With the breaking of the greatest Pact--the revelation of the Safe Havens' collective existence--the barrier of every haven has fallen, leaving them open and vulnerable. Xirxine, the Avatars, and the Worthy are working around the clock to maintain global stability, even as the secret organization struggles with the repercussions of their actions and attempts to mesh with the world's governments and guidelines.
Meanwhile, Mr. Barakoa finds himself held captive in his own headquarters. As he searches for a way out, he finds solace and assistance in an unexpected source: Xirxine's namesake, the mask itself.
As for the Safe Havens, darkness looms on the horizon. A newcomer and a familiar face join forces and begin to wreak havoc in havens worldwide--although, not the kind of havoc they were expecting. In attempting to summon their all-powerful allies, the duo unintentionally tear open an interdimensional rift, bringing forth hostile predators that are the stuff of nightmares.
How will Xirxine, the Avatars, and their new global allies handle this new, unforeseen threat? Can Mr. Barakoa escape from Xirxine International with the help of the mask--and a couple of new interns? And just WHAT is going on with Addison? Find out in the final entry in the "A V A T A R" trilogy: "P R E D A T O R S : N I G H T M A R E S"!

35. P O W E R : Rebound
Safe Haven is on high alert. The Saved just unleashed their biggest attack on the city yet-all as a distraction to recover the cadaver of Moll Ferris, founder of the Saved. Now, having imbued her with Adina's spirit once more and joining forces with the Exorcists, they have reached their peak power. On another side of the battlefield, the Faithful have been beaten down to near extinction. Cthylla and her three most powerful followers escaped, but are on the run and searching for refuge as the heroes hunt them down. The Safe Haven "mafia", on the other hand, find themselves walking a thin line between the heroes and the Dark Celestials. They've been informed that they are nothing more than tools-pawns to be used and discarded when all is said and done. With this realization haunting them, the winds of change have begun to blow through their ranks. As the antagonists struggle to find their footing, the protagonists do the same. Xirxine and the Protectors are searching desperately for something to turn the tides of the war-to rebound from the cataclysmic failures they've repeatedly suffered. And all the while, Cameron battles her inner demon, seeking a refuge from the whispers in her mind and the darkness in her soul. But what she finds is not peace... but a dark future waiting for the Safe Havens.

8. L E G E N D S : Dragon and Phoenix
Before the Convergence... Before the Avatar was chosen... before Xirxine ventured beyond Safe Haven's borders... there was a legend. It told of a glorious battle between a phoenix and a dragon, a days-long war for the fate of Safe Haven. In its most basic summary, the dragon appeared out of nowhere, took over the hidden world, and was ultimately disintegrated by the phoenix after their battle. So the story says. But as any of the four dragon brothers would tell you--were they allowed to do so--there is a great difference between legend... and HISTORY.

6. P R O D I G A L : Redemption
After the Convergence, Addison is left with the weight of his own guilt on his shoulders. Feeling responsible for the massive amount of death and destruction brought about by the Inner Gods, he flees from the Northwest Safe Haven to the one in Xishuangbanna, hoping to find some inner peace away from home. But how long can he hide from the public eye, avoiding those who see him as responsible for the Convergence? And how long will it be before his past catches up to him?

23. S P A M A N D V A N E X A : Dreamers
The Big Five are Zoo Phoenix Academy's most well-known and well-loved clique. Everyone knows Zill's witty, easy-going attitude, Kayla's sweet, selfless disposition; and Jack's awkward-but-lovable luckless quirk. And just like everyone knows the Zill/Kayla couple combo and the Zill/Jack B.F.F. combo, everyone knows that the last two members of the group are as inseparable as the others. Spam and Vanexa are the "oddballs" compared to the others (even Jack, which is saying something), and while Spam's goofiness and Vanexa's aloofness might not seem to mix, they're closer than two peas in a pod. Through thick and thin, they always stuck together, along with the rest of the Big 5. But when newer, bigger threats than even the Holy War put the good times in Safe Haven on hold, will their friendship dissolve... or burn brighter than ever before?

41. P O W E R : Aftermath
Victory comes at a cost. No good deed goes unpunished. Heroes don't always die when they fall, yet the outcome can often be worse. To rebuild a world in ruin, sacrifices must be made.

16. P O W E R : Radical
Two new chess pieces are added to the board. A doctor, intelligent and logical, corrupted by unholy desire. An experiment, secluded and bitter, consumed by religious zeal. These radicalized wild cards are harbingers of even greater destruction for the Northwestern Safe Haven, their arrivals unleashing hell upon the once-sacred city. Another burden has been placed on the Protectors' shoulders... and whether they are up to the challenge remains to be seen.

22. P O W E R : Reunion
The Malakhite Families' experiment has finally come to fruition. Cameron Walden (now the Avatar of the Phoenix) proved to be the perfect host for the fallen angel Adina during the Holy War. All that's required is to obtain her blood and isolate its angelic component... which is easier said than done. When Zuriel and the other six Heads of the Malakhite Families head to the Northwest Safe Haven to meet Cameron, they expect smooth sailing and cooperation. But on the off-chance that Cameron gives them a loud, hearty "NO", well... they have contingencies in place. Unfortunately for Zuriel, his journey to Safe Haven causes Ramiro and Hadali to spring into action as well. They intend to get to Cameron first and reveal the truth before her blood is stolen and the Great Purge begins. And they intend to finish what they started with Zuriel over thirty years ago...

She Loved You In Every Universe, But Mine

But something about it...hazel-green eyes, furrowed brow, that quiet ache just behind the cold...made me freeze. "You can't be her," he whispered. My breath hitched. I didn't know what to say. So I spit in his face. He blinked, wiping it away slowly. His expression didn't change, not much. But his silence stretched into something heavy. "Monster," I whispered.] OR You end up in another dimension where you're mistaken for his dead lover. Too bad his variant destroyed your original world...
