Los protagonistas forman parte de Ognios, el Equipo Forja, un grupo de espionaje cuya labor es preservar la soberanía de las Islas Británicas. Todos son ex militares, expertos antiterroristas y ex miembros de fuerzas especiales. Sir Charles Wyndham es el creador del grupo y junto a el trabajan Ronan Frost, Noah larkin, Orla Nyren, Konstantin Khavin y Jude Lethe, un genio de la informatica. Su centro de trabajo es Nonesuch. Sin embargo aunque trabajan como parte del servicio secreto para proteger a la Reina, estan totalmente excluidos de las listas de la seguridad oficial del estado. Oficialmente nadie les conoce, no existen y si algo les sucede nadie puede dar cuenta de su existencia. El primer capitulo de la novela nos situa despues de la muerte de Jesus con la imagen de Judas Iscariote roto por el dolor, sin saber que hacer ni adonde ir, un Judas perdido, desolado, despidiendose del amor de su vida, Maria Magdalena, y unos apostoles llenos de ira y con tal sed de venganza que terminan asesinandolo. Mas tarde en la historia aparecen los nietos de Judas, Menahem y Eleazar Ben Fair. Ambos pertenecen a la banda de los Sicarios que prefirieron llevaron a cabo un suicidio colectivo en la fortaleza de Masada antes de ser aniquilados por los romanos. Antes de morir decidieron dejar como legado para la historia una espada de plata forjada con las treinta monedas que le dieron a Judas. Ademas Menahem redacta un manuscrito donde cuenta toda la verdad sobre el sacrificio de su abuelo, y no la traicion como todo el mundo creyo que fue. Jesucristo celoso del amor que Maria Magdalena sentia por Judas y sintiendose incapaz de entregarse el mismo, le pide a Judas que lo haga, aun a sabiendas de que ese acto de lealtad de Judas, seria mal interpretado y visto por el resto como un acto de traicion. La historia avanza dos mil años en el tiempo y se traslada hasta la epoca actual. Trece personas de nacionalidad britanica se han prendido fuego en diferentes paises de Europa: Italia, Francia, España, Belgica, Dinamarca, Alemania, Inglaterra, Grecia, Austria, Holanda, Suiza, Rusia. En once de las trece ciudades los suicidas enviaron al mundo el mismo mensaje: Se acerca una plaga. Durante cuarenta dias y cuarenta noches la muerte se apoderara de las calles. Los que esten sumidos en el pecado pereceran. La muerte comienza ya. En Roma y Berlin los mensajes fueron diferentes (aludiendo al tercer milagro de Fatima y a una de las profecias de Nostradamus), pero ambos tenian en comun una clara alusion al asesinato del Papa.

La aristocracia de la noche te da la bienvenida. De todos los vampiros que acechan el Viejo Mundo, los Von Carstein son los más infames. Sus meros nombres - Vlad, Conrad y Mannfred - conjuran imágenes de fatalidad, muerte y destruccion. Esta edicion omnibus recoge las tres novelas de Steven Savile sobre este linaje - Herencia, Dominio y Venganza - en un sangriento volumen que se adentra en las profundidades del mal.

Herencia es el primer volumen de la trilogía que narra la historia de los condes vampiro, crueles gobernantes no muertos del condenado territorio de Sylvania. Dentro del vasto Imperio humano, el ascenso al poder del oscuro y siniestro Vlad Von Carstein pasa, en un principio, inadvertido. Sin embargo, una vez que ha establecido su gobierno en Sylvania, una plaga de males queda en libertad y el territorio se transforma en un dominio de los muertos. ¿Puede alguien salvar las tierras de los vivos de esta familia vampirica sedienta de sangre, y de sus temibles ejercitos de no muertos?

But what they havent bargained for is that the gate opens both ways. Something has escaped from death and is hunting them. Something hungry..."With NDE, Sakmyster and Savile trek across a dark line into very strange country. Equal parts smart and chilling, this is a powerful and important novel." Jonathan Maberry, New York Times bestselling author of EXTINCTION MACHINE and FIRE & ASH"A wild and gripping ride through the afterlife, virtual realities, real world horrors and everything in between, NDE reminded me of Neil Gaimains American Gods wrung through The Matrix."

