate—the Winterhunt troops march, led by Victoria Green and Thomas Blackwood. Kent Spencer, desperately searching for the lost knowledge of his ancestors, takes a significant risk to get it. The Free Republic of Canada finds itself between the parties and has to react by preparing for war. Who will survive? Who will gain the upper hand? And what role does the elusive Fenrir play in all of this?

Autorenporträt

After I learned to read, the local public library became my second home. Since then, I have read hundreds, if not thousands, of books. Even in those early days, I created worlds and stories to tell my friends and family. It is finally time to share my stories with the world.
