The fate of the Geisteskranken is to inevitably find oneself in the Afterdeath.
As these forces converge on the boy, there's one more obstacle: time is running out.īecause as the delusions become more powerful, the also become harder to control. Trouble is, there are many who would see a god in their thrall, including the High Priest's own doppelgangers, a Slaver no one can resist, and three slaves led by possibly the only sane man left. For the High Priest Konig, that means creating order out of the chaos in his city-state, leading his believers to focus on one thing: helping a young man, Morgen, ascend to become a god. Sustained by their own belief-and the beliefs of those around them-they can manipulate their surroundings. Violent and dark, the world is filled with the Geisteskranken-men and women whose delusions manifest. And someone is just mad enough to believe he can create a god. When belief defines reality, those with the strongest convictions-the crazy, the obsessive, the delusional-have the power to shape the world. Fletcher is what I foresee as the beginning of a masterpiece series in the grimdark fantasy genre. and the fulfillment of humanity's desires may well prove to be its undoing. Beyond Redemption, the first book in the Manifest Delusions series by Michael R. Brett, and Neil Gaiman conjures a gritty mind-bending fantasy, set in a world where delusion becomes reality. The characters so far are mostly archetypes, but the plot is at least novel. The underlying concept is quite interesting, it’s effectively a grimdark setting with mental illnesses as magic powers.
