Став бессмертным наследником предыдущего Кардинала, Капак Райми вот уже десять лет управляет городом. И с каждым годом он все больше понимает, что город - гиблое место, управлять которым ему все сложнее. К тому же в городе вдруг появляется новая банда мистических виллаков, древних и могущественных жрецов инков. Их власть превосходит Кардинала, они настраивают против него народ и преступные группировки. Внезапно Капак исчезает. И его верный помощник Форд Тассо поручает сыну легендарного ассасина Алу Джири расследовать исчезновение Кардинала...

«Неофициально требовалось, чтобы передовые бойцы были запачканы кровью во время своей подготовки. Каждый из десяти гвардейцев в охране убил хотя бы один раз во имя Кардинала. Я убил трижды». Член личной гвардии Кардинала, Эл Джири, расследует циничное убийство, но пока еще не знает, что в самом ближайшем будущем его преданность хозяину будет подвергнута суровому испытанию – люди в белых одеждах, Паукар Вами и сам влиятельный Кардинал – никто не останется безучастным. Потому что у Города свои законы.

Zom-B is a radical new series about a zombie apocalypse, told in the first person by one of its victims. The series combines classic Shan action with a fiendishly twisting plot and hard-hitting and thought-provoking moral questions dealing with racism, abuse of power and more. This is challenging material, which will captivate existing Shan fans and bring in many new ones. As Darren says, "It's a big, sprawling, vicious tale...a grisly piece of escapism, and a barbed look at the world in which we live. Each book in the series is short, fast-paced and bloody. A high body-count is guaranteed!"

Отправляясь в безымянный город, где правит суровый и таинственный Кардинал, молодой Капак Райми собирался влиться в ряды гангстеров. Но город распорядился иначе, а, как известно, город и Кардинал связаны, как сиамские близнецы, у которых на двоих одна черная порочная душа. Постепенно Капак осознает, что не помнит своего прошлого, его жизнь как будто началась с приезда в город. Вокруг хватает и других странностей - бесследно пропадают люди, мгновенно исчезая из память всех, кто их знал, по улицам бродят слепцы в хламидах, время от времени наползает странный туман...
Только тщательно оберегаемый Кардиналом список Аюамарка даст Капаку Райми ответы. Ответы и ключ к могуществу.

Hell is revealed in the sixth nail-biting, hair-rending, creepy cool episode of the Demonata.
Fire! It's all around me, fierce, intense, out of control. I feel the hair on my arms singe and know I have only seconds before I burst into flames. Total panic. There's a horrible shrieking sound, piercing and destructive. My eardrums and eyeballs should burst. "It's hell!" I moan.
One boy's life ripped to shreds before his eyes…
One wrathful demon master hellbent on revenge…
An army of grisly Demonata on the rampage…
It's the end of the world as we know it.

"The Evil And The Pure is a deliciously dark delight; a gritty, realistic look at the depths of human depravity. The journeys of the four men are fascinating and enviably complex. The twists and turns have you reeling with shock. A glory to read. 5/5 stars." Matthew R Bell's BookBlogBonanza.
"A thoughtful and enthralling examination of a society that is seedy, corrupt and painfully uncompromising.

What had I done before coming to the city? I couldn't remember. It sounded crazy but my past was a blank. I could recall every step since alighting from the train, but not a single one before.

Young, quick-witted and cocksure, Capac Raimi arrives in the City determined to make his mark in a world of sweet, sinister sin. He finds the City is a place of exotic dangers: a legendary assassin with snakes tattooed on his face who moves like smoke, blind Incan priests that no one seems to see, a kingpin who plays with puppets, and friends who mysteriously disappear as though they never existed. Then Capac crosses paths with The Cardinal, and his life changes forever.

The Cardinal is the City, and The City is The Cardinal. They are joined at the soul. Nothing moves on the streets, or below them, without the Cardinal's knowledge. His rule is absolute.

When Capac discovers the extent of The Cardinal's influence on his own life, he is faced with hard choices and his own soaring ambition. To find his way, Capac must know himself and what he is capable of. But how can you trust yourself when you can't remember your past?
