Eager to use their freedom to best advantage, Kyle led his supporters on a search for everything they would need to survive in their new world. Medical support to ensure their children would be cared for. A place to call home. And perhaps most important of all, the equipment they would need to set up a lab so the scientists traveling with them could take a stab at finding a Persterim cure. The odds were long, but Kyle wasn’t going to give up on the hope that the chaos in the world might be reversed if only someone was willing to stand up and fight those who were trying to destroy it.

For the first time, Kyle and his family have the chance to take advantage of a weakness in the Dawn organization. But to seize that chance they will need support. As successful as they’ve been in staying alive, they are not capable of planning a large-scale attack against a hardened target.

Kyle has evolved from the person he once was, but his purpose remains the same: to find himself in a world that seems ready to chew him up and spit him out. There are people who are intent on killing him - not only for what he knows, but for what he is. Even worse, the people who have tried to help Kyle, and who he has come to care about deeply, are equally in danger. He will never let them get hurt. Which means, he has to do something.

Home on Lestaron Island, Jack finds himself with a new, much more domestic array of problems. The doubts unearthed by Volandar’s assertion that Jack’s father is still alive push him into an unorthodox and potentially illegal investigation. Now that Mira’s living at the mansion under the guise of his new gardener, he's also forced to carefully manage the unexpected toll it places on his relationship with Ryoko.

It’s been 12 years since Jack Masterson last set foot on Lestaron Island. Fresh out of college and lacking a clear direction in life, he’s been asked by his aunt and uncle to travel back to the place he once called home to settle his recently deceased grandfather’s estate. Jack has little to look forward to in regard to his return, outside of a chance to reacquaint himself with Katie, his childhood friend and former crush.

Jack’s throwing a party, and someone’s planning on crashing it. Now that Mira has returned to Lestaron Island, each day has forced him to juggle his place within the small-town community against his own darker impulses. When Jack receives an offer to ally himself with a group of ancient Valerian vampires living near The Origin, the fabled vampiric homeland, he’s forced to take more than just his own well-being into account. Enemies become allies, lies become truth, and blood flows freely.

Temptation comes in many different forms. Jack Masterson thought he knew what temptation was, and he thought he could handle it. He was, of course, wrong in every sense of the word. Life as a vampire is defined by constant, seductive temptation. So far, Jack has managed to get by, thanks to the help of his childhood friend, Katie, and his loyal maid, Ryoko. But when a new enemy arises that threatens not just the town but the people closest to him, he’s left at a crossroads.

A new city, a new start, and the same old dance. After swearing an oath to Mezolak to save Ryoko’s life, Jack is left in service to the ancient, evil demon that’s taken possession of his father’s body. Surprisingly, it isn’t so bad.

Zahn believed that magic existed. He even knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that leftover relics of magic existed in the world. He owned a few, after all. But he always considered himself a rational sort of guy. When he went on "relic-dives" to uncover lost magic, he did his research. He didn't believe fanciful myths. He scraped away the garbage and only went after magical items that had a good chance of actually existing.

Water witch Evian Brooks has plenty of problems - and a margarita-loving toad is the least of them. Her scooter is on the fritz, her radio show has three listeners per week (including her mother), and there’s a beauty pageant in town threatening to kill her with boredom. However, the promise of death becomes all too real when Evian finds herself accidentally off-roading into a crime scene where Marilyn Johnson - famed beauty queen - is dead in the water.

The tides of war surround Damien, birthing life into his army and bringing additional power to his stats. With a timeline to beat, a hunger for justice, and a passion for his family, he'll dominate anyone foolish enough to oppose him. New enemy or old, all will break against the strength of his will.

The news was enough to blow Kyle’s mind. He had believed that nothing could cause a bigger stir than his revelation over network television that the Soldiers of Dawn, a group of eugenicists operating in secret, had not only infiltrated the government but also released Persterim, the disease crippling the fertility of the male portion of society. That was until an announcement came from the highest levels of government declaring that the corruption didn’t stop inside the lower ranks of various agencies. It went all the way to the top.
