Summary

One rainy night, everyone in the United States and Canada heard the booms of bombs going off.
 
The next day, houses and buildings lay in ruins, leaving paths of dead people. A great number of the survivors fled to the woods.
 
The people split off and formed camps, with each camp choosing a special name. Everyone began scavenging for food and water in stores that hadn't been demolished.
 
Meanwhile, soldiers from another country were holding the President of the United States captive. The survivors knew they needed to do something to rescue the President, but the question remained, would they be able to bring him back in one piece?

As a lifelong resident of Calhoun, Georgia, I raised my two sons here and have always been passionate about reading any book I can get my hands on. When my sons were young, I often made up stories to tell them at bedtime.

    The launch of a gripping new supernatural terror trilogy by the acclaimed author of Coldbrook, The Silence, and the Alien-Predator Rage War trilogy 
There’s an underground black market for arcane things. Akin to the trade in rhino horns or tiger bones, this network traffics in remains of gryphons, faeries, goblins, and other fantastic creatures. 
When her fiancé Vince goes missing, Angela Gough, an American criminology student, discovers he was a part of this secretive trade. It’s a big-money business—shadowy, brutal, and sometimes fatal. As the trail leads her deeper into London’s dark side, she crosses paths with a crime lord whose life is dedicated to collecting such relics. 
Then Angela discovers that some of these objects aren’t as ancient as they seem. Some of them are fresh.

    There is something about the number 3.    
 
The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
 
Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
 
Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating. 
 
From their pens to your your ears.
