Summary

Ulther, year 194 after the Scourge 


The Old Gods are dead, according to the Meager One’s prophets. The dead pyres, always lit during the years of the plague, are little more than a bitter memory. A new era dawns in Boreal, marked by thunder weapons and warships. The nations of tomorrow, proud, and fierce, are being forged; and among them, unstoppable, a common enemy rise: the Taibnian Empire.
The city of Mur’ubi is now the strategic location that conditions the sea dominion of the known world. When a brutal murder leads the House Mur Asyb to retake an old blood feud, four men will dive into the shadows to face ghosts of their own: Naud, a young assassin in the cult of the Goddess Mahyarat, will shudder upon discovering a past that contradicts that which he thinks he knows. Zaiel Mevnoras, Armada veteran turned Seneschal, will feel on his shoulder the weight of responsibilities he never thought to undertake. Nezaj, patriarch of the Mur Asyb, will fight to keep his lineage’s influence sunk into rage and resentment. And it is precisely there, in the shadows, where Faruh lives, an old soldier caught up in an old promise, whose blind eyes have damned him to make do in the streets.

    Jill was once a rising star in the art world—a painter of rare talent and emotional depth. But too many rejections, too many domestic disappointments, and the slow suffocation of her creative fire have left her empty. She hasn’t picked up a brush in months. Until he arrives. 
    Josh is a quiet, enigmatic stranger who appears one snowy evening with an uncanny interest in Jill’s forgotten artwork. His praise is intoxicating, his presence oddly electric—and something about him awakens a dark muse within her. She begins to paint again. Vivid, sensual, haunting portraits of Josh emerge from her hand—images unlike anything she’s ever created before. But with each brushstroke, the line between inspiration and obsession blurs. 
    As the paintings grow bolder, her relationships begin to fray. Her longtime partner Brian sees one of them and moves out. Their son Peter has a glimpse of Josh and starts asking difficult questions. When Josh vanishes as mysteriously as he came—leaving behind only a cryptic word: Bezalel—Jill finds herself moved to create her first masterpiece. 
    What happens when the muse disappears? What remains when memory itself is taken? 
    A taut, eerie tale of lost time, creative resurrection, and the price of touching the supernatural—The Visitor will haunt you long after the last page is turned.

    It’s the end of the world, and everyone’s getting a little bit strange. 
    For Kristian, living in the Chip-Center and cut off from his friends, life has become a nearly endless sim fantasy, mostly centered around a long-lost love. 
    For Sanna, also living in the Chip-Center but out of touch with Kristian, life is mostly about her collection of animals… although she misses being able to communicate with them telepathically. 
    For Sebastian, it’s all about his last promise to Maria, which is soon going to force him to talk to the angry mob outside. For the richest people in City of Finland, it’s all about the entertainment…

    If you're familiar with Grizzly Adams, you've likely seen our past 1970s movies and TV series produced by Sunn Classic Pictures, Inc. The real Grizzly Adams was a rugged frontier woodsman, hunter, animal trainer, and entertainer with a deep connection to the American West's wildlife. Born in Massachusetts in 1812, John "Grizzly" Adams left his wife and daughters in 1849 to make a living. During his travels, he obtained a cub bear he named Ben Franklin, after its mother died. Over time, Ben and Grizzly became like family, sharing many adventures, including performing with the P.T. Barnum Circus. Although Grizzly trained wild animals, many of his injuries came from the dangerous animals he worked with. He became famous but tragically passed away in 1860 after returning home for a final visit to his family. 
    Our new Grizzly Adams story takes place in the present day, featuring his great-great-great-grandson, a big man like his ancestor. After being discharged from the military, he encounters a terrible car accident involving a grizzly bear. He rescues a young boy, Tony, and a baby grizzly bear whose mother had died trying to protect her cub. After helping Tony and the cub, Grizzly takes them to town, where Tony and the cub are adopted. The cub is named Ben, and a new adventure begins for Grizzly, Tony, and Ben.
