It’s been over a decade since a catastrophic earthquake created Devil’s fork - a canyon so deep that it had been impossible to explore until now, as scientists Keith Weber and Michael Mcloughlin have discovered a new world beneath our own. The deeper they go, the more they discover that what they thought were things of myths and legends are actually real. Things forgotten will be found and mysteries that had no answers will be solved and with it, put into motion a chain of events that will change both worlds forever!

Project Blue Book was the catalyst to the modern day UFO cover-up that still exists today. The startling fact is we may be in the same position now as then, as it relates to the phenomena. We are still in an age of denial about the magnitude of this phenomenon and what its implications mean for all mankind. Perhaps there are secret factions that have indeed communicated with alien entities and have received technology from them. But from the outside looking in, it appears nothing has changed.

Since the early days of the American republic, political thinkers have maintained that a grossly unequal division of property, wealth, and power would lead to the erosion of democratic life. Yet over the past thirty-five years, neoconservatives and neoliberals alike have redrawn the tenets of American liberalism. Nowhere is this more evident than in our current mainstream political discourse, in which the politics of economic inequality are rarely discussed.

Harlan Ellison’s work shaped the science-fiction, fantasy, and horror genres in the twentieth century, and this collection of his best-known and most-acclaimed stories is a perfect treasury for old Ellison fans as well as listeners discovering this zany, polyphonic writer for the first time.

Three times they tried to kill her. Then they hired a professional. She hired Riyria. When the last member of the oldest noble family in Avryn is targeted for assassination, Riyria is hired to foil the plot. Three years have passed since the war-weary mercenary Hadrian and the cynical ex-assassin Royce joined forces to start life as thieves for hire. Things have gone well enough until they receive the odd assignment to prevent a murder.

For more than a year Royce Melborn has tried to forget Gwen DeLancy, the woman who saved him and his partner Hadrian Blackwater from certain death. Unable to get her out of his mind, Royce returns to Medford with Hadrian but the two receive a very different reception—Gwen refuses to see them. The victim of abuse by a powerful noble, she suspects that Royce will ignore any danger in his desire for revenge. By turning the thieves away, Gwen hopes to once more protect them. What she doesn't realize is what the two are capable of—but she's about to find out.

Since time immemorial, humans have worshipped the gods they call Fhrey, truly a race apart: invincible in battle, masters of magic, and seemingly immortal. But when a god falls to a human blade, the balance of power between humans and those they thought were gods changes forever. Now only a few stand between humankind and annihilation: Raithe, reluctant to embrace his destiny as the God Killer; Suri, a young seer burdened by signs of impending doom; and Persephone, who must overcome personal tragedy to lead her people. The Age of Myth is over. The time of rebellion has begun.

War has come to Melengar. To save her kingdom, Princess Arista runs a desperate gamble when she defies her brother and hires Royce and Hadrian for a dangerous mission. As the power of the Nyphron Empire grows, so does Royce's suspicion that the wizard Esrahaddon is using the thieves as pawns in his own game. To find the truth, he must unravel the secret of Hadrian's past - what he discovers may end their friendship and break Riyria in two.  

Raithe, the God Killer, may have started the rebellion by killing a Fhrey, but long-standing enmities dividing the Rhunes make it all but impossible to unite against the common foe. And even if the clans can join forces, how will they defeat an enemy whose magical prowess renders them indistinguishable from gods?  

WHAT DOES ONE DO AFTER THE WORLD ENDS? That is the question plaguing every imperial citizen after the destruction of the capital city of Percepliquis. How three pivotal people answer will determine the course of Elan’s future: one will come to understand that she was spared for a reason; another will resolve to become the ruler he was meant to be, and the third will set off in search of a nefarious wizard known as Esrahaddon.

The Bible calls us to live as disciples of Jesus in every area of our lives, including politics. But how do we live as faithful political disciples when politics has become so toxic? Too often, Scripture's political witness is reduced to a few verses to defend our partisan political team. For...

The man who became known as Esrahaddon is reported to have destroyed the world’s greatest empire—but there are those who believe he saved it. Few individuals are as divisive, but all agree on three facts: He was exiled to the wilderness, hunted by a goblin priestess, and sentenced to death by a god—all before the age of eight. How he managed to survive and why people continued to fear his name a thousand years later has always been a mystery...until now.

Being an unwanted twin in the Imperial line of succession, Farilane became a scholar, adventurer, and in a time when reading was once more forbidden—a book hunter. Her singular obsession is finding the mythical Book of Brin, a tome not just lost but intentionally buried. Respected and beloved by the Teshlor Knights, not even their legendary skills can protect her for what she finds is more dangerous than what she sought.

At exactly 9:17 a.m., children across the world stop what they’re doing. They don’t panic. They don’t cry out. They listen. From hospital rooms and classrooms to refugee camps and living rooms, children—too young to be coached, too innocent to conspire—begin responding to a voice no adult can hear. They speak truths they were never taught. They reveal secrets no one shared. And they warn of something coming that the world is not ready to face.

On a snowy winter night, drug cartel assassins bomb the home of FBI Special Agent Nicholas Lee, killing Nick's wife and daughter. But the mortally wounded Nick finds himself propelled to a parallel dimension. Confused, bewildered, staggering under this incomprehensible loss, he finds himself floating in a strange world, ". . . aware that this was not a 'place' per se. He was on a path about the width of railroad tracks, and rather than sky or trees on either side, strings of incandescent lights streamed past him.
