  Sophie Briggs has made it to her junior year at the School of Roots and Vines, but it isn't all fun and games for the Defenders. 
   
   
   
  Change is coming. Some good and some . . . not so much. Friends are breaking up—will Sophie have to take sides? 
   
   
   
  Sophie and Marcus are struggling, too. Marcus is pushing Sophie and the rest of the gang away, worried that being a Templeton will put them all at risk. He thinks he needs to do this by himself. 
   
   
   
  Does he have to go it alone? 
   
   
   
  Both Sophie and Marcus have taken on jobs at the EBI, unbeknownst to each other, hoping to help mend a bruised heart. Fate might just have a different plan in store for them. 
   
   
   
  Something dark is brewing again in Mammoth Cave. We're pretty sure it's going to take more than Marcus to put an end to it. 
   
   
   
  Can Sophie convince Marcus and the rest of the Defenders that they are better together so they can prevent another disaster?

He also shared volumes and collaborated with Charles Lamb, Robert Southey, and Charles Lloyd. He wrote the poems The Rime of the Ancient Mariner and Kubla Khan, as well as the major prose work Biographia Literaria.

  The island of Iwo Jima was the epic land and sea battle that produced one of the iconic images of WWII: the Marines raising the American flag on Mount Surabachi, an active volcano that was the site of intense hand to hand combat. In this gripping novel, P. T. Deutermann follows a young gunnery liaison officer, Lee Bishop, who during the ferocious battle for the island is pulled from his station aboard the USS Nevada to serve onshore as a spotter, calling in coordinates for the ship to target with missiles. 
   
   
   
  But Bishop is completely unready for what he will witness and experience: a literal hell, during which 26,000 Americans are killed in a fight to the very last man, which culminates in the blistering, sulfurous tunnels of Surabachi itself, where an entire platoon of Marines is held captive. Iwo, 26 Charlie is a dramatic, utterly authentic novel by an award-winning writer.

  A new marriage. A perfect home. A machine that says it's all a lie. 
  Rowena Snyder has the life she's always wanted. So why is everything falling apart? 
  Moving to the suburbs was supposed to be easy. Instead, Rowena struggles with panic attacks, a husband who wants her on medication, and the isolation of new motherhood. Then a suspicious house fire at her baby’s birthday party threatens to send her over the edge. 
  When Rowena's husband brings home a product in beta testing at his Silicon Valley tech firm, it’s a godsend. She uses it for everything. A digital assistant, a mental health supporter, even a friend. 
  But “Maxine” is more than a digital assistant. Its algorithm collects data to predict future events. And soon Maxine delivers a bone-chilling warning that threatens to shatter Rowena’s new suburban life to pieces: 
  "Your husband is going to try to kill you." 
  Who can she trust? Herself? Her man? Or her eerily accurate new friend, Maxine?
