Seventeen-year-old Kallum has life all planned out: pass his simulation test, snap up a job on the upper rung, and ask the girl of his dreams out. No more working at the bakery.
But life has a funny way of ruining plans.
Not only does he get reassigned to a hermit, but his hallucinations also make him fear that he’s turning into his worst nightmare: becoming one of the Crazies.
Worse still, the aetherium, an energy stone bestowed by the alien race called the Aeternas, is failing. And, according to the hermit, it’s all Kallum’s fault. Without the dome shield protecting Levitor, the Reavers and beasts roaming the land outside are bound to invade.
Levitor’s fate rests upon Kallum’s shoulders. He’s the only one who can seek out his father, who has the means to save the city. But the Aeternas are hunting him down, and he’s running out of time.
What will he sacrifice for the greater good?

Marlowe Spencer-Astor is a killer in crisis. It’s been 174 days since his last murder, and not even therapy—forced on him by his overbearing mother—can reignite his bloodlust. Then he finds Minnie: filthy, starving, and homeless. The perfect victim. His missing muse.

There’s just one problem—he can’t kill her.

Instead, he hires her as his maid, convincing himself he’s perfecting his plan. But the longer she stays, the stranger things become. Time stands still. Technology glitches. Every man is bewitched by her—including Marlowe himself.

He tells himself he hates her, but the truth is worse: he wants to protect her, claim her, kill for her. When an ancient god sets his sights on Minnie, Marlowe must choose—walk away and survive or fight for the woman he was never meant to love. Even if it means eternal damnation…

Ancient Japanese Warrior. Modern Day Celebrity. Just your average Joe… or so you’d think.

Picture this: I’m Jay Hagaki—actor, musician—the definition of living large in 2014. Fame? Check. Fortune? Double check. I had it all… until death came knocking, that is. One near-miss later, and suddenly I’m back to being just another face in the crowd. Adios, glitz and glam. Hello, mundane existence.

But hey, don’t let the facade fool you. My “normal” life? Far from it. Shadowy figures are on my tail, and there’s this woman haunting my dreams like a ghost with unfinished business. She’s under my skin, man, and I can’t shake her loose.

Oh, and did I mention the whole “flashbacks to my past life as a Japanese warrior in Ancient China” thing? Yeah, that’s happening. Talk about a mind-bender. But hey, maybe those memories hold the key to untangling this mess I call my life.
