Ergebnis für "Faust 1" in Horror

Las Vegas, Stadt der Sünde – und der Dämonen, wie Daniel Faust, Gangster und Magier, nur allzu gut weiß. Als er angeheuert wird, um Rache an den Mördern einer jungen Frau zu nehmen, gerät Daniel ins Netz einer Intrige, in deren Zentrum niemand geringeres als der Prinz der Hölle steht. Jemand, der Faust heißt, sollte eigentlich wissen, was passiert, wenn man sich mit Dämonen einlässt. Doch Caitlin, die rechte Hand des Höllenfürsten, ist klug und verführerisch – und so lässt er sich breitschlagen, einem uralten Artefakt nachzuspüren, für das jeder magisch Begabte in Las Vegas über Leichen gehen würde.

Nobody knows the seedy underbelly of Las Vegas like Daniel Faust, a sorcerer for hire and ex-gangster who uses black magic and bullets to solve his clients' problems. When an old man comes seeking vengeance for his murdered granddaughter, what looks like a simple job quickly spirals out of control. Soon Daniel stands in the crossfire between a murderous porn director; a corrupt cop with a quick trigger finger; and his own former employer, a racket boss who isn't entirely human.

Alex has taken firm control over his county as the count of Brit. By and large, everything has settled into a fairly normal pattern for him, his Numbered, and his wife. The problem of course is there's still an ongoing war between two duchies, and Regina Tanulf, Alex's liege and lord, has plans for him. Plans that he wants no part of. Except that he doesn't really have a choice in the matter. Everything begins to spin back out of control as a messenger from the Wild Lands arrives with a plea for help.

Alex is dead. Dead, and apparently with a one-way ticket to a place that only the worst of the worst go. All for a simple choice he made about a product his company owned. Damned for all time. Luckily for him, he's about to be given a chance. Another choice to make. He can return to the land of the living, though his soul would belong to another. Except the world he's being sent to isn't the same one he came from. It's not even a similar period in time, but from something long past in history. The dark ages.

Steven Conley liebt den Stadtteil, in dem er wohnt. Lediglich sein ihn fortwährend angrabender Nachbar ist ein Wermutstropfen. Steven verteilt einen Korb nach dem anderen, denn der aufdringliche Carl Benting ist absolut nicht sein Typ. Was Steven jedoch nicht weiß, ist, dass Carl sich nicht so einfach abspeisen lässt, sondern sich zusehends in seine krankhaften Fantasien hineinsteigert – bis es so weit ist, dass er sie um jeden Preis realisieren will. Carl entführt Steven und verschleppt ihn in ein leer stehendes Gebäude. Er nimmt an, dass ihn dort niemand bei der Verwirklichung seiner blutrünstigen Träume stören wird.

The war with Gaelis has gone poorly for Alex's foes and well for his allies. He's enriched himself, empowered his county with that coin, and built his county ever higher. The war swings in favor of his Duchess. Yet the war still goes on. The end doesn't seem to be near, nor does Alex feel as if it is as simple as he'd once thought it. Because spring is here.

Because more than ever, he has a lot to lose, including his newborn children.
