Obsidian Son

2012

Alternative cover editions for this ASIN can be found here, here & here. To do list: Cow-tip the Minotaur. Cure a reptile dysfunction. My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules…I’m just not very good at the application. Because rules were meant to be broken. Especially when I find out a monster just murdered my parents. Now all I can hear is the sweet, soothing song of vengeance in my ears, playing on repeat. But when shifter dragons come to town, I’m forced to step away from hunting down the scumbag murderer. Because I know the cure for a reptile dysfunction, and the dragons aren’t going to like it. This fight soon opens up Pandora’s Box, and suddenly every flavor of supernatural thug is after me. The only way out of it—to save my city—is to murder my best friend. I didn’t want, ask for, or start any of this. But I will finish it. It’s time I show St. Louis that magic is very, very real. And that an angry wizard is truly something to see—at least once in your life. You know, right before he puts you and everyone you've ever met in the grave...

It’s Mardi Gras in St. Louis, but Nate Temple – plagued with horrifying night terrors of carnage and chaos that could qualify him as a card carrying psychopathic insomniac – is not celebrating. Instead, he’s been using those sleepless nights to try and get a grip on his sudden boost in magical power, the power that surged inside him following his parents’ murder – the power that abruptly made him the strongest wizard for hundreds of miles. And that jump in power has only created a glaring void of jealousy in his wizard brethren, painting a nice fat target on his back. Still, desperate for answers regarding his parents’ murder – and the mysterious Pandora Protocol project they had gifted him – he finds himself risking everything to dish out vengeance against the monster that destroyed his family. But will he succeed when the ruling body of wizards strips him of his powers, his allies desert him, the city itself fights to shut him and his billion dollar company down, and the heaviest of the Biblical big hitters threaten him to cease and desist his investigation before his Blood Debt ignites Armageddon? Nate soon realizes that he’s in the fog of war against a foe that has been playing chess while Nate has been playing checkers, and every supernatural nation is fighting to get their grubby claws on the mysterious Pandora Protocol.Backed against a wall, it’s time for Nate Temple to realize who he is without his magic, his allies, or his money. And at the end of that road, only Death is waiting to greet him…

An alternative cover edition for this ASIN can be found here. Assassination contracts don’t make good wedding proposals. Sharing a beer with Death—one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse—really put a few things into perspective for this foul-mouthed, billionaire wizard. Like finally getting the stones to propose to his girlfriend. But the Brothers Grimm—legendary supernatural assassins—have escaped their prison, and the number one thing they want after their centuries-long incarceration is Nate Temple’s head. With the entire wedding party also on their hit-list and the Temple family fortune in jeopardy, Nate realizes they can’t run and they can’t hide. So, time to do magic and stuff… But with every flavor of supernatural thug teaming up to help the Grimms, Nate learns that friends have become enemies and enemies have become friends, and he’s forced to cross lines that are better left uncrossed. To use some magic that he really, really shouldn’t use. When magic, claws, and teeth dance to the song of war, the only thing left to learn is who lives and who dies. And if Nate can live with the consequences. No wonder a guy is terrified to propose… If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F.

I’m kind of a big deal.

Some might say sending two senior citizens to a permanent retirement home should be a breeze. It ain't. Because that's not my biggest concern. One of my friends is in danger, or possibly dying, and I need to get her back before her fiancE kills me. But finding her introduces me to new worlds of pain. The biggest of these being my own past - which has been a blatant lie - and a parting gift from my parents - which might have just been the coin toss for the Apocalypse Olympics. I'm beginning to realize that none of the old Gods, Legends, or Monsters have been idle the last few centuries. They've been waiting, picking sides, and scheming schemes. Of course, maybe one of those two old dudes will punch my ticket and save me the headache. A wizard can Hope, right? Because either way, I'm about to have a very bad series of days...

