  For fans of mind-bending stakes: Think The Man in the High Castle meets Dark Matter, with a dash of Cloud Atlas’s interconnected destinies. 
  In a world where history took a different path after a pivotal 17th-century battle, historian Oskar Sobieski makes a shocking discovery: the reality he knows—a technologically advanced Eastern European nation that never lost its sovereignty—was never supposed to exist. When he touches an ancient coin, Oskar glimpses an alternate timeline where his homeland fell, was erased from maps for over a century, and fought desperately for its resurrection. 
  Researchers investigating these timeline anomalies are mysteriously dying, thrusting Oskar and the enigmatic diplomat Marie-Claire Poniatowska into a dangerous conspiracy. Together, they uncover a terrifying truth: entities known as the Architects have been manipulating reality itself, and now three divergent timelines are collapsing toward a catastrophic convergence. 
  With the gleaming fusion-powered city around them experiencing increasingly dangerous reality fluctuations, Oskar must confront his own alternate self—a bitter, scarred version from a timeline of occupation and struggle. As the barriers between realities thin, Oskar faces an impossible choice: which version of history deserves to survive? 
  A mind-bending thriller that reimagines European history through the lens of quantum physics, The Crown Splits weaves rich historical heritage with cutting-edge speculative fiction. The fate of multiple realities is in the balance in this world of royal intrigue, interdimensional entities, and impossible choices.

  "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is an 1820 short story by American author Washington Irving, contained in his collection of 34 essays and short stories titled The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent. Irving wrote the story while living in Birmingham, England. "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" is among the earliest examples of American fiction with enduring popularity, especially during Halloween because of a character known as the Headless Horseman believed to be a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by a cannonball in battle. The story is set in 1790 in the countryside around the Dutch settlement of Tarry Town (historical Tarrytown, New York), in a secluded glen known as Sleepy Hollow. Sleepy Hollow is renowned for its ghosts and the haunting atmosphere that pervades the imaginations of its inhabitants and visitors. Some residents say this town was bewitched during the early days of the Dutch settlement, while others claim that the mysterious atmosphere was caused by an old Native American chief, the "wizard of his tribe ... before the country was discovered by Master Hendrik Hudson." Residents of the town are seemingly subjected to various supernatural and mysterious occurrences. They are subjected to trance-like visions and frequented by strange sights, music, and voices "in the air." The inhabitants of Sleepy Hollow are fascinated by the "local tales, haunted spots, and twilight superstitions" on account of the mysterious occurrences and haunting atmosphere.

  They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions. For Preacher, that road begins at a remote trading post in the Bitterroot Mountains. At first, it's a friendly reunion with his old buddies Audie and Nighthawk. But then, a young Indian woman and her grandfather are attacked by a vicious gang of thieves—and all hell breaks loose. When the smoke clears, the gang's leader, who goes by the name Mack Ozark, has escaped, the grandfather is dead, and the woman is mortally wounded. Before she dies, she begs Preacher to look after a bundle she is carrying. Inside, wrapped in a blanket, are two blond-haired, blue-eyed babies. They're clearly twins—and clearly not hers . . .  
  Who do the babies belong to? And what is a man like Preacher supposed to do with them? The only clue is a pair of gemstone necklaces around the babies' necks. Preacher's friend Audie recognizes the stones as star garnets from a nearby valley, where they head off to find the twins' mother. Along the way, they realize they're being followed by Mack Ozark . . . He knows the babies' father stole a fortune in jewels. He knows the babies' blanket contains a map to the hidden gems. But he doesn't know just how far a man like Preacher will go to protect those little angels—and send a devil like Ozark straight to hell . . .