"She died," Chessie said. "She died, rose, and nearly died again. She comes. The crows know her the crows guide her. She follows the sound of a crying child. She follows the drag of un-kept promises on her heart." Chessie Hallowed Ground"They came in the night with their creak-wheeled wagons and patchwork tents, rolling down through the gulch and up the other side to pitch camp. In Rookwood, they called it Dead mans Gulch, and in Rookwood, names were important. If you walked too far through that God-forsaken, dust-drowned ditch, you were bound to drag your boots through bones. If you felt something sharp dig into your heel, it could be a tooth taking a last bite of something hot and living. The Deacon stood in silent shadows watching their progress, occasionally glancing up into the pale, inadequate light of the waning moon."When a man known only as The Deacon set up camp outside Rookwood, a murder of crows took to unnatural, moonlit flight. The crows came to Rookwood; trouble soon to follow. Things were already strange in that God-forsaken town, but no one could have predicted the forces and fates about to meet in a dust-bowl clearing in the desert. A Preacher. A Demon. An Angel. A Gunslinger.A bargain with the darkness was signed in blood, and broken, and as such deals usually do, it went south. Now the fate of lost lovers, faith healers, ancient Gods and the Devil himself collide in a circle of wagons tended by the damaged and deformed, the saved and the shorn. Theres a power come to Rookwood, and this one-horse town is about to be transformed. Such deals are only made and brokenon Hallowed Ground.From Steven Savile, International bestselling author of Silver, The Last Angel, and The Sufferers Song, and David Niall Wilson, Bram Stoker Award-winner David Niall Wilson, author of Deep Blue, This is My Blood, & Heart of a Dragon, comes a tale of the old west, magic, enlightenment and damnation readers have said is like Stephen Kings The Gunslinger meets Daniel Knaufs CarnivaleAuthors Introduction to the 2014 EditionThis is not a typical western. If you are looking for a lot of gunfights, tobacco spitting, and cattle rustling, this is the wrong book. What we set out to do in Hallowed Ground is to create a layered, complex fantasy set against a backdrop of the old west. You have your snake-oil salesman, your gunslinger, young lovers, wandering characters youll no doubt recognize from mythology, or legend, integrated into a single novel.No one in Hallowed Ground is exactly who, or what, they seem. You have to keep up with the varied storylines they all meet in the end, and they are all important. Youll meet Lilith, and the fates, angels and devils, and though each will have an air of familiarity, they arent exactly as youll find them anywhere else.We are hoping to carry this on into a series we have tentatively outlined a book based on Sam Hill as in the saying, "What in the Sam Hill?" explaining some of the legend and fact behind the phrase, and drawing our characters into yet another strange, surreal adventure.We hope youll enjoy this book, and if you do, we hope youll leave us a comment, or a review.Welcome to RookwoodDavid Niall Wilson & Steven SavilePraise for Hallowed Ground:"A surreal, pulp school, darkly fantastic oater that sets all the elements of your favorite western tropes on their...

Capturing the electric short fiction energy that led Robert E. Howard to be one of the top fantasy writers of the century, with exclusive serialized eBook stories starring Conan, Solomon Kane, and more by many of todays top writers in fantasy and sword-and-sorcery.Created by the author responsible for Conan of Cimmeria, Solomon Kane is "a man born out of his timea strange blending of Puritan and cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan a knight errant in the somber clothes of the fanatic. A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things, avenge all crimes against right and justice."Robert E. Howard, "The Moon of Skulls"Caught aboard a ship destroyed in a terrible storm, Solomon Kane is the only survivor left clinging to the wreckageand to life. Washed up on a stony beach, he is found by a young woman of the Hotu clan, who brings him back to their fortress in Odawara. While recovering, he discovers sigils and marks designed to protect the clan against demons aligned with the Hideyoshi daimyo. Intent on wiping out any who would resist his rule, the daimyos creatures have spread horror across the islands. The evils they have perpetrated are ungodly, there may only be one man who can put an end to this terror.

He was one of the Del Carpio, an honor-bound wanderer committed to keeping the peace in troubled times, until his sword brothers were slaughtered in a moment of treachery and all that he held dear was taken from him. He now wanders the land in search of the traitor and hating himself for surviving when his brothers did not.Jenn is the Beggar Kings puppet. Like Kane, she was once a fearsome warrior until the night she damned herself forever with one stupid mistake. Reduced to committing acts she never thought herself capable of at the orders of a man she despises, she prays for freedom and wonders at the price she will have to pay to get it.Neither of them understands that they are far more important in the grand scheme of things than they could ever imagine. A dark power is rising in the east, driven by the madness of a man in search of ancient magic and given life through an army that he has pulled from the very depths of the grave. If left unchecked, this corruption will soon cover all of Sankarra, destroying it from the inside out. Kane and Jenn are all that stand between them. Can they remember what once made them great?This is the story of mad gods and beggar kings. This is the story of the Ghosts of the Conquered.

Folks, nobody writes ghost stories like Terry and its fair to say that nobody knows Terry and his work better than Steven Savile. Started by Wright some years ago and now completed masterfully by Steve; MALLHAM CROSS tells the story of a city where everyone is a ghost, inverting the whole ghost story trope by having a hero who is essentially the only living boy in New York. A single house in a city of hauntings which is the only place that isnt home to its own ghosts?
