The unforgettable Margaret of Ashbury returns in the second book of the trilogy that began with A Vision of Light. Margaret, a resourceful midwife, is living with the insufferable relatives of her third husband, Gilbert de Vilers, known as Gregory. She is carving out a life for herself and her daughters despite the hostility and greed of her in-laws. But when Gregory is captured in France and held for ransom, Margaret knows she must take action—her in-laws are too tight with money to be of any use—so she teams up with her old friends Mother Hilde, the herbalist, and Brother Malachi, an alchemist on a quest for the secret of changing base metals into gold. Together, the trio plan to rescue Gregory and bring him back to London, where he and Margaret can start a new life away from his meddling family. And thus begins a wild romp across fourteenth-century Europe. Murderous noblemen, scheming ladies, truculent ghosts, and a steady stream of challenges plague the journey. Margaret will need not only her special gift of healing, her quick mind, and her independent spirit but the loyalty of her friends and the love of her new husband to carry them all safely home

The final adventure in the beloved and bestselling Margaret of Ashbury trilogy, which began with A Vision of Light and In Pursuit of the Green Lion. Margaret of Ashbury is ready to settle down; the medieval healer is looking forward to an uneventful life in the country. And, indeed, life with her true love and a brood of rambunctious children is nearly perfect—except for her husband Gregory's ever-meddling family. Finding himself deep in debt once again, Gregory's father has plotted to sell Margaret's daughter off in marriage to save his woodlands from a greedy abbot. In a panic, Margaret turns to her old friend Brother Malachi to help save her daughter by whatever means necessary. The tension within the feuding family rouses an ancient being that dwells in a spring at the center of the disputed woodland. The watery creature has its own plans, and its eye is on Margaret's infant son. Favorite characters return, the stakes are high, and the air is thick with intrigue and danger. Written with the historical accuracy, supernatural plot twists, and humor that Riley's readers have grown to love, The Water Devil is a high-spirited adventure that brings Margaret's odyssey to a satisfying conclusion.

Jon, Delta and his team are back in book two of the ?Humans and other Aliens? series to face an even more deadly enemy. Get ready for a mind-bending ride where good clashes with ultimate evil, where ideas of time and space dissolve into universal truth, where time travel meets genetic engineering, and where classical sci-fi bonds with spirituality. Experience alien creations you have never encountered before, fierce and deadly, but at the same time kind, understanding and compassionate: 'Erin felt the wheel of time as an invisible weight on her shoulders. She was not a creature of time. She was not used to it tugging at her, forcing her boundlessness into frontiers shaped by ideas of man, creatures who lived in the artificial dimensions of time and space, who followed beliefs of life and death, and who lived in self-made isolation, beings who had managed to turn against their own kind. Harvesting humans was easy. Their physical form was weak; it was no match for her godlike strength. It took her a while to understand why other humans got so upset when one of their kind was harvested. Wheat did not complain when its neighbor was cut down, reduced to its essence only to be reborn in a different form.'

A debut thriller set in a Texas prison by a young British psychiatrist who has never been to Texas, or to a prison. Nevertheless, the book's description of life in Green River, a mythical maximum security prison, is frighteningly convincing. The plot, however, is action-movie simple. A once-idealistic warden causes a race riot to shake up the corrupt system. This happens to take place the day before Ray Klein, a marshal-arts-obsessed doctor who was set up on rape charges, is due out on parole. Worse yet, the love of his life, a tough-as-nails visiting forensic psychiatrist, is trapped in the AIDS ward, and Klein must find a way to save his damsel in distress, as well as his adopted patients, before they are killed by the bad guys--an all-star team of white psychopaths. Klein does this with the help of his colorful sidekicks, most of whom are equally innocent men unjustly forced into prison by the cruel world. These sidekicks are all cut from the best-supporting-actor mold: the simple-minded giant, the sensitive black boxer, the gruff but caring lifer. Just to show that he is no mere schlock writer, Willocks then mixes in some watered-down and bombastic Foucault-sounding pontification on good and evil, discipline and punishment, and death and dying. But don't worry--brutal violence is always just a page away. In Willocks's prison, everything comes down to the good versus the bad, literally black versus white, with the blacks being good and the whites bad. But forceful writing somehow pulls the plot along, and, despite all of its flaws, including the silly and improbable sex scenes, Green River Rising is a fierce read. Realize that you are ingesting gobs of junk artfully disguised as gourmet fare, then dive in and enjoy.

From James DeMonaco, the writer/director of The Purge film franchise, comes the provocative and terrifying last stand of a lone outpost of women in the wake of a deadly pandemic.   Allie Hilts was still in high school when a fire at a top-secret research facility released an air-borne pathogen that quickly spread to every male on the planet, killing most. Allie witnessed every man she ever knew be consumed by fearsome symptoms: scorching fevers and internal bleeding, madness and uncontrollable violence. The world crumbled around her. No man was spared, and the few survivors were irrevocably changed. They became disturbingly strong, aggressive, and ferocious. Feral.   Three years later, Allie has joined a group of hardened survivors in an isolated, walled-in encampment. Outside the guarded walls the ferals roam free, and hunt. Allie has been noticing troubling patterns in the ferals' movements, and a disturbing number of new faces in the wild. Something catastrophic is brewing on the horizon, and time is running out. The ferals are coming, and there is no stopping them.   With Feral, writer/director James DeMonaco and acclaimed novelist Brian Evenson have created a challenging and entertaining novel of timely horror and exhilarating suspense.

