Ronan Falkrow, son of the famed "Savior of Earth" Rhys Falkrow, has never really known his father-or cared to learn. At 17 years old, Ronan is more concerned about maintaining his freedom and making a name for himself. Whether that's a good or bad name, he doesn't care. But when Ronan and the rest of his family are suddenly swept out of Firekli per his father's instructions, the teen is thrown headlong into a foreign world of autonomous machines, silver-haired humans, and technology far beyond the scope of his imagination. And yet, the most upsetting new adjustment to his young life is not the sudden upheaval of his home, but the appearance of the Alphas, an advanced humanoid species threatening to sap Earth of its resources. With his father's crew in danger and the world falling apart around him, Ronan must find his own path and walk outside his father's extraordinary shadow.

The Eads Bridge in St. Louis has an extensive history, most of which is shrouded in mystery. Most everyone in 1917 was willing to overlook the decades' slew of killings that happened under its metal framework-until beloved Bridget McGuire was found dead along its shoreline. With crooked cops gunning for their arrest and the general public adamant they played a part in her gruesome death, Frankie Fishman and Hershey Kapnick set out to identify and locate Bridget's murderer. As the metaphorical noose slowly tightens around their necks, the boys embark on a pervasive investigation that takes them from bars and pubs to Irish ghettos and burnt-out buildings. Smart, charismatic, and embellished with details of the time, The Bridge of Death reflects all that humanity has to offer-both good and bad.

After a selfless sacrifice lands him in a technologically-advanced world quite unlike his own, Ewen Brystone finds himself irrevocably alone, lost to time and space. Despite being picked up by the military contractor group Sundown and accepting his fate, Ewen quickly discovers that while it is common in his world to be gifted with Power, he alone carries such magic in this realm. When word gets out that Ewen's gift might be the key to ending all war, Sundown is forced to abandon its work and go into hiding, traveling across the planet to safeguard its newest and most enigmatic member. As humanity struggles to survive in a dystopian nightmare wrought with climate crises, corporate corruption, natural disasters, and enduring war and the United Nations Federation seeks to transport humanity off planet, Ewen and Sundown begin feverishly working to alter Earth's destiny. But it might already be too late.

Ewen is a Dragon - a young man who has the rare ability to teleport - like his father Valavan Brynstone.

Until his father decides it's time for the 19-year-old to leave.Abandoned in a new realm, a new kingdom, Ewen quickly learns that he's had it easy and begins down a difficult path riddled with political intrigue, life-and-death lessons, and subterfuge. As his circumstances lead him abroad, he finds himself in the company of not only nobles, but gypsies, hunters, and scholars - all of whom are searching for him.With the foreign nation of Qubarath encroaching upon the coasts of Shiin and Liang, Ewen uncovers the truth of his fate, falling headfirst into a time and space where science and fantasy have become inextricably intertwined and the destiny of the world rests on his shoulders.

Rhys Falkrow, and his younger sister, Alina, were born on Caelestis, a colony located in the Solar System Hyperes. For generations, the people of Caelestis lived in peace, working together to consolidate resources and knowledge to create a unified race of humans whose sole purpose was to advance mankind. After a collision with a rogue asteroid though, the colony is tossed into chaos and Rhys and Alina are ushered onto a malfunctioning Life Pod. Unable to stop the cryo-preservation protocol, both are placed in suspended animation as the spacecraft hurtles toward an unknown target deep in space. They awaken some later to find themselves on Earth, the cradle of humanity, alone and without guidance for the first time in their lives. Now, Rhys and Alina must navigate the hostile, new world and learn what it really means to be human. Having been raised in a mock-utopia, how will they cope with the harsh realities of their existence and those of the people they encounter?

Long after the creation of Power, rose three kingdoms: Shiin, Xu, and Liang. Separated by mountains and divided by politics and hatred, the lands sought to destroy one another, battling fiercely to determine an ultimate victor. As the war reached the peak of its intensity, fire rained from the sky, scorched the land, and destroyed the kingdoms' wills to fight. The war came to an end, negotiations resumed, and a time of peace reigned among the kingdoms. Now, over a century later, that peace is threatened. Determined to gather an army of gifted warriors, the Emperor of Shiin is seeking any who have Power, stopping at nothing to force them into his service. As a peasant living on the outskirts of Shiin's inner city, Reila never expected to be arrested and forcibly presented in court to the Emperor, much less retained within the palace walls indefinitely. Forced to act as a personal servant to the Empress, Reila must adjust to palace life and cope with the realization that she will never again see her family. Forces greater than any imperial mandate are at work however and Reila soon finds herself in a constantly shifting world where the gifted are lusted after, the Crown Prince is a traitor, and Reila herself is the key to ending all war.
