Legendary storyteller Stephen King goes into the deepest well of his imagination in this spellbinding novel about a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war, and the stakes could not be higher-for that world or ours. Charlie Reade looks like a regular high school kid, great at baseball and football, a decent student. But he carries a heavy load. His mom was killed in a hit-and-run accident when he was ten, and grief drove his dad to drink. Charlie learned how to take care of himself-and his dad.

Nevada Baylor has a unique and secret skill--she knows when people are lying. But her new case pits her against the shadowy forces that almost destroyed Houston once before, bringing her back into contact with Connor "Mad" Rogan. And now the stakes are even higher.

Just when Nevada Baylor has finally come to accept the depths of her magical powers, she also realizes she's fallen in love. Connor "Mad" Rogan is in many ways her equal when it comes to magic, but she's completely out of her elements when it comes to her feelings for him. To make matters more complicated, an old flame comes back into Rogan's life.

Ever since Domitian Argenis recognized Sarita as his life mate, he's been waiting for the perfect moment to claim her. Those fantasies did not include them being held hostage by a mad scientist.

Valerie Moyer doesn't believe in vampires--until she is kidnapped by a fanged psychopath. After escaping, she finds herself under the protection of the darkly handsome Anders. Not only is she expected to accept that Anders is immortal--but also that she is destined to be his life mate.

With immortal good looks and scorching charisma, Justin Bricker has yet to meet a woman he can't win over. His potential life mate should be no different. But instead, Holly Bosley runs away and ends up mortally wounded. To save her, he has to turn her.

To save her sister's wedding, Catalina will have to do the thing she fears most: use her magic. But she's a Baylor, and there's nothing she wouldn't do for her sister's happiness.

One woman must place her trust in a seductive, dangerous man who sets off an even more dangerous desire.
