Seven girls tied by time. Five powers that bind. One curse to lock the horror away. One attic to keep the monsters at bay. ** After the storm of the century rips apart New Orleans, sixteen-year-old Adele Le Moyne wants nothing more than her now silent city to return to normal. But with home resembling a war zone, a parish-wide curfew, and mysterious new faces lurking in the abandoned French Quarter, normal needs a new definition. As the city murder rate soars, Adele finds herself tangled in a web of magic that weaves back to her own ancestors. Caught in a hurricane of myths and monsters, who can she trust when everyone has a secret and keeping them can mean life or death? Unless . . . you're immortal.

A Watty Award Winner, Trailblazer Category 2016 In 1896, dinosaurs started the infection that ended the world. Carmen has lived her entire life in New York City, a city of opium and invention, of rotting tenements and marble mansions; a divided metropolis built on the backs of the dinosaurs that never died out, kept safe by the rivers surrounding it. When a mysterious illness spreads from the deinos to the humans, Carmen must start surviving, trapped on an island that's no longer home, where the dead won't stay buried, and the people are more dangerous than the dinosaurs themselves. Where were you when it all began? +++ Selected by the creators of The Walking Dead, courtesy of The Walking Dead: Road to Survival game.

Trapped within the land of dreams, a beast shall awaken; Demonic and evil, heroes forsaken. But beneath the full moon, lies a shimmering star; A curse darkens the path, cast by Angels afar. Clock beating quickly, death close behind; Until all things unfold, the planets again align. When time stands still, all the world will collapse; Unless they discover in time, the keys to one's past. Plagued by livid dreams that are coming true, a dark power she has yet to control, and left without any memory of her past, Lillian is thrown into the supernatural world to fend for herself. Will she be able to survive, control her powers, and hold onto her humanity before her fate comes knocking? ~~~~~~~~ Arising Fate is a thrilling fantasy story that plunges the reader into a world that thrives on beauty and terror. Its focus is on the development of a new supernatural creature who has been made from contradictions. A creature who is both demonic and angelic, who craves annihilation and death but who also desires life and beauty. Arising Fate is about how one finds the beauty and ribbons of light within the darkness. It is a book and concept that I have been developing for five years now and has been based on personal stories and experiences. All of us have seen tragedy, experienced loss and pain. Yet, despite all of it, the lucky ones have found a way to push past that darkness towards the light. Arising Fate deals with the battle of one's own mind on multiple platforms. Each characters' experiences have shaped who they have become and who they are becoming as some search for that light and others get trapped beneath the shadows. I hope you all enjoy

Florida Forest Service duty officer Ray Lumley is in love with a white fringetree. Not an I-read-Walden-in-high-school love; a sweaty, sappy, I-want-to-rub-against-you-'til-I-get-splinters love. It's awkward. So, he's relieved to learn that he's really hot for Trivia, the dreadlocked, radical environmentalist nymph who lives inside the tree. Better yet, she wants to share an eternity of Arcadian delights with him. But first she has to kill the man she holds responsible for a spate of forest fires--Ray's boss, a mid-level bureaucrat (and soccer dad) who she insists is the King of the Woods. -- King of the Woods, or Trivial Pursuit retells the myth of rex Nemorensis as an urban fantasy.

Join Dr John Hunter in his unrelenting quest to unveil the hidden and explosive beginnings to civilisation. Believing he has discovered the key to unleashing the weapon that sank Atlantis, a German property developer requests the help of Dr John Hunter to validate his mysterious find. Hunter's acceptance leads the maverick academic on a journey from the headquarters of a clandestine organisation in England, to a lost city in the heart of the Brazilian Rainforest, and climaxes inside a chamber hidden deep beneath Egyptian Heliopolis. Pioneering theory is spliced by epic battles, daring escapes, and elaborate schemes aimed at unravelling a secret history hidden from humanity for the past twelve thousand years.
