  Valdaur's golden age under the Marthalen Kings is a fading memory, brought to an end by the tyrannical sorcercer, Bathlemar. His reign was ended by an alliance of wizards of the High Council and the noble houses, but after over a century, it seems his corruption still lingers over the kingdom. With Valdaur now ruled by an aged and weakening king, and with a sickly prince due to inherit the throne, a sense of both desperation and opportunity raises the specter of civil war. 
  Born into these troubling times, orphaned in boyhood, Donan faces a miserable death starving in the streets of Solium, or rotting chained to the wall in King's Prison. He is saved from this fate when he is taken in as an apprentice to the Order of the Black Falcon, a guild of spies and assassins in service to the Crown. Exceptionally skilled, Donan comes to embrace his life in the shadows to become a protector of the throne. 
  His world falls apart, however, when he becomes the target of an assassination attempt by the very man who saved him from the streets. Having discovered a conspiracy implicating his own guild, Donan is framed as a traitor and hunted by his own brethren. Determined to expose the real traitor, he must find a way to survive long enough to gather the needed proof. 
  Hunted and alone, Donan's time is running out, until a surprise visit by the last remaining outlawed wizard of the disbanded High Council gives Donan one last, desperate chance to outmaneuver those trying to kill him.

  Title: The Sphinx 
  Author: Edgar Allan Poe 
  Narrator: Jonathan Dunne 
  Original Publication: 1846 
  Public Domain: Yes 
  Series Placement: Timeless Terrors No. 75 
  Description: 
  The Sphinx is one of Edgar Allan Poe’s lesser-known yet profoundly unsettling tales — a dark meditation on memory, identity, and the uncanny persistence of the past. Poe crafts a story of a man confronted with a mysterious sphinx-like figure, whose cryptic riddles and ominous presence provoke both fascination and dread. 
  Rather than relying on overt horror, Poe’s tale explores a psychological tension, blurring the line between reality and imagination. The sphinx becomes a symbol of enigma and inevitable truth, forcing the protagonist — and the reader — to confront hidden fears, obscure knowledge, and the haunting persistence of time. The story’s subtle terror lies in its atmosphere: a precise interplay of shadow, silence, and the inexorable pull of an unknowable intellect. 
  Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance imbues Poe’s prose with a hypnotic cadence, heightening the story’s mysterious and claustrophobic ambiance while preserving its elegant, cerebral horror. 
  Part of Timeless Terrors, a series dedicated to resurrecting classic horror, The Sphinx exemplifies Poe’s mastery of psychological unease — a reminder that some of the most enduring horrors come not from monsters, but from enigmas that defy understanding.

Chelby's foster father is a retired general who is running for Senate, so joining the army is the natural direction for her to take when she turns eighteen.

  Warned to run before she is taken by Sector Nine, Chelby flees the MEPS. Her panic leads her to an encounter with Dr. Gould, who gives her his card and tells her that the Paranormal Mercenary Corps can help her. Chelby finds it hard to believe any of this is happening until she returns home and armed men from the mysterious Sector Nine show up to take her away. On the run for her life, Chelby calls Dr. Gould as a last resort. 
   
   
   
  The Director of the Paranormal Military Corps takes her to their headquarters in the Colorado Mountains, where she meets other supernaturals and learns about the Fae powers that were suppressed when she was young.

Can she master her new powers and break free of Sector Nine's grasp before it's too late?
