Maya knew something was wrong… The stranger’s glowing hands were a big tipoff.

FALLING is a gripping paranormal adventure that combines all the foul-mouthed humor of the BLACK DAGGER BROTHERHOOD series with the action-packed, love/hate family dynamics of the CW show SUPERNATURAL.

When the stranger injects her with a DNA-altering serum, Maya prays for a savior. Instead, she gets a double helping of knight-in-not-so-shining-armor when two young men claiming to be her half-brothers pull off a belated rescue. Now Maya is swiftly transforming into an “angel,” one of the energy-sucking creatures her brothers have spent their whole lives trying to destroy.

Welcome to the Animal Kingdom – Where mystery and adventure roam free!
Twelve-year-old Acea Bishop was always the nerdy kid who would rather go to the library during recess to read about animals instead of playing basketball like the other boys. Now, after being kidnapped and waking up inside of an ancient magical kingdom strangely resembling a zoo, Acea is running from those same animals he used to love reading about.

Worse yet? Acea’s not just on a quest to get home – his mom and the dad-he-never-knew are both being held hostage inside by an evil sorcerer with a vendetta. Realizing that his odds of survival and freeing his parents are slim, Acea raises an army of animals to combat the sorcerer and regain control of a kingdom. But the kingdom holds secrets to Acea’s past and why he was brought there.

Acea has secrets. Big ones. He just doesn’t know it yet.
