Look out for the original series starring Katherine Langford coming soon to Netflix! The Lady of the Lake is the true hero in this cinematic twist on the tale of King Arthur created by Thomas Wheeler and legendary artist, producer, and director Frank Miller (300, Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Sin City). Featuring 8 full-color and 30 black-and-white pieces of original artwork by Frank Miller. Whosoever wields the Sword of Power shall be the one true King. But what if the Sword has chosen a Queen? Nimue grew up an outcast. Her connection to dark magic made her something to be feared in her Druid village, and that made her desperate to leave… That is, until her entire village is slaughtered by Red Paladins, and Nimue’s fate is forever altered. Charged by her dying mother to reunite an ancient sword with a legendary sorcerer, Nimue is now her people’s only hope. Her mission leaves little room for revenge, but the growing power within her can think of little else. Nimue teams up with a charming mercenary named Arthur and refugee Fey Folk from across England. She wields a sword meant for the one true king, battling paladins and the armies of a corrupt king. She struggles to unite her people, avenge her family, and discover the truth about her destiny. But perhaps the one thing that can change Destiny itself is found at the edge of a blade.

Arcanum

Fantasy román dvojice amerických autorů, v němž se zavrhovaná dívka stane jedinou nadějí svého ohroženého lidu. Už jako dítě zakusila Nimue dotyk temnoty a od té doby je vyvrhelem uprostřed vlastního lidu. Své vlastní kouzelné schopnosti musí potlačovat a její příbuzní se jí obávají. Proto ze všeho nejvíc touží odejít. Když je však její rodná vesnice vypálena vojskem Rudých paladinů a obyvatelé krutě pobiti, projeví se temnota v jejím nitru. Nimuina umírající matka ji pověří, aby přijala prastarý meč a donesla jej legendárnímu čaroději. Nimue se stává poslední nadějí svého lidu. Její poslání si žádá veškerých sil, avšak moc, která se probouzí v její duši, touží především po pomstě. Spojí se s okouzlujícím žoldnéřem jménem Artuš a snaží se zachránit Starší lid ze všech koutů Anglického království. Meč, určený pro jediného pravého krále, pozdvihne Nimue proti paladinům i vojskům padlého krále a pouští se do zápasu o sjednocení všech klanů Staršího lidu. Zároveň touží pomstít svou rodinu a odhalit pravdu o sobě samé. A v čepeli meče, který třímá, se snad ukrývá moc změnit i samotný osud. Nakladatelská anotace.

Prokletá

Aquél que empuñe la Espada de Poder será el único y verdadero rey. Pero, ¿y si la espada ha elegido a una reina? Nimue creció siendo una marginada. Su conexión con la magia oscura la convirtió en alguien temible para su pueblo Druida, pero ella siempre ha querido escapar de aquellos que la repudian. Hasta que un día su aldea es asaltada brutalmente por los Paladines Rojos, y el destino de Nimue se ve alterado para siempre. Antes de morir, su madre le designa la misión de entregar una antigua espada a un hechicero legendario, y en ese momento se convierte en la única esperanza de su diezmado pueblo. Nimue recibe la ayuda de un mercenario encantador llamado Arturo, y lo que queda de su gente, los Inefables. Mientras tanto, ella blande la espada destinada al verdadero rey, y lucha sin piedad contra los paladines y los ejércitos de un rey corrupto. Aunque Nimue sólo pretende unir a su pueblo, vengar a su familia y descubrir la verdad sobre su origen, poco a poco descubrirá que quizá lo único capaz de cambiar el destino sea el filo de su espada.

Maldita

Mastermind

It is 1919 and the Great War has come to a close. But in the shadows of the world’s major cities, the killing has just begun. In this perilous time, as the division between order and chaos grows increasingly slim, a select group of visionaries have taken it upon themselves to ensure the safety of humanity. They are known as the Arcanum. In London’s stormy Hyde Park, Konstantin Duvall, the Arcanum’s founder, has been killed in a suspicious accident. Dismayed, the group’s longest-lived member, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, determines to avenge Duvall’s death—and uncover the secret left in his wake. For the dead man possessed the world’s most powerful—now missing—artifact: the Book of Enoch, the chronicle of God’s mistakes, within whose pages lie the seeds for the end of everything. From the scene of the crime, Conan Doyle embarks on a path that leads him to the sleazy underworld of New York City’s Bowery and a series of deceptively disparate—but decidedly connected—murders. And as he calls upon the scattered members of the Arcanum for aid, he also finds himself embroiled in a story of war as old as time itself. Not of a struggle between countries, but between darkness and light. Peopled with the twentieth century’s most famous—and infamous—figures, here is an extraordinary tale in which the stakes go beyond the realm of humankind—into the divine.
