With the hope for a feral cure now lost—due to the death of Dr. Jack Tanner—Major Rathbone, Salvatore, and Rebecka Hayes set off for the werecat and human safehold in the Olympic Mountains.

And this hatred will set Drakis and his rebel army on a path that may not only bring down the emperor, but Drakis and his entire world as well.... Views: 22

99p OFFER ENDS DECEMBER 10th The second coming is nigh . . . it just happens to be coming at rather an inconvenient time. It's been an eventful month for the village of Little Collyweston: Reverend Andy Biddle, still trying to regain his dignity following an ill-advised omelette analogy during a sermon, teeters on the brink of scandal.

Who would believe that the almighty would choose their unremarkable village for the second coming? But he has, and it looks like his arrival could clash terribly with the annual parish entertainment. Funny, touching and... Views: 22
