The Ancients locked them out.
The lock broke.
“Great Scary Story.” Pat Conroy
“I slept with the lights on for two weeks.”
“The world of the Long Claws is a terrifying hell.”
Two clans: one is human. Each wants survival. They cannot co-exist.
Pete Mason is a fifteen-year-old runaway. He’s never fit in, and he is fed-up with trying. With no idea the Mason clan members don’t fit society for a reason, an ancient reason, fate leads him to a long-lost relative, just in time to do what he was born to — stop creatures from another world.
Cut off by rain-swollen rivers: an old veteran with a secret, Pete Mason, and a Cherokee medicine woman face horrific creatures – the Long Claws, a clan of perfect predators evolved to track and kill at lightning speed.
In their world, all death is by predation. To sleep is to die. Staying still too long invites death. Parched, broken earth with active volcanoes is their vista. Low roiling clouds thick with sulfur conceal flying creatures great and small. Barriers of plants patiently wait to kill beasts to nourish their roots. All life has a niche to survive – for a short time.
An ancient doorway opens, and a clan slips through.
The human world presents unknowns and discomforts. They discover humans, slow and lacking teeth or claws, have new lethal ways of fighting back.
Once aware of the Long Claws’ presence, the small clan of humans becomes formidable and determined.
The Long Claws do not come in anger, rage, or revenge. They come to eat. It is their nature to kill and consume food. They are without human emotions. They are intelligent and have a social structure. They possess forty million years of genetic evolution, driving survival.
They want to stay here, hidden and breed.
There can be no witnesses to their existence.

Haunted by sleepless nights and the recent loss of her mother, Sarah has no idea she stands at the threshold of an extraordinary transformation—or that the mysterious stranger who keeps appearing has been assigned to protect her.
John Ramsey is a Protector with a troubled past and a dangerous mission: to guide Sarah through her imminent “Shift” without revealing too much of the hidden world that exists alongside humanity. But Sarah is no ordinary human. As possibly the last female “Red-Line” Shifter—a nearly extinct bloodline—she possesses abilities that haven’t been seen in over sixty years, making her invaluable to the Council of elders who govern their kind. As Sarah’s transformation accelerates, powerful forces conspire from the shadows. While two elderly Council members plot her death, another watches Ramsey’s every move.
When unexpected feelings develop between Sarah and her protector, the stakes become even higher when a powerful enemy threatens to unravel their growing connection and make Sarah his own.

Jack Bloodfist fixes things. That’s what his card says, anyway…
When the orcs and goblins of Summervale, Virginia need something done they call Jack.
He’s the one who convinces the local PD to ignore any orcish violence. The guy who makes sure the goblins aren’t evicted whenever they do something decidedly goblin.
He also does the little things that no one else is willing to do. Like handing keys over whenever a prodigal son returns, or identifying the body of said prodigal.
He’s always believed himself capable of fixing any issue his extended family needs fixed, even those they create for themselves, but when a powerful paladin comes to town and starts killing orcs, Jack may be out of his depth.
With the help of a drow detective, a reporter that is more than she seems, and a wizard with plans of his own, Jack hopes to, if not fix the problem, at least make sure it doesn’t get worse.
That’s when the paladin’s angry god shows up with a whole army of holy knights.
All in a day’s work.

– From Kindle Storyteller Award Winner G J Ogden –
A dragon’s heart can forge empires or reduce them to ash.
Sir Torin Cadwell is caught between blood and duty. He’s a Knight-Captain of the Watch, and the tyrant king’s illegitimate son. Haunted by a cursed lineage and bound to a generations-old feud with Kyhrax, the most feared dragon in all of Westskyr, Torin walks a dangerous line between hero and heir.
For centuries, the city of Dun Morlaig has been shielded by the Breath, a magical barrier powered by the crystallized heart of Astreya, the Great Mother dragon. But when a sacred sword is stolen, the barrier falters and ancient enemies return.
As monstrous Koblyn and dragon-worshipping cultists flood the realm, Torin defies the king and joins forces with Ruxandra Elyr, a fierce ranger of the Green Bow. Their quest to recover the sword becomes a race against time as Kyhrax awakens, and the fire of his vengeance threatens to consume all seven realms.
Blending royal intrigue, legendary weapons, and fire-breathing wrath, Sword of the Fallen is perfect for fans of Brandon Sanderson and John Gwynne. Embark on your next epic fantasy adventure today.