\\\OVER ONE MILLION READERS HAVE BEEN PLEASURED BY THE TEMPLE VERSE NOVELS. NOW IT’S YOUR TURN…\\\ Fae are missing all over Boston, and apparently, no one else is suicidal enough to look into it. Good thing Quinn MacKenna—black magic arms dealer and Fae half-breed—has been searching for a way to earn back some of Boston’s goodwill after almost destroying the city…twice. Besides, favors for the Fae usually pay dividends if you play your cards right… As long as the Fae don’t double-cross or otherwise backstab you. But that hardly ever happens… Thankfully, Quinn has Robin Redcap to back her up—between his skill at navigating Fae politics and his penchant for extreme, brutal violence, it’s a match made in Heaven. Or Hell. But the only evidence they have to go on is a crime scene laden with ritualistic ingredients and blood—lots and lots of blood—leading Quinn to suspect witchcraft. Except the witches are a tight-knit community who don’t appreciate Quinn’s intrusion—even when all she wants to do is help. Simply put, what happens in the coven stays in the coven. The situation grows murkier and deadlier by the minute as Quinn finds herself cauldron-deep in a swirl of betrayal, conspiracy, and vengeance. Especially when she discovers who is really stirring the pot, and that it might all stem from an unfulfilled promise made by a certain trigger-happy redhead regarding a certain magic-slinging wizard in St. Louis. And the Fae put pretty big stock in promises and agreements. Double, double, toil and trouble… This little oath-breaker is in big, big trouble. Quinn is the newest antihero in the Worldwide Bestselling Temple-Verse by Shayne Silvers.

Legend

2018

NATE TEMPLE HAS HOLES IN HIS SOUL, BOTH IMAGINED AND REAL… And the only way to patch his soul back together is to go back to where it all began. To where he began. To where a Manling was born… To a dangerous boy named Wylde. Because to have any hope at standing against Mordred—to save Camelot and St. Louis alike—he must learn what it means to be a Catalyst. A little boy must know his legend—his origin. And he must learn the painful truth that his entire life has been meticulously planned and laid out like the steps to a choreographed dance. And that Mordred is just another dance card in a long line of future suitors at the Temple Ball. If Nate can survive the dance, that is… Let’s discover what dangers a little boy can get into when his imagination is more real than reality itself… When the powers of life and death can be heard in the absent humming of a little boy playing in the woods with his cat… Because behind every Song is a Mask waiting to be born. Or destroyed…

Salty Dog

2019

Abductions rarely go as planned…but this is just ridiculous. Torn from the Faeling Games on the beaches of Scotland, Quinn MacKenna suddenly finds herself doggie-paddling in a turbulent sea of blood with no land in sight. And that’s the highlight of her day so far, because her abductors seem perfectly content to simply leave her in this strange Otherworld. Quinn must fight tooth and nail to unearth answers about herself and her place in the worlds of both Man and Fae…even if that means losing herself, first. Luckily, it seems teeth and nails are all the rage as Quinn teams up with an unlikely guide as a god’s consolation prize. Unfortunately, it turns out man’s best friend can be one damn salty dog. Debts come due and masks are torn away, and Quinn learns that nothing and no one is as they seemed. That her entire life has been a setup for a much more nefarious game. And the only way to even have a chance at winning is to fetch those broken remnants of her soul. It’s a dog eat dog world out there… And this black magic arms dealer likes to bite—when the mood is right.

2019

What good is a man when he’s lost his soul? Callie Penrose returns home to find a year has passed, and that everyone believes her long dead. Roland Haviar, once her mentor and now a Master Vampire, has become a bloodthirsty tyrant, fulfilling his vow to bathe the City of Fountains in blood until he avenges her death. And the Vatican Shepherds, once his brothers, stand in his way. In his quest for closure, Roland surrounds the city in a magical barrier that blocks all methods of escape—or help—giving him time to seek out an ancient artifact powerful enough to put an end to everyone and everything once and for all… In honor of Callie Penrose. But when Callie is mysteriously cursed to appear as a demon, she finds herself hunted by the very people she wants to protect. Her only hope is to forge new alliances—make deals with devils—to stop the man she once loved as a father. And all the while, the devil laughs in delight, naming Callie friend as he waits with bated breath for the world to end…

Slaughter is the best medicine. Callie Penrose is back to murder vampires and chew bubblegum. And she’s all out of bubblegum. Callie has had a rough few days. Five minutes after discovering she had a Godfather, she learned that the future of the world depended on the two of them taking an immediate road trip. To Castle Dracula—a place even the supernatural community believed to be an urban myth, dead and abandoned long ago when Dracula had perished at the hands of Van Helsing, Mina, and Jonathan Harker. Except…Dracula and his castle were alive and well. Worse, he had been secretly running the Sanguine Council—the governmental body of every vampire in the world—ever since his alleged death, with none the wiser. Not even the vampires. And Callie’s first Godfather-daughter dance was to go assassinate the Sultan of Suck once and for all. But she soon learns that Dracula is the absolute least of her concerns. And that some bonds should never be forged. Because once made, they can never be broken… Callie Penrose is about to show the world fear in a palmful of blood.

