John and Kyra, two friends who escaped London for the peace and quiet of the small coastal town of Whitby in the north of England, find themselves staying in the town as lockdown begins. With a virus sweeping across the world, growing ever more virulent and dangerous, the two friends decide to ride out the lockdown with good food, plenty of booze and their own company.
It soon becomes clear that the people who die, don't stay dead. While the government and emergency services fail to contain the threat the two friends find themselves a long way from home as the world collapses around them. With survival paramount, they have to do what ever is needed, no matter the cost.
Sometimes being in the right place at the wrong time will change your world. At least it does, for Alexis.
In one night, her eyes are opened the unseen world around her and she finds herself delivered to an academy deep in the heart of England, an academy where young witches learn to control their power.
Not only will she have to come to terms with a power she never knew she had, but she will find herself once again reliving the hell that was school. One thing soon becomes certain to her, no matter how powerful a witch she might be, there's nothing more dangerous than the school bullies, and as the young witches each vie for a coveted place in one of England's powerful Witches Covens, they can soon become deadly too.
Humanity fled a dying world and found a thousand more amongst the stars.
But a thousand worlds was not enough, would never be enough. What one has, another wants, what could have been a paradise, a golden age, became an age of war as the many branches of mankind fight for dominance, and the worst of them are the Vosk.
Rapists, killers, defilers, sadists, monsters, one and all.
Lena has always known that the world if full of monsters. What she didn't know, was that she was one of them.
Alone, but for her best friend, Lena masters her supernatural powers and joins up with a team of hunters in their war against the supernatural creatures that destroyed her family.
But she's not only fighting the monsters. As her feelings grow for her best friend, Evie; she must confront the creature that's haunted her nightmares for years.
Hidden in the darkness, they stalk the unwary. They have a hunger, a burning desire to taste of the flesh of others and their bite carries an infection, a virus that will send those who are bitten, crazy.
Those infected lose everything that makes them human, leaving them with just an urge for violence, for lust, for hunger and an unquenchable rage!
In the city of Leeds, Sarah, a young nurse, sees first-hand, the effects of this infection as it sweeps through the city, filling the emergency room with injured people. Unable to do more than bandage their wounds and send them home, she doesn’t realise how bad things are about to become.
Not far away, Jack, finds himself thrust into the role of leader as his tower block is quarantined by the military when martial law descends on the city. With little food and a community in terror, he has to hold things together and find a way to survive as the city dies around him.
No one asks about heroes after the war has been won.
Two mercenaries, their war over, struggle to survive in a city that has little need for them. A city where the Duke is dying and the noble families gather, each with their eye on the seat of power.
For Elena and Ren, there aren’t many choices left. Debts mount with each passing day, as criminal gangs, eager to use the mercenaries for their own gain, lead them down a dark and blood-soaked path.
As the old ways die, a new age of technology and magic emerges, yet for one who has lost much in the war, an ancient power buried deep within the heart of the stone, may give him what he seeks.
