The Dark Ages Clan Novel Saga is a 13-volume series of novels set in the world of Dark Ages: Vampire, released by White Wolf from 2002 to the end of 2004. The series begins with Dark Ages Clan Novel 1: Nosferatu and ends with Dark Ages Clan Novel 13: Tzimisce. Inspired by the original modern-day Clan Novel Saga for Vampire: The Masquerade, this series begins with the end of the original Vampire: The Dark Ages era and continued into the time-frame of Dark Ages: Vampire.The 13 novels are written from the POV of one clan each during the turbulence that swept through the mortal and Cainite societies of Europe following the fall of Constantinople in the Fourth Crusade. These novels, unlike the original Clan Novel Series, are chronological, happening one after the other rather than overlapping.Dark Ages Clan Novel #5 Lasombra:The Fate of the Second RomeThe situation in Constantinople has degenerated into sheer chaos, as vampires of every stripe prey on the ruined metropolis. Lucita, the young envoy of Clan Lasombra, is caught in the middle and cut off from her elders in Europe. Alone, she faces the impossible task of making the city her own, lest she become another victim in the War of Princes.Dark Ages: Lasombra continues the epic thirteen-part series of Dark Ages Clan Novels, chronicling a vast conflict among the vampires of the Middle Ages.

When the sensors of the U.S.S. Voyager detect abundant plant life on an unexplored planet, Captain Janeway leads an Away Team in search of fresh food supplies. They find lavish gardens inhabited by an enigmatic alien race that holds the gardens sacred. The fragrent blossoms are beautiful, enticing -- and far more dangerous than they appear. One by one, the Away Team begins to fall into deep comas from which they cannot be revived. Unwilling to spread the affliction to Voyager, the Away Team is trapped on the planet until a cure can be found, but their investigation is perceived as desecration by the devout worshippers of the gardens. Pursued by a fanactical mob, slowly succumbing to the insidious effect of the blossoms, Janeway faces either a violent death -- or an endless sleep.

There are incidents and emergencies in the world that defy logical explanation, events that could be defined as supernatural, extraterrestrial, or simply otherworldly. Standard laws do not allow for such instances, nor are most officials or authorities trained to handle them. In recognition of these facts, one organization has been created that can. Assembled by a loose international coalition, their mission is to deal with these situations using diplomacy, guile, force, and strategy as necessary. They shield the rest of the world from their own actions, and clean up the messes left in their wake. They are our protection, our guide, our sword, and our voice, all rolled into one.They are O.C.L.T.Nothing is ever normal in Old Mill, NC, particularly when Cletus J. Diggs and his buddy Jasper decide to go fishing. When Jasper tells him two fishermen they know saw a dinosaur in The Great Dismal Swamp, Cletus is ready to chock it up to shadows and too much beer. When he and Jasper are out fishing themselves and find a bass boat jammed nose first into the bottom of the Perquimans River with nothing left of the other two men but a boot with a leg protruding from it and one big-assed track in the mud, things get serious.Joined by Geoffrey Bullfinch, Wendell "e;Mack"e; Macklemore, and Isabella Ferrara of the O.C.L.T., two genetic scientists with a strange story of hurricanes and DNA splicing, and a strange cast of others (including a very loud cockatiel)- Cletus has to solve the mystery of where the monster killing people in the swamp came from, where it's gone and find a way to stop it before it kills again. Unfortunately for the team, taking down a forty foot sixteen ton dinosaur no one believes in is no easy task, and the clock is ticking...This is the Fifth book in the O.C.L.T. series, following the novella "e;Brought to Light,"e; By Aaron Rosenberg, the novel "e;The Parting,"e; by David Niall Wilson, the novella "e;The Temple of Camazotz,"e; also by David Niall Wilson, and the novel "e;Incursion,"e; by Aaron Rosenberg (in which the existence of the O.C.L.T. as a cohesive unit is finalized).

Reverend Gideon Swayne took off from a small community church in Illinois to go South. The slaves had been free, and he knew they needed someone to bring them the word of the Lord. He was called.What he didn't bargain for was the attitude of the former slave owners of Old Mill, North Carolina, a swamp-witch named Desdemona, and a life that would challenge not only his faith, but his sanity.

