In a world of perpetual ice and snow, every day is a struggle to survive; both Isaac and Ezra know this all too well. Known simply as The Collector, Isaac is the almost immortal Hunter for the evil governor of the city. His job is to "collect" items his master desires by any means necessary. Ezra is a young man with a dark secret living on the fringes of society. They seem like an unlikely pair, but when they meet, the burdens that weigh them down seem lifted, if only for a short while. Despite the dark forces trying to tear them apart, they work to find a place for themselves in this world of violence, greed, corruption, and fear.

Sequel to Winged Victory. Zurellius, winged ruler of Valtar, haunts the crystal ruins of the Ancients looking for the cure to his race's survival. During his search he exposed himself to the Ancients' greatest evil. Now his strength grows daily, but his emotions verge on violent insanity. His personal sacrifice will ensure Valtar's survival even though it will cost him his soul and most likely his life. Mona de'Lacy has violated Valtar's forbidden air space to get her listing warship repaired. Her mission: to tell Zurellius his brother and sister-in-law were kidnapped by pirates and to deliver his half-breed niece to him for protection. A constant flame of hatred burns inside Mona. The pirates who attacked Da'tarn killed her husband and son. As soon as her ship is repaired she'll search for the pirate leader Synika and kill him. But Mona doesn't count on Zurellius's threatening beauty or his ominous sexual pull. She's sure her reaction to him is caused by his mesmerizing eyes and compelling voice--the very Valtarie traits that banned his planet of winged vampires from the Alliance. She also hasn't planned on Zurellius insisting he come with her on her mission to rescue Da'tarn's kidnapped residents. During their journey, Zurellius unleashes the evil dwelling within him and becomes the monster that made his race the most feared in the universe. Mona soon realizes she and Zurellius share a bond--they're two damned souls with no hope of salvation. Can Mona open her heart to the demon he has become? Can she bring him back from the brink of Hell? Or will she have to watch him be executed by the Alliance? L.F. Hampton is a Southern California writer living with her husband and two rescued fur babies. She has worked in a variety of careers ranging from library clerk to a major city's first female business license inspector to a nail shop owner. But, her passion is creating new worlds filled with aliens in fantasy situations of intrigue and romance. She has a deep love of anything mystical, and her love of writing is only surpassed by her love of reading.

Systems Biogeochemistry of Major Marine Biomes A comprehensive system-level discussion of the geomicrobiology of the Earth’s oceans In Systems Biogeochemistry of Major Marine Biomes, a team of distinguished researchers delivers a systemic overview of biogeochemistry across a number of major physiographies of the global ocean: the waters and sediments overlying continental margins; the deep sub-surfaces; the Arctic and Antarctic oceans; and the physicochemical extremes such as the hypersaline and sulfidic marine zones, cold methane seeps and hydrothermal ecosystems. The book explores state-of-the-art advances in marine geomicrobiology and investigates the drivers of biogeochemical processes. It highlights the imperatives of the unique, fringe, and cryptic processes while studying the geological manifestations and ecological feedbacks of in situ microbial metabolisms. Taking a holistic approach toward the understanding of marine biogeochemical provinces, this book emphasizes the centrality of culture-dependent and culture-independent (meta-omics-based) microbiological information within a systems biogeochemistry framework. Perfect for researchers and scientists in the fields of geochemistry, geophysics, geomicrobiology, oceanography, and marine science, Systems Biogeochemistry of Major Marine Biomes will also earn a place in the libraries of policymakers and advanced graduate students seeking a one-stop reference on marine biogeochemistry.
