Sinopsis

An Eye for an Eye is a novel by Anthony Trollope. Fred Neville, a lieutenant of cavalry and heir to the earldom of Scroope, woos and then seduces the beautiful Kate O’Hara. Kate lives with her mother in genteel poverty in an isolated cottage near the cliffs of Moher in western Ireland. News of the romantic entanglement quickly reaches Scroope Manor, and Fred is summoned back to Dorsetshire where the earl extracts a firm undertaking that Fred will not marry Kate O’Hara under any circumstances, despite any promises he has made to the girl. Once back in Ireland, Fred is confronted at his barracks by Mrs. O’Hara, demanding to know when he intends to marry her daughter, who is carrying his baby. He is shamed into agreeing to visit Kate, but that evening word arrives that the old Earl has died, and that Fred is now the Earl of Scroope. Fred realizes that marriage to Kate O’Hara is out of the question as her background would make her quite unacceptable in society. He resolves to confront Mrs. O’Hara and her unfortunate daughter. The climax of the novel takes place between the young earl and Mrs. O’Hara on the cliffs above the cottage.

    I'm your cookie-cutter villain . . . Or that's the role Christmas Falls has given me. I'm here to help my grandfather fulfill the crazy amount of orders his toy shop is getting. The company I work for would love to take it off his hands. And I want to see Grandpa Nicholas enjoy a few years without having to work so hard. When I arrive, not only is Gramps adamant about keeping the toy shop, but he has already hired an assistant enabler who can't stand the sight of me. Ezra, the real world Santa's Elf, an unbearable bubble of Christmas tradition, a walking, talking cinnamon roll, is as delusional as Grandpa Nick himself. 
 
 
 
Suddenly, I'm the villain of this Christmas story. Ezra challenges every smart decision I make and thinks I'm here to steal Christmas from the town's kids. Convincing Grandpa to sell the shop and fighting Ezra at every turn is more than one guy can do alone. But maybe I don't have to. A temporary truce with Ezra quickly turns into a passionate and disastrous wildfire that will melt this winter's snowfall if we don't resist the temptation. We come from different worlds: I have a life waiting for me in New York and Ezra lives and breathes small town charms. We are destined to fall apart, but that's not stopping me from dreaming up ways to keep Ezra with me for another minute. Or hour. Or night.

    In a dimension where reality bends and betrayal breathes, rookie smuggler Nate stumbles into Ipsulor—a realm of warped gravity, rogue portals, and one rule: trust no one. His mission? Deliver the Siphon, a device powerful enough to dismantle the Rifters Guild's ironclad control over interdimensional travel. But when a cunning con artist, Kysta, strips him of the Siphon—and his dignity—Nate's simple job spirals into a lethal game of shifting allegiances. 
Kysta, revealed as the brilliant double-agent Laneea, plays both sides: selling the Siphon to her volatile ex-lover, crime lord Kroost, while manipulating Nate through her unwitting pawn, the enigmatic Jeek. Meanwhile, the fanatical Rifters Guild deploys Ziidik, a merciless enforcer, to hunt down every traitor—including Laneea's crew—with sadistic precision. 
Teamed with Avee, a shape-shifting guide as unpredictable as Ipsulor itself, Nate navigates neon-drenched criminal empires and the Guild's slaughterhouses. But when a reckless venture into the Grey Realm binds an ancient specter to Laneea's psyche, the stakes detonate. As factions collide in the labyrinthine city of Fornryre, attraction ignites between Nate and Laneea—even as her spectral hitchhiker plots its own catastrophic rebirth. 
In a crescendo of chaos, Laneea gambles everything to unleash the specter into Ipsulor's portals, crippling the Guild in a storm of disintegrating enforcers. But victory bleeds into dread: the entity within her stirs, hungry. Reality fractures. Trust shatters. And Nate realizes too late that in Ipsulor, every alliance is a trapdoor—and survival demands becoming as ruthless as the dimension itself. 
A high-octane blend of interdimensional heists, psychic horrors, and noir-esque betrayal, SIPHON AND SPECTER Part 1 pits flawed schemers against collapsing realities—where the greatest threat isn't the Guild… but what they've unleashed.

    "A FINELY CRAFTED SUPERNATURAL CRIME THRILLER... WITH RAZOR SHARP PROSE AND A BRISTLING ATMOSPHERE." -The BookLife Prize

As they navigate a treacherous landscape of occult rituals and black magic, the horrific discovery of additional victims deepens the mystery and hints at a more sinister plot… one involving a powerful enemy whose secrets include ancestral ties, malevolent forces, and the fulfillment of a dark prophecy. 
As the days count down to Halloween, the race is on to stop an unspeakable evil from plunging Salem into eternal darkness. 
A National Indie Excellence Awards Finalist for Horror 
From the award-winning author of THE ART OF DYING 
Although THE BURYING POINT picks up where THE ART OF DYING leaves off, it follows Detective Ray Hanley on a completely new case that can be read as a standalone novel. 
“An unpredictable blend of crime and horror… The Burying Point grabs from the first pages with crisp, focused prose and dialogue-driven scenecraft.” –BookLife Reviews (Editor’s Pick) 
“A brilliant and unmissable dance with the devil. Salem witch lore has rarely been as terrifying as it is in The Burying Point.” –Bestthrillers.com 
“[Cavignano’s] fictionalized version of Salem makes for a wonderfully spooky backdrop… An effectively atmospheric crime novel that pits no-nonsense cops against wicked Massachusetts magic.” –Kirkus Reviews
