The Franchise (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781250406583)

The Truman Show meets Game of Thrones in this epic tale of a studio-owned Fantasy world.

A land filled with magic and dragons and wizards and warriors.
Thousands of people live and work within its borders -- fearful of their enemies and loyal to their king.

The classic fantasy world of The Malicarn has been brought to life on the big screen in a series of epic movies, almost entirely populated by characters in total belief that their sham fantasy lives are real.

A fan-favorite actor finds himself doubting the studio's work, but the world of The Malicarn has an almost unstoppable momentum, and bringing freedom to a population who already believe themselves to be free won't be as easy as he thinks.

All the world's a stage.
Meet the players.
