Imagine if the human race became so evolved that we were telepathic, if we were able to communicate without even looking at each other. Imagine if we could connect with others at such a deep mental level that we actually could manually alter their thought patterns. Imagine if we did. Imagine if we created a war with effects so catastrophic that we make the majority of the earth uninhabitable. Imagine if the surviving world leader created a safe haven for us, but they took our thoughts. Imagine if you couldn't imagine. everyday your mind would follow a preset pattern of "Safe" thoughts. The world is peaceful, safe, unchanging, and utterly boring. Imagine this. Then imagine you couldn't do it any more. Imagine that your mind became so numb that you cracked and started a revolution of free-thinkers. You stormed through Haven freeing the oppressed citizens, and you were a hero. Until your best friend was shot. Your supporters captured and integrated back into the system. Imagine you went into hiding, and imagine that you were ready for a second fight. Torrence has spent a long time gathering up his strength for a rematch and he is ready for a death match. So, Imagine this...

Stephen and Charlotte are typical college students discovering their place in the world. But just when they think they have it all figured out, Charlotte is taken from the simple physical world by a power unheard of in science, religion, or myth. Will Stephen be able to guide Charlotte out of the dark and back to normal life? Or will they both be trapped forever? I would like to dedicate this novel--my first in a long time-- to Annah Rogers, for helping me to start writing again and reminding me of just how much I love storytelling. Thank You, Annah.

Castles are marvelous feats of architecture. They are also significant constructions. The towering bastions, turrets and massive stone walls made them a powerful fortification in war. They serve as homes to some of the most influential figures throughout history. They have held both bandits and knights, dungeons and treasures, great halls and dragons, and one for certain, secrets...
