"He was a fallen angel, reclaimed and chosen as one of God's earthly warriors. There are very few left on this plane of existence- and he hasn't been seen for centuries. It's said that he has been searching... for you." Lila Simmons didn't know what to expect when she received an acceptance letter from the exclusive, mysterious Faith Heights Academy. Certainly not a whirlwind of inhuman sounds in the dead of the night, and bloody hand prints in the school's locked basements. Certainly not a handsome angel claiming to be her soulmate, in this life and her many before it. Lila must discern the truth from what the Faith Heights professors demand that she and the other scholarship students believe, and discover how far she is willing to go to unearth it.

Celestial Perris is one of the many chosen to protect and guide the souls that linger on. These souls, also known as Betweens, are here with unfinished business in our world. Angels and Demons are not supposed to interfere with a Between's business in our world due to a pact made long ago at the start of our world. Demons, however, do not always abide by this rule, trying to sway the innocent to the Darkness of the Spiritual Realm. Celestial is soon confronted by a strange soul, who is unlike the others she has protected before. With him comes a curse that forces the Betweens to remain trapped in our world and it's up to Celestial to help free them. With demons sprouting out of the wood works in droves, will Celestial be able to help? Or will an evil be unleashed due to the selfish purposes on both sides of the fence? Codex of Celestials Chronicles (Book 1) (Highest Ranking #222 on the Paranormal list) This novel is a work of FICTION. Any names, places, religions, etc that bears resemblance to something realistic is coincidental. None of this actually happened. This is not the gospel truth.

Before starting this farewell journal, PLEASE read this information to the end! After some digging, I obtained these documents from Hennepin County Police titled "My Dance With a Witch." They think of it as a joke, but I'm releasing these pages as a lesson for the open-minded. You'll learn from the author to not trust certain things. Like crazy professors, abandoned woodland farmhouses, women with a specific shade of lipstick, and most especially of all, a particular. Damn. Tome. This tale is not for the faint of heart nor the feeble-minded. Read at your own risk. Thank you, Thompson Ringler

As a sixteen-year-old boy, Matthias Al-Hassan was the quiet kind of enchanting. He was the type you'd see in a party, head bent over a book, physically in the moment but spiritually worlds away. He was the soft touches, comforting, heart-on-his-sleeve person. His lips were gentle and questioning. As a twenty-year-old man, he was unrecognisable. Then again, August was a far cry from the boy he was five years ago.

Magic is a force of nature. And in the country of Mednagora, it can be studied, understood, and even harnessed into strange and wondrous technology. But every new advancement comes at a price: magic must be harvested as "artifacts" from The Zone: one of many hotspots of wild magic, where fireballs and lightning bolts surge forth from the very ground, where wildlife is mutated into grotesque, hideous monsters, where even the dead sometimes rise from their slumber. The Zone must be explored by vedmaks, pathfinders and daredevils that wander it in search of viable sources of artifacts. Two of these vedmaks, Misha Sorokina and her protege, Drazhek Sventoslavichi, embark on a quest into The Bald Mountains, in search of an underground cache of artifacts. But if such grave peril marks the surface of The Zone, then what trials await beneath The Earth?
