When the world comes under threat, an elite international team is called in, designed to handle the highest of stakes and led by former Army Ranger Grant Valor.

The Grant Valor series delivers an explosive and monumental thrill-ride, brimming with twists that will shock and awe you at every turn. With a band of unforgettable characters whose gripping saga will compel you to devour pages deep into the twilight hours, fans of Brad Thor, Tom Clancy, and Vince Flynn are sure to fall in love.

    "Elizabeth Searle's WE GOT HIM is an ingeniously plotted, suspenseful novel written in blood, mother's milk, and the unintended consequence of rage. It is the story of one family's inherited flaws, harbored guilts, and obsessive desires, whether for a child, a parent, or a second chance to do the elusive right thing. Powerfully worked against the unfolding events of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, Elizabeth Searle's taut drama of a young, pregnant stepmother and her troubled stepson is a narrative tour de force, interweaving public and private acts of terror with the redemptive, but ever–fragile, forces of love." —Melissa Pritchard

    Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and narrated by Matthew Schmitz. The Festival, written by H.P. Lovecraft in 1923 and first published in Weird Tales in 1925, is a dark and atmospheric tale steeped in ancient rituals, ancestral mysteries, and Lovecraft’s signature cosmic horror. Set in the fictional town of Kingsport, Massachusetts, the story exemplifies Lovecraft’s ability to weave together eerie folklore, haunting landscapes, and an overwhelming sense of dread. The narrative follows an unnamed protagonist who journeys to Kingsport to partake in an ancient Yuletide festival at the invitation of his ancestors. As he arrives, the town’s atmosphere is permeated with decay and antiquity, and the townsfolk exude an unsettling aura of secrecy. What begins as a solemn, almost sacred event quickly descends into horror as the protagonist witnesses unspeakable rites and is drawn into a confrontation with forces far beyond his comprehension. The Festival is one of Lovecraft’s earliest explorations of his growing mythos, blending elements of New England folklore with hints of the Necronomicon and his broader cosmic themes. The story reflects Lovecraft’s fascination with the thin veil between the mundane and the supernatural, where ancient and malevolent powers lurk just beneath the surface of human tradition.
