Hermit Kingdom: the Purple Immortal

by Marc Seraphs

Hermit Kingdom: the Purple Immortal is an allegorical political satire and fandom (clash of clans) novella about totalitarian governments with hermetic tendencies styled as "Hermit Kingdoms." It's a tale of plots and counter-plots, collaboration, love, and betrayal; the fate of a gregarious clan, their allies and the wake of an unfamiliar and evil threat, as each batten down the hatches for that epic clash of clans.

It begins when a downtrodden leader goes looking for an alliance in the wrong place, "the boondocks of the hermit," and inevitably finds no comfort but happens on something unexpected: an opportunity...

In the boondocks of the hermit, a great effort is being undertaken to fortify and create a powerful weapon at the expense of the civilian sector...

Meanwhile, a gregarious clan holds parliament to address growing threats, code named the "purple immortal" in their world when the flagship village of the clan is unexpectedly and preemptively attacked, creating a vacuum in the clan.

Though risque and rife with humor (sometimes dark), Seraphs message is quite clear that there are ramifications for our actions--social and political acts--not excluded.
