Fuck the apocolipse, what are we meant to do without power?

Wachin the start of Grown Ups i realised that we are, and are raising a generation of people how would be fucked sideways if we didnt have electricity.
Hell, its already a bitch when you lose it for a few hours, right before bed time. But gone forever....?

The man (played by Adam Sandler) was trying to get his kids to play a game of Snakes and Ladders when the kids held controllers in there hands as the screen showed a game where they cut off peoples heads on a cruse ship-- and you could drown them.
Im more then sure we can handle an apocolipse, zombie invasion--seriously, im imune to a lot of everyday violence, imagine what the next set of kids are gonna be like?

My question, seriously, what are you gonna do if you lost electricity?
And for fun, for those out there whose first thought is 'generator' we lose petral (gas, fuel) too.
What the hell is there to do?

            Synopsis
Set in a fantastical medieval Europe, this is the second book in a compelling trilogy of court intrigue, adventure and romance. Now, Wynter Moorehawke finds herself alone for the first time in her life, caught up in confusing formalities and politics very different to life back at court.

It seems that every tyrant or bully who has ever threatened the kingdom is sending delegates to meet with the Rebel Prince, and Wynter is increasingly nervous of Alberon's intentions.

Razi and her beloved Christopher soon make an appearance, but where friends go old enemies soon follow, and Wynter finds herself confronted with the infamous Loups-Garous. It is to Christopher's adopted people, the nomadic Merron, who she must now turn for sanctuary. But the Merron have sided with Shirken, the woman who has made it her life's work to wipe their race from the face of the earth.

What is behind the conspiracy, and is Alberon at the centre of it all?
