When 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.

Humanity 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.

- Brenda Spencer, 17 years old, opened fire on a crowded elementary schoolyard with a semi-automatic rifle because "Mondays always get me down." - Timothy Dwaine Brown, 16 years old, beat his brother to death before killing his grandparents in cold blood. - Molested repeatedly by her father, 16-year-old Cheryl Pierson hired a classmate to execute him. - Two Missouri brothers, ages four and six, attacked and brutally murdered a baby girl because "she was ugly." centerThere is a new breed of killers loose in America today -- and its numbers are growing at an astounding rate. They are responsible for over ten percent of the nation's homicides. They are often victims themselves of neglect, violence and sexual abuse, of drugs and poverty. They murder alone or in groups -- in anger and frustration, for attention . . . or for thrills. And they have one thing in common: they are all children.

Acclaimed author Jessie Mihalik returns with an exciting new novel about a rainbow-haired female bounty hunter tasked with preventing an interstellar war. Kee Ildez has been many things: hacker, soldier, bounty hunter. She never expected to be a hero, but when a shadowy group of traitors starts trying to goad the galaxy’s two superpowers into instigating an interstellar war, Kee throws herself into the search to find out who is responsible—and stop them. Digging up hidden information is her job, so hunting traitors should be a piece of cake, but the primary suspect spent years in the military, and someone powerful is still covering his tracks. Disrupting their plans will require the help of her entire team, including Varro Runkow, a Valovian weapons expert who makes her pulse race. Quiet, grumpy, and incredibly handsome, Varro watches her with hot eyes but ignores all of her flirting, so Kee silently vows to keep her feelings strictly platonic. But that vow will be put to the test when she and Varro are forced to leave the safety of their ship and venture into enemy territory alone. Cut off from the rest of their team, they must figure out how to work together—and fast—because a single misstep will cost thousands of lives.
