Daniel Temple is a retired SAS officer and the silent partner in Mead Associates, a security advisory service established with his old CO and friend Richard Mead. All he wants is a normal life - but, unbeknown to Daniel, Richard has been engaged in some shady dealings with the Russian mafia, which lead to the abduction of his daughters, Elizabeth and Jennifer. Taken to Russia, the girls are plunged into the dark and sordid world of human trafficking and sexual slavery, pawns in a power struggle between Bosnian war criminal Zoran Durakovic and Russian Mafia boss, Sergei Kozlov. In desperation, Richard Mead turns to Daniel Temple, the only man he trusts to find his daughters and bring them home alive. Armed with only his skills, training, ice-cold nerve and a rudimentary plan, Daniel tracks down the girls and goes in alone to the Bosnian stronghold of Durakovic. He is presented with a deal he cannot refuse – assassinate Sergei Kozlov and rescue the girls and Richard Mead’s debt will be considered paid in full.Daniel wins favour with the evil Sergei Kozlov, becoming a hired gun in the escalating mafia power struggle. Infiltrating the heart of the organisation, Daniel cleverly begins to turn the tables, pitting Kozlov against Durakovic. But before he can implement the final part of his plan, Daniel meets a new member of Kozlov’s team, Karl Mertz, ex-German special forces and someone he recognises. Knowing his cover is blown, Daniel starts a desperate race against time. Freeing Elizabeth and Jennifer, they flee on foot through the freezing Russian winter. Evading capture, Daniel leads the girls safety. But this time, Kozlov is one step ahead and Daniel is forced to abandon their escape route. Cornered, injured and unarmed in the frozen Russian wilderness, he prepares to make his final stand...

About The Daughter of Perdition: The final installment of The Dark Angel Trilogy, THE DAUGHTER OF PERDITION resumes where The Handmaiden of Death left off, following the deepening relationship between Fortis and Amber, who embarks on a journey of self-discovery amid new trials and tribulations, culminating with her choosing a path she never imagined. In praise of THE DAUGHTER OF PERDITION: “Once again, this fledgling author has outdone herself by crafting an incredibly nuanced, intricate tale that rivals her debut novel. Dark, raw, and hauntingly beautiful, final installment of The Dark Angel Trilogy is a coming-of-age story of intense depth and emotion that captures the reader from page one and is guaranteed to thrill paranormal romance fans seeking a fresh take on the vampire genre.”--Bethann Rodgers, The Bookish Maven, A Literary Blog About The Dark Angel Trilogy: The Dark Angel Trilogy is a contemporary coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of a city in decline, and follows the life of Amber Marsden, a wayward teen from a broken home who finds herself orphaned on the frozen streets of present-day Detroit. With nowhere left to turn, she takes shelter amid the ruins, only to discover she is not alone in the dark. Full of deep, symbolic prose, The Dark Angel Trilogy is a fast-paced, character-driven series that delves into the human psyche and is geared toward readers seeking a vampire tale with less ‘sparkle’ and a lot more bite. About the Author: Sarah Stafford writes dark contemporary, genre-bending tales that deviate from the typical haunted house trope of gothic fiction. Expect ample suspense, thrills, and reminders that oftentimes monsters abide within us all. No glittery vampires allowed! Sarah lives in Michigan with her husband and three cats, earned her BA in History from Oakland University, and has traveled extensively throughout much of Europe, Asia, and the USA. She credits her abiding obsession with all things dark and macabre from having spent her childhood summers exploring dark woods, ruined castles, and landscapes shrouded in mystery.

Some oppressed groups fought with guns, some fought in court, some exercised civil disobedience; the Melungeons, however, fought by telling folktales. Whites and blacks gave the name "children of perdition" to mixed Americans during the 300 years that marriage between whites and nonwhites was outlawed. Mixed communities ranked socially below communities of freed slaves although they had lighter skin. To escape persecution caused by the stigma of having African blood, these groups invented fantastic stories of their origins, known generally as "lost colony" legends. From the founding of America, through the American Revolution, the Civil War and World War II, the author documents the histories of several related mixed communities that began in Virginia in 1619 and still exist today, and shows how they responded to racism over four centuries. Conflicts led to imprisonment, whippings, slavery, lynching, gun battles, forced sterilization, and exile--but they survived. America's view of mixing became increasingly intolerant and led to a twentieth-century scheme to forcibly exile U.S. citizens, with as little as ?one drop? of black blood, to Africa even though their ancestors arrived before the Mayflower. Evidence documents the collaboration between American race purists and leading Nazi Germans who perpetrated the Holocaust. The author examines theories of ethnic purity and ethnic superiority, and reveals how mixed people responded to "pure race" myths with origin myths of their own as Nazi sympa-thizers in state and federal government segregated mixed Americans, citing the myth of Aryan supremacy. Finally, Children of Perdition explains why many Americans view mixing as unnatural and shows how mixed people continue to confront the Jim Crow "one drop" standard today.

