    In a world where everyone is born with the powers of a god, monster, or legend that matches their soul, sixteen-year-old Nyro Graves is hiding a cosmic truth. Officially, he's bonded to a trickster spirit from Aztec myth-the mischievous Ahuizotl. But in reality, Nyro's powers come from the most forbidden being of all: Cthulhu. The god that waits. The one that should never rise. If anyone finds out, he'll be captured, dissected, or worse-used. For three years, Nyro has manipulated minds and masked his truth. But when a new girl arrives carrying the powers of Maat, Egyptian goddess of truth, Nyro's illusion shatters. Now hunted by strangers in tactical armor and trapped in a mysterious academy for the dangerous and divine, Nyro must uncover why he-of all people-was the being destined to end the world... ...Before he becomes the prophecy himself.

    An expedition 15 years ago that uncovered terrible truths man was never meant to know. A town plagued by madness. As worlds bleed together a beast slumbers on the edge of reality. Its patrons call for an awakening. Theodore Morton was one of the unlucky ones, touched by the whisper. Join his desperate attempt to uncover the truth before it is too late. Lest we all succumb to the... UNFATHOMABLE. As of yet, I'm not entirely sure where I want to go with this idea. A series of snippet, journal-like entries that piece together the bigger picture? An anthology surrounding the strange occurrences in Sturbridge, Massachusetts during 1958? I've got a few other ideas, but you get the picture. I'd appreciate any feedback you offer! The artwork used for the cover was made by the talented Carlos Castilho! Be sure to check them out!

    Marine Staff Sergeant Stephanie Zoubareya is on medical leave after breaking the golden rule of the Corps: don't put ghosts in your report. Certainly don't follow them into the Malian desert and fight a fundamentalist militia. (It might not technically be a golden rule, but it should be.) As she contemplates what she's going to do with the rest of her life, she gets an under the table gig protecting a mute archaeologist. All they have to do is drive to New England, check out a statue, spend some of the NSA's money on hotel that looks out onto the sea. But that was before she killed a monster in a New York alleyway, or a religious cult cornered them at a gas station. Now she's worried that Dr. Penny Etrange is more than she seems, that Wickerman Cove has a secret, and that she might not actually be working for the NSA.

    Being the first haunted to defeat the Shade, Vergil Torres should have been swelling with joy and pride. After all, he saved his friends and learned secrets not even 50 years of Shade Study could discover. Yet, this victory came at a heavy toll. The guilt over Eris's death. The regret of finding out the truth of the Cult. And the heavy burden of stopping Azgarmoth, the source of the mysterious Shade, from entering their world, knowing that failure means that life as they know it will end, all weighs heavily on the 16-year-old high school student. To make matters worse, because of the seal Vergil undid, the still-operating cult is now more powerful than ever, commanding an army of Shades and cultists embedded in various aspects of society. Their only hope lies with one History and Sociology Professor, who seems to be the only one to know more about the lost legend of the city of Bastillio, the legend of the Star People, and the Celestials. The stakes are higher than ever as they prepare to meet with the professor under false names and disguises. They must learn all they can of the legend, if it is even the same one, and treat every citizen they encounter as a potential cultist out to kill them.

    Hieronymus Jones was a strange boy, a hair past fifteen, tall and pale with jet black hair, dark brown eyes and a very peculiar kind of mind. If he was not the smartest thing on the planet, he was a very close second. He had secrets, dark and terrible, wonderful and pure. Secrets of hidden worlds with lost people, that were not entirely human. Most unusually, he held secrets... of magic.When Hieronymus Jones saw Gertrude Green for the first time, he sat up a little straighter in his seat. She was an odd girl with a smattering of freckles across her pale skin, impossibly red hair and perfect green eyes. She too had secrets. Together they would discover a connection to each other, far deeper than either could have imagined. Mysterious pendants, evil twisted mounds of monstrous flesh and school bullies are one thing, but when a small unimpressed squid makes a nest in Hieronymus's cup of tea, something clearly needs to be done. Honestly, this is TEA we are talking about, don't these creatures have any manners?The first book in a fantasy romance series, awash with bleeding edge technology, magic, humor and hideous tentacle laden, Lovecraftian nightmares, that are coming to kill the world... woot.