Knightmare

2019

Nate Temple must die. Mordred—the bastard son of King Arthur—has returned, and he will stop at nothing to utterly destroy everything his father ever created—burning the Arthurian Legend from the history books for good. He’s already defeated Nate Temple once, corrupting the fabled Knights of the Round Table into darker, nigh-invincible, merciless, killing machines—Knightmares. And once Camelot is nothing more than a pile of fiery rubble, Mordred plans to conquer St. Louis—after slaughtering Nate and everyone he’s ever cared about, of course. But a vengeful god is also hunting Nate, and starts attacking his friends to draw him out. When one of Nate’s best friends is gravely wounded, Nate is forced to make an impossible choice—save his city from Mordred or save his friend from a blood-crazed god. Both foes carry enough daddy issues to grant a first-year psychologist a second-year retirement. But Nate’s not that stable either, and if he can’t get a grip on his own demons, his victory might very well be worse than anything either of his enemies ever could have imagined. The only option left is to shatter all the rules, opening himself up to deadly powers better left untouched and forgotten—and even that is a fool’s gambit, a whisper of a hope. Then again, if we don’t have hope, we’ve already lost. So, it’s time for Nate Temple to roll the dice. Because in this game, even Hope can die...

Ascension

2019

The Godkiller will rise. Despite his recent victories, Nate Temple’s problems are only just beginning. Although it had been necessary, killing the most infamous of the Norse gods has consequences, and no one knows petty vengeance like the Aesir. Especially with Odin’s legendary spear mysteriously missing. But Nate has more important things to worry about than a pantheon of angry gods. Because the God of Mischief has been freed from his imprisonment, and so has his monstrosity of a son—a creature prophesied to play a major role in Ragnarok. With Loki’s masterful abilities at illusion and deception, any of Nate’s acquaintances could be Loki in disguise, so he’s forced to play things close to the chest, retreating away from those he trusts the most. But with gangs of expert assassins relentlessly hunting Nate for the largest contract fee ever known, the police and FBI starting to take a closer look at Nate Temple and his alleged crimes, his best friend’s kids born with bizarre abilities, and his new Horsemen desperately needing their leader to begin training them for the Omega War… Now is a terrible time to be alone. And an even worse time for his people to be without their leader. Especially when Nate knows his old enemies were actually just the henchmen and that the real masters are still lurking in the shadows—likely even posing as his allies. The blades of betrayal strike swifter than the first kiss of new love, and the fate of the world is riding on one man’s shoulders… The Catalyst walks the world. And no one seems to know exactly what that really means. Except that it’s going to change the future of existence for everyone. For better or for worse. Because Nate Temple has changed the rules—the most hated, feared, and respected beings in human history are no longer safe in St. Louis. Even gods can die...

Sea Breeze

2019

Remember when dead in the water was just an expression? Not anymore. Fresh from her unplanned stay in the Otherworld, Quinn MacKenna is forced to wait in Fae’s worst Air BnB—a grotesque gingerbread house in a forest full of breadcrumbs—for the captain who will guide her ship to the fabled Atlantis. But just as idle hands are the Devil’s workshop, idle minds are the Titans’ torture chamber. The last thing Quinn needs to do is climb down the rabbit hole of her own fears and self-doubts to confront her inner Beasts. She has enough on her mind as she struggles to rediscover her identity and frets over the whereabouts of an old friend bent on vengeance and mayhem. An old friend she may have to put in the grave, whether she wants to or not. Before she can worry about any of that, Quinn will first have to heal old wounds, enlist the aid of allies old and new, and somehow survive the turbulent tides of fate. Unfortunately, in order to stay afloat, she’ll have to sail into yet another unfamiliar world, a realm of monsters and men and gods so old they are known only as Titans. It’s all hands on deck—monsters, sea-dogs, and scallywags—as Quinn strives to save who can be saved and beat those who must be beaten. With new powers at her disposal and an ill-matched crew to manage, it will be up to her to navigate these troubled waters. Odysseus may as well have taken a leisure cruise back from Troy compared to Quinn’s fatally fateful voyage. Quinn will have to bring enough rum to get a Cyclops drunk. Or die trying. Because it’s awfully hard to steer when gods are rocking the boat. And the world desperately needs her to come back home.

