An original novel set in the Halo universe - based on the New York
Times best-selling video game series Stripped of armor and might,
the Forerunner warrior known as the Didact was torn free from the
physical world following his epic confrontation with the Master
Chief, and sent reeling into the mysterious depths of a seemingly
endless desert wasteland. His mind ravaged, he has no recollection
of who he is or where he came from. This once powerful and
terrifying figure is now a shadow of his former self—gaunt,
broken, desiccated, and alone. But this wasteland is not as barren
as it seems, as a blue light glints from the apex of a thin spire
in the far distance… Thus begins the tale of the
Didact’s final fate—the untold story of one of the most
enigmatic and popular characters in all of HALO lore.
Find. Claim. Profit. In a post-war galaxy littered with scrap, it's
the salvager's motto. And with a fast ship and a lust for
adventure, Rion Forge has certainly made her mark on the trade.
When the discovery of a wrecked UNSC cruiser brings Rion's past
back to haunt her, stirring fresh hope into a decades-old wound,
she's hell-bent on finding answers: What really happened to her
father and his ship, the Spirit of Fire?

An original full-length novel set in the Halo universe and based on
the New York Times best-selling video game series! Find. Claim.
Profit. In a post-Covenant War galaxy littered with scrap, it's the
salvager's motto-and Rion Forge certainly made her mark on the
trade. All she wanted was to grow her business and continue the
search for her long-lost father, but her recent discovery of a
Forerunner debris field at the edge of human-occupied space has now
put her squarely in the crosshairs of the Office of Naval
Intelligence and the violent remains of the Covenant. Each faction
has a desire to lay claim to the spoils of ancient technology,
whatever the cost, sending Rion and the crew of the Ace of Spades
on a perilous venture-one that unexpectedly leads them straight
into danger far greater than anything they've ever encountered...
An original full-length Halo novel tying directly into the latest
entry of the New York Times bestselling video game series, Halo
Infinite. December 2559. Humanity has its back against the wall
after the United Nations Space Command flagship Infinity drops out
of slipspace into a devastating ambush launched by the Banished. As
this fierce enemy alliance seeks to claim a mysterious object
hidden within the ancient Forerunner construct known as Zeta Halo,
the surviving UNSC corps finds itself compromised and its
leadership out of reach-with remaining personnel forced to abandon
ship and take their chances on the fractured, unpredictable surface
of the Halo ring. Now survival in this strange, alien
environment-whether for Spartan super-soldiers or those who never
thought they would see the battle up close-is measured day to day
against a relentless and brutal adversary that always has the upper
hand. Desperation grows, but the will to keep on fighting and
enduring no matter the odds is never in doubt . . . even as the
Banished seek to unleash a frightening new enemy that could doom
them all. . . .
August 2558. Rion Forge was once defined by her relentless quest
for hope amidst the refuse and wreckage of a post-Covenant War
galaxy years spent searching for family as much as fortune. But
that was before Rion and the crew of her salvager ship Ace of
Spades encountered a powerful yet tragic being who forever altered
their lives. This remnant from eons past, when the Forerunners once
thrived, brought with it a revelation of ancient machinations and a
shocking, brutal history. Unfortunately, the Ace crew also made
dire enemies of the Office of Naval Intelligence in the process,
with the constant threat of capture and incarceration a very real
possibility. Now with tensions mounting and ONI forces closing in,
Rion and her companions commit to this being's very personal
mission, unlocking untold secrets and even deadlier threats that
have been hidden away for centuries from an unsuspecting
universe....
It takes a strong woman to keep the peace in a city of endless
night. . . . Deep beneath Underground, a cunning bid for power and
revenge has begun—one that threatens to make Atlanta the new
battleground in the ultimate confrontation between good and evil.
The powers of hellish Charbydon have the upper hand after plunging
the city into primordial night. And under the cover of darkness, a
serial killer targets the most powerful Elysians in the city, the
angelic Adonai. For Detective Charlie Madigan and her siren partner
Hank, tracking deadly predators is all in a day’s work . . . but
this case will test the limits of their strength and friendship as
it draws them into a deadly world of power plays, ancient myths,
explosive secrets, and a race against time that risks all that
Charlie holds dear.
Atlanta: it's the promised city for the off-worlders, foreigners
from the alternate dimensions of heaven-like Elysia and hell-like
Charbydon. Some bring good works and miracles. And some bring
unimaginable evil.... Charlie Madigan is a divorced mother of one,
and a kick-ass cop trained to take down the toughest human and
off-world criminals. She's recently returned from the dead after a
brutal attack, an unexplained revival that has left her plagued by
ruthless nightmares and random outbursts of strength that make
doing her job for Atlanta P.D.'s Integration Task Force even
harder. Since the Revelation, the criminal element in Underground
Atlanta has grown, leaving Charlie and her partner Hank to keep the
chaos to a dull roar. But now an insidious new danger is descending
on her city with terrifying speed, threatening innocent lives: a
deadly, off-world narcotic known as ash. Charlie is determined to
uncover the source of ash before it targets another victim -- but
can she protect those she loves from a force more powerful than
heaven and hell combined?

"Come one, come all The Carniepunk Midway promises you every thrill
and chill a traveling carnival can provide. But fear not Urban
fantasy's biggest stars are here to guide you through this strange
and dangerous world. . . ."
RACHEL CAINE's vampires aren't child's play, as a naive teen
discovers when her heart leads her far, far astray in "The Cold
Girl." With "Parlor Tricks," JENNIFER ESTEP pits Gin Blanco, the
Elemental Assassin, against the Wheel of Death and some dangerously
creepy clowns. SEANAN McGUIRE narrates a poignant, ethereal tale of
a mysterious carnival that returns to a dangerous town after twenty
years in "Daughter of the Midway, the Mermaid, and the Open, Lonely
Sea." KEVIN HEARNE's Iron Druid and his wisecracking Irish
wolfhound discover in "The Demon Barker of Wheat Street" that the
impossibly wholesome sounding Kansas Wheat Festival is actually not
a healthy place to hang out. With an eerie, unpredictable twist,
ROB THURMAN reveals the fate of a psychopath stalking two young
carnies in "Painted Love."
