A Scar In The Bone (deluxe Limited Edition) [Bok / Inbunden]

A pantheon of forgotten gods. An old grudge between a talk show host, an heiress, and the man they shattered along the way. A rapidly deteriorating AI system. An inconvenient tiara upon the head of a friend.                          It is bedlam on the eighth floor. On this floor, the crawlers are given a new task: find and capture six monsters. The captured monsters will be turned into cards. The stronger, the deadlier, the better. At the end of the floor, the bad guys will also have decks, and they will have some of the most powerful cards available. So it's crucial to assemble the toughest squad possible. But, like always, there is a catch.                                                                        There's always a catch. As Carl and Donut know all too well, just because someone is captured, it doesn't mean they have been tamed. Her name is Shi Maria. She's easily the most powerful monster in their area. If they want to survive, they must capture her. They call her the Bedlam Bride.
