The Hidden Cities: A Urban #Fantasy #Thriller Series by Christopher Golden & Tim Lebbon



Mind the Gap
The Hidden Cities Book 1

by Christopher Golden & Tim Lebbon

Genre: Dark Urban Fantasy Thriller



"The super-fast pacing and creepy touches give this teen adventure plenty
of character." —Publishers Weekly

Returning to her home in London, teen Jasmine Towne realizes just how long
she’s been training for the moment she would be on her own. Her
paranoid mother’s last words, scrawled in her own blood, demand her
action: JAZZ HIDE FOREVER. In this moment, the strange men who have
always hung around her family’s life—whom her mother called the
Uncles—become starkly sinister. And they’re on her trail.

Seeking cover in the Underground, Jazz slips through a mysterious gate, down
tunnels, and seemingly through time. Inside an abandoned city of bomb
shelters and forgotten Tube stations, she finds temporary refuge with
a gang of petty thieves. Flashes of the past, spectral and haunting,
share the tunnels…with no regard for the living. For how long can
Jazz hide from the terrors of both her worlds?

The Map of Moments
The Hidden Cities Book 2



To what lengths would you go to undo the pain of the past? 


"Golden and Lebbon have far outstripped their past efforts with this
wonderfully creepy thriller of a ghost story." —Publishers
Weekly starred review

"Golden and Lebbon vividly evoke the rich, enduring character of New Orleans,
as well as spinning a compelling fantasy yarn that builds momentum as
Max works his way through the city's history." —Booklist

Max Corbett has returned to New Orleans for the funeral of his former
girlfriend, Gabrielle Doucette, but between the destruction wrought
by Hurricane Katrina and the devastation of his ruined relationship,
the city feels alien.

At Gabrielle's graveside, Max meets Ray. Over a bottle of bourbon in a
dive bar, the two discuss Gabrielle's unique connection to the city.
Ray suggests that this connection might mean her tragic death is not
truly her end. And he happens to know a real magic practitioner—not
some Bourbon Street phony—who could open a window to the past and
send a warning to Gabrielle. Maybe Max can even deliver the warning
in person? Ray offers him a cheap map and says the process is simple.
Follow the charted moments to build up a little bit of magical clout
and then find the man with the gift. 

Surging with liquid courage, Max takes the ludicrous tourist map and sets
off. But it turns out this quest is not so easy. When Max enters the
First Moment, he is drawn into the fabric of history to witness dark
and violent periods, and with each passing step, a grim conspiracy is
revealed. Suddenly in too deep, there is nowhere for Max to go but
through. But when you trudge through a swamp, you're going to get muddy.

The Chamber of Ten
The Hidden Cities Book 3




Archaeologist Dr. Geena Hodge is on the precipice of success: her team has found an
entrance to an underground chamber while searching for the Petrarch’s
lost library. A documentarian is joining her team for the descent
into the long-hidden structure and may be the key to extensive
funding. Best of all, she is able to share the excitement of this
momentous occasion with her assistant-slash-lover, Nico, whose
psychic presence resonates in her own mind.

Within a strikingly preserved room—unlike any Venetian excavation—the
team finds only one artifact: a small vessel that immediately
mesmerizes Nico. While the team investigates a slab of granite inlaid
in the floor, Nico becomes transfixed by the object, and before he
can be stopped, he has the urn in his hands. Then, it is broken open
on the ground. And with that, the impossibly withheld groundwater
begins to fill the chamber…

In the clamor to escape the rapidly flooding room and save the found
texts, the team is sent in all directions. And Nico’s mind, always
attuned to Geena’s, seems to go quiet. His actions in the days
after the incident feel unlike him, and his consciousness seems to
dissolve beneath the weight of his experience with the artifact. What
insidious force was within? And what can satisfy its restless will?

The Shadow Men
The Hidden Cities Book 4




From Beacon Hill to Southie, historic Boston is a town of vibrant
neighborhoods knit into a seamless whole. But as Jim Banks and Trix
Newcomb learn in a terrifying instant, it is also a city
divided—split into three separate versions of itself by a mad
magician once tasked with its protection.

