Book excerpt: When a traveling peddler discovers the murder of a farm family in colonial North Carolina whose bodies have been left in bizarre positions, circumstances point to an Indian attack. But Harry Woodyard, a young planter who is the volunteer constable of Craven County during a period in America's past when there was no professional police force, finds clues that seem to indicate otherwise. The county establishment wants to blame the crime on a former inhabitant, an elderly Indian who has suddenly reappeared in the vicinity like an old ghost. But he is a person to whom Harry owes much. Defying the authorities, Harry goes off on his own to find the real killer. His investigation takes him up the Atlantic seacoast and turns into a hunt for even bigger quarry and more adventure then he ever dreamed possible. During his search for the truth about the murders, Harry learns that the eyes are not always to be trusted and people are not always as they seem.

This book was released on 2019-05-27 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the early 12th century, the world enjoys its Fourth Age of Magic. Seas churn at the flick of a wrist and the dead rise from the ground at a beckoned call. Monsters stalk the land and demons lie in wait in every shadow. In the waning years of such an age, two sibling sorcerers and each of their fanatical armies vie for control over the planet. Constable Tarthadius seeks out the power to turn the tides of war and send the world into an Endless Age in one fell swoop. Such a power, he suspects, lies within The Grand Hall of Iniquity, the world's most well kept secret. Inside are held captured horrors, feral nightmares, and the darkest of arcane artifacts pilfered from every corner of the globe. Getting inside is the hard part. Finding want you want is even harder. And getting out is next to impossible.

What is her place in the sinister mystery that surrounds her? Even as the wind and wolves howl outside, is she more in danger now, a prisoner of the palace, than she ever was lost in the snow?
