James Victor: No Gods At Night, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Magellan dies in the end. Lapulapu kills him.

Check Wikipedia and you'll easily know that.

But what if folklore creatures had a hand in weaving their history?

There are no such creatures on Lapulapu's island. He has banished those humans cursed for crimes against nature. For his legendary feat, the nymphean guardians responsible for the curse gone wrong reward him with bountiful harvests and the hand of their much-desired princess.

But a rumor takes root. Few of those creatures have gained the ability to unstably shapeshift back into humans. Some say Lapulapu secretly harbors them. Lies...but he soon learns that someone he loves is ironically one of them. They only want one thing-their full humanity back. Side with them and he'll face execution. Side with nature's guardians and he'll lose his beloved.

When Magellan drops anchor to colonize the islands, Lapulapu must choose-is he for either faction, for humanity, or for his entire homeland?

Under Spanish colonization, the war amongst Filipino folklore creatures rages for centuries, entangling real characters along the way. No Gods At Night Book I, first in a historical epic fantasy series, will traverse not only their struggle, but also their journey towards independence.