Hurricane

2020

What’s a goddess to do? After being lost at sea and taken prisoner by yet another denizen of the Titan realm, Quinn finds herself cold, wet, miserable, and very much alone. Until a familiar and unexpected face steps back into her life to remind her who she is—and has always—been: a fighter. Following this revelation, Quinn can only acknowledge that some journeys require circuitous routes, even if that means attaining her freedom and rushing—not to the rescue of her besieged allies—but to the mythical island of Aeaea, home to the infamous witch, Circe, where Quinn will be confronted with cryptic visions of the present and a brutal choice: to sacrifice everything she is on the altar of what she could become, or to continue stumbling around in the dark. No matter her decision, Quinn knows she must see order restored to the Eighth Sea if she hopes to save her friends and allies. But at what price? The answer to that could cost Quinn her very humanity and will reveal stark truths about her role in the war to come. A war her father predicted and, apparently, prepared for. A war which has already begun to claim the lives of those she cares about and will likely claim many more before all is said and done. But, before she can worry about any of that, Quinn must go to battle against her old friend and nemesis, rescue her besieged friends, and honor her end of a lopsided bargain—a task which will pit Quinn against her wildest nightmares and her darkest dreams with just one person at her side...a certain mouthy wizard from St. Louis—Nate Temple. The waters get even murkier as Quinn gets caught in a current that draws her closer and closer to the secrets which surround Atlantis, to the gates of the Underworld and the lost souls which lie beyond, and to the mysterious figure of her father, a wizard so powerful he defied time itself.Some people like to say that when it rains, it pours. But then they must never have met Quinn MacKenna...because in her case it’s always hurricane season.

Brimstone Kiss

2020

No one told Quinn there was a cover charge to enter Hell - or that Valhalla didn't allow bar tabs. Thanks to a witchy homebrew, Quinn MacKenna—part-time goddess, full-time troublemaker—has slipped past death’s door to rekindle an old flame and snuff out an old friend. But in order to do that, Quinn will need allies, be they an alcoholic ferryman, a deadly Horseman, or some of the most feared and respected gods this side of the afterlife. In a do or die effort to track down her old nemesis, Quinn must first expose dark truths, strike a bargain with Hades himself, and journey to a realm fraught with bloodshed and brimming with booze. The sort of place only a warrior could love—or a scrappy redhead from Boston. Quinn quickly becomes immersed in all manner of schemes and intrigues that threaten to distract her from her goals - like starting a bar fight in Valhalla, or flying with the Valkyries, or surviving the mists of Niflheim with the power of a stolen kiss. Quinn’s devil may care attitude will lead her down a brimstone path paved with good intentions, reminding her that, sometimes, you have to be willing to lose everything if you want to find anything. Especially if that thing happens to be a mythical city littered with ancient treasures. In the end, Quinn will have no choice but to wallow in the past or embrace her future as her toughest crucible threatens to become her greatest failure. Will she emerge victorious, or will she remain doomed to wander the beyond for all eternity? Come hell or high water, there’s only one way to find out.

The gods never should have opened Pandora's Box... Nate Temple has been abducted by Zeus and is thrown into the middle of an Olympian family feud that could very well kick off the Omega War all by itself. There is one weapon that Zeus believes will turn the tide. Pandora's Box. But his neglect left it on earth for far too long, and Pandora has found a new master to serve. Nate Temple. Because Zeus put one thing inside the Box that he never should have...Hope. And Hope is a dangerous thing to leave unattended... Nate will need every ally and every tool at his disposal to have a chance at surviving. The only problem is that none of those allies have any idea where he is, but they're scouring the world to find him. Before it's too late. The only way out of this insanity is for Nate to face old demons, unite old friends, and outmaneuver plans that have spanned decades. The Dread Four must Ride to save their Brother, the Horseman of Hope, or everything will burn. Even if they win, everything might just burn all the same. But will it burn with Hope...or Despair?

Blasphemy is a victimless crime... Callie Penrose has taken over Castle Dracula all for herself, finally feeling like she has time to take a breath and relax. But the forces of Heaven and Hell have other plans. Callie quickly learns that removing her mother’s protection of binding Excalibur to her soul had very serious consequences. Namely, that it unleashed the Seven Deadly Sins on Kansas City. But they aren’t in town for mayhem—not directly. They came for a wedding. And a very dark prophecy that could bring the age-old Angel War to the streets of the City of Fountains. But it’s hard to focus on fighting when Hell is trying to fit her with a wedding dress… But that is only the least of her concerns, because her mother kept secrets that could rock the Pillars of Heaven and rattle the Foundations of Hell. The only problem is that her mother was so scared to share it, she didn’t write it down anywhere.

