Framed for a casino massacre, Harmony and Jessie are on the run - in the real world and in their own. From the seedy casinos of Atlantic City to the steamy bayous of Louisiana and the imposing facades of Washington, DC, there's not a soul on earth they can trust.

Welcome to Planet Hero! Attention civilians! In the event of superhero on villain battling, seek immediate shelter. And if a villain decides to kidnap you, hold you hostage, or attempts to rob and/or kill you, please remain calm, heroes will arrive shortly. Thank you for your support!

Lorcan and Orla escaped their tragic fate on Earth by entering the Daimon Gate, a universe governed by virtuous principles. However, their entry was considered a dishonest attempt that violated the most important principle of that universe. To earn their keep, Lorcan and Orla had to return to Earth on a mission which would lead to several dangerous encounters with were-creatures.

During the battle for the Indigo Stone, the enemy has placed a curse on Lorcan's parents, forcing him to go back to Ireland to break the curse. Unbeknownst to Lorcan, Orla follows him. They are now back to the land they had run away from, facing the very reason they had left - a threat that will keep them apart forever.

Lorcan, Orla, Roy and Mori escaped the brutal attack of the sea creature by the skin of their teeth, only to find out that they had not yet fulfilled their mission. Not only had they put their lives in danger and not achieved their goal, but they had also triggered a catastrophe that might cost millions of human lives.

Es war bei den Lakota Indianern Tradition, dass die Ältesten ihre Weisheit in Geschichten an die Jüngeren weitergaben. Diese Geschichten, in denen es um mythische Sagengestalten, die Wesen des Himmels und der Erde, die lebendige Natur und ruhmreiche Vorfahren ging, waren Wegweiser auf den verschlungenen Pfaden des Lebens. Sie vermitteln Werte wie Liebe, Respekt, Mitgefühl und laden ein zu verweilen, sich zu besinnen. Poetisch, magisch, wunderschön - die Weisheitsgeschichten der Indianer sind ein Geschenk an die Welt.

An unbelievable rebirth. A deep, abiding vow. A forbidden deed. “Every breath you take is a song to my soul.” Nothing is sacred to Cole when it comes to keeping his love – not even covenants made with gods.

All Detective Romeo Moon wanted to do was hunt down and capture a mass-murdering demon-god who just so happened to be a member of his family. A man-to-dog shifter himself, he'd usually be up for the task, family or not, especially with the help of his best friend, a mixed-species zombie-human undertaker.... But what is one to do when you discover a conspiracy that includes the mayor, the city police, a robber baron with the most powerful magic of all (money), a Dracula Vampire, and an army of both the living and the dead all involved in a plot to take over the city?

I used to think that my life was boring. I resigned myself to the rut I was stuck in. Then my entire existence was turned upside down. In the last six months, I’ve learned things that would get me committed to an asylum if I repeated them. First, I was kidnapped by vampires. Yes, vampires. Sounds crazy, right? My best friend, Donna, became one of the fanged after that little adventure and hooked up with a hot, Scottish vampire named Conner. They’re even planning a wedding.
