Sinopse

It's the aftermath of the second opium war in Southeast Asia. Declan Malcolm, the newly elected captain, must lead a crew of sailors to navigate the treacherous high seas while protecting goods for a local triad leader, Three-Finger Tang.
 
At the same time, Civil War veterans Ridley and Dranoff are adjusting to post-reconstruction and become mercenaries for hire.
 
Both groups seek purpose to their life, and their paths cross by chance. But when a celebration of good fortune turns dangerous, the mariners and soldiers must join forces to vanquish a supernatural foe - or die trying.
 
Historical fiction meets bone-chilling horror in Andrew Davie's 'From Beyond', a story set in the dangerous high seas of late 19th century Asia.

    Some enemies never die. They just wait to be remembered. 
     
    Salem was meant to be a fresh start. But when ER Nurse Henry Trank starts dreaming of a woman being hunted through the snow, the nightmare follows him into daylight—right down to the pine needles tangled in his hair. 
     
    What began as a haunting dream spirals into something far more terrifying. Desperate for answers, he records himself sleeping—only to discover he's acting out the brutal final moments of the woman's life. 
     
    Henry turns to the only person in town he trusts—an enchanting, sharp-tongued, green-eyed witch with a quiet strength and a presence that feels eerily familiar. There's something between them—undeniable, electric, and older than memory. 
     
    There's just one little problem—Henry doesn't buy any of this, and time is running out. If he can't be convinced to believe in magic—or in her—Salem's dark history might just reach across three centuries to claim them both . . . again. 
     
    In Your Dreams is the captivating first book in Robert Sanborn's League of the Moon series—where magic never dies, nightmares whisper secrets, and a love once lost may be the key to breaking a centuries-old curse written in blood and shadow.

    Sophie and Joseph Argenton have survived the impossible… for now. But their escape from Northwood is short-lived. The sinister shadow that haunted their ancestral home survived, and has attached itself to Joseph's young cousin. Desperate, they travel to meet her father at Kensington, a long-abandoned mansion overlooking a dead town. The house offers a small hope: its original owner had dedicated her life to researching the monster that now possesses Elise. There's a chance that here they will find a way to kill the creature without harming the girl. 
    But Kensington has its own dangers, and once it has Sophie and Joseph within its grasp, it may never let them leave. 
    Trapped inside the ancient building's collapsing walls, Sophie and Joseph are forced to confront the horrors that hide within. Shrouded figures stalk them from the shadows. Whispers echo through the night. Unmarked graves dot the property. And the dead are not as restful as they seem…

    The end of technology and maybe of humanity itself.  Demons (and magic) unleashed upon the Earth. 
    The Mist meets a gritty prequel to The Elfstones of Shannara, The Infernal Age is a nail-biting take on the death of the modern world and the birth of something darker. 
    Gabriel, an ex-soldier-turned-project-manager with anger issues, is sent to a small town in New Mexico and charged with keeping a failed government experiment secret and stable. There he meets Tam, an oddly philosophical scientist, but as they settle into a bantering friendship, things go catastrophically wrong.  
    As the containment fails, the truth is revealed - the experiment has punched a hole through to another reality allowing demon-like aliens to pass through, bringing their realm’s laws of physics with them. The creatures rampage as all technology fails and many people begin to sicken and die. The duo meets the traumatized but resilient Ripley and together they embark on a quest to get vital data to the experiment’s authors. As they travel together, battle demons, give aid to some survivors and fight others, each of them realizes that they are manifesting unsettling powers which, while helping them, also threaten to estrange them from their humanity.  
    An apocalyptic blend of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, The Infernal Age - Demon Gate is book one of a debut series by author Anson Joaquín. Join Gabriel, Tam, and Ripley as they are confronted by the end of the world they knew and start their quest to set things right, or failing that, at least to stay alive… and stay human.