A young girl, Andrea Jamieson, loses her father who is trying to rescue a neighbor during a hurricane. She grows up to become a hurricane "e;hunter"e; and through her own efforts and those of her husband and colleagues accidentally creates the largest hurricane in history. Then it disappears in the Devil's ( Bermuda ) Triangle. So does her husband, flying over the storm to drop Silver Iodide crystals into the eye. Then, 30 years later, the storm – and the plane, are back. Andrea has a new weapon, a series of pumps, that might stop or divert the storm, but there's little time, and all she really wants to do is track that plane that's been gone so long and reunite with her long-lost husband.

First published in 1999, This is My Blood is David Niall Wilson's first and most important novel. It is a retelling of the gospel from a very different perspective. When Jesus goes into the desert and is tempted by the devil, there is one temptation added. One of the fallen is raised as a woman to tempt him with the flesh. Instead, the woman, named Mary of Magdalene, falls in love with Jesus and his promise of returning her to Heaven.Cursed to follow him and drink the blood of his followers, Mary walks a fine line between her desire to love and support the Christ, and her burning need to return to Heaven. This novel takes the world of faith, which was the world of men, and of the apostles, and shows it through the eyes of a fallen angel – one who has, in her own words, walked the roads of both Heaven, and Hell. She doesn't believe there is a God…she knows.Faithful to the storyline of the original gospels, only weaving in new things when there are gaps in the old, this is a novel of faith, redemption, and ultimate sacrifice.PRAISE FOR THIS IS MY BLOOD"e;Wilson's tale is enchanting, deeply religious without being judgmental or hypocritical. Beautifully written, it's definitely worth the cost and the time to read. Highly recommended for budding digital collections."e; - Michelle Lee"e;While rooted in the realm of horror & dark fantasy, This is My Blood is in reality a personal journey more complete and deeper then nearly anything I've read. It's been an incredible experience for me, and I believe it will be for you if you take a leap of faith on it."e; - Steve Dawes - FlamesRising.com

In Random, Illinois, not much has changed in the last century. Things there move more slowly than they do in the city. At times, history seems to be moving in reverse. That's how it seems; some folks would say that's how it is.For Jason, Frank, Ronnie and Lizzy, there are bits and pieces of the past that won't go away. Not in the daylight world, and not in their dreams. They shared a secret, a bond of silence and guilt. They shared the memory of an old woman's dry, crackling voice, the heat and sizzling terror of flames beyond their control, and the mesmerizing image of a handful of bones.Roll Them Bones is a story of closure. It is a twisting, twining mystery that refuses to make sense, bringing four children who'd grown apart in adulthood back for one last chapter. Halloween Past—Halloween present—and who's to say which is more real?Her eyes Haunt them.Her voice follows them through their nightmares.The flames lick up from below with the slow promise of destruction."e;For an evil heart, no deed atones, to know the future? Roll them bones…"e;

The Tales of the Scattered Earth:Once, long ago, there was one Earth. It was said that many deities gazed down upon it protectively, and there was balance between them all. Then something went wrong. The balance shifted—toward darkness. Earth was shattered, her people destroyed, her remains scattered far and wide. But the gods survived the cataclysm. They scattered as well, each pursuing a fragment of their former domain. And, when they overtook those shards, the gods drew upon what power remained to them to restore their worshippers to life.These new followers rose from dust and imperfect memory, for the gods too had been injured. Each claimed a new home, and a new life, and each thought itself—at least at first—to be the only Earth. All memory of their former world was lost, except vague memories of the gods who gave them new life. Then, one day, a single great event drew all their eyes to the stars—and beyond. And each of them felt a yearning. Something in them desired to be whole again, or at least to understand.These are their stories.These are The Tales of the Scattered Earth.The Second Veil: When Euphrankes Holmynn, Captain of the Airship Vector, approaches the High Council with a plan for launching an airship through The Second Veil, an energy barrier that has protected their planet since the beginning of their collective memories, he is dismissed and banished from the city. The Second Veil, and the First, which is made up of the domed cities and shielded roads of their planet, are the only things protecting the shrinking resources that keep them all alive. When the priests in the Chamber of Stars spot a flaming, alien object on a collision course with their planet, and the city of Urv itself, everything changes; such a disaster could kill thousands.Armed with a brilliant mind and a miraculous new technology, Euphrankes and his team, along with Maester Zins of the airship Axis, must combine forces with the High Council and find a way to save their city, and their planet from a threat unlike any they've ever encountered. The Second Veil is the second novel in The Tales of the Scattered Earth. Filled with fast action, and steampunk technology, this second novel in the popular new series Tales of the Scattered Earth is a perfect follow on to Aaron Rosenberg's "e;Birth of the Dread Remora,"e; widening the over-all story arc of the series. These novels are stand-alone works - they do not need to be read in order.The Second Veil is the second full-length novel in The Tales of the Scattered Earth, joining Aaron Rosenberg's The Birth of the Dread Remora, The Honor of the Dread Remora, and Crossed Paths, and Keith R. A. DeCandido's Guilt in Innocence. Each author begins with their own world, their own culture, their own story...but there is something out there...something that will draw them altogether. Watch for more from these authors, as well as a brand new world and novel from award-winning author Melissa Scott in the summer of 2014.

