Sinopse

This “fast-moving” southern American dystopian novel is “full of twists and turns” and “perhaps an insightful vision of the second Texas republic” (W. Michael Gear, New York Times–bestselling author of Dissolution). 
 
In this near-future, post-apocalyptic novel, retired lawyer-turned-professor Willoughby Burns finds himself trying to survive against hunger and deadly threats in southern Louisiana. The Dixie Apocalypse takes place in an America ravaged by natural disasters, lack of petroleum, plagues, and terrorism. What is left of the United States is controlled by martial law. Life itself becomes primitive and favors those who can grow their own food or handle firearms. Will befriends US General Merski stationed in Baton Rouge, LA, and founds a farming community of fifty farms on the eastern bank of the Mississippi river due south of downtown Baton Rouge. General Merski enlists Will as a civilian commissary officer, in charge of carrying out errands for his troops without arousing suspicion. When the general sends Will down to Texas on to bring back supplies for his garrison, Will’s survivals skills are put to the ultimate test.

    This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
    In a reality where time flows backward, reconnaissance pilot Corvan Larkin’s advanced jet is consumed by an anomalous temporal distortion, plunging him into a world where history unwinds and causality reverses. He awakens to find his wounds un-healing and the world around him in a state of perpetual un-creation, where cause follows effect in a chilling, inverted ballet. Stranded and disoriented, Corvan discovers a civilization that has embraced this reversed existence, their lives dictated by the absolute foreknowledge of the Council, a governing body that maintains the Flow to protect humanity from a cosmic threat known as the Great Hunger. However, Corvan’s very linearity, his innate sense of forward-moving time, makes him an anomaly, a disruptive force that threatens the Council's rigid control. He finds unexpected allies in the form of Revessan dissidents, individuals who, like him, yearn for a future unwritten, for the freedom to choose, to create, and to experience genuine joy and sorrow. Together, they embark on a perilous quest to reach the Chronos Core, the heart of Revessa’s temporal paradox, seeking not to destroy it, but to recalibrate it, to forge a new equilibrium—a "layered Flow"—where existence is preserved, but choice is real, and the dawn of a true, unpredictable future can finally break over the Backward Sun.

    My whole life is one tangled lie. A horrible deception. All my past choices steered by the woman who hunts me without pause. 
    She’s powerful, vicious, and cruel, feared by the entire supernatural community. She’s also an immortal. Yeah, she can’t be killed—supposedly. Nothing like an insurmountable challenge, right? 
    I’ve trained for years to defeat any opponent, and this time, I have my mate Bruno, my sister, my pack, and a pair of strange mages at my side, ready to go down fighting with me. 
    My enemy might be invincible, but that won’t stop us from doing everything we can to take her down. Better to live in a world without her in it than to keep going when she’s controlled everything I’ve ever done. Either way, I’ll secure my freedom. 
    With nothing to lose, and everything to gain, I will find the way to kill her before she ends me. With magic, the impossible is never quite what it seems.

    Evie's requests in life are simple. She wants her stolen memories restored and for her Aunt Birdie to live up to her promise to train her in the mystical ways of magic. It might be nice, too, if no one died anytime soon. Unfortunately, that hope is dashed when the mayor turns up dead in his boat on beautiful Lake Skipper. At least he died from natural causes. Or did he? 
     
     
     
    When Birdie does agree to start her witchy lessons, Evie's beyond excited, but she soon discovers that magically sweeping floors isn't the dazzling spell she'd hoped for. Still, all witches have to start somewhere, right? 
     
     
     
    Evie would like to keep the town's handsome police chief Caden at arm's length, but he seems to be the only reliable link to her forgotten summer. And she's not the only one with man troubles. When Aunt Birdie ends with not one, but two suitors, Evie fears her aunt's involved in a kitty love triangle, and everyone knows those don't end well. 
     
     
     
    It's another exciting and unpredictable adventure for Evie. As she searches for who might have committed the murderous deed, she uncovers clues to her own mysterious past, and she discovers that the fiery magic burning in her veins might be more than she can handle.

    College freshman Riley Moore stumbles into a fantasy world that feels far too real to be just a dream, which kinda freaks him out. The strange talking rabbit doesn't help either. 
    His mission? 
    Find a way to wake up. Easy.  
    The problem? 
    It's rumored that if you die in Rivendrift, you die in the real world. 
    Can Riley wake up before he gets tarred, feathered, or stabbed? 
    Probably not. But he's going to have one heck of a time trying. 
    Will the author stop using generic click-bait questions and sub-par humor to entice readers? 
    Not on your life. 
    Best-selling author Christopher Hopper takes a siesta from space opera and military sci-fi to bring you this stand-alone progression fantasy novel that, yes, could possibly become a series if reader demand is there. It also might give you lock jaw and dysentery. You decide.
