DEADLY DANGER LURKS BENEATH THE SURFACE…When a portal trip home to visit Aubrey on a stormy Halloween night goes awry, Alastair Stone finds himself in a bizarre, alternate-reality version of his idyllic, wealthy adopted hometown, Encantada. Not that much is different, really—except nobody can leave, most of the population doesn’t seem to know or care, and terrifying monsters prowl the streets when the sun goes down. And if all that isn’t bad enough, this reality’s timeline is before Stone gained Calanarian magic—or immortality. If he and a ragtag group of unlikely allies can’t get to the bottom of the horrific secret afflicting Encantada and put an end to it quickly, Stone might be stuck in this reality forever— —or at least until the food runs out or the monsters devour them all first. Prepare to lose yourself in this #1 Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series readers are calling “Unstoppable” and “A major winner!” Once you enter the world of Alastair Stone, you won’t want to leave. “An occult studies professor and a powerful mage—Alastair Stone is an Indiana Jones for urban fantasy readers.

Author
R. L. King is the author of the Amazon-bestselling urban fantasy series The Alastair Stone Chronicles. When not doing her best to make life difficult for her characters, she works as a software technical writer for a large Silicon Valley database company. She also freelances for Catalyst Game Labs, publisher of the popular roleplaying game Shadowrun, where she's contributed fiction and game material to numerous sourcebooks and one full-length adventure, "On the Run," which was included as part of the 2012 Origins-Award-winning "Runners' Toolkit." Her first novel in the Shadowrun universe, "Borrowed Time," was published in Spring 2015. She's working on her second Shadowrun novel, "Veiled Extraction," which will be released in late 2016 or early 2017. When not writing or working, she enjoys hanging out with her very understanding spouse and her small herd of cats, and watching way too much Doctor Who.
