Baldur's Gate 3: Astarion

The roguish charlatan Astarion will free himself from a centuries-long fate of servitude or die (a second time) trying-in this decadently dark fantasy adventure by award-winning author T. Kingfisher.You're too pretty to die.Astarion Ancunin was supposed to be a magistrate, not a vampire spawn. He was supposed to serve the law, not the vicious vampire lord Cazador Szarr. And he was supposed to drink fine wine, not rat blood. Alas-the city of Baldur's Gate cares little for what's supposed to happen.Though he has been powerless to resist his master's bidding, haunting the nighttime streets to fetch warm blood, Astarion has never surrendered his hope. One day, this nightmare must end. He just has to find out how.When the vampire lord announces a twisted competition for his favor, an opportunity presents itself in the form of a rare prize . . . and an unlikely alliance. The blood of a dead god is buried deep beneath Baldur's Gate, and, to get it, Astarion will need the help of a handsome Aasimar paladin named Hahn den Suriel.There are just a few problems. Astarion is not supposed to trust his fellow spawn. He's not supposed to go out into the city for his own ends rather than the vampire lord's. And he's certainly not supposed to strike a deal with a stranger whose golden eyes can snare even a blackened, undead heart.But the city of Baldur's Gate cares little for what's supposed to happen.

new series

Delusion, Volume 1

Nothing is ever quite as it seems in this deeply sinister slow-build gothic horror comic that combines the dark allure of The Picture of Dorian Gray with the haunting melancholy of Interview with the Vampire. The hit WEBTOON coming soon to Disney+ as the series Portraits of Delusion.It's 1935 in Seoul, Korea, and struggling artist Yun Iho has been commissioned by the elderly, reclusive Madam Song Jeonghwa to paint an updated portrait of her. When Iho goes to pick up the art supplies from the previous artist's room, he finds an ominous note tucked between paint tubes: Do not finish the portrait.When he actually meets Madam Song, he finds her to be startlingly young and beautiful, yet she asks him to paint her as though she were eighty. What could it all mean? Listening to her seemingly unrelated stories about a spate of unsolved murders in Shanghai that happened long before Iho was born does little to allay his confusion.In a slowly unfolding revelation, each panel drenched in more dread than the last, Iho learns that no artist has ever left Madam Song's hotel alive. He starts to suspect the horrifying truth of what she is, and what, exactly, she might be capable of. . . .Volume 1 collects episodes 1-20 of the Webtoon comic Delusion.
