The Nowak Brothers
Mikkel and Szandor kill monsters.
So what if they’re making it up as they’re going along? How much do you need to know to bash in a zombie’s head with a lead pipe or slice a ghoul with an internet-bought katana?
They may in fact have no clue what they’re doing.
But if you need someone to go down into the sewers to clear out some monsters, figure out why everyone in your neighborhood is getting bitten, or if you swear you really saw a zombie and you don’t know who to call, then call them. They’ll show up in their van of makeshift weapons, gear, and cleaning supplies to investigate your problem. They may be twenty-somethings with their own issues, but when it comes to monsters they know what they’re doing.
They probably have no clue what they’re doing.
That has never stopped them before.
Hired by a woman from the rich side of town who believes she’s being stalked by monsters, the two brothers think they’ve finally gotten an easy job that will pay well. But as they follow the clues, nothing adds up. Kidnappings, jackbooted commandos, and mysterious emails are just the beginning. Soon they find themselves involved in something bigger than monsters. It’s anybody’s guess whether they’ll come through it alive, much less get paid.

“[A] high-octane blend of nervy characters, dark humor and bristling dialogue… smart, timely, electrifying.”
— NPR
An exhilarating thrill-ride through the underbelly of cyber espionage in the vein of David Ignatius’s The Director and the television series Leverage, CSI: Cyber, and Person of Interest, which follows five iconoclastic hackers who are coerced into serving the U.S. government.
An Anonymous-style rabble rouser, an Arab spring hactivist, a black-hat hacker, an old-school cipherpunk, and an online troll are each offered a choice: go to prison or help protect the United States, putting their brains and skills to work for the government for one year.
But being a white-hat doesn’t always mean you work for the good guys. The would-be cyberspies discover that behind the scenes lurks a sinister NSA program, an artificial intelligence code-named Typhon, that has origins and an evolution both dangerous and disturbing. And if it’s not brought down, will soon be uncontrollable.
Can the hackers escape their federal watchers and confront Typhon and its mysterious creator? And what does the government really want them to do? If they decide to turn the tables, will their own secrets be exposed—and their lives erased like lines of bad code?
Combining the scientific-based, propulsive narrative style of Michael Crichton with the eerie atmosphere and conspiracy themes of The X-Files and the imaginative, speculative edge of Neal Stephenson and William Gibson, Zer0es explores our deep-seated fears about government surveillance and hacking in an inventive fast-paced novel sure to earn Chuck Wendig the widespread acclaim he deserves.

Dead witches don’t lie… but they do keep secrets.
When an enchanted ring sends Lexi Balefire hurtling into the past, she’s not sure if she’s starring in a rom-com, a time travel adventure, or a Hallmark movie with a supernatural twist. But one thing’s for sure—being a witch is even cooler than she thought.
The god part of her heritage? Not so much.
Lexi’s swoon-worthy rocker boyfriend, Kin Clark, nearly died helping her retrieve Cupid’s Bow of Destiny—the legendary weapon once wielded by her absentee father, the god of love himself. And now? It sits on her mantel like a temperamental magical paperweight, blasting Broadway show tunes and whispering cryptic warnings that sound suspiciously like riddles wrapped in enigmas.
Armed with nothing but a magical compass and a growing list of questions, Lexi embarks on a quest to restore the bow’s power before time runs out.
But hindsight isn’t 20/20—not even when you’re there to watch it unfold firsthand. And tampering with history isn’t just dangerous—it’s revelatory.
The past isn’t the pristine storybook she expected. With each thread she pulls, the tapestry of her “wicked” family legacy unravels further, exposing truths about her father’s role—and her own identity—that could redefine everything she thought she knew about love, magic, and the nature of fate itself.
Meanwhile, in the present, her arch-nemesis Serena Snodgrass is stirring the cauldron of chaos once again. Convinced that Lexi’s disaster of a half-brother is actually her soulmate, Serena is hell-bent on “rescuing” Jett from his banishment to the Faelands.
Lexi doesn’t get it. He’s not lost—he’s just Jett. But convincing Serena of that? Easier said than done. And now, it’s game on.
Through every temporal jump and present-day crisis, Kin remains her anchor—patient, steadfast, and far too good for the supernatural hurricane she’s dragged him into. She’s determined to hold on to the one thing in her life that isn’t bound by magic… if fate would just cut her a break.
But as the pressure builds, so do the doubts. Kin has been patient, but with secrets piling up and danger closing in, Lexi wonders if love—even the fated kind—can withstand the storm she’s summoned.
With the Bow of Destiny whispering secrets she isn’t ready to hear, Lexi’s learning that the threads of fate aren’t so easily mended—and some knots, no matter how much you pull, refuse to come undone.
?????“Time travel, magical heirlooms, and a reluctant goddess heroine—this installment delivers all the urban fantasy tropes I crave.”
????? “A whimsical, witty ride through past and present, full of magical artifacts, chaotic romance, and cozy paranormal twists.”
