An alien disease. A cryptic bloodline. An ancient feud between worlds.

Well. It’s nothing a little swagger can’t handle.

Damian Riddle’s sick of bouncing around the known galaxy in search of a cure for the alien disease that’s been plaguing him for months. He hasn’t felt up to robbing a single pirate ship, or breaking into any cartel supply stashes. It’s inconvenient, at best.

Also, he’s got a feeling the illness just might be fatal.

The only solution? To start searching the unknown galaxy for a cure. And Damian knows how to do it.

But when a nosy reporter stows away in his smuggling compartment, throwing off his calculations, the ship slingshots them both to an unknown location–where political maneuvering is the status quo and sinister mysteries cast shadows over the crystalline beauty of the alien city.

If Damian can’t figure out where the heck they are–and whether these aliens can help him with a cure–his ailment is sure to kill him. And with his symptoms growing worse, he fears the fallout may not be contained to one man…

Their love is destined to shatter the boundaries of time…

Archaeology grad student Alexandra Larson’s world is turned upside down when her mother shares her deepest, darkest secret—that she doesn’t know the true identity of Lex’s father. The revelation sparks a change within Lex, and her dreams become far too real. She sees things she shouldn’t be able to see…knows things she couldn’t possibly know. Terrifying things. Deadly things.

To distract her from the surreal changes taking over her life, Lex leaps at the chance to join an Egyptian excavation run by Oxford’s enigmatic Professor Marcus Bahur. But the distraction might be more than she bargained for. While deciphering the secrets of a mysterious stone tablet, Lex falls headlong into a prophecy created by a dying god over four millennia ago. She must rely on her frightening new psychic powers to dig up the truth. And it doesn’t take long for her visions to convince her that both Professor Bahur and his excavation are much more than they seem…

The past clashes with the present in this paranormal saga of ancient prophecies and warring gods. If you like Egyptian mythology, steamy romance, time-bending mysteries, and complex characters, then you’ll love this sprawling time travel adventure.

Clio’s mission in life is simple: keep her unique powers hidden and avoid other magical beings at all costs. Sounds simple enough. But, when a group of murderous dark elves attack her, keeping a low profile becomes a little more complicated.

To make matters worse, she’s now adopted an unwanted defender. His name is Dash — a reindeer shifter who’s as irritating as he is handsome. He wants to protect her. She wants him to take his rather large antlers and fly on back to the North Pole. But when magical creatures are being killed, and no one knows why, she has no choice but to trust him.

They’ll need to work together if they want to find this group of killer elves. But can Clio keep the nature of her powers hidden when Dash is watching her so closely? Or will her secrets unravel as the danger escalates and her magic becomes the one thing between them and disaster?

An elite unit. A dark secret. Can they stop interstellar war before it starts?

Hex Thorn, a hard-bitten veteran of the elite Special Operations Unit of the Dominion Empire, was content with retirement. He’d seen his share of firefights and bloodshed in a bitter war that ripped the galaxy apart.

But when an enigmatic stranger makes him an offer he can’t refuse–a chance to own a legendary Lancer ship–Hex is thrust back into the fray.

His mission?

Hunt down the elusive Dr. Attica Tharand, a person whose secrets could shatter the galaxy’s fragile balance of power.

Hex must reassemble his old Special Ops team, a ragtag crew of soldiers as skilled as they are unpredictable. But they soon find out they aren’t the only ones after the doctor.

With galactic tension on the razor’s edge, Hex will need all his grit, guile, and gunfire to uncover the truth about his target and those who wish him caught. An elite unit. A dark secret. Can they stop interstellar war before it starts?

SHADOW WATCH is the start of a pulse-pounding interstellar adventure from the minds of Brandon Ellis and Max Wolfe. Alliances will be tested, friendships will be forged, and through the darkest of trials, heroes will be born.
