ロサンゼルス・タイムズ・マガジンで「コミックブック史上最も優れた叙事詩」と評された『サンドマン』は、そのダークで文学的なファンタジーとホラーの世界によって、世界規模の文化的現象を生み出し、状況を一変させた。Audible社とＤＣ社はついに、高い評価を受ける作家ニール・ゲイマンの、ニューヨークタイムズでベストセラー入りしたシリーズを、初めてオーディオ化することになった。

Summers span decades. Winter can last a lifetime. And the struggle for the Iron Throne has begun. As Warden of the north, Lord Eddard Stark counts it a curse when King Robert bestows on him the office of the Hand. His honour weighs him down at court where a true man does what he will, not what he must...and a dead enemy is a thing of beauty. The old gods have no power in the south, Stark’s family is split and there is treachery at court. Worse, the vengeance-mad heir of the deposed Dragon King has grown to maturity in exile in the Free Cities. He claims the Iron Throne.

Dalinar Kholin has challenged the evil god Odium to a contest of champions, and the Knights Radiant and the nations of Roshar have a mere ten days to prepare for the worst. The fate of the entire world - and the Cosmere at large - hangs in the balance.

Tamsyn Muir’s Gideon the Ninth unveils a solar system of swordplay, cut-throat politics, and lesbian necromancers. Her characters leap out of the audio, as skillfully animated as arcane revenants. The result is a heart-pounding epic science fantasy. Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse.

When The Sandman, also known as Lord Morpheus - the immortal king of dreams, stories and the imagination - is pulled from his realm and imprisoned on Earth by a nefarious cult, he languishes for decades before finally escaping. Once free, he must retrieve the three “tools” that will restore his power and help him to rebuild his dominion, which has deteriorated in his absence.

In Act III, we follow Morpheus on a grand journey to take care of family business. He visits with his son Orpheus (Regé-Jean Page), an act that brings with it profound consequences. Accompanied by Delirium (Kristen Schaal), he tracks down their estranged brother, Destruction (David Harewood), the only member of the Endless ever to abandon their post. And at an inn at the intersection of all worlds, a group of travelers are forced together by a storm that threatens to destroy reality itself, with grave repercussions for Morpheus and the rest of the Endless.

In the absolutely packed Act II, the dark fantasy resumes and the Sandman expands into the French Revolution, ancient Rome, 19th-century San Francisco, eighth-century Baghdad, and beyond. New and familiar characters abound, voiced by a bright mix of performers, including Kat Dennings, Regé-Jean Page, Emma Corrin, Michael Sheen, Kristen Schaal, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, Jeffrey Wright, and so many more, including fan-favorite narrators Simon Vance and Ray Porter.

A floating fortress occupied by warrior gnomes. A castle made of sand. A derelict submarine guarded by malfunctioning machines. A haunted crypt surrounded by lethal traps. It was supposed to be easy. One bubble. Four castles. Fifteen days. Capture each one, and the stairwell is unlocked.

After months honing her newfound magic, Rose's new year at Dunhollow Academy promises to be her most spellbinding yet. The academy is hosting a prestigious, once-in-a-decade tournament against rival schools. When Sylvie is selected to a compete, Rose resolves to protect her with her life. She must ally with two of her rivals, a devilish mage and a surly healer, each with motives of their own and plenty of reasons to want her dead.

The death curse has fallen. The demons and angels have invaded the Earth. They plan to rule over humanity, but which side will win and can the people of Earth do anything to stop them? Beelzebub and the demons are too powerful to be stopped. Godfrey and the angels have an ancient weapon that can kill with a thought. The humans have pluck. Um, that might not get it done.

A quiet town in the American Midwest is about to be rocked to its core. As three young sisters come to terms with what they are—being a witch is a real problem in a churchgoing, God-fearing family—a new neighbour with a mysterious past hints at trouble to come. However, the scary woman stalking them could be the least of their worries, as their spellcasting draws the attention of something ancient and evil.

The demons have withdrawn from the mortal realm, the attacks have ceased, but while humanity dares to hope they may have gone for good, the irascible German wizard knows better. In the face of overwhelming odds, he’s going to do the dumbest thing possible … attack. Otto is taking the fight to the demons and he’s not going alone. It’s a stupid strategy, yet he has faith that it will work. However there is a player missing from the board. Where is Anastasia? Now residing with the angels, the human demigod is forced to explore her new status.

Zachary has the shield of God. Anastasia wants it. Need I say more? Immortal werewolf meets … well, whatever Anastasia is, head on. It’s about to get brutal.

A war, then. A war of our own. A war for perfection and cleanliness and order. A war to end suffering. A war to end filth and disease. A war to end immorality and injustice. A war to end blasphemy. The last war this world would ever see. A war to end all.

In the summer of 1998, Zia and Treyton Dreyfuss moved into the Marquil Mansion. Running from their sketchy past, Treyton takes a job as the house’s new caretaker and renovator. Many things had happened inside those walls, things the people of Willow Village talked about in hushed whispers and heated debates. That didn’t bother the Dreyfuss’s, though; they were used to the side eyes and gossip. They thought they could walk onto the property unscathed… that was until the doors opened, and they looked inside.

When eighteen-year-old Alys begins to suffer a string of unfortunate events after her birthday, she soon discovers the mysterious man watching her from afar is responsible for it all. Her seemingly normal life soon makes a dramatic change, suddenly finding herself in a terrifying yet fantastical world. Lovers turn to enemies, foes disguised as friends, and hidden secrets lurk behind every corner. After discovering her true identity, she is forced into a position never asked for, the fate of the entire realm now in her hands.

Have you answered your soul's true calling? Saliva shares the inner mission of an entity known as the Wanderer. For its ninth and final life on Earth, this mysterious spirit wishes to redeem itself for past-life debauchery by saving a depressed artist from self-sabotage. Reincarnating as a sentient cell of bacteria, it hops from one vessel to another via a transfer of spit. The Wanderer relies on you, the listener, its dearest friend and confidant, to complete its holy cycle, breaking the spell of self-doubt for good.

Sera è finalmente libera da Kolis ed è tornata da coloro che le vogliono bene, eppure i ricordi di ciò che ha passato continuano a perseguitarla, anche ora che finalmente può sperare in un futuro con l'altra metà del suo cuore e della sua anima. Nyktos l'ama, la desidera e la accetta senza riserve, e non dubita che sia adatta a essere la Regina degli Dei, ma Sera deve trovare quella stessa fiducia dentro di sé, se vuole convincere le altre Corti a sostenerla contro Kolis per rendere Iliseum e il regno mortale luoghi migliori e più sicuri per tutti.
