Sinopse

Once a renowned opera Diva, lethal duellist and scandalous libertine, Julie d'Aubigny carries the vampiric contagion in her veins five decades after her apparent death. In a life of inhuman power and cruel sensuality, she navigates the occult intrigues of Europe with the aid of twin companions, facing down enemies both righteous and unholy. Arnold Brennan is a devout young clergyman who believes that all evil stems from mankind's rebellion against God's laws, and that so-called monsters are nought but pagan myth and fanciful superstition. But events set in motion by his father's murder will lead him on a search for truth that brings him face to face with inhuman forces. As their paths cross, these very different individuals must contend with the deadly machinations of hostile occult societies and ancient, merciless predators.

    Being on a ship is usually very safe.  The days of sinking after hitting an iceberg are almost unthinkable.  A ship goes from one port to another, seemingly without a care in the world.  Advanced technology has kept this means of transport as no more uncomfortable as maybe a bit of queasiness after going up and down in a storm.  But worse?  No, not really possible, is it? 
     
    In this volume our authors beg to differ.  They would like to bring us stories where being on a ship is simply the worse place to be.  Horror and terror, and worse, infest their narratives and threaten all and everything aboard.

    She tried to change the system. Now she’s questioning how far she’s willing to go to protect her people. 
    Atlanta is under siege. A new, deadly hallucinogenic drug floods the streets, pushed by ruthless cartels and ignored by overwhelmed police. Tamika, a devoted social worker, presents a real plan to clean up her city—but the mayor rejects her proposal. And when the man who killed her parents walks free, she realizes: the system wasn’t built to save people like her. 
    Then a drive-by shooting shatters her world again, and something ancient stirs inside her. 
    A powerful ancestral force awakens within Tamika, revealing supernatural gifts passed down through bloodlines. She’s chosen to become the next Warrior Angel, part of a hidden legacy charged with protecting Black communities from threats both seen and unseen. 
    Now, as the city descends deeper into chaos, Tamika must decide: Is it enough to fight within the system—or will she cross the line into something darker? 
    She hasn’t killed. Not yet. But the question looms over every choice she makes: 
    If killing one dealer could save a neighborhood, would it be worth it? At what point—if ever—is it not okay to kill, to save the lives of others? 
    🔥 Tamika: Warrior Angel is a heart-pounding, genre-bending debut full of ancestral power, spiritual reckoning, urban grit, and emotional truth—written for readers who crave bold heroines, real-world stakes, and the spiritual fire of a people rising.

    Jasmine and Blossom Hamilton aren’t just sisters, they’re best friends . . . most of the time. That didn’t change when Blossom turned into a zombie. When the Hamilton girls move to Glastonbury, Connecticut, the girls have more to deal with than just starting at a new school and making new friends: people suddenly start turning up dead, brains removed, and Blossom becomes the prime suspect.  
    In the midst of cute boys, mean girls, and a vice principal who’s a serious disciplinarian with an axe to grind, can the sisters figure out what’s going on and clear Blossom’s name before the police and the Anti-Zombie League take matters into their own hands?
