Something is stalking Thea Sotiris.And it doesn't belong in Chicago.Twenty-eight year old Thea may not have a strong connection to her family lineage, but when monstrous creatures and strange voices plague her dreams, she can't help but wonder if she is going crazy. Just like her mother did.But when Matthew, a homeless man with a past more clouded than her own enters her life, he not only believes her dreams, but he can see the very creatures that hunt her. To find the answers Thea seeks, they must embark on a journey together, which entangles their futures more than either one of them can predict. As they draw closer to their answers, they find that the most logical explanation for all of it is the scariest.That Thea isn't from Chicago . . . or Earth.That Thea isn't human at all.This is the first book in the multi-book series, A Child of Light."A beautiful love story involving an imaginative and magical realm. The book pulls you in from the beginning. Thea is destined for greatness!" - Liz Dulac, Advanced Reader"Meet Thea, the independent, sassy and hard working protagonist who stands up for herself and for others without a second thought. Thea's used to being on her own and handling what comes her way, but when she starts seeing creatures that are not of this world, she begins questioning her own sanity. That is, until she meets a mysterious stranger who not only believes her, but knows exactly what she's seeing. She forms a fast and furious bond with this mystery man who she dubs "Matthew", and the two decide to figure out exactly why and how these beings from another realm came to be here.I really enjoyed this book! I absolutely could not put it down and I devoured it in one sitting. Though I started off loving Thea, I was not her biggest fan by the end of the book. I loved how tenacious and outspoken she was, but it goes to show that sometimes our strengths can be our weaknesses as well. A loud mouth can be a wonderful thing at the right time and place, but Thea has yet to master the art of knowing when and where to spout off. With that being said, I loved her connection with "Matthew". Well, I loved Matthew. He was all of my celebrity crushes jammed into one massive package and I was thrilled! As soon as we were introduced to him, it was game over for me and I knew I was pulling an all-nighter. I loved unraveling themysteries with these characters and I am very excited to see where the next installment in the series takes us!" - Lindsay Hall, Advanced Reader

“Books alter men, and men, in their turn, alter worlds.” Soter is a man who has been haunted by World War I. But when he’s sent to investigate the disappearance of Lionel Maudling, the owner of a grand country house whose heir may be accused for his death, he encounters a home that will lead him to nightmares he could have never imagined.

What Soter finds at the end of a twisted maze of clues is a book like no other, with a legacy that will put everything he knows in danger… An inventive horror novella from internationally bestselling author John Connolly, this is a story of madness, of obsession, and of books’ power to change the world.

In The Unseen Realm, Dr. Michael Heiser examines the ancient context of Scripture, explaining how its supernatural worldview can help us grow in our understanding of God. He illuminates intriguing and amazing passages of the Bible that have been hiding in plain sight. You'll find yourself engaged in an enthusiastic pursuit of the truth, resulting in a new appreciation for God's Word. Why wasn't Eve surprised when the serpent spoke to her? How did descendants of the Nephilim survive the flood? Why did Jacob fuse Yahweh and his Angel together in his prayer? Who are the assembly of divine beings that God presides over? In what way do those beings participate in God's decisions? Why do Peter and Jude promote belief in imprisoned spirits? Why does Paul describe evil spirits in terms of geographical rulership? Who are the "glorious ones" that even angels dare not rebuke? After reading this book, you may never read your Bible the same way again. Endorsements "There is a world referred to in the Scripture that is quite unseen, but also quite present and active. Michael Heiser's The Unseen Realm seeks to unmask this world. Heiser shows how important it is to understand this world and appreciate how its contribution helps to make sense of Scripture. The book is clear and well done, treating many ideas and themes that often go unseen themselves. With this book, such themes will no longer be neglected, so read it and discover a new realm for reflection about what Scripture teaches." --Darrell L. Bock, Executive Director for Cultural Engagement, Senior Research Professor of New Testament Studies, Howard G. Hendricks Center for Christian Leadership and Cultural Engagement "'How was it possible that I had never seen that before?' Dr. Heiser's survey of the complex reality of the supernatural world as the Scriptures portray it covers a subject that is strangely sidestepped. No one is going to agree with everything in his book, but the subject deserves careful study, and so does this book." --John Goldingay, David Allan Hubbard Professor of Old Testament, School of Theology, Fuller Theological Seminary "This is a 'big' book in the best sense of the term. It is big in its scope and in its depth of analysis. Michael Heiser is a scholar who knows Scripture intimately in its ancient cultural context. All--scholars, clergy, and laypeople--who read this profound and accessible book will grow in their understanding of both the Old and New Testaments, particularly as their eyes are opened to the Bible's 'unseen world.'" --Tremper Longman III, Robert H. Gundry Professor of Biblical Studies, Westmont College
