Η Magdalene Mads Fargus μόλις αποφοίτησε από την Αρχαιολογία και είναι έτοιμη για την πρώτη πραγματική αποστολή της. Όταν επιλέγεται για μια έρευνα στο Ισφαχάν του Ιράν, η εμφάνιση μιας αρχαίας περγαμηνής χάρτη, ενός χαμένου ναού και του μυθικού Στέμματος του Ahura Mazda είναι αρκετή για να την οδηγήσει βαθιά στην έρημο Νταστ-ε Καβίρ. Μαζί της βρίσκεται και ο Von Kraus, ο λαμπρός αλλά αδίστακτος πρώην συμφοιτητής της, που έχει τους δικούς του λόγους να βρίσκεται εκεί. Καθώς η αποστολή ξετυλίγει έναν λαβύρινθο από αρχαία σύμβολα, κρυμμένους μηχανισμούς, καταραμένα κειμήλια και μυστικά που θα έπρεπε να είχαν μείνει θαμμένα, η Mads θα ανακαλύψει πως το πιο επικίνδυνο μέρος μιας ανασκαφής δεν είναι πάντα αυτό που κρύβεται κάτω από τη γη. Και μερικές φορές, η μεγαλύτερη ανακάλυψη είναι εκείνη που κανείς άλλος δεν σκέφτηκε να αναζητήσει.

Evelyn Eaton is a disabled girl who desperately wants to be cured by the dystopian government that has taught her to hate being different. In the Commonwealth, perfection isn't an ideal. It's a requirement. In two weeks, Evelyn will receive the Cure-a procedure that promises to fix the one thing that makes her different. But when her brother receives a mysterious career assignment, Evelyn begins questioning everything she's been taught. Bram Anderson has epilepsy and is considered Unnatural. In the Commonwealth, being Unnatural means being something you were never supposed to be. Something the system can't categorize, correct, or control. Bram has learned to hide who he is, and is in fact thriving as one of the most important people in the Commonwealth. But Evelyn has spent her entire life trying to become exactly what the Commonwealth wants. Read their adventures as they uncover secrets, challenge the world they've been raised to trust, and discover what it truly means to be different. Maybe some things aren't meant to be Cured.

For 665 days, Hell has walked the Earth. Cities have fallen, humanity is dying, and creatures once confined to scripture now roam freely among the ruins. Father Marcus has spent those days doing the only thing he still knows how to do: giving the dying their final prayers and facing the darkness that follows them. A veteran exorcist with a battered faith, a silver cross, a flask hidden beneath his robes, and more enemies in Hell than he cares to count. But on the eve of the 666th day, something changes. The demons know his name. They know his sins. And this time, they are not here to be exorcised. The final reckoning has begun.

Cyrus was born beneath a bleeding sky... The gods called it an omen... The priests called it a curse... His mother called him her son... But there is something in his blood that does not belong to mortals. As war spreads across a world ruled by kings, gods, and ancient grudges, Cyrus is drawn toward a destiny written long before his birth... one that leads from the blood-soaked earth of men to the heights of Olympus itself. The gods have watched mankind from above for centuries. Now, one of their own walks among them. And when Cyrus finally learns what lives inside him, he will have to decide whether he was born to serve the gods... or become the reason they fall.

The runaway woman and the regular man collide in the most unexpected way. Housemates by accident. All Perrie wanted was to have peace in her newly-bought flat in London and to celebrate her new modelling contract. She did not expect to be forced to have a housemate, nor to have to explain why she looked awfully familiar to him. Dave was an unnecessary addition to her anxiety list, yet the man did not plan to leave the flat any time soon. He paid as much as she did and wanted to claim his rights, whether their dual contracts were legal or not. They were left with one choice: sharing the place until they found the solution for the mess. One bedroom and toilet each, and no messing up the shared kitchen. What happens when Dave finally figures why she looks familiar?
