Description

: : : : : : : : EPISODE I: BLUE TRUTH : : After Rhone finds herself powerless to save Astra Thuja Helix — the gigantic black beast with a golden horn, and the last unicorn — who fails to escape his slaying, Rhone then solemnly swears to protect all magical creatures forevermore from mankind's blindly destructive capability. Immediately is she captured by the King, accused of magic, and sentenced to death by hanging. Unbreakable, the Grey Ranger Imogen Rhone uses her paranormal knowledge of nature to endure her execution and free herself, a survivor forever. Now it's up to her — the mysteriously hooded, redheaded and heavily-armed female ranger known as Rhone — to protect magic by striking at the heart of that which threatens it the most: The Black Nothing, a dark force which sweeps across the continent of The Whisplins, consuming and decimating populations and driving the people insane. But she's not alone: elsewhere in The Whisplins, a young gardener named Corwin Sam comes of age to learn of his celestial destiny as a powerful prophet who might be able to stop the Black Nothing — if he can track down the map which only he can read. Corwin flees to save his life in a Kingdom where magic is forbidden, joined by friends, mentors, lovers, and magicians as his destiny grows nearer to Rhone's: they must take The Whisplins back from the control of young King Nion, whose black heart is the source of The Black Nothing — before the darkness can consume them all.Mythical, mystical, ecological, and combining elements of folklore, fable, and fairy tale, The Whisplins Trilogy fully immerses readers in a song of magic, and in an antediluvian era from beyond history's memory. : : : : : : : : THE WHISPLINS TRILOGY : : Appearing shortly after The New Yorker's ground-breaking issue dedicated entirely to Science Fiction and Fantasy, The Whisplins Trilogy was first to offer readers a glimpse of Hilde's heavy meta-literary area he calls Freefantasy (a.k.a. Phantasy, Psychfantasy). Influenced by mind-blowing masterpieces of literature from Melville to Vonnegut, but bringing back the energetic gore of Grimm, while spiriting us away to mystical vistas fully soundtrackable by Led Zeppelin, Hilde melds Arthurianic Fantasy with mysticism plus Steampunk & Clockpunk to create the mossy, starlit world of The Whisplins. It's a Trilogy about magic, nature, truth, freedom, crowns, and the future we live in. Meta, mega, sexy, epic — written in a sprawling, bardic tongue, The Whisplins Trilogy is a Psychfantasy wonderball unlike anything else imaginable at all. Take a step into the unknown with The Whisplins Trilogy.The Whisplins Trilogy would shelve well beside books and comics by Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman, Kurt Vonnegut, Philip K. Dick, G.I. Gurdjieff, Edgar Allan Poe, and J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit; films by Tarantino, Jodorowski, Kubrick, Dario Argento and Jim Henson; and vinyl records by Bjork, Nick Drake, Vashti Bunyan, and Led Zeppelin. And if you don't know these artists, well, now you can check them out too. Complete your bookcase collection right now with the addition of The Whisplins Trilogy.
