Teenage angst meets dark fantasy in this fast-paced urban fantasy debut.

Ivan is afraid he’s going mad. Because the alternative is worse.

Ivan has just learned the truth: his sleepy hometown is home to a Viking death cult, intent on raising a terrifying power. By saving his friend’s life, he’s just made himself number one on their target list.

To win this fight, Ivan will have to do what he fears most: reach deep into the darkness inside. Because in this story…the monster in the dark might be his only hope of survival.

Dive deep into the world of River of Night: where hidden monsters dwell in the shadows, friend and foe look the same by day, and danger lies in wait for the unwary.

The opening book in an urban fantasy series perfect for fans of Holly Black and Stranger Things.

“I’m still reading this instead of sleeping. It’s almost 3am, so it certainly has caught my attention.”

Gen-X computer hacker Toby is a classic American: impulsive, irreverent, intelligent, and inventive. And, after a silly accident in 2008, he can add “inanimate” to the list—because Toby is dead.

But only for a while. Eighty years later, medical science has advanced enough to bring Toby back to life.

Welcome to Southern California, 2088. The skies are clean, but the rich-poor social gulf has widened. The biggest industries are entertainment and the prison system. Taxes have been cut — because the main source of government revenue is the confiscation of property. Many new, designer recreational drugs are legal, and many other drugs are mandatory. And while the US leads the world in cosmetic surgery, in most technologies America lags far behind…

America has changed. Toby hasn’t. And in the collision between America 2008 and America 2088, Toby brings the system to its knees.

But when Delaney takes on a case to find the missing Jay Sutherland — a 20-something playboy with a rap sheet and a penchant for beating women — Del realizes this case is much more than it seems.

With the help of her father, who’s suffering from Alzheimer’s, in a nursing home, Del discovers that the truth behind Jay’s disappearance is linked to a group called The Night Society. But they’re no ordinary villains. Anika, Jay’s girlfriend, is the only person who may know his whereabouts, but she harbors a dark secret that could pit Del against an enemy she hasn’t seen since her childhood.
