The old gods live: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. This must be understood, or nothing wonderful can come out of the story I am going to relate.

This What are you to do when the world begins to shift right beneath your feet?

Michael accepted the coveted Stewardship of Nothernlands because it was a prestige beyond his dreams, no other altruistic reasons. His job was to make wealth for the Duchy and keep it coming.

What he did not expect was having to put together the shattered lonely heart of a Duke and keep it safe from everything destiny could throw at them.

Can he and his Duke keep the most powerful kingdom in their world from falling apart from the storm of vengeance, deceit and greed that was brewing in the horizon?

Wayne Benson is an engineer in the small town of Rosewood, Kentucky in the year 1993. Odd things begin to happen that eventually propel him and others into a fight for their lives. This story is told purely from his perspective through his journal entries.

The mighty wizards Khaalindaan and Norlorn fought the final battle. The Aglanthol wizard Norlorn won. Khaalindaan's spirit, however, is only banned for a thousand years. Once released, it will aim at Aglanthol's destruction. The time is over. The time for Khaalindaan's return has come. Only one man can stop him. The wizard Neldor, the royal soldier Qildor, his friend Magath, and the old woman Gwyn are getting involved in the fight.

The Coliseum, a place where the bloodlust of the masses is sated by the death of those whose fates are decided by others. What happens when freedom and slavery clash? Who walks away?

Charlotte lives with her neko girl in the shadow of a foster father she hates, but rarely sees any more. Life is peaceful since she moved out of her foster home, and taking in a new rescue catboy to nurture seems a logical expansion of her little family.

Finn, her foster brother, runs afoul of his father for the same reason Charlotte had - being caught in a compromising position with a member of the same sex. All he really wants is space to figure himself out, and act just like the neko he adores.

Zack is struggling to make friends. The only person who appeals is Finn, who for some reason resists every overture of friendship...

In leaving a sick system we must seek freedom. Freedom, to be gained, must have a sacrifice. You must cut it from the world and run off into the night with it.

In facing our shadows we find whence comes our strength. In accepting our past we can accept our present.

Not all demons are evil, sadistic bastards. Some, like our hero, want change in hell: gardening, a professional work ethic, reading romances. Perhaps, even love.

‘Quick! Pretend you’re my output!’

Kerry blinks in bemusement, looking down at the hand on his arm. Who is this girl? ‘What? Why?’

‘I need to get this guy off my back and my boyfriend’s not here tonight.’

‘Oh.’ Kerry he decides to just roll with it and nods. ‘Well, okay.’
