In 2007, Dr. Martin MacNeill—a doctor, lawyer, and Mormon bishop—discovered his wife of 30 years dead in the bathtub of their Pleasant Grove, Utah home, her face bearing the scars of a facelift he persuaded her to undergo just a week prior. At first the death of 50-year-old Michele MacNeill, a former beauty queen and mother of eight, appeared natural. But days after the funeral when Dr. MacNeill moved his much younger mistress into the family home, his children grew suspicious. Conducting their own investigation into their mother’s death, the MacNeill’s daughters uncovered their father’s multiple marital affairs, past criminal record, and falsified college transcripts he used to con his way into medical school. It would take six long years to solve the mystery of Michele’s murder and secure a first-degree murder conviction against the once prominent doctor. New York Times bestselling author Shanna Hogan delves into the high-profile case, unmasking the monster beneath the doctor’s carefully concocted façade.

The monsters only come at night. They are called nightlings —creatures out of legend, hungry for blood, waiting just beyond the light. Once before, they nearly destroyed the world and were defeated only by warriors chosen and empowered by the gods themselves. Now, the nightlings have returned. But the heroes who once stood against them are old and broken, shadows of what they were. And so the gods choose again. A castle servant many believe to be cursed. A musician whose songs can kill. A nobleman with a dark secret—and the gods’ own luck. Unprepared and unwilling, these three are thrown into a war they were never meant to fight. They must stand against monsters, cruel men, and gods who serve the Darkness itself. The world has one last chance. And its fate rests in the hands of those no one would have chosen. The Son of the Morning is a character-driven epic fantasy in the tradition of David Gemmell and Joe Abercrombie , from bestselling author Jacob Peppers .

Sometimes adventure knocks. Other times, it kicks the door in. “Dearest Alexandria and Ozymandias, If you are reading this, I have perished. My demise likely involved some manner of spiked pit or curiously fanged beast, so it’s doubtful I suffered long. Do not try to find me – the path is too perilous, and I am lost to the mortal plane.” When Alex and Ozzie read their grandfather’s latest “death” letter, they barely blink. Dying six times in two years has to be a record, even for an explorer as incompetent as Sir Quidby Forsythe III. Faster than you can say “kidnapped by a giant, glowing lizard,” the Forsythe twins are dragged into a world of ancient prophecies, sarcastic swords of legend, mutant slime beasts, and a growing awareness their grandfather might be the greatest explorer in history. With Skhaar the Annihilator hot on their trail, Ozzie and Alex must solve the mystery of Sir Quidby’s disappearance before they become the final victims of the Forsythe Curse.
