Resultados para "Tiger! Tiger!" en Ocultismo

A brilliant short story demonstrating how a truly balanced set of dilemmas can allow a reader to conclude two different endings. In this case a young man is faced with two doors. One holds a door with a ferocious tiger. The other? A beautiful lady whom he would immediately marry. The struggle comes not so much in defining a choice, but the reasons that brought the young man to the choice, and who helps him make the choice.

Gregori Vailean is living the dream: A supportive-albeit-unorthodox family… A beautiful, brilliant, and brutal girlfriend… And, after graduating at the top of his class from the prestigious Stryker’s Academy, the life he’s worked his entire life for. So when he starts to catch glimpses of trouble beyond the veil of his perfect life—a mother who suffers in her sleep, a father who’s haunted by his past, and a wayward brother with a dangerous secret—Gregori knows that he has what it takes to save the day. What he doesn’t have, however, is a clue…

A single night, a single moment, changed everything; Xander Stryker changed everything. But the worse has yet to come… Because, like the world, Xander Stryker has been changed, as well, but nobody—not even his wife, Estella—can be certain if this is for better or for worse. With apocalyptic threats rising from both the human world and the mythos world, however, the only certainty is that Xander is one of the only people on the planet that stands a chance of facing what’s coming.

Xander Stryker has faced a lot in the past few years: an abusive, misery-hungry stepfather; a psychotic rogue with a vendetta against Xander’s bloodline; super-powered hunters; miles and miles of blood-thirsty rogues; and, of course, a slew of enemies who revered themselves as gods. Yet, all of their boasts and all of their claims meant little when Xander was finished with them. Until now….

Xander Stryker thought he’d seen his fair share; thought there was nothing left to lose. He was wrong. Now, Xander finds himself living night-by-night in the forest with a pack of shape-shifters. It might not be much, but it’s all he has left. But even that, with the arrival of a ragtag group seeking his help, is put in jeopardy.