"e;She died,"e; Chessie said. "e;She died, rose, and nearly died again. She comes. The crows know her – the crows guide her. She follows the sound of a crying child. She follows the drag of un-kept promises on her heart."e; – Chessie – Hallowed Ground"e;They came in the night with their creak-wheeled wagons and patchwork tents, rolling down through the gulch and up the other side to pitch camp. In Rookwood, they called it 'Dead man's Gulch,' and in Rookwood, names were important. If you walked too far through that God-forsaken, dust-drowned ditch, you were bound to drag your boots through bones. If you felt something sharp dig into your heel, it could be a tooth taking a last bite of something hot and living. The Deacon stood in silent shadows watching their progress, occasionally glancing up into the pale, inadequate light of the waning moon."e;When a man known only as The Deacon set up camp outside Rookwood, a murder of crows took to unnatural, moonlit flight. The crows came to Rookwood; trouble soon to follow. Things were already strange in that God-forsaken town, but no one could have predicted the forces and fates about to meet in a dust-bowl clearing in the desert. A Preacher. A Demon. An Angel. A Gunslinger.A bargain with the darkness was signed in blood, and broken, and as such deals usually do, it went south. Now the fate of lost lovers, faith healers, ancient Gods and the Devil himself collide in a circle of wagons tended by the damaged and deformed, the saved and the shorn. There's a power come to Rookwood, and this one-horse town is about to be transformed. Such deals are only made and broken…on Hallowed Ground.From Steven Savile, International bestselling author of Silver, The Last Angel, and The Sufferer's Song, and David Niall Wilson, Bram Stoker Award-winner David Niall Wilson, author of Deep Blue, This is My Blood, & Heart of a Dragon, comes a tale of the old west, magic, enlightenment and damnation readers have said is like Stephen King's The Gunslinger meets Daniel Knauf's CarnivaleAuthor's Introduction to the 2014 EditionThis is not a typical western. If you are looking for a lot of gunfights, tobacco spitting, and cattle rustling, this is the wrong book. What we set out to do in Hallowed Ground is to create a layered, complex fantasy set against a backdrop of the old west. You have your snake-oil salesman, your gunslinger, young lovers, wandering characters you'll no doubt recognize from mythology, or legend, integrated into a single novel.No one in Hallowed Ground is exactly who, or what, they seem. You have to keep up with the varied storylines – they all meet in the end, and they are all important. You'll meet Lilith, and the fates, angels and devils, and though each will have an air of familiarity, they aren't exactly as you'll find them anywhere else.We are hoping to carry this on into a series – we have tentatively outlined a book based on Sam Hill – as in the saying, "e;What in the Sam Hill?"e; – explaining some of the legend and fact behind the phrase, and drawing our characters into yet another strange, surreal adventure.We hope you'll enjoy this book, and if you do, we hope you'll leave us a comment, or a review.Welcome to Rookwood…David Niall Wilson & Steven SavilePraise for Hallowed Ground:"e;A surreal, pulp school, darkly fantastic oater that sets all the elements of your favorite western tropes on their ears (and noses, foreheads, and asses)."e;--Tom Piccirilli, author of Nightjack, The Cold Spot, and The Fever Kill."e;Steven Savile and David Niall Wilson have produced a fine entry in the burgeoning Weird Western genre. Elegantly written, bristling with action and drama, HALLOWED GROUND is intelligent, thought-provoking, and highly entertaining. Readers of both Westerns and horror novels shouldn't miss it!"e; -- James Reasoner, author of REDEMPTION, KANSAS

