In a ruined temple on a dying world, a man without a past promised the Red Sword of her tribe that he would protect her daughter. And then he had lost her. Flung into a very different world, Talin had been forced to navigate this strange new realm as he searched for the girl Valyra. His journey had taken him from Ysala to the Twilight Empire, from the golden grasslands where monsters prowled to the haunted undercity of Zim. He had held true to his word, finally rescuing her from the Shriven who wished to use her sorcery to heal the paths between the worlds. But after a betrayal by one of his companions, she is now in the clutches of the mysterious Contessa, and he must once again return to the City of Masks. Only now the fate of the world hangs in the balance.

The Light Fades. The Darkness Comes. Alesh and his companions managed to survive Aldrick’s betrayal, defeating the nightlings and driving them back out of the city, but their troubles are just beginning. For there are other traitors in their midst, hiding in the shadows, and while they should be preparing for the approaching enemy army, Alesh and the others are forced to scour the city in search of them. Meanwhile, Sonya and the Broken flee the enemy encampment, hounded by Argush’s soldiers. But Sonya is just a child, the Broken is wounded, and their hunters are closing in. Yet, the soldiers are not their biggest worry, for night is coming and, with it, creatures of darkness, hungry for blood. As the number of prisoners in the city increases, threatening to overflow the dungeons, Alesh, as its leader, will be forced to make hard decisions. Decisions which will weaken his faith not just in the gods, but in himself. And to make matters worse, as the army gathers outside the city, Alesh will discover that his powers have abandoned him when he needs them most. Valeria, the last light which stands against the coming night, falters. Darkness stretches its talons toward the city and its people, toward Alesh and the other Chosen. Should they fall, the world will fall with them. The final battle for Valeria, for the world has begun.

KINDLE

Fifty years ago, the nightwalkers appeared, creatures of shadow and darkness, thirsting for blood and death. Thousands died and the kingdom of Entarna was brought to its knees. Then the Chosen came, six men and women endowed with powers by Amedan, the God of Fire and Light. The Chosen joined with the kingdom’s armies and together they managed to defeat the night’s creatures. At least for a time. Alesh, servant to Chosen Olliman, the greatest of Amedan’s priests, knows well what the darkness holds. He saw it, as a child, when his father and mother were killed, and he was left with a blackened, festering scar that refuses to heal. The day wanes and the night comes again, but when those chosen to protect the kingdom are unable or unwilling to help, when the fellowships of the past have crumbled, it is left to an orphaned servant—a man many believe to be cursed—to stand against the rising darkness.

His father always told him monsters weren’t real, but now Sebastian knows better. The world is full of monsters, and some of them lurk in the minds of men. Trapped deep underground and forced into manual labor by the Stone King’s soldiers, Sebastian is nearing the end of his rope. For years, misery and hopelessness filled his days—until now. He discovers a daring plan is in motion, with only one goal: escape. Is Sebastian a fool for believing they can pull off the impossible? Perhaps. But only by conquering his own fear can he help his comrades revolt...a thing not easily done when facing monsters.

The only thing rarer than a homicidal chicken is a hero who lives to see retirement. Dannen Ateran spent the week following his battle with the necromancer and his undead army doing exactly what he enjoyed most-nothing. Certainly nothing heroic. At least nothing more heroic than lying in Claire's bed and reveling in the feeling-depressingly unfamiliar-of having no one try to kill him. At least, that was, until Perandius summoned him to the land of the gods once more with a mission to rescue a shepherd boy foretold of in prophecy. Dannen didn't care for shepherd boys-the fools never could seem to stay out of trouble-and he cared even less for prophecies. But considering that the messenger god confiscated the Divining Stone-which Dannen had given to Claire as a necklace and which she loved, likely more than him-he decided it might be best to leave Talinseh for a time. And so Dannen, hoping to keep breathing a bit longer, sets off to the south with his companions. But that was the thing about fleeing from death-no matter how fast a man runs, it's always ahead of him. And that death, this time, might well come in the form of wererats, plague-ridden beasts infesting the sewers of a port city or, perhaps, in an ancient sea monster and, if all else fails, there's always the group of assassins hunting them. Plenty of ways to die and die horribly but then, Dannen had lived long enough to know that if a man went looking for ways to die, he never had to look very far. Probably it's Prophecy is the third installment in the humorous, action-packed epic fantasy series, The Antiheroes. It is a story of magic and magical beasts, of assassins and blades in the dark, of monsters out of myth and men out of their minds. And one unfortunate, reluctant hero, known as the Bloody Butcher, who is only trying to survive it all.

For a disappointed couple, the worst-best thing that can happen is for a beautiful child to come into their lives, thinking he's theirs—and for them to be given every opportunity to keep him.For a disappointed couple, the worst-best thing that can happen is for a beautiful child to come into their lives, thinking he's theirs—and for them to be given every opportunity to keep him.He appeared at the door in the Seattle rain: age ten, and dripping. He called her "Mom." The officer who brought him thought he was hers and left him there. He called Craig "Dad." He knew where the bathroom was, knew where to find a glass, knew the dog's name. The school said they were his parents. The state's records agreed. He even looked familiar.The problem, of course, was that they'd never had a child. Yet somehow Zechariah Fleming not only fit in, but wore the very name they had chosen for the son they never had.No one came looking for him. What could the Flemings do?

His unreserved wonder at his new life (a bed, even going outside!) introduced new joys. He was happy. But something was wrong: he had been sent to them from a mysterious past, but he had no way to say by whom. Meanwhile, someone watched from the shadows, working out his own agenda as Kara and Craig searched for a way to care for Zach without becoming a family.Then, when all the signs converged to proclaim he really was theirs, a new struggle ensued: a race to find his true origins before whoever sent him returned to take him—their son—away.
