Features: The "Angeles" series consists of seven volumes, with the story centered around the MacKenzie family in Scotland. It spans from the harsh Nordic North in the 9th century to the Crusades in the 12th century, and even into the future of 2020, telling a magnificent epic of light versus darkness from eternity to eternity. The author's art team has created numerous exquisite illustrations, maps, and coats of arms for each volume, blending unique historical and mythological fantasy elements. To perfect this vast work, the author has specially hired eight historians as consultants, ensuring every paragraph is historically accurate, accompanied by a 13-page bibliography, showcasing meticulous effort. In addition to the novel, they have also collaborated on a series of related historical reference books, providing in-depth yet accessible background knowledge on various themes mentioned in the story. Each novel volume is expected to release four historical companion books, with four already available: "Vikings," "King Arthur," "Anglo-Saxons," and "Medieval Monks." In 2003, the first volume, "Legend Begins," was first launched in Brazil, immediately capturing attention and dominating the bestseller list for 25 consecutive weeks, ranking among the top ten bestsellers of the year! In 2004, it became the most anticipated highlight at the world's largest Frankfurter Buchmesse. Not only did the world's largest Spanish-language publisher, Planeta Editorial, acquire the entire series rights for a staggering price, but it has now been sold to 22 countries. Derived products include soundtracks, paper strategy games, role-playing games, game cards, action figures, puzzles, and various stationery items. Plans are underway to adapt it into a film, comics, computer games, and interactive educational CDs, making it clear that in the coming years, readers worldwide will find it impossible to avoid the "Angeles fever"!
