Welcome to New Londinium, a city that developed from an enclave of stragglers who survived the culminating blast of the last world war. From beneath the lee of a mountain formed as a result of the devastation, a colony gathered and grew. After several hundred years, this post-apocalyptic city is filled to bursting, and everyone—well, nearly everyone—is struggling for a place amidst the city’s Chosen, the elite ruling faction.Robert Mayhew, by all appearances, is a man destined to be numbered amongst these Chosen. But Mayhew is both more than and less than he appears. His unauthorized conception, and a hideous deformity that was the result of his failed termination, have left him with a bloodthirsty lust to exact vengeance on the system that conspired to kill him even before he’d drawn his first breath.In his position as chief curator of the Absinthe Moon—the city’s center of love and leisure—and supported by the Resistance, Mayhew is in just the right position to infiltrate the Icarus Project—the executive body of the city's shadow government—and bring the whole system toppling down. So long as no one gets in his way.Enter Emaline Newell. Utterly devoid of any evidence of the city’s taint, she is a valuable asset to the Absinthe Moon, and to Mayhew in his aims to achieve elite status. As his consort, she might give him just the advantage he needs.Only Emaline has some ideas of her own, and perhaps a few things to teach him about love, loyalty, and the power he wishes to wield.

"I don't wanna go through the rest of my life wonderin' if I'm gonna wake up dead tomorrow." The year is 1973. Life as a young teenager growing up in rural poverty has molded 18 year old Jake Callahan's thoughts and actions into finally seeking independence in this sequel to The Last Test and Wilderment. On a whim and through some questionable resources, Jake finagles a way to travel to Florida and look up his old bus driver, Joe MacPherson, a character from the original first book of the series, Throne to the Dogs. Joe and his wife, Gracie, gladly give Jake a place to stay while he learns a trade and eventually makes new friends, including Nathan Steward, a local musician/celebrity/carpet installer. But true to his nature, Jake discovers his friends are of a questionable character. Not only does Jake innocently and unexpectedly fall into associating with members of a newly formed band of rock musicians of which Nathan is a member, he becomes their manager. But the promoter/financier backing the group is a narcotics dealer from the east coast named Mr. Whipple, who wants to wash his dirty money clean with a legit enterprise. Mr. Whipple presses Jake into serving as his advertiser to arrange potential buyers of his illicit and ill-gotten 'wares' in exchange for the position Jake will assume managing the band. Entwined with the music and illegal drug business is the beautiful and mysterious Willow. Against his friends advice and Jake's own better judgement, Jake becomes involved with Willow despite the fact that she belongs to the dark, devious and insanely jealous Mr. Whipple. Greater problems ensue when Jake eventually makes a connection with Brian Feldt, a buyer from his home town back in Iowa City. As Sheriff Judson Pierce slowly closes in, can Jake juggle being a manager on both sides of the law while not being tarnished by either enterprise and yet still win the girl in the end?

From the unforgiving mountains of Colorado, the first of Cyris’s misfits was forged. True Puritan, Christian values collide headlong into ancient laws of a vampire culture that Cyris never felt he belonged to. The strength to be different. The strength to question. The conviction to take responsibility and pay the consequences for change. A hundred year story is woven from a rainy night in modern Los Angeles, sharing the events that lead to Cyris stepping up and accepting the title of Lord of the Fallen. Cyris and Dominik set out into the unspoiled wilderness to reunite a semi-mad, unclaimed, vampire with his missing family. To prove to him what he now was, and show him his world was changed and lost against his will. What they found was the beast who created him. A feral consciousness claimed the untouched territory. He took whatever he desired, nothing of the man he once was left. The one thing that all vampires fear becoming. The one challenge looming over the fledgling lord.
