You may recall that earlier this year, EN Publishing acquired the rights to publish the popular Story Hour, Metamorphosis - From Dretch to Demon Lord, by the prolific critter-creator, Blackdirge. This takes the form of a trilogy of novels: Death of a Demon Lord, The Tides of Chaos, and Ascension. The first novel, Death of a Demon Lord, is now available - with the two sequels at roughly 3-month intervals.

Death is only the beginning…

The wicked archmage Hazergal Redfist is dead, slain by the traitorous hand of his closest friend and confidant. The world rejoices as the tyrant mage’s empire comes crumbling down, ending two centuries of brutal tyranny and war. But fate has only begun to weave the twisted skein of Hazergal’s destiny, and as the light and warmth of life slip away, the former archmage finds himself on the bleak, demon-haunted planes of the Abyss, his soul condemned for all eternity.

Now a petitioner - the feeble soul shell from which all planar life is created - Hazergal is a shadow of his former self, seemingly bereft of the awesome power he commanded in life. Alone, defenseless, and beset by the fell inhabitants of the Abyss, Hazergal faces countless eons of torment and humiliation, his eternal reward for a lifetime of wickedness. But Hazergal soon realizes that he is different from the other abyssal petitioners. Memories of his former life remain, and in the deepest recesses of Hazergal’s soul a terrible power grows, a power that will propel him along a course no mortal has ever undertaken, ultimately leading to the pinnacle of fiendish might.

But such power is a bright beacon of opportunity to the terrible abyssal rulers, and Hazergal soon finds himself embroiled in the lethal politics of the chaotic plane. Forced to emulate the demonic inhabitants of the Abyss in both body and mind, Hazergal must navigate a treacherous landscape of chaos and evil aided only by a curious rogue devil, and his own formidable intellect. And although destruction and damnation awaits him at every turn, the faint specter of ultimate power beckons Hazergal on, as he makes the arduous climb from dretch to demonlord.

Double sweet. Thanks, even though I'm sure this is mostly what was already written on the Story Hour, I can't wait to get a copy. I enjoy reading hard print over computer images anyday.
 


Okay, a new thought.

I love Blackdirge, (not in that way sicko :p ) but $19.99 for 154 pages? Don't you think that is a little high? Even a Terry Goodkind novel close to 1,000 pages is under $8.

I know ENWorld is tight on money as of late and I know this is a smaller production run that most full length novels, such as a Terry Goodkind novel, but this seems a bit pricey, don't you think.

How many 154 page books are you going to sell in this series for $19.99?

However, tell me this is a fundrasing project for ENWorld and I could turn the other cheek, at least once. If there are 10 books in the series at $19.99 and only 154 pages, I might have to rethink the purchase, and I think it is only right to know that information going into this purchase.

EDIT: if there are only 5 books in the series and the money is mostly going to fund raise for ENWorld I could fork out $99.95 for that, over time of course.

Well to be fair, I'm think the format will be 6x9 or something like that whick is larger than your typical paperback book. A 145pg 6x9 paper back would be about ~250 pages in standard foramt, IIRC.

It's what they call a trade paperback in the biz (I used to manage a Barnes & Noble). So it's a bit bigger than the standard "mass-market" paperback.

Just to confirm, this has new crunch in it, right? If so, is it just NPCs, or other new material?

Also, will copies be available to buy at Gen Con, or is Lulu our only option to acquire a copy?
