DOWNLOAD EBOOKWhen Crawford and Ramona arrive at the mysterious house called Torran Dubh on a remote island off the rugged west coast of Scotland, they’re captivated by the beauty and mystery of the place. The mansion is available for rent, but the enigmatic caretaker offers them a curious deal: they can stay for free—if the house accepts them. Enthralled, they agree, unaware that Torran Dubh is no ordinary house. It’s a gateway to the past, where time itself bends and reality is far more fluid than it seems. As they settle into the old manor, strange phenomena begin to unravel, guiding them on a journey to uncover Torran Dubh’s hidden secrets and its deep connection to Crawford’s own family. Thirty years ago, Crawford’s father, Malcolm, vanished without a trace, leaving behind a legacy of unanswered questions. Now, Torran Dubh seems to hold the key to his disappearance, along with a far-reaching history of time travel, Norse settlers, and dark forces that still linger in the shadows. Guided by the mystical power of an ancient amulet, Crawford and Ramona embark on a journey through time. As they explore the house and its hidden history, they must navigate the unknown forces at play, discovering long-buried truths that could change their lives forever. As Crawford uncovers his family’s hidden connection to time travel, Ramona grapples with her own questions about the power of the amulet and whether its influence is truly benevolent. With every leap through time, Crawford and Ramona face new mysteries—and growing dangers. What dark forces are lurking in the shadows of history? As they delve deeper into the mysteries of Torran Dubh, they must decide how far they are willing to go to uncover the truth—and what it will cost them in the present.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHumanity teeters on the brink of extinction... Vanguard Lindsay Rooney has faced the undead hordes of Inferi Scourge and lived to tell the tale, but she has also suffered horrible losses. Like millions of other civilians, she had hoped that The Bastion would recover after a team of modified soldiers eradicated the undead hordes of Inferi Scourge that infested their valley. Yet the city still crumbles around them, along with any chance of survival. Lindsey’s growing friendship with Torran MacDonald, an officer with the Science Warfare division, is her only solace as the decline of the city continues. When food riots fill the streets, martial law is enacted, and the upper echelons of government battle for control of the city, Lindsey is conscripted by her superiors to embark on a dangerous mission into the dead world beyond The Bastion. To add even more complications, Torran and the SWD join the squad. Soon, Lindsey realizes that her mission is more than what it seems, and there are secrets that could both destroy The Bastion and take her life.
