Mankind has lost out to the HINTERKIND and they are now a
species facing extinction. The world has been run down and
the fighting between species is deadly. Worst of all is a
group of Nazi like Vampires that have come from Europe and
are murdering and draining the blood from every species
they
come upon.
A fey helps a human try to find those she has been
separated
from and try to avoid the Vampires. Only his choices
become
limited and many lives are put in danger as species try to
survive in a world out of control.
HINTERKIND is an interesting story line. It deals with the
fey royalty, the few humans left and the Vampires bent on
world domination. The artwork does not show the fey as
beautiful, which is a nice change. They are crazy as most
fey and the power hungry ones pay for their manipulations,
in unforeseen twists.
Ian Edginton gives us a scary twist on a world ran by
HINTERKIND in HINTEKIND VOL 2.
The second volume of the hit series begins with Princess
Tersia, who has a vision of the future and the shape of
things to come. In this vision she's married to Jon Hobb and
carrying his baby. Oh, and there's a dragon! Is it a dream
or a nightmare? Meanwhile, bounty hunters Starla and Jubal
find the tables are turned as they're run to ground by a
Centaur posse.
