When a hungry ghoul uncovered a cache of treasure hidden beneath Lost Falls, he thought all his problems were behind him.

When he realized how wrong he was, he came to me for help.

As Lost Falls’ resident folk wizard, breaking curses is my specialty. But the ghoul and his treasure hunting friends found more than cursed gold down there in the dark.

They unleashed something old. Something alive. Something better left buried.

And if I can’t send it back where it came from, the treasure hunters won’t be the only ones paying the ultimate price.

This isn’t your grandma’s King Arthur story.

Nate Arturi isn’t a knight in shining armor. He sure as hell isn’t a king. And the last time someone called him heroic, it was because he fetched his neighbor’s corgi off the roof.

But when an ancient alien beacon awakens on Earth, the Merlin is left with little choice. Any Knight in a Doomsday, or so the saying goes.

Now, ambushed and tricked into accepting a foul-mouthed Excalibur from a homeless wizard, Nate can’t help but feel his senior year at Penn State has gotten a little out of hand. But when an armada of butt-ugly troglodans and exotic gorgon killers starts raining from the sky, one thing becomes inescapably clear:

Unless he mans up and gets that damned beacon off of his planet, everything he knows is about to be burned to a crisp…

Draw your space sword, grab The Eighth Excalibur, and prepare for adventure today!

Archaeologist Leah Andrews stumbles upon something inexplicable in southwestern New Mexico: inside a dark cavern lies an undiscovered, Native American cliff dwelling abandoned for 800 years. While twisting through one of the narrow underground passageways, Leah’s flashlight illuminates the remains of a violent massacre.

Ancient human remains—all slaughtered in a long-ago massacre—cover the cavern floor, along with a number of brilliantly colored, granite crystals. The rare crystals are native to only one place on earth: a frozen mountain range in central Antarctica.

Could Native Americans have traveled to the frozen continent of Antarctica 800 years prior to the first known human exploration? If so how? And why?