There was a time when pie was more important. Fat, fruit-stuffed confections lined the booths at state and county fairs, cooled in the windows of kitchens across the world, sprouted blackbirds in nursery rhymes and rose to iconic glory as a symbol of goodness and patriotism. That was then. Pies, as so many other things, have been in a slump for quite a while. This book - American Pies - is one man's attempt to restore them to their former glory, at least for his family.Contained in this book are a short history of pies, along with shared memories of growing up in 1950s, 60s, and 70s America, making stops at every pastry-coated fruity treat along the way. There is baking - the author baked a total of 13 pies in preparing the book, including the soon to be famous "e;American Pie"e; shown on the cover - a pie that should become a FOURTH OF JULY FAVORITE. Along the way he shares bits of his life, some dry humor, and a whole lot of useful tips and tricks for baking the perfect fresh-fruit pie.From the preface: "e;Pie is important to me, and not just because I like to eat it. It's part of my past, my history, my family, and in some ways it's important to the our heritage, and our country. At least, it used to be important. Now what serves as pie in most cases is a 9"e; cardboard box with something inside that is more like a fat toaster pastry than a pie, pre-cooked and heated up to be half-eaten and catch flies in the kitchen after holiday meals. These, I am happy to say, are not the pies of my childhood, or my memory. I needed to bring it back full circle. I needed to find the pies that I remembered, to learn how to make them and bake them and serve them up to my family. In a world where things grow more generic and cookie-cutter by the day, I needed to make a stand..."e; - David Niall WilsonAmerican Pies contains instructions and recipes for Persimmon, Pear, Mango, Pineapple, Grape, Honey-Crisp Apple, Nectarine, Plum, Strawberry and Raspberry Pies, plus the recipe for the "e;American Pie"e; itself. Each recipe has been tested - and the results consumed. As a special bonus, "e;The Pie Bloke"e; from across the water, Darren Pulsford, has added in metric and Imperial measurements, as well as celsius temperature settings for ovens.ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David Niall Wilson is the author of more than thirty books, including The DeChance Chronicles, Sins of the Flash, This is My Blood, Defining Moments, Stargate Atlantis: Brimstone (With Patricia Lee Macomber) and the recently released (and acclaimed) Hallowed Ground with Steven Savile.

A San Valencez Mystery featuring Tommy Doyle:Christian Greve was a man on a collision course with destiny. He spent his days taking graduation pictures, glamour shots, and baby pictures, and dreaming of the day when the world would praise him for his talent. Christian was an artist, but there was one problem.All of the models he's ever photographed have worked against him. They changed his careful poses. They tilted their head to ruin the source of lighting, or twisted their features slightly. He knew it was their fault, because the visions in his head - the images he intended - were pristine and perfect, down to the tiniest detail. He'd learned makeup the hard way from an abusive, chemically addicted mother who turned tricks and made him part of the show.Now he's found another way to perfect his art - and a new partner in agent, entrepreneur Hiram Gates.When a string of dead models, their makeup eerie and beautiful, start turning up, Tommy Doyle and his partner, Big "e;Mac"e; Markum are called in. Doyle has spent most of his life chasing down psychos. He has a reputation for hating the press, and an innate ability to enter the darker side of the city, and bring the crazies to justice. Can he stop this new, apparently motive-less string of killings before the body count rises too high for his own sanity?This is a San Valencez Mystery, set in David Niall Wilson's fictional city of San Valencez, California - a place just left of reality, where nothing is ever quite as it seems. Look for other novels set in San Valencez, including the successful dark fantasy series The DeChance Chronicles, and the supernatural thrillers Deep Blue, On The Third Day, and Ancient Eyes.This is the first full length Tommy Doyle novel, following on the success of his debut in the novelette "e;Burning Bridges,"e; published in the anthology "e;All Hell Breaking Loose."e;CROSSROAD PRESS brings you a wide variety of fiction, from mystery and thrillers, to horror,dark fantasy, science fiction, mainstream and new original series products.
