Synopsis:
"For more than sixteen hundred years, Nick Medea has followed and guarded
the Gate that keeps the mortal realm and that of Feirie separate,
seeking in vain absolution for the fatal errors he made when he slew the
dragon. All that while, he has tried and failed to keep the woman he
loves from dying over and over.
Yet in the fifty years since the Night the Dragon Breathed over the city of Chicago, the Gate has not only remained fixed, but open to the trespasses of the Wyld, the darkest of the Feiriefolk. Not only does that mean an evil resurrected from Nick’s own past, but the reincarnation of his lost Cleolinda, a reincarnation destined once more to die.
Nick must turn inward to that which he distrusts the most: the Dragon, the beast he slew when he was still only Saint George. He must turn to the monster residing in him, now a part of him...but ever seeking escape.
The gang war brewing between Prohibition bootleggers may be the least of his concerns. If Nick cannot prevent an old evil from opening the way between realms...then not only might Chicago face a fate worse than the Great Fire, but so will the rest of the mortal realm."

Synopsis:
"The greatest philosopher of all time is offering to sell his soul to
the Devil. All he wants is twenty more years to complete his life’s
work. After that, he really doesn’t care.But the assistant demon assigned to the case has his suspicions, because the philosopher is Saloninus–the greatest philosopher, yes, but also the greatest liar, trickster and cheat the world has yet known; the sort of man even the Father of Lies can’t trust.
He’s almost certainly up to something; but what?"
Synopsis:
"In the vein of classic authors such as Robert Heinlein, Isaac Asimov,
and Arthur C. Clarke, Nathan Arkwright is a seminal author of the
twentieth century. At the end of his life he becomes reclusive and
cantankerous, refusing to appear before or interact with his legion of
fans. Little did anyone know, Nathan was putting into motion his true,
timeless legacy.
