While landscaping his backyard, ever-conscientious Paul Prentice discovers an iron door buried in the soil. His childhood friend and perpetual source of mischief, Jay Lightsey, pushes them to explore what’s beneath.
When the door slams shut above them, Paul and Jay are trapped in a between-worlds place of Escher-like rooms and horror story monsters, all with a mysterious connection to a command-line, dungeon explorer computer game from the early ’80s called The Between.
Paul and Jay find themselves filling roles in a story that seems to play out over and over again. But in this world, where their roles warp their minds, the biggest threat to survival may not be the Ko?maro, risen from the Between’s depths to hunt them; the biggest danger may be each other.
“I found The Between dark, super creepy, and pushing the limits of my limited amounts of courage to explore-but I couldn’t stop myself from coming back for more because it’s propulsive, addictive, and scary good fun.” – Sean Gibson, author of The Stuff About the Dragon Was (Mostly) True
“…an incredibly intricate novel that skillfully blends aspects of horror, sci-fi, fantasy, and cyberpunk.” – Nicole Willson, author of Tidepool.
“While in the first third of this book, I mentioned that the atmosphere reminded me of one of my favorite horror novels, SL Grey’s The Mall. There’s a surreal, not-right quality to that book that touched off a nerve in me that I just adored….I don’t at all mean this as an insult, as that’s a damn fun book- and so is this one! ….It’s almost like a grown up, more gory and violent horror version of Heir Apparent.” – Alexandra, Goodreads
“This debut novel by author Ryan Leslie combines elements of science fiction and horror that at times reminded me of The Hike by Drew Magary and Off To Be The Wizard by Scott Meyer, all while being something distinctly different.” – Matt, Goodreads
“It was a great mix of horror, sci-fi and adventure gaming!” – Stephanie, Goodreads

Children of Chaos is the start of a stirring, politically-charged quest duology by acclaimed fantasy author Dave Duncan.
On a dodecahedral world in thrall to the tyrannical, war-obsessed Hrag dynasty, no one could stop the Bloodlord from sending troops over the Edge to Florengia, invading its major cities, and offering them a choice between strict colonial rule and immediate and total destruction. When the doge of Celebre was faced with this ultimatum, he gave his children up as hostages so that the rest of Celebre might live. Thus the four young Florengians were taken from their homes and scattered across the Vigaelian face.
Fifteen years later, and you’d never guess that they’re siblings. Fabia was adopted by a wealthy landowner and spoiled rotten, Orlando desperately yearns to overcome his Florengian blood and fight for the Vigaelian army, Benard is a flighty but talented artist, and Wisdom has it that Dantio, the eldest, died fighting his captors. But when Celebre suddenly takes on crucial political significance, one of the siblings must return home to serve as Celebre’s puppet ruler, and the others must be eliminated so that there are no rival claimants to the throne.
It’s going to be tough enough finding one another, let alone deciding whether enough kinship remains after fifteen years apart that the siblings will care to help each other out of their respective predicaments. If they’re feeling particularly altruistic, the Celebres might even take on the bonus round: trying to save Dodec from the culture of death and war imposed on it by its evil warlords.
One thing’s for certain: the Celebre children are going to have a lot of adjusting to do . . .
At the Publisher’s request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
