Caught in the explosion of the Hammersmith Mill in London, Bow Street Runner Daniel Swann rushes to help any survivors only to find the mill's owner dead of an apparent gunshot.

Is this the final chapter or is it a new beginning? Since arriving at the priory, the world outside has changed. For Mike, Emma and the rest of the Safe Haven refugees, their chances of returning home seem to have all but evaporated. Now facing a fearsome army far greater than that of Olsen’s, will they give up their dream and try to find some small corner in which to live out the rest of their days? Or will they fight like they’ve never fought before?

Before the worst day of their lives, wild horses could not pull them together. Now, nothing can tear them apart...or so they thought. A chance meeting, a bad decision, a stormy night - the fuse is lit to their most explosive 24 hours yet. When the dead roam the streets, when enemies prowl in the shadows, and when strangers are not all they seem, the only people Wren and Robyn can rely on are each other.

They escaped the cities. They lived through the storm. But there are more dark clouds forming on the horizon for Wren and Robyn. The undead have made escape impossible. Ruthless gangs patrol the highways, and danger lurks in the shadows. A new friend and a new settlement and things are looking up, though all is not what it seems.

Winter has arrived, and it will wreak havoc on Redemption. Lives will be lost. Hearts will be broken. But it’s nothing compared to the storm that’s coming. Dark clouds of a different kind are gathering on the horizon, and with them comes an enemy of unimaginable power. There’s a war on its way. When it’s over, only one side will be left standing.

An incisive and deeply candid account that explores autistic women in culture, myth, and society through the prism of the author's own diagnosis.

The residents of Safe Haven had fought the living, the dead, and the worst winter in decades. They had earned their time of peace. They had earned their dream of happiness. But now...now, it’s all gone to hell. For Mike, Emma, Lucy, and Wren, their most treacherous journey has just begun. They’ll enter a place darker than night itself and confront an enemy more sinister than any they have ever encountered.

An overwhelming enemy force. A surprise attack. Now, a darkness has fallen over the land, the likes of which has never been seen before. Most have fled. Only a handful remain. For some, this is the longest night they have ever lived. For others, there will be no dawn. Can Safe Haven survive? Or is this the end of everything?

Seb and Summer Richards thought they’d found their perfect home. What they got was a horror they could never have imagined. Starting a new life with their children on a remote Scottish island should have been a dream come true. Instead, it became a nightmare they would carry to their graves.

An unsolved case from DCI Battle's past returns to haunt him when it seems that a killer from over a decade ago has struck again. Daisy Riddle went missing fifteen years ago and Battle failed to keep his promise to bring her home. Now, her dead body has been discovered. What happened to her, and where has she been all this time? Battle must overcome his guilt in order to catch Daisy's killer, a task that becomes desperate when another girl is taken.

They were sure a battle was coming. They just didn’t know how bad it would be. A new dawn has risen on Safe Haven, and it’s the darkest they’ve ever seen. In a heartbeat, the world they have fought so hard to build has been torn apart. Now all that remains is to see if it can be pieced back together. For some, it’s too late. For the rest, there’s only one option. It’s a fight to the death. Kill or be killed. Today, fate takes no prisoners. Today is the end of their new beginning. But is it the beginning of the end?

After the storm comes calm. But for how long? Fresh from their victory against Olsen’s armies, new challenges await the people of Safe Haven. Under siege, with fuel running out fast, hard decisions need to be made in order to keep the settlement secure.

Sometimes, formidable challenges can seem impossible. Sometimes, you can forget what you’ve done and what you’re capable of. Sometimes, doubt can attack you like a virus and leave you questioning your worth. Sometimes….And then sometimes, when things seem like they can’t get any worse, you find yourself. You find the person, the friend, the sister, the warrior you know you can be.

A former Swedish ambassador lies dead in his swanky Mayfair flat. With his tongue torn out and placed on a Bible. Competing theories swirl. A religious maniac? A psychopath?

Sal had woken up with no recollection of the night before a few times but never like this...in a forest...alone...confused...scared.
