Alexander has no idea who he is or where he came from. His friends all know. Everyone seems to know, actually. But they are all bound by an ancient, irritating oath – an oath that forbids them to tell. Pretty much the only thing Alexander knows is that he is “supposedly” here to fulfill some half-finished prophecy that some half-dead Oracle half-delivered. He works for “The Fallen,” a straggling group of gods and heroes who are all that remain of the Greek Dynasty that the Titans wiped out years ago when they escaped the foul pits of Tartarus. Every hundred years or so Alexander has to battle some prehistoric Sea Demon, or retrieve a magical artifact that someone decided to leave at the bottom of the Mediterranean Sea – but nothing too abnormal.And then on a clear afternoon not that long ago, and not too far from where you are reading, one of the Greek Gods is reborn in the body of a teenage boy named Paul. There was uproar. Panic. Chaos. The Fallen immediately send Alexander to retrieve the nascent god, saying that he is the only one powerful to rescue him. Because there is one titanic complication: Cronus (big, supreme evil guy who is Lord of the Titans) wants Paul as well, and he will stop at nothing to get him. Magic duels, sword fights, and terrible secrets lay in wait for Alexander. He races across the country on a moody, flight-capable equestrian, battling enormous sea serpents, man-eating horses, impudent teenagers, and other such monsters. And as he slowly unravels the mystery of his past, he begins to realize that Cronus may not be the biggest monster out there.

As Max looks into Arbalest's background, he discovers that Protherie was guarding an array of secrets that stretch back to his days as an importer of oriental antiquities.

Philadelphia, the late 1870s. A city of gas lamps, cobblestone streets, and horse-drawn carriages—and home to the controversial surgeon Dr. Spencer Black. The son of a grave robber, young Dr. Black studies at Philadelphia’s esteemed Academy of Medicine, where he develops an unconventional hypothesis: What if the world’s most celebrated mythological beasts—mermaids, minotaurs, and satyrs—were in fact the evolutionary ancestors of humankind? The Resurrectionist offers two extraordinary books in one. The first is a fictional biography of Dr. Spencer Black, from a childhood spent exhuming corpses through his medical training, his travels with carnivals, and the mysterious disappearance at the end of his life. The second book is Black’s magnum opus: The Codex Extinct Animalia, a Gray’s Anatomy for mythological beasts—dragons, centaurs, Pegasus, Cerberus—all rendered in meticulously detailed anatomical illustrations. You need only look at these images to realize they are the work of a madman. The Resurrectionist tells his story.
