When the great red star Calamity appeared in the sky, some believed the end had come. They were right. Calamity created the Epics: humans with incredible powers they didn't deserve. They could have saved mankind. They could have lifted us into harmony and prosperity. Instead they burned. They slaughtered. They conquered. And then they ruled. Jax has learned all of this the hard way. Orphaned at an early age, he's spent most of his childhood training to be a Reckoner - determined to find the Epics' weaknesses, unlock their secrets, and protect those of us who are still left.

Cuando la gran estrella roja Calamity apareció en los cielos, algunos pensaron que había llegado el fin. Tenían razón. Calamity creó a los Épicos: humanos poseedores de increíbles poderes que no merecían. Podrían haber salvado a la humanidad. Podrían haber elevado la humanidad a altas cotas de armonía y prosperidad. En su lugar, destruyeron. Masacraron. Conquistaron. Y luego gobernaron.

When 17-year-old Katy Swartz moved to West Virginia right before her senior year, she'd pretty much resigned herself to thick accents, dodgy Internet access, and a whole lot of boring, but then she spotted her hot neighbor, with his looming height and eerie green eyes. Things were looking up...until he opened his mouth. Daemon Black is infuriating. Arrogant. Stab-worthy. It's hate at first sight, but when a stranger attacks her and Daemon literally freezes time with a wave of his hand, well, something...unexpected happens. The hot guy next door? Well, he's an alien.

Dan Starkey reads this brand new novelisation of a recent TV adventure. Fifteen missing people. A light that hungers. A trap outside reality. A trip to 1950s Miami takes a dangerous turn, leaving the Doctor and Belinda at the mercy of Mr. Ring-a-Ding. A cartoon come to life who wants something...

Darkness always precedes the dawn. Landon and Sarah's world is under attack. Can their faith survive the ultimate test? Returning to college, they're ready for a fresh start. But ancient evil has infiltrated the institutions, seeking to unravel their bond. Professors, fellow students—who can be trusted when every friendly face might hide a demonic foe?

Daemon's determined to prove what he feels for Katy is more than a product of their bizarro connection. So she's sworn him off, even though he's running more hot than cold these days. But they've got bigger problems.The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that Katy and Daemon are linked, Katy's a goner. So is he. And there's this new boy in school who's got a secret of his own. He knows what's happened to Katy and he can help, but to do so, Katy has to lie to Daemon and stay away from him. Like that's possible.

The last thing Dawson Black expected was Bethany Williams. As a Luxen, an alien life form on Earth, human girls are...well, fun. But since the Luxen have to keep their true identities a secret, falling for one would be insane. Dangerous. Tempting. Undeniable. Bethany can't deny the immediate connection between her and Dawson. And even though boys aren't a complication she wants, she can't stay away from him. Still, whenever they lock eyes, she's drawn in. Captivated. Lured. Loved.

No one is like Daemon Black. When he set out to prove his feelings for Katy, he wasn't fooling around. Doubting him isn't something she'll do again and now that they've made it through the rough patches, well, there's a lot of spontaneous combustion going on. But even he can't protect his family from the danger of trying to free those they loved. With help coming from the most unlikely source and Adam's death still lingering with those who loved him, friends will become the deadliest of enemies and the villains will no longer be clear.

I knew the moment Katy Swartz moved in next door there was going to be trouble. Lots of it. And trouble's the last thing I need, since I'm not exactly from around here. My people arrived on Earth from Lux, a planet 13 billion light-years away. Plus, if there's one thing I know, it's that humans can't be trusted. We scare them. We can do things they only dream about, and honestly, we make them look weak as hell. Cuz they are.

Katy knows that the world changed the night the Luxen came. She can't believe that Daemon welcomed his race or stood by as his kind threatened to obliterate every last human and hybrid on Earth. But the lines between good and bad have blurred, and love has become an emotion that could destroy her-could destroy them all.

Un thriller redoutable et singulier au scénario ambitieux qui pose la question essentielle : y-a-t-il un sens à nos vies ?

Reinmar z Bělavy řečený Reynevan žije v kruté a nebezpečné době, kdy Slezsko a Čechy pustoší křížové výpravy i husitské spanilé jízdy, kdy nikdo nezná slovo "slitování" a ve jménu Páně jsou vražděny tisíce nevinných. Reynevan ještě stále věří v náboženskou obrodu a stojí na straně Husových stoupenců – a to i tehdy, když se dopouštějí nelidských zločinů. On, lékař a idealista, se musí stát špehem, vrahem a nelítostným mstitelem.