Witches and werewolves and rednecks, oh my! After surviving one Hell of a journey, Quinn MacKenna-black magic arms dealer turned demigoddess-was really looking forward to spending some quality time with friends. And maybe a beer. Unfortunately time is the only thing Quinn doesn't have, and all her friends are either missing, in hiding, or imprisoned-including her favorite bartender. Then again, after being gone a year and six months without sending so much as a postcard, what should she expect? With the world having literally spun out of control since she last stepped foot in the mortal realm, Quinn finds herself wandering Boston, penniless and without a home. To make matters worse, it seems a very powerful, very mysterious someone has overthrown the powers that be and set something Wild loose in her city. Something determined to Hunt down every last soul Quinn cares about. Unless she turns herself in before the next full moon. Facing a decision she cannot afford to make and a deadline she cannot afford to miss, Quinn has no choice but to leave Boston in someone else's capable hands. Fortunately, if her adventures have taught her nothing else, it's that she can't do everything herself. Which is why-when a pack of Missouri werewolves lead her to question the motives of a white witch-Quinn looks for an enchanting solution. In the end, Quinn will be called upon to weigh the needs of her city against her own. But first, she will have to tap into a power she does not understand, reunite with some exceptionally Sick acquaintances, start a witch-hunt, and stop a massacre. And all before the next full moon-unless she wants to owe a certain goddess a debt that could take an eternity to repay. Turns out being immortal isn't as much fun as Quinn thought it would be. But then, nobody ever said moonlighting as a deity would be easy-though they probably should have mentioned the tremendous sacrifices she'd be asked to make. Like having to wear a freaking dress.

Trinity

2020

War is coming to the City of Fountains. The Four Legendary Creatures are free, the Seven Sins are running wild, the vampires are getting thirsty, and the Vatican is ready to enter the front lines. And Callie Penrose is at the heart of it all. The Horsewoman of Despair flicked the first domino, and the consequences are echoing throughout the various halls of power in all corners of the world. As the streets of Kansas City threaten to become raging rivers of blood, one of those closest to Callie is kidnapped, and she is forced to choose between her heart and the people who depend on her to keep them safe. To value duty over love. As the pillars of Heaven begin to crumble, it becomes increasingly obvious that all these events are coordinated rather than coincidental. Callie may have flicked that first domino, but how much can her heart handle when she learns that some of her closest friends set all the dominos up in the first place. Now is the time when success truly depends on how Lucky Callie can be, and whether she can determine which friends have been paid thirty pieces of silver to stab her in the back. Angels shall weep, and demons shall laugh. Humanity will burn and gods shall die in the wake of a Horsewoman betrayed.

Halo Breaker

2021

The White Rose marches for war. The angels will weep, the devils will cry, and mankind may die. Callie Penrose wields the Spear of Destiny and wears Envy’s Halo—the corrupting power of darkness balanced by the legendary blade of light. Both fight for dominance of the White Rose, but which force will win? Her best friend, Claire, has been abducted or killed, and her only surviving family has been ritualistically murdered to hide the truth of the Divines and the Sev’n Most Sinist’r. Heaven has deemed her a criminal and Hell begs her to be their queen or die. The Vatican is preparing to march on the City of Fountains to defend mankind against the horrors of the White Rose, the new Master Dracula, once and for all. The answers to her past—and mankind’s future—are hidden deep within Solomon’s Temple, locked away for very good reason. Callie will have to face some dark, painful truths to bring harmony to a world gone mad. To discover why Heaven and Hell are so eager to bring her under their control. But the Horsewoman of Despair is not alone. The Horseman of Justice and Absolution ride to Kansas City to lay waste to her foes. Three of the Dread Four will march against the forces of Heaven, Hell, and the Vatican. And Kansas City is not the only battleground. The Garden of Eden is in grave peril, and no one knows if Callie is the danger or if she’s the savior. After all, how good can Master Dracula be? The Halo Breaker rides a path as thin as the edge of a sword, and even she doesn’t know what is right or wrong. But that’s what family is about. Getting into—and out of—trouble. Let’s just hope the city can survive. Let us pray that the Garden of Eden will thrive. The flip of a coin will decide the fate of the world.

