In 1985, Tears for Fears told us an important truth: "Everybody Wants to Rule the World." Almost thirty years later, Lorde covered that song, proving that everyone still wants to rule the world. What is Infinity: Chronicles of Nick About and Why Should I Care? There are eight books planned in the Chronicles of Nick series, all with titles that start with In-, like Infamous, Inferno, and Incontinent, which takes place far into the future when Nick is in a nursing home with some powers that are a little less than magical. It's a weird, wild world on the page, so we can only imagine what it'll be on the big screen. More people will soon be familiar with Kenyon's Dark-Hunters, because movies and TV shows are in development based both on her main series and the Chronicles of Nick series. Main character Nick himself appears as an adult in Kenyon's Dark-Hunter series. Fans of her Dark-Hunter series can see a softer side of series mainstays like Acheron, Kyrian, and Simi. Instead, Kenyon populates Infinity with more cameos than an episode of Entourage.

During their down time, we've gotta warn you, they engage in lots of…let's just say, not-kid-appropriate activities.īut cool down, there, Shmoopers: Infinity is a young adult spin-off-we said the protagonist was fourteen, for Pete's sake-so there are none of those risqué elements here.

The Dark-Hunter series is about servants of Greek gods and goddess living in the modern day to defend humanity against vampires, werewolves, and other supernatural beasties. How else can you explain 60 novels in a decade? There aren't any witches in Infinity, but the freakishly prolific Kenyon might be one herself. That series began in 2002, and for the next thirteen years, Kenyon published over 60 novels and manga adaptations of her work. Kenyon published Infinity in 2010 as a spin-off of her super-successful Dark-Hunter series.

Sherrilyn Kenyon's Infinitytells the story of Nick Gautier (that's pronounced "Go-shay," ladies and gents), a fourteen-year-old kid who meets a variety of magical creatures and demons and teams up with them to battle a zombie plague sweeping the French Quarter. We mean, seriously, after you're done fighting the undead, what you really need is a beignet and some dark coffee to recharge. It's the perfect, hip setting for a book about a young man discovering he has hidden power. New Orleans is home to wild parties, delicious food, and-if American Horror Story taught us anything-witches who are as vengeful as they are stylish. Nope, today we're visiting New Orleans, where the annual Mardi Gras festival features a slogan that, in English, means "Let the good times roll." Infinity: Chronicles of Nick Introductionĭon't click that back button: you haven't accidentally wandered into an immersion course in French.
