Nadine Erdman. (2005). The Binding of the Dead. Vol 4. Hostilities. United States Of America: Berkley Publishing Group
The Binding of the Dead is a collection of short stories about the land of Bargastia. Nadine Eddman takes us on its most tragic and hopeful aspects such as Love, War, Peace and Death. It's deeply introspective work, full of psychological depth and philosophical insight that make it a must-read for any fantasy reader.
In this volume, Nadine creates a world where "bandits", a group of powerful magic users, threaten both the sanctuary of a small community in the town of Arla and the entire Kingdom of Graculus, and when their plans go awry, our heroine Queen Nemia decides to make a personal journey to take care of it. In a series of battles to save the peace of her lands, she will encounter the most vicious enemies she has ever faced, but a promise made without meaning can give hope in humanity when needed the most - she is told she may never truly kill her darkest enemy, which seemingly becomes the death of a young woman who may yet show another side to the shadowy bandits.
Nadine Erdmann's "Die Totenb?nder - Band 4" is a historical work which tells about the misadventures of different individuals on different points in time who now form various factions. These characters comprise anti-Semites, Nazis, communists and even members of the Ahnenerbe or SS staff who had worked for Adolf Hitler. The book tries to differentiate between good and bad in each character and does not take sides vis-a-vis the Second World War..
