Sinopse

1792. Nantucket whalers are invited to found the port of Milford Haven in Wales. What does the arrival of these hardy Quakers – immigrants to America a century before – mean for the local people? And what is the meaning of the beached whale that preceded them? Two cultures rub against each other and distrust grows, driven by the local preacher. As Whaling unfolds concern swerves into hysteria against the incomers and the preacher plans a grotesque, Jonah-inspired fate for the whalers. 
Nathan Munday's debut novel is an exciting mélange of original fiction, historical writing and whaling images. In it he explores our relationship with the natural world, the boundary between faith and superstition, and the age old problem of immigration. Set in historical fact this is a narrative at once modern and contemporaneous, the writing rich in imagery and deceptively tense as its story slides into allegory.

Inspired by the classic and brilliant campaign Curse of Strahd. Darius Starbán, once the son of a great king, now grapples with the weight of centuries of mistakes and the curse of vampirism. His journey to atonement begins with an unlikely entourage - Urien, the Cambion Inquisitor, Yra, his aristocratic ex-boyfriend, and Astrid, a newfound companion with secrets of her own. 
This GameLit Fantasy blends comedy, magick, and light LGBTQ romance into a gripping narrative. Can Darius rise above his mistakes, heal the wounds of Starkovia, and navigate the complex dance of his relationships without succumbing to his own curses? The stakes are high, the path fraught with peril, and the only certainty is that Starkovia — and Darius — will never be the same again. 
King of Dust is a low-spice content book with fade-to-black scenes.