Human activity has irreversibly changed the natural environment. But the news isn't all bad. It's accepted wisdom today that human beings have permanently damaged the natural world, causing extinction, deforestation, pollution, and of course climate change. But in Inheritors of the Earth, biologist Chris Thomas shows that this obscures a more hopeful truth--we're also helping nature grow and change. Human cities and mass agriculture have created new places for enterprising animals and plants to live, and our activities have stimulated evolutionary change in virtually every population of living species. Most remarkably, Thomas shows, humans may well have raised the rate at which new species are formed to the highest level in the history of our planet. Drawing on the success stories of diverse species, from the ochre-colored comma butterfly to the New Zealand pukeko, Thomas overturns the accepted story of declining biodiversity on Earth. In so doing, he questions why we resist new forms of life, and why we see ourselves as unnatural. Ultimately, he suggests that if life on Earth can recover from the asteroid that killed off the dinosaurs, it can survive the onslaughts of the technological age. This eye-opening book is a profound reexamination of the relationship between humanity and the natural world.

Sixteen-year-old Sally Dahl is a rare, modern-day Norse Witch with more power than she realizes. Playing sick from school in Portland, she's casting rune spells during a rare astronomical convergence to bring about a better, happier planet -- and hoping her parents don't find out. What Sally doesn't know is that the Norse gods are still around, albeit without their divine powers -- Odin is a high school principal, and blustering Thor is about to lose yet another job as a photocopier repairman. But Heimdall has the perfect cover as a forest ranger while he and his kin hunt for the newly reincarnated World Tree and try to prevent Ragnarok, the literal end of the world that could be timed to the same alignment of stars. Instead, Sally stumbles across Managarm the Moon Dog, a lost god who seems desperate for her magickal help. But does he really share Sally's vision of a more peaceful world, or are his intentions much, much darker? And what can she do about the ancient Berserker warriors she accidentally calls up, who pledge their allegiance and then demand junk food runs to Voodoo Doughnut and Burgerville?

They say that long ago, there was a rebellion in Heaven. That an army of angels sought to seize the throne, and were cast down into the pits of Hell in punishment. Those are the affairs of angels, and everything would have been fine if they?d kept them to themselves. But there?s been another uprising, and another Fall. Cast down to Earth, the rebel angels ravaged the globe in an orgy of sin and violence as they indulged in their newfound freedoms. Their new home is the Perch, a black, towering monstrosity that blights what?s left of the New York City skyline. Life inside the Perch means you watch your tongue, if you?re a servant. Jana has lived there since she was a child, and now she?s found herself thrust into the middle of angelic politics. Some of them want to torture her, just for the fun of it. Others say they want to protect her. And Rhamiel, a charismatic and powerful angel with one of the few faces that wasn?t burnt and scarred by the Fall, is relentlessly pursuing her affections. Life outside can be just as dangerous. Strange things fell with the angels and wander the countrysides. The roads are filled with Vichies, cringing humans who?ve thrown their lot in with their oppressors and won?t hesitate to take advantage of the weak. But some are still fighting, including William Holt. He leads a small cell of fighters, searching for a way to strike back against the angels without getting themselves killed in the process. And all around, the fallen angels inflict their savageries on the dwindling remains of humanity, enjoying every vice they?d been forbidden during their long centuries of service. They Who Fell is the first book in a trilogy.

By midnight, he's bleeding and terrified, his wife is dead, and he's on the run in a stolen car with his eight-year-old daughter, who may be the key to a cure. Ellie is a special girl. Deep. Insightful. And she knows David is lying to her. Lying about her mother. Lying about what they're running from. And lying about what he sees when he takes his eyes off the road . . .

But darker things have come to Earth than Suriel, and the Cherubim are working strange magics from their Hive. Things from Lucifer's Pit are finding their way out of their cage and into the world, and they come whispering about Lucifer himself. Hiding isn't an option anymore, and the only choice left to Jana and Rhamiel is to fight. They need old allies to do it, along with whatever new ones they can scrounge, and the fate of the world will be decided by a final battle with the architect of Heaven's first rebellion. Here's what readers are saying about the They Who Fell series: "Holy awesome surprise! Mr. Kneupper hooked me with the first chapter and kept me turning pages until I finished the book in one sitting. Excellent writing, great characterization and a phenomenal plot landed They Who Fell at a solid 5 star rating. By turning the traditionally ingrained idea of benevolent angles on its head and creating a plausible set of circumstances, I seriously questioned what would happen if a second heavenly fall occurred. Would the angels I've viewed as guardians become my worst nightmare? Would God turn his back on all of His creations and let the outcome be determined by the players themselves?" -Renee, Amazon Reviewer "In a word, WOW!!! This book was sad, scary, disturbing and fascinating all at the same time. I didn't want to put it down. As a believer, it had me asking what if? The story made me think and I like that about books. I can't wait for the next installment because I want to know what's going to happen next. Is humanity redeemed? Who knows but I can't wait." -Bookworm2015, Amazon Reviewer "I found the story incredibly fascinating, as seen through the eyes of an innocent young woman who was brought to the angels' stronghold, The Tower, too young to even remember what it was like on the outside. I truly enjoyed reading this book. It is vastly different from any of books I have read to date. Humans tend to think of angels as benevolent beings...and they were...but when they "Fell," they seemed to have lost their compassion for the human race. The author created an angelic caste system of sorts, as well as his own idea of angelic politics. I was enthralled and couldn't help but barrel through the book to see where the next page took me." -Paiutedancer, Amazon Reviewer "I came back after reading the second book to write this review. I couldn't wait to see what befell these characters next! I was intrigued and horrified at how these Angels acted! This is not the typical, Angels trying to save humanity story, it's like a science experiment gone horribly awry, like pulling the wings off of flies! I cannot wait to see if the Author expands on this storyline and I hope he does because I am hooked!" -Kim61, Amazon Reviewer
