    Irish Mythology and modern Multi-universe theory meet in an action adventure. 
    A pre-Celtic artifact transforms into a bracelet and climbs up your arm. And now you can speak any language. And you can travel ‘time-lines’. Imagine a multiuniverse with a ‘Time-line’ for every possible future and present. 
    When Kate, the daughter of an American Professor, finds the bracelet, she and her friends are catapulted into the ‘Time-lines’. 
    Into a Time-line of modern day sophisticated Raptor dinosaurs that regard humans as gourmet food.  
    And they also walk with modern Pharaohs of Egypt. 
    Conchobar is a teenage run-away from ‘Tir-na- Nogh’ (Celtic mythological ‘Land of the Young.’) He has lost his bracelet to Asil, the daughter of a farmer who is a modern Raptor in his Time-line. 
    Harrington, their Shoggoth (a being who performs a task) is actually a reporter with the prestigious Irish Times.  
    The Jamaican aunt of Kate’s friend Lana accidentally uses Obeah magic to make Harrington fall in love with her, and the children have to bring him across the Time-lines to break the spell.  
    He becomes the Oracle in the ‘Chapel of the Hearing Ear’ in the Time–line of the modern Pharaoh, the ruler of the Western World. 
    The Egyptians think the Raptor Asil, in reality a teenager, is ‘Wepwawet, the jackal God of Abydos, Lord of the Necroplis.’ 
      
    The Raptors want to use Conchobar’s bracelet to transport the humans across from the Egyptian Time- line to sell them in their Raptor Time- line as ‘gourmet food.’ They offer to make Conchobar the Pharaoh if he will help them. 
    Kate and her team, aided by policewoman Mary, set out to put a stop to all this.

    "The Nameless City" is a haunting tale of cosmic horror by H. P. Lovecraft, first published in 1921. It follows an intrepid explorer who ventures deep into the Arabian desert in search of a lost, ancient ruin—a city so old that it predates all known human civilizations. As he descends into its crumbling subterranean tunnels, he uncovers strange, reptilian artifacts and eerie bas-reliefs that depict a race of grotesque, non-human beings that once ruled this desolate place. 
    A Cthulhu Mythos story, “The Nameless City” introduces themes of forbidden knowledge, ancient cosmic entities, and the insignificance of humanity in the face of the unknown.

    My son just vanished into thin air… from a commercial jet cruising at 30,000 feet. 
    The forces that took him aren't of this world. 
    I've barely recovered from the revelations that my boss is a vampire and magic is real. Now my child has been kidnapped by Fae who want to rule humanity, and I've acquired powers I can't control. 
    Blowing doors off their hinges and starting fires with the power of my mind won't help me find Jace. For that, I'll have to trust a man—a vampire—with emotional walls as tall and thick as Fort Knox. 
    The answers I need won't be found on Earth—but to save my son, I'm ready to brave a realm that drives humans mad. I've been set adrift in a terrifying new world of monsters and magic. Adrift, but not alone. Somehow, I've gained a misfit family among the living and undead. 
    Just as well, because at this rate, it looks like I'm going to need them.
