  Witches, wereapes, and pregnancy cravings… What could possibly go wrong? 
  Just when I thought I was getting the hang of this whole “married to a wereape” thing, life throws me a curveball in the form of pregnancy. And let me tell you, pregnancy and magic do not mix well. My cravings are bizarre, my magic is on the fritz, and I’m pretty sure I accidentally hexed the toaster. Twice. 
  But as if dealing with unpredictable magic and hormonal mood swings wasn’t enough, ominous threats start showing up, warning me that my baby is in danger. And around here, threats are never just idle words—they’re curses waiting to happen. 
  To make matters worse, Marcus’s past is coming back to haunt us, and our little town of Hollow Cove is getting a bit too crowded with strangers asking too many questions.  
  With danger lurking in every shadow and my powers going haywire, keeping my family safe is getting more complicated by the second. But if anyone thinks they can threaten me and my unborn child, they’ve got another thing coming. 
  I may not have this pregnancy thing figured out, but protecting my family? That’s something I was born to do.

  Accepting This Vision As Fate Would Be My Ruin. 
  I may be an immortal psychic, but having a vision that the Horseman of Death will rise and claim my soulmate’s life really puts a crimp in my style. I mean, I just got him back. 
  Apollo has to know I’ll do everything in my power to stop it. 
  But no matter what I do, I can’t seem to push my abilities to give me specifics. Each time I try, it’s like my energy is siphoned and it takes me days to get back on my feet. Neat-o. 
  Add on top, we’re trying to keep the Gemini Twins, Colton and Cat, from self-destructing–or worse, getting taken by Sentinel. 
  Unfortunately, my rag-tag team is having problems of their own, so they’re zero help. Everything around me is falling apart and I can’t let it happen. 
  Come hell or high water, I will find a way to hold this group of misfits together–and good luck to anyone who tries to stand in my way.

  South Africa, Zimbabwe, China and Britain - In the shadow of the Cold War, a deadly secret connects three continents - and time is running out.  
  When a mild-mannered scientist accidentally uncovers a web of international espionage during a routine visit to Beijing, he's thrust into a deadly game of cat and mouse. His only ally? A magnetic anti-apartheid activist who may have secrets of her own.  
  As they race to expose the truth, a veteran South African intelligence operative moves through the streets of newly-independent Zimbabwe, his mission intertwined with the machinations of a mysterious Chinese power player from Mao's inner circle. Meanwhile, a sinister collaboration between apartheid forces and rogue British intelligence agents works in the shadows to keep their nuclear conspiracy buried - at any cost.  
  From the neon-lit backstreets of Beijing to the wild, untamed lowveld where Zimbabwe meets South Africa, this explosive thriller weaves together Cold War tensions, political intrigue, and the threat of nuclear devastation. As these disparate threads converge, our unlikely heroes find themselves at the centre of a plot that could reshape the balance of power in the Southern Hemisphere - if they can survive long enough to expose it.
