  John Taylor is the name. I work the Nightside. Only in that dark heart of London where it's always three A.M., where human and inhuman can feed their darkest desires, do I feel at home. Probably because I was born there. 
   
   
              
  What I do is find things—people, objects—and in this case, the truth about the origins of the Nightside. 
   
   
              
  That's what Lady Luck has hired me to investigate. But the more I dig, the more I discover, not about the Nightside but about the great question in my life: exactly who—and what—was my long-vanished mother. 
   
   
              
  Paying jobs are one thing. Personal quests are another. And I've been warned that uncovering the facts about dear old mum could be a very bad thing, not just for the Nightside but for all of existence. 
   
   
              
  Still I can't stop . . . I'm John Taylor. Finding things is who I am. It's what I do. Whatever the consequences . . .

  And an ancient enemy might rise from the dust of the past...

  What if abandoning your family was the only way to save them? 
  August Monk awakens naked in a field of pulsing red mushrooms, her feet tingling with voices she shouldn't be able to hear. One moment she was touring Britain's oldest brewery—the next, she's in a medieval world where women brew beer, commune with sentient fungal networks, and harbor dangerous secrets. 
  Taken in by Margaret, a midwife protecting forbidden feminine wisdom from a zealous priest, August discovers magic in the kind of slowness she's spent forty-seven years running from. Her marriage is fracturing. Her company is failing. Her body is changing in ways she can't control. But here, grounded by mushroom networks that whisper of balance and rebirth, she's finally standing still. 
  When religious persecution threatens to destroy Margaret's community—and the ancient knowledge they protect—August faces an impossible choice: fight for her found family or find her way home. 
  For readers who loved The Midnight Library and Circe—a luminous debut about parallel realities, midlife awakening, and the courage it takes to choose yourself.

  One of the greatest threats to mankind's existence has become a reality. The Yellowstone Caldera erupts with a force of a thousand nuclear warheads, expelling seven hundred cubic miles of ash and rock all at once into the sky. And it's not finished . . . 
   
   
   
  When Marty and her brother, Ben, relocate with their family from Los Angeles to a small town in Nebraska, the transition isn't easy. Because they are in high school, their mother believes sending them away for a week to camp might help them make friends. 
   
   
   
  Marty reluctantly agrees and they go to the camp in Wyoming. 
   
   
   
  They are there only a couple of days when the eruption happens. 
   
   
   
  At the edge of the kill zone with no communication or evacuation help in sight, Marty and Ben have no choice but to leave if they want to survive. 
   
   
   
  On foot, they begin the long journey that will take them across the ash strewn countryside flooded with desperate survivors and dangerous conditions. 
   
   
   
  With temperatures plummeting and another eruption looming, can they make it to safety in time? If, of course, a safe place even exists.
