Synopsis "The Relics (in English)"
"Many men have spoken, but no one was listening. How do you know those fiction books on the shelf are untrue? You were told, but have you ever asked Mary Shelley herself or Bram Stoker where they got the ideas? No, because they're long gone. The writers of history are the rulers and politicians. Do you think they want the common man to know that evil, real pure devilish evil, is right behind the door? The rules of man would crumble. Society would break down. Fear is the greatest evil and yet the most reliable. It's the work of the wicked. The Salem Witch Trials, the Holocaust, the Inquisition, they all came about because of fear." --Samuel This is the story of several protagonists from different parts of the world and different times in history as their lives intersect after their exposure to the relics, a collection of weapons and objects that have been around since the dawn of time, always there to shape the course of man, objects that can be used for good or evil depending on the owner. Milo Culper, Jr. faces his father's killer in New York City after inheriting his vicious axe. Killian Lynch must battle his way from Ireland to America in hopes of freeing himself once and for all from the clutches of the mysterious Pendulum, a group that just might be plotting the end of the world, all while caring for the legendary Looking Glass. The enigmatic hunter must fight his way through the Appalachian Mountains through an army of what he calls story-folk-creatures that just shouldn't exist in the world-using Doc Holliday's pistols. And Abigail Williams, the girl who brought down Salem, must learn to cope with everlasting life and a seemingly never-ending war of wits with Jack the Ripper, hoping to claim his Philosopher's Stone before he can kill again.
