Book Description
A fallen realm must rise again. The dark is but a shadow of its former glory. Corruption, propaganda, and terror have flooded the underworld, poisoning morale and diluting the popular will. The once-powerful demon lords have fled and the former king's few remaining supporters are vilified and hunted by roving gangs. The demonic forces that now wield power in the black halls have grown fat on plunder, and they'll not give it up easily. In order to prevail, Max and Arinna must rally new and old allies into an army. They will wage war to restore the throne and reclaim the soul of the dark. Drastic measures will most definitely be necessary and they'd better accomplish them quickly before Max's final moments bleed away.

Will he find some half-decent gear that he can actually wear? Or will it all come crashing down?

The light has ruled for a thousand years. Now it ends. Max's coworkers treat him like hot garbage, and his manager is a superficial dolt.

When he learns his task is to free the daughter of the god of death who's been chained and tortured for centuries, he is stunned. Max had better figure things out, and fast. As an unwelcome undead in a world oppressed by the corrupt tyranny of light, there are whole orders pledged to eradicate his kind. To even come close to completing his quest, Max will need cunning, determination, and a whole lot more than one measly hit point.

Book Description
The official inside story of the discovery of the bones of Richard III now a major motion picture starring Sally Hawkins and Steve Coogan The mystery of who Richard III really was has fascinated historians, readers and audiences familiar with Shakespeare's dastardly portrait of a hunchbacked monster of royalty for centuries. In 2012, the remains of a man with a curving spine, who possibly was killed in battle, were discovered underneath the paving of a parking lot in Leicester, England. Phillipa Langley, head of The Richard III Society, spurred on by the work of the historian Michael Jones, led the team of who uncovered the remains, certain that she had found the bones of the monarch. When DNA verification later confirmed that the skeleton was, indeed, that of King Richard III, the discovery ranks among the great stories of passionate intuition and perseverance against the odds. The news of the discovery of Richard's remains has been widely reported by the British as well as worldwide and was front page news for both the New York Times and The Washington Post. Many believe that now, with King Richard III's skeleton in hand, historians will finally begin to understand what happened to him following the Battle of Bosworth Field (twenty miles or so from Leicester) and, ultimately, to know whether he was the hateful, unscrupulous monarch of Shakespeare's drama or a much more benevolent king interested in the common man. Written in alternating chapters, with Richard's 15th century life told by historian Michael Jones (author of the critically acclaimed Bosworth - 1485) contrasting with the 21st century eyewitness account of the search and discovery of the body by Philippa Langley, The Lost King will be both an extraordinary portrait of the last Plantagenet monarch and the inspiring story of the archaeological dig that finally brings the real King Richard III into the light of day.
