Showing results for "the rival" in Dark Fantasy

Twelve super powered schools. Three devastating events. Only one winner. The World's Finest tournament is coming, and with it comes the chance to truly show the world what you're made of. There's just one problem: for Nick and the rest of Valcav Academy to win, they'll not only have to work together but defeat a new challenger unlike any they have ever seen. And worse? Lord Inferno has entered his own team, and he's more determined than ever to bring Nick over to his side, even if he has to kill everyone at Valcav to do it.

Today the names of H. P. Lovecraft, Robert E. Howard, August Derleth, and Clark Ashton Smith, all regular contributors to the pulp magazine Weird Tales during the first half of the twentieth century, are recognizable even to casual readers and listeners of the bizarre and fantastic. And yet despite being more popular than them all during the golden era of genre pulp fiction, there is another author whose name and work have fallen into obscurity: Seabury Quinn. Quinn's short stories were featured in well more than half of Weird Tales's original publication run.

Harold, the leader of the were-bear clan, and Lily’s marriage was the result of her father, the thief, picking the wrong pockets. She married him to keep the tenuous peace that had existed between humans and were-bears in their small town for years. Now, he’s been killed by a rival clan and as his human wife, she’s in deep...trouble. When Jeremy offers her protection because he doesn’t want to leave her in the cold, she accepts. But Jeremy isn't innocent, at all. Caught in the middle of another battle, no one, and nowhere, is safe.