Words from the Author I am José Miguel Báez, the esoteric and hermetic philosopher of the books, The Theosophy of Twt-Mos Djoser, The Book of Djehuti, La Filosofía Del Libro De Hermes Mercurio Trismegisto, and finally my last work, The Verbum of Hermes Mercurius Ter Maximus for those who are brave enough to read, analyze, critic and learn the mysteries of ancient religions, philosophy, science, astronomy (astrology), chemistry (alchemy) and Theurgy of the ancient Sumerians, Egyptians and Chaldeans to name a few. I am the spiritual and psychical Hermes Mercurius Ter Maximus since I was able to enchant the heavens, speak with the birds of the sky, the animals of the oceans, the beasts of the fields and have communion with the gods and goddesses and observe their formless form behind all forms and become the man inside of the universal form of the highest G-d, a divine and cosmic androgyny. The true "Book of Thoth" is not physical and in your earthly dimensional confinement but it must be searched and found beyond the confinement of your earthly world and dimensional reality of your space-time and when you have vanquished your fears, egos and stop demonizing others more advance than you then, you will find such a book whose wisdom and understanding will open your mind and heart that you may decide to embrace G-d or be defeated by your own impurities and iniquities for only he and she who have a pure heart and spirit in essence may become one with the Absolute All. Do try your best to live a life in harmony with one another, with all life forms, with Nature and the Earth and the divine and cosmic laws since this is my last reincarnation and I will never again return to you to teach you the hidden, concealed and unrevealed wisdom contain in the primordial ocean of divine mind and spirit. I am the sacred and anointed Magi of the divine androgyny, which exists also as an infinite potential and creating force that permeates, sustains, nourishes and contains all things.

When a fifth cousin twice removed calls Bay Tanner - a young, recently widowed, financial consultant - from the Beaufort County Jail, it's no accident. Mercer Mary Prescott spent a lot of time and trouble locating Bay on the family tree, and she needs more than bail out of the relationship. What she's really after is a secret she's not willing to reveal-yet. But when Bay generously takes Mercer back to the family mansion of Presqu'isle, she finds that this distant kin comes with a lot of personal baggage-and some very dangerous pursuers. Before Bay can help straighten out Mercer's problems, the mousy young woman disappears. Now, Bay begins a desperate hunt for her "shirttail" cousin through the twisted alleys of the past, from Civil War days to a plantation called Perdition House and to one last deadly fight.

What happens when a killer who can’t be caught threatens to kill your children next? A town and a mother are forced to confront their worst fears in this hair-raising suspense novel from the author of Roots of Murder. Newly widowed mother Nell McGraw struggles with her outsider status as she runs the newspaper founded by her husband’s grandfather. But a paper can’t turn away from the stories that others ignore, like the body of a child found in the Gulf. At first it seems tragic, a child lost because of carelessness. Then another child goes missing. Disgusted by the turf war between the sheriff and the police chief, Nell barely manages to keep her journalistic distance . . . until the killer contacts her, telling her that her children could be next. Now Nell must match wits with a psychopath who taunts her, daring her and the police to catch him before he can kill again. Praise: "Part mystery, part thriller, part social commentary, and all impossible to put down."—Kirkus Reviews

1977. Disco was blasting across the airwaves and the Bee Gees and Donna Summer reigned supreme. Jimmy Carter assumed the presidency after the debacle of the Nixon administration. Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind hit movie screens and birthed a new exploration of cinematic science fiction while Saturday Night Fever became the biggest dancing movie of all time. Elvis Presley, the King of Rock & Roll, died at age 42. Egypt and Israel made significant progress in peace talks. Serial killer David Berkowitz, the Son of Sam, was captured in New York while another infamous serial killer, Ted Bundy, was still cutting a swath of murders across the country. People were still adjusting to the end of the Vietnam war and looking forward to a new prosperity and social stability. In Providence, Rhode Island, private investigator and Scottish expatriate Nick MacKenzie is inexplicably drawn into a crime mystery when two skeletons fall out of a demolished old house and an investigation opens that reaches back to the era of the Great Depression and Prohibition. As Nick digs deeper into the crime, he uncovers evidence that that takes on a personal meaning. Along the way he acquires new and very unexpected friends as well as an enemy that will do anything to keep the past hidden, even kill. Through strange circumstances Nick also acquires a young foster son with a hidden past. As the mysteries and discoveries progress Nick and his circle become not only fast friends but an odd sort of family that redefines the very concept. He is joined by a gung-ho cop whose professional aspirations take a shocking turn; an elderly man who knows more than he’s saying about the lynchpin year of 1933; an old woman who is far more than she presents to the world; a scion of a mob family that seeks to forge a decent future; and a young lawyer whose personal demons lead him to an unexpected life path. As the end games of the mysteries count down to their climaxes, the only question is – who will survive, and at what cost?

If we knew then, what we know now... Barack Obama would never have won the Presidency of the United States of America. Day of Perdition (336 Pages) reveals the shape of a world that permitted a candidate so far out in the liberal stratosphere to rise to the highest office in a nation that was originally founded on Christian principles. It takes a look at what's on the horizon from a Christian perspective: the New World Order; the Rapture and the rise of the Antichrist. The novel ends with questions as to why we as Christians allowed this to happen and finishes with a call to live a revolutionary Christian life and the hope of our future.