Jim is happily married to Jenny, with whom he has a young daughter,
Holly. Trix is Jenny’s best friend, practically a member of the
family—although she has secretly been in love with Jenny for years.
Then Jenny and Holly inexplicably disappear—and leave behind a
Boston in which they never existed. Only Jim and Trix remember them.
Only Jim and Trix can bring them back.

With the help of Boston’s Oracle, an elderly woman with magical powers,
Jim and Trix travel between the fractured cities, for that is where
Jenny and Holly have gone. But more is at stake than one family’s
happiness. If Jim and Trix should fail, the spell holding the
separate Bostons apart will fail too, and the cities will reintegrate
in a cataclysmic implosion. Someone, it seems, wants just that.
Someone with deadly shadow men at their disposal.

Of Light and Darke: An Epic #Fantasy #Series by M.L. Ruscsak



The New Reign
Of Light and Darke Book 1

by M.L. Ruscsak

Genre: Epic Fantasy


Read It before you see It. Coming soon to Cinema!!!

Eighteen years ago, Princess Nisha became an orphan just days after her birth.
Her parents and all of those with Fey blood are all gone - consumed
by a fire that none had been able to stop. Or at least this is what
is told, this is what is spoken aloud. Truth? Perhaps. 

But these are words Nisha has never trusted, couldn't trust since they
have never sounded quite right. Yet, not even her beloved aunt ever
believed her when she questioned the events of that night.

No one believed her when she had turned thirteen and she became the
queen of the Under Kingdom. They didn't trust her when her powers and
natural abilities began to grow to frightening results. That was fine
if they didn't want to believe her then - once she was home and
crowned Queen of Darke, then she would show them. Once she was Queen
then she would find every answer that she had ever wanted.

It wouldn't matter who or what stood in her way, for she would show them
why she should be feared. She would show them what was created when
her parents were stolen from her.

For she is Nisha and she is the daughter of the darkness.

The Fallen
Of Lite and Darke Book 2



Read It before you see It. Coming soon to Cinema!!!

You know what has come to be but do you know where it began?

Before Nisha. Before Adrianna. Before the countries even had names, there
were the Star Cities. Ruled each in their own way... all answering to one.

Primitiva was born the second daughter of the royal house
of Lunaista. She was born for greatness. Born to be the first as her
name suggested. If she stayed on her safe little star she would
either die without ever knowing her true potential or be forced into
marriage. Neither appealed to her.

A vision told her the
truth. Death would come for her if she stayed. Leaving her only child
under the cover of darkness she did the unthinkable and dove into the
abyss. Somewhere out here was her destiny. Somewhere she would find a
way to help her sister survive.

Somehow the child that she saw
in her vision would be born. That child would one day rule both
Pallas and unify the Star Cities. She just had to make sure the
bloodlines for that that birth would come forth- even if it meant
turning her back on all that she had ever known.

The Dream of the Forest: A #SciFi #Romance by Stjepan Varesevac Cobets



The Dream of the Forest 

by Stjepan Varesevac Cobets

Genre: SciFi Romance Adventure


The year is 2197. More than one hundred years have passed since the
natural destruction of the Earth's surface. The surviving inhabitants
are now living in Heavenly Cities high above the clouds with no
intention of ever descending back to the unstable surface again.

Helen is a lawyer who lives in one of those cities. Her life is almost
perfect, but very soon she is going to find out that it was all just
an illusion as her dreams scatter like leaves in the wind and the
only thing left for her to return to will be her hometown. 

But on her way home, an almost fatal car accident on the heavenly highway
turns her life in a drastically new direction. Helen finds herself
crashing down onto the earth's destructive surface and landing in a
forest world that is completely alien to her with a million and one
questions and very few answers. 

The number 1 question being - is it really true what the government told
her and the surviving population that no one ever survived down on
Earth? Well, what if the truth was the complete opposite? What if
there really were survivors?
