After losing her two beloved great-aunts in a car accident, small-town librarian Elaine Colemar discovers a skeleton key in their antiques store. When she reads the foreign phrase engraved on it, the key's imprint burns into her hand. Clearly Elaine's stress is getting to her-her aunts are dead, she's drowning in debt, each contact with the key leaves her disoriented-and now she's seeing things ... right? After meeting with Edmund Wallace, an esteemed professor and the director of a local history museum, Elaine seizes an opportunity to rid herself of the key-and alleviate her financial woes-by selling it to him for a generous sum. It is only when the key and Professor Wallace go missing that Elaine learns about her aunts' connection to an ancient Apothecary's Guild and the story of the five keys, which are portals to mystical places.Knowing she must finish the task her aunts started, Elaine sets off to locate the missing source key before dark purposes prevail.

"e;We have no clue what we're about to discover, but it will lead us to everything else."e;The good news: we finally killed all the local zombies. The not-as-good news: I've been bitten. But assuming all goes well, and no one has to shoot me in the face, we'll finally have peace, quiet, and sanctuary ... until we decide to go play golf, where we make a stomach-turning discovery and run headlong into a deeply traumatic experience from Morgan's past. And Morgan being Morgan, this means she's going to pick a fight, which turns into another (reluctant) group road trip.We're going to go back to the fortress she stopped at on her cross-country trip and save the people trapped there from Marcus, his thugs, and their twisted ideas, even though we're outnumbered like usual. We've got a solid plan to rescue the people who want to leave and bring them back with us. Then everything will be totally great. Of course, nothing is simple or goes according to plan. It's a battle on two fronts this time--one against humans, the other against zombies--and it's going to take everything we have to survive.It's kill or be killed.

"e;I stand at the foot of the porch steps and stare mindlessly out across the lake I've looked over my entire life, trying to find comfort in the view and the memories of all that has happened. It's hard to conjure up an optimistic view of the future. Only a few days have passed since first Top, then Amelie, and then DeeDee have been removed from my life (and theirs). I haven't spent the time doing much other than moping around the family property that now feels even bigger than when I was a child."e;How did it all go so wrong? We were a team. A group of survivors ready to take down anything that came our way. But in less than a day, they were all gone. Now it's just me and the dog. I'm left wondering about my future. What do I do now? Should I stay in case Eve comes looking for me? Should I leave and go look for her? Does it matter? I worry about Eve. She stayed behind to take care of her dying father, but there's no way he is going to last long, and a nasty winter is coming. Without heat and company, will she make it? She's probably cold and alone in a house with a dead body.My big sister, Morgan, is one of the precious few people left who made it through the zombie apocalypse and is heading my way. She's far out west, but once she puts her mind to something, almost nothing can stop her. Not zombies, not a group of humans sheltering themselves and their secrets behind the walls of a madcap fortress, and not even a pirate.Survivors and zombies alike are gathering. And no one will be able to predict what's coming.Time for round three.
