About this listen
A FanFiAddict Most Anticipated Title!
Game of Thrones meets The Truman Show in this epic tale of a Hollywood-owned fantasy world where nothing is quite as it seems to the people who live and die at the studio’s whim.
A land filled with magic and dragons and wizards and warriors.
Thousands of people live and work within its borders, fearful of their enemies and loyal to their king.
The classic fantasy world of The Malicarn has been brought to life on the big screen in a series of phenomenally successful blockbuster movies, almost entirely populated by characters in total belief that their sham fantasy lives are real.
A fan-favorite actor finds himself doubting the studio's work, but this franchise has an almost unstoppable momentum, and bringing freedom to a population that already believes itself to be free won’t be as easy as he thinks.
Critic Reviews
A FanFiAddict Most Anticipated Title
“Elrod’s debut novel is diabolically clever. The conceit grows more intricate and menacing chapter by chapter, decade by myth-weaving decade. The Franchise offers wonderful (and darkly hilarious) insights into the momentum of seductive stories and irresistible lucre.” —Robert V.S. Redick, author of Master Assassins
“Wonderfully fantastical yet worryingly plausible - is it satire? Is it sci-fi or fantasy? Who cares when it’s such a diverting read. So many character and plot threads are woven together to form a remarkable tapestry of ingenious deception and heartless commercialism.” —Charlotte Bond, author of The Fireborne Blade
