In the land of Mezo, the Tzalekuhl Empire sets out to conquer the
surrounding territories, determined to make all other tribes kneel
before their god, Kuhl, or be sacrificed in his honor. They believe
it is the only way to ensure their safety during the upcoming solar
eclipse, after the last one caused a volcanic eruption that
destroyed their previous home: an event known as "The Rupture."
During the first Tzalekuhl invasion, Kyma witnessed the death of
her father, chief of the Huax'kin, at the hands of the
supernaturally strong Phegor. Kyma's life was spared by a kind
soldier named Roden. Eventually, Kyma escaped and lead the
surviving members of her tribe deep into the forest where she
reunites with her estranged mother, Mz'ira, chief of the Kan'kin.
Their only chance of standing up against the Tzalekuhl is to unite
their forces. But the Tzalekuhl know exactly where they're hiding
thanks to their mystical power of Ne'nezi. He was once of member of
the ancient order known as the Zen'talli, but now serves Emperor
Vuh. They send their troops into the jungle towards Coban Rock to
wipe out the tribes once and for all. Meanwhile, Itza'be, the last
remaining member of the Zen'talli, jouneys to the World Tree to
consult the Great Mother. He learns that his failure to join his
fellow Zen'talli during the previous solar eclipse likely caused
"The Rupture." Each member of the Zen'talli carries with them 1/3
of the Celestial Seed, diving its power among them. If he doesn't
reunite the Seed before the next eclipse, the devastation will be
even more severe this time. Itza'be sets off toward the now
unguarded Tzalekuhl palace, bringing with him his young disciple,
Zea. They seek Ne'nezi so they can use his part of the Celestial
Seed in order to find the missing third piece, lost at the city of
Meztalpotek during "The Rupture." Back at Coban Rock, the Tzalekuhl
forces are overwhelming the tribes until the Hero Twins, Uhna and
Balaque, show up with the giant tree creatures known as the
Arbath'a. They want to put an end to the battle, but it's tough to
play peacekeeper when you show up after the bloodshed has begun.
Their objective if further complicated when they realize their old
friend, Roden, is leading the Tzalekuhl. During their hesitation,
Kyma tries again to avenger her father, but Phegor is too strong.
Mz'ira jumps in to save her daughter and sacrifices herself in
order to buy time for the tribes to escape. Phegor takes over
command after discovering that Roden's allegiance to the empire is
compromised. He orders the pursuit of the tribes. No one must be
allowed to escape. But the hero twins have other plans and hold off
the Tzalekuhl until the tribes have all crossed the ravine, cutting
the bridge down behind them. Phegor and the Tzalekuhl may have won
the battle, but the tribes remain free. After burying her mother,
Kyma asks the hero twins to join her in a journey back to the
Tzalkuhl. Their mission is two-fold: rescue their friend Roden and
discover what has happened Itza'be and Zea. The eclipse is fast
approaching, and if the Celestial Seed is not reunited in time, it
will be the doom of all on them.

"Inspiring, disturbing, and triumphant." -- FOREWORD Embedded with
an eco-terrorist group hellbent on explosive direct action,
investigative journalist Owen Graham is enmeshed in a dangerous
culture on the political fringe. Ordinary citizens, frustrated by
inequality and oppression and a bureaucracy's resistance to change,
are starting to go off the grid and disrupt the status quo. But the
fringe is poised to go mainstream, and Owen's days as a passive
observer are running short. While a series of escalating
misunderstandings land an idealistic public school teacher in the
middle of a hostage situation and the sights of an overeager
federal agent who has been trailing Owen for months, he intervenes
in a desperate split-second decision. Owen's old life is gone
forever. Now he's on the run with a trio of fellow crusaders, all
fighting for a better world but now labeled as terrorists by the
government. Disparate people on all sides, each convinced they're
right - and doing the right thing -- are now spinning towards each
other in an inexorable spiral of violence. AMERICAN TERRORIST is a
high-speed chase across the country in search of radical solutions
to injustice, inspiring a movement that may be snuffed out before
it starts.

As if 27 enormous Monsters ruling over post-apocalyptic Earth
wasn't enough, now there's a new threat from outer space: Crawlies,
a legion of voracious alien predators eating everything in their
path. Humanity's only chance is the Pilot Beti, her incredible Mech
and her best friend, a telepathic, telekinetic dog named E.K. And
Beti will face an even bigger challenge: the return of a long-lost
flame. Filled with jaw-dropping visuals, spine-tingling romance and
laugh-out-loud comedy, see why THE 27 RUN: CRUSH continues what
Steve Orlando (WONDER WOMAN) calls, "A wasteland tale energized
with dark humor and fantastic creatures."
After training in secret with his mother's sister, the magical Lady
Taleissa, Prince Kaidan returns home to find his kingdom destroyed
and his parents, King Gorlan and Queen Olwen, gone. With the
monarchy overthrown, Kaidan is set adrift in a lawless land where
his birthright is no longer recognized. To make matters worse,
there's a price on his head set by the warlord who wants to ensure
that the royal line has no chance to return. Kaidan seeks refuge
with a merry band of outlaws hiding in the forest, who were neither
loyal to the monarchy nor to the current leadership. Kaidan joins
them until they betray him, selling him out to a local merchant and
giving the money to the poor. Now a captive, Kaidan prepares to be
exchanged for the reward money until his outlaw friends reveal
their plan to rescue him. Kaidan then discovers that the King was
indeed killed but his mother is most likely alive, though
imprisoned by the warlord. Kaidan's rescuers offer him a new home
among them. He's tempted, but with his mother still missing, he
realizes that his aunt, the Lady Taleissa, must be searching for
her. Kaidan resolves to find them both and set things right even if
being King is no longer a reality.
