The End of the Magical Kingdom: The Watchmaker's Child (A Fairy Tale War Satire) (eBook, ePUB)

Beschreibung

Wendy is the real "wizard" of the Diamond Empire, a kingdom built on gadgets, robotics, and a free-market society. Using her ultracomputer and her Cadabra-wide surveillance system, she can spy on everybody and plan their futures, playing God, and pulling the strings. But Wendy's secret is spreading quickly. Conspiracies abound about her father being dead and her entire royal ancestry being a sham. What will the kings of Cadabra do once they find out Wendy is just a lonely teenage girl holding unlimited resources and power? Wendy's villains are increasing. Conspiracy buffs, violent protesters, witch covens, assassins, vigilantes, and multinational corporations are all determined to expose Wendy's secrets and destroy the "Diamond Standard", breaking the hold that the Diamond Empire has on the Cadabra economy. It's going to take an act of God to prevent a World War, or at least the sharp mind of a watchmaker's child. If you enjoy existential fairy tales that make you howl with laughter right before breaking your heart, and libertine novels that walk the line between trauma and comedy, The End of the Magical Kingdom is sure to give you funny nightmares. ADVISORY: Although this book is not age-restricted, it contains graphic violence, horrific scenes of emotional abuse, foul language, and controversial subject matter.

Comedy. Fantasy. Tragedy. Horror. A book for the outcasts of society. Find out why this fairy tale satire is being called the "weirdest book you've ever read."

This is the story of three princesses. Mary Melancholy, Sweet Blossom, and Wendy. Once upon a time, they were childhood friends. They've all grown up, each one destined to inherit a kingdom. They haven't seen each other in ten years...and it's time for a reunion.

Book 1 The Evil Princess: What happens when a singing fairy tale princess falls in love with a witch instead of the handsome prince she's destined to marry? This is Mary Melancholy's story.

Book 2 The Saint of Science: It's hard growing up in a House of Evil Queens when you have a conscience and must uphold the integrity of Science and Atheism. This is Sweet Blossom's story.

Book 3 The Watchmaker's Child: Playing God is much harder than it looks on TV, even with unlimited technology at your disposal. Secrets must be protected or empires crumble. This is Wendy's story.

The cartoony world of Cadabra encompasses four kingdoms, each with its own distinct culture, fashion, and economy. The author's goal was to create a discussion about serious contemporary issues through the guise of a cartoony universe. Through exaggerated characters and bizarre plots, we tell the story of our own world, with clashing ideologies and multiple perspectives. This is our world, our culture, our "truths", but shown through funny mirrors. The End of the Magical Kingdom series takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotion into a caricatured world that mirrors our own.

A weird mix of fanfiction, internet trolling, literature, genre & psychological horror...this one's for the outcasts! It's about outcasts, for outcasts, written by an outcast. The final episode of The End of the Magical Kingdom: The Broken Divine is coming in 2022.