A tree’s branches cannot reach Heaven unless its roots also touch Hell… The Four Horsemen are hunting the most deadly and elusive of fugitives—the White Rose. Despite being wanted and on the run, Callie has no intention of hiding from the angelic fallout that now plagues Kansas City. Never. Master Dracula will stand as a nightmarish specter against the forces of Heaven, Hell, the nephilim, and the Vatican Conclave. But nothing is as simple as it seems in this war. Because betrayal hides behind every ally’s smile, and compassion stands behind every execution. Virtue and compassion, monsters and sheep, victors and victims—all two sides of the same coin. As they say, it is a mother bear’s compassion that gets you eaten. Callie must cross lines she never wanted to cross, and heed the darkest whispers in her mind if she wants to survive what is to come. If she wants her people to survive what is to come. She must evolve and adapt into something darker, something scarier, something nobly cruel. A symbol to be revered with fearful adoration. The Horsewoman of Despair is about to flick the first domino of the Omega War. Thunder and Terror will herald the End, and a true monster will wield the infamous fiery blades with a smile of silver fangs and a pair of glowing white eyes. Some monsters are born… Others are made. Non Serviam is the battlecry of the damned…and the exalted.

Savage

2021

Boys want attention. Men want respect. Legends just don’t care… Nate Temple is finally taking some time off to appreciate the finer things in life…like his new Valkyrie, Kára. But their weeks of romance come to a swift end and lethal end when assassins invade the sanctity of Chateau Falco. Not only that, but Nate finds himself neck-deep in politics when he is framed for murdering one of the most notorious Academy Justices to ever walk the Earth, and the legendary suits of magical armor belonging to Camelot are suddenly up for grabs. New faces—both good and bad—step into the game, and Nate soon finds himself at the center of a vortex of chaos leading to war in Camelot with the Fae Queens, on Earth with the Academy wizards, and potentially in Asgard with the Norse pantheon. The more chaotic things get, the more certain Nate becomes that the Masters are finally starting to make their moves out in the open, no longer content to hide in the shadows. They want to force Nate to act… And they might not live to regret his decision to agree. Because only a savage beast of a man could believe that personally kicking off the wars—all at the same time—is the safest course of action. Will he reconsider the wisdom of that decision when it finally brings him face-to-face with one of the Masters—the very person behind all the chaos in the first place? Especially when he learns that this chaos is only the opening move in their grand game of death, and that his foe has been practicing for many, many years for this precise moment. The chance to defeat Nate Temple, once and for all. Let your plans be dark and impenetrable as night, and when you move, fall like a thunderbolt.—Sun Tzu

Yuletide Punch

2021

Tis the season...for slaying! Fresh off a disturbingly long absence for which she has no explanation or recollection, Quinn MacKenna—reformed Catholic, semi-retired arms dealer, and borderline alcoholic—is busy enjoying the Nordic idea of an afterparty before becoming quickly embroiled in a bitter power struggle coinciding with the advent of the Yuletide season. The issue at hand: the future of the Norse pantheon and its role in the mysterious Omega War to come. The participants: Odin, the All-father and leader of the Aesir, against his younger brothers, Vili and Vé. Unfortunately, amidst this tumultuous backdrop, Quinn finds herself bereft of everything she once possessed: her Valkyrie armor, her legendary spear, and even her dubious divinity. As such, Quinn has no choice but to broker lopsided alliances and cultivate tenuous friendships while searching for answers to questions she doesn’t even know how to ask. Of course, when dealing with ancient and occasionally spiteful gods, it’s not always easy to tell who’s been naughty and who’s been nice. To that end, Quinn must decide what paths to take and how far she’s willing to go down them—even if that means doing so while blind. But then perhaps it really is as simple as some people say: seeing is believing, and believing is seeing. Even if you have to trade an eye for the privilege. If you like Jim Butcher, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K.F.

Rage, rage against the dying of the light In the stygian darkness beneath his ancestral mausoleum, Nate sets out to explore the shadowed history of his infamous Temple ancestors. And to brutally destroy a poisonous weed threatening to strangle his family tree. Aiden Maxon, Nate’s half-brother, is on the warpath, committed and capable of killing everything and everyone Nate loves and holds dear. But… Are they truly brothers? Was that a lie? In the obsidian Temple of Reverie, Nate will face a choice: vengeance or virtue, power or principle, history or future, hate or love… Despair or Hope. The caverns of Hell will scream, the Rivers of the Dead will boil, and the Dark Horse will hike up a mountain of skulls to lead the Dread Four into battle. The crimson storms will rage as he hunts down his foe across the pages of history. Let us hope that not all will be abandoned in Nate Temple’s conquest for vengeance… Let us hope that the last flicker of light in the Horseman’s eyes does not die and plunge the world into the abyss before the true battle begins. The drums of the Omega War will sound like the beating heart of an awoken giant, and it will be impossible for anyone to ignore.
