  It’s every parent’s nightmare—getting a call during the school day from their teenager, huddled in a classroom as the sound of bullets echo in the background. When gunmen invade a Brooklyn school, that nightmare becomes a horrific reality. Talking a suspect into sending his hostages out alive is NYPD Detective Gemma Capello’s specialty. Alerted to a school shooting at her nephew’s high school, she is one of the first officers on-scene. Detective Sean Logan and the Apprehension Tactical Team arrive next and immediately enter the school to apprehend the two shooters, while Gemma remains outside to help students evacuate. But as time stretches on, and there's no word of her nephew, her fear builds that he is one of the lost. Instead of a quickly-resolved mass shooting, one of the two shooters holes up with a group of students and their teacher as hostages, and Gemma steps in to negotiate for their survival. Floors away and armed with only her wits and the sound of her voice to convince him, Gemma fights for control of the situation even as tactical leadership pressures her for a more aggressive strategy. But for Gemma, it’s not about a quick solution. It’s about moving heaven and earth to bring everyone in that classroom home. And she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.

  History doesn't just repeat itself at the Brannon House. It sleepwalks. 
   
   
   
  When Kenzi wakes up in a rarely used wing of her family's historic mansion, she knows something is wrong. Her sleepwalking has returned, but this time, it's more dangerous—and she's waking up farther from her own bed. 
   
   
   
  As her nightly wanderings grow more frequent, her family scrambles to protect her. Then they uncover an unsettling photograph of Millie Brannon, an ancestor who looks eerily like Kenzi, with a haunting accusation scrawled on the back. Nearly a century ago, Millie too roamed these halls in her sleep, only to wake up covered in blood. 
   
   
   
  Now, with her pregnancy progressing and her connection to Millie's mysterious past deepening, Kenzi must unravel the truth about what happened in 1928. But some secrets should have stayed buried, and someone—or something—will stop at nothing to ensure she follows in Millie's sleepy footsteps. 
   
   
   
  Will Kenzi wake up before it's too late . . . or become the next Brannon to pay the ultimate price?

  It's summer of 1899 and the state of Wyoming has been unresponsive for an increasingly alarming amount of time. No mail nor telegram communication has ever been sent out or responsive, which has prompted the United States Postal Inspection Service to investigate. The inspector general has selected US Postal Inspector Jed Pluck from Boston, Massachusetts to team up with another postal inspector named Louie Secoli to investigate these towns along the railroad. The peculiarity of this case, in contrast to others they had investigated previously, is that the only evidence they have is a strange, large black-red feather, sharp enough to slice through skin. 
  Leaving his family once again, Jed hitches the train with Louie, and they set off for Wyoming. Upon arriving in Cheyenne, they found Wyoming's capital deserted—and covered in the very same peculiar feathers. The next few towns along the railroad all share the same description: no bodies in sight and covered in the same feathers. 
  Only one town along the railway has been spared from the disappearances. Lemonstown, a town near the Red Desert, remains active but unaware of the fate of the other towns. Fearing that Lemonstown would be the next town to be raided, the two postal inspectors must solve the mystery of the strange creature and help the townspeople before Lemonstown becomes the next ghost town covered in feathers
