  Quincy Harker needs a vacation, but there's no peace to be found in the usually sleepy seaside resort of North Carolina's Outer Banks. No, there's a serial killer stalking the streets of Manteo, and there's even more to the crimes than usual. Add in a heavily warded cemetery with hints of magic long thought to have vanished from the earth, a mystery centuries in the making, and a string of horrifyingly realistic nightmares plaguing Rebecca Flynn, Harker's fiancée, and our boy isn't getting any rest or relaxation. But he is getting the one thing he's really, really good at handling—a fight. 
   
   
   
  Quincy Harker investigates modern murders and the oldest mystery in United States history all at the same time as he tried to figure out who's killing tourists in Manteo while also investigating the truth behind the Lost Colony in Lost, the ninth book in the Quincy Harker, Demon Hunter series of award-winning dark urban fantasy novels.

  GALA GLADKOV'S EXQUISITE PROCESS: When I heard the knock at the door on that Friday afternoon in early December I was in my workshop at the back of the house. I was carving some panels that were to form the backs of a set of chairs and the last thing I wanted was an interruption.

  Slave of Eternity by Roger D. Aycock - An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth ... these were the familiar laws of man—Far more fiendish was Heric's punishment—eternal life for the death he'd taken! 
  "You have no choice," the patrolman said. "The Council sends for you." 
  He moved across the veranda of Heric's cottage, bulking dark against the sky-glow of Nyark the first city. On the slope of lawn below stood his copter, its beetle-black shell glistening faintly in the starshine. 
  Heric stood rigid with alarm in his doorway, still holding the book he had been reading. The night-wind ruffling his hair and the homely sounds from the kitchen where Marta prepared their evening meal made his danger doubly fantastic. 
  "They've found out somehow about my dreams," Heric said. "They'll put me through the adjuster and I'll come out of it—someone else. I won't go!" 
  He was a mild man, overseer of the cereal grain fields outside Nyark the first city, holding the confidence of his superiors and the respect of his workers. He and Marta had been happy in the quiet eddy of their isolation, until the dreams came. 
  The patrolman took a gleaming silver shock-cone from his belt. "I am sorry, Arnol Heric. You must come with me." 
  Stark panic made Heric drop his book and strike out wildly, smashing a fist into the officer's face. The patrolman staggered back, teetered for balance on the veranda's edge and fell heavily. The sound of his head striking the stone walkway below was as definite as the thud of a dropped melon. 
  Heric went down the steps and knelt to feel the man's limp wrist. There was no pulse. He put an ear to the slack lips, and there was no breath. Shock numbed him and drove his thoughts into strange, tortured channels. 
  "I've killed him," he said.

  Mairynne has loved, lost, and found. And now. . . she returns. 
  Nantai is no longer as Mairynne remembers. Her journey to find her father took too long. The City by the Sea is no more than ash, and there is only one explanation: dragon fire. 
  In Ise, Mairynne fulfilled her destiny and accepted a companion from the Fey Queen. Now, the great pearlescent dragon is now bound to her soul. Although her dragon is innocent, what will returning mean for them? And if another dragon is burning cities, will putting her father back upon the Serpentine Throne be enough? 
  As she retraces her steps, she sees Nantai from a new perspective. Friends become enemies and enemies become friends, and she no longer has the strongest person she’s ever known to rely upon. Her father at her side reassures her, but she also fears his judgment when he learns of her dragon. 
  How will she handle the new state of her beloved country?

  The Scottish Relic Trilogy: Book Three
   Miranda MacDonnell is on the run. When she inherited a mysterious relic from her mother, she had no idea of the dangers it would bring. Now, hunted by a relentless foe who will stop at nothing to find her, she has one choice: stow away on the ship of the notorious privateer, Black Hawk.
  Rob Hawkins, the privateer known as Black Hawk, has a mission from the Tudor king to find and kill the rogue commander, Sir Ralph Evers. To complete his quest, Hawk must find Miranda, a young woman Evers is pursuing. Caught in a tempest, he is shipwrecked with a lad who demonstrates an uncanny ability for saving him. Cast away on the mysterious Isle of the Dead in the Outer Hebrides, Hawk realizes that the 'lad' traveling with him is actually Miranda MacDonnell, and having her means that Evers will come to him. What begins as a ploy—using her as bait—soon changes, however, as feelings begin to emerge between them.
  Ancient forces are at work, drawing all four possessors of the relic's power to the Isle of the Dead for a final battle where good must overcome the forces of evil in this spectacular climax to the Scottish Relic Trilogy.
