PART ONE Charlotte Gold has followed in her father’s legendary, country-singing footsteps, though her success hasn’t spanned beyond Cottage Grove. She’s just fine with that and singing with her band at Home on the Range feels like a little slice of heaven and a whole lot of fun whenever she gets on stage. But when her drummer keels over, dead, one night while playing, Charlotte’s quiet corner of paradise turns dark. No one suspects foul play except for Charlotte and she will stop at nothing to expose the killer who took her friend’s life, even if the residents of Cottage Grove think she’s crazy.

Amnesia. Wendy’s memory will come back, but no one knows when or how or why, and until she remembers who knocked her out and tossed her into Silver Lake for dead, she will have no choice but to rely on the one man she trusts didn’t do it—Liam Doren.

Revelations of Doom
Jedidiah Behe - 2012
It was not at all loud, but the sound a blade would make being slowly pulled from its scabbard. Many years spent in the woods listening to the ambient rhythms of nature had trained his ears to pick up such out of place sounds. His body reacted reflexively, without thought as though he had done so thousands of times before. He jumped back off the steps just in time to see the glint of a sword slice past were his head was and thunk into the railing. He touched the pummel of his sword, feeling the energy surge through him and was about to pull it free when something within urged him to stop. Before he could decipher the reason for this impulse, the dark form leapt down at him. He ducked back, just far enough to let a second blade wisp by his face. The first was still lodged in the railing. This dodge put him in close to his attacker, making it possible for him to easily strike a deadly blow, but again something inside gave him pause. And then, in the soft glow of a nearby lantern, he caught a glimpse of his attacker, and she was absolutely beautiful.”Choices, we all make them, every day moment by moment. What most people do not realize is how a simple choice could very well alter their own life and those of everyone around them greatly. What would you do if you were blessed with the curse of being able to see evil and how they manipulate those around you? Would you choose to run in fear, ignore what you have just seen, or fight against something that no one else can see, and therefore limits their belief? Lucian was chosen to be such a man, much to his dismay. On a path of vengeance he strikes out to find a murderer, unknowing that the world around him is at the brink of war. He pushes on through pain, treachery, despair and even death, only to receive a Revelation that shows him what could very well become the future of his world, and it terrifies him. He is given the ability to see the creatures of shadow, set to destroy the world of the living and manipulate mankind into an evil existence. He is now faced with choices that would change the world forever. The pathways to his destiny are set, but he must choose to follow the correct path, for free will must always be heeded.
