Ergebnis für "Elliot" in Action & Abenteuer

Michael hat dem Spiel den Kampf erklärt. Es genügt ihm nicht mehr, in den Schatten zu lauern und er geht einen Weg, der ihn unweigerlich mit den Mächten in Konflikt bringen wird. Aber die Mächte sind keine leichten Gegner. Und auch nicht Michaels einzige Widersacher.

Michael findet sich im Reich des ewigen Königreichs wieder, ohne zu wissen, wie er dorthin gekommen ist oder wer er ist. Trotzdem muss er am Großen Spiel teilnehmen und sich ein neues Schicksal schmieden. Würdest du in einem Kerker voller Monster und seltsamer Magie überleben, wenn deine Niederlage den Tod bedeutet? Allein und mit wenig mehr als seinem Verstand als Hilfe muss Michael als Spieler vorankommen, seine Feinde besiegen und Erfahrung sammeln. Und das alles, während er Intrigen um ihn herum navigiert und seine Bestimmung entdeckt.

Elliot Sawyer wasn’t supposed to be alive. He’d cheated death by changing shifts with one of his men. Sure, his man asked for the change, but guilt gnawed on his heart every second of every day. If he’d been there, maybe he would have seen something, done something to stop the massacre. Leaving Guardian wasn’t an option for him, but changing assignments was.

Monate sind vergangen, seit Michael das Ewige Königreich betreten hat, und während vieles im Spiel ein Rätsel bleibt, ist er sich seiner Rolle im Spiel immer sicherer. Doch sein Überleben – geschweige denn sein Erfolg – ist alles andere als gesichert, und Michael muss einen heiklen Weg bestreiten, um sich seinen Platz zu erobern. Uralte Geheimnisse tauchen wieder auf. Und längst vergessene Wahrheiten werden aufgedeckt.

Michael's plans have shifted, or rather, he has upended them. His once simple plans for raising House Wolf have morphed into something different. Will he succeed at his new goals? Will the Forerunners? Or will Michael's allies be made to pay for his overreach?

On the run, injured, and out of options, I had no choice but to go back to him. Back to the one place I swore I wouldn’t—because staying away was the only way to keep him safe. Jude Hebert. My one-night stand turned unexpected protector. A rugged, guitar-playing lumberjack with broad shoulders and blue eyes that could light up the darkest Maine night. And the man determined to keep me safe.

Michael has escaped the clutches of the Dark, if only temporarily. Surfacing in the world above, he finds matters no less complex than down below and survival as challenging as it had been in the dungeon. Is the harder path the one you must forge on your own? Many want Michael as their ally. Yet more want him dead, and the Dark is not done with him either. Can he find a way to navigate the treacherous waters of the Game and uncover the mysteries about himself? Or will Michael bend to Powers greater than him?

Dace Tolman’s life has been overturned. One moment he was in his apartment and the next, he and the rest of humanity find themselves in a strange world of monsters and magic. A new world. There is nothing benign about mankind’s new home. The Proving Grounds is a world seemingly designed to enhance those worthy of its gifts—and to kill off the rest. Every day is a struggle against the System and its creatures. Can Dace survive its challenges?

Michael reaches Nexus, but finds advancing more challenging than he’d anticipated. Factions abound, allegiances shift, and separating truth from lies is harder than ever. The line between friend and foe blurs, and Michael’s path grows murkier. Nexus is a place of both opportunity and danger. Sitting at the heart of the world, the city is home to thousands—ordinary people, players, but Powers too. Can Michael remain free of their clutches, or will he become entangled in the Powers’ machinations? Will Nexus be the death of Michael?

Michael has taken the Game by the throat. No longer content to lurk in the shadows, he has started down a path that will inevitably bring him into conflict with the Powers. But the Powers are no easy foes. Nor are they Michael’s only adversaries. Other enemies stir. Some confront him openly, while others watch patiently from the sidelines. A lone wolf no more, and with many of his own pieces in play, Michael may find himself more exposed than he believes. The stakes are high. And the schemes of the players convoluted.

Months have passed since Michael first entered the Forever Kingdom, and while a great deal of the Game remains a mystery, his own place in it grows surer. Yet, survival—much less success—is by no means assured, and Michael will have to tread a delicate path to forge a place for himself. Ancient mysteries resurface. And long-buried truths are uncovered. The Forever Kingdom’s past is as murky as the Game, and there are nearly as many truths as factions. But if Michael is to emerge victorious, he must separate fact from fiction.

My new fake boyfriend? I can't stand him. Pascal Gagnon is a broody lumberjack with a pine tree stuck up his self-righteous ass. He needs my help investigating his father's accident, and I need the work to help my PI business get off the ground. We're total opposites—he's an uptight control freak, and I've been described as a hurricane. Forced to live together to keep up appearances while I gather evidence, we bicker nonstop, but the fake relationship ruse is the perfect cover. Even if it means having to tolerate his shirtless piano playing.

“Have you found your new beginning yet?” Peace in Abra’am has ended. Power has switched hands. Though the leaders of Xenith and Sadie fight to maintain order, resistance stirs, proving sometimes those who fight the hardest do so without crowns. It’s unclear who works to heal the world and who profits from its pain. The War of Fire created an illusion of order. For many, the illusion has shattered. But the past does not have to shape the future. From the ashes, something better can rise.

At long last, Michael emerges from isolation. The Kingdom has not changed much since his last venture, but he has. Will he be able to conceal the truth of what he has become? Will he be able to fulfill his many obligations? And most importantly, can he reconnect with his old allies?
