Synopsis - The Wicked In a world where shadows linger a little too long and whispers follow the wind, a troubled young boy named Kai drifts between isolation and reality. Burdened by the scars of a broken life, he finds himself slipping further into the depths of despair-until one night, something ancient awakens. Drawn to Kai's pain, a powerful and malevolent force known only as The Wicked makes its presence known.

Haunted by visions, hunted by secrets he doesn't yet understand, and stalked by those who fear what he's becoming, Kai begins a journey where trust is fleeting, truth is twisted, and survival means facing the darkness within.

The Judgement Of Divinity (TMOE #2)
Usually when people die they are courteous enough to stay dead. As it turns out, several people associated with Lucius are lacking in the etiquette department, and when corpses start disappearing from graves it's just no laughing matter anymore. Reunited with more than one friend from his past, Lucius finds himself with more questions for every answer he receives. In his defense, undead vampires and secret, werewolf related orders will do that to you, and yet he is nowhere near figuring out what the Waste is going on beneath the surface of South Kerilia's population. He knows one thing for certain though: One organization holds the answers to all of his questions, and he knows just the person to interrogate. If only that person hadn't been Lucius' newly resurrected numbskull of a crush.Complete
