On the night a strange and beautiful woman captured Isaac's virginity, something happened. It was something dark, unsavory, and unexplainable. On that night, the mysterious woman captured much, much more than a first. Sixteen-year-old Isaac just wanted to see a midnight movie. He didn't expect to meet the woman of his dreams: more beautiful, mature, and intelligent than any of Isaac's high-school crushes, and (best of all) willing to fulfil his fantasies! So what if she didn't have a computer, a phone, a car, or a job? So what if she shares an isolated farmhouse with a half-dozen insatiable, love-crazed people, all aching for her attention? She was ready and willing. That one night was enough, perhaps too much. Isaac resigned himself to never seeing her again and moving on. But is that possible? Will he ever be rid of her? Can he love another? Will she ever release that hold? Or will she be there forever, especially at night, when the wind whistles through the forest and the screech owls cry...

The Amar discovered Earth in 2644 BC, arrogantly taking specimens, human and animal, back to their home world. They also took their doommeasleswhich claimed 89 percent of their population. Cities died; continents died. A single planetary culture arises as the Amar recreate their society. The humans, the sole occupants of a dead continent, survive, reproduce, and create their own society. When discovered, the humans are too numerous to repatriate to Earth. The Amar adopt them into their society. When the Amar can again space-travel, the humans are denied repatriation as, now technologically advanced, they would disrupt the independent development of Earth. Also the Amar are ashamed of their earlier abductions. Yet the humans desire a home of their own. In 1882 the Amar return to Earth, only to establish a clandestine observation facility on the moon. Radio in the early 1900s and later television allow the Amar to remotely study Earth. Observing the damage being done to Earths ecology, scientist Kargon, shocked by the rate of decay, devised a plan of his own to save Earth. Co-opting Amars humans, he promises to unleash viral destruction on Earth. With Earths population decimated and the planets ecology saved, the humans of Amar could return. Kargon and a coconspirator escape, only to crash in outback Australia. Here they are still able to concoct a scenario that will bring about their goal. An Amar recovery team sent to apprehend the renegades meets problems of their own. Aided by Chris and Mark, they arrange their rescue. The encounter terrifies Chris, though Mark burns to visit Amar, using his aid as a bargaining chip to be invited. Mark departs for Amar. Once there, he must negotiate the political machinations and cultural differences while unraveling Kargons plan. Eventually, Mark returns to Earth to discover that Kargon has betrayed his supporters and his virus has been unleashed.

The Great Revolution ended the Highlords’ tyranny two hundred years ago, but the legacy of that epic war, and that of the principal architects’ descendants, lives on. With the Highlords’ death and their taking magic, as it was once known, to their graves, Eidolan fell into a time of darkness and its cities lived in isolation. However, some people, dubbed arcanists, discovered a new form of magic and the airships returned to the skies, rejoining the cities in trade as well as conspiracy, but a new darkness, more dreadful and deadly than any they faced before, is coming. Kiera is a fifteen-year-old nightbird, one of many who flit about after dark, stealing whatever they can find in order to survive. She lives on a derelict airship in the poorest part of the city with Wesley, a young man who plies his trade as an escort to wealthy older women, and his little brother Russel, an autistic savant who communicates only through sign but who could secretly be the most powerful techno-arcanist the empire has ever known. Deep in debt to the Underlord Nimat, Kiera dives into ever more dangerous schemes that puts her at the heart of a war that could spell the destruction of not just the city, but the very empire. Kiera is caught in the center of several factions on the brink of war. When she can no longer tell friend from enemy, there is only one side she can trust—her own.

Murder sparks witchcraft hysteria in this “thoughtful” and “entertaining” seventeenth-century historical mystery from a New York Times–bestselling author (Stephen King). It’s 1699 in the coastal settlement of Fount Royal in the Carolinas when Rachel Howarth is sentenced to be hanged as a witch. She’s been accused of murder, deviltry, and blasphemous sexual congress, and the beleaguered, God-fearing colonial village wants her dead. But Matthew Corbett, young clerk to the traveling magistrate summoned to Fount Royal to weigh the accusations, soon finds himself persuaded in favor of the beguiling young widow. Struck first by her beauty, Matthew believes Rachel to be too dignified, courageous, and intelligent for such obscene charges. The testimony against her is fanatical and unreliable. Clues to the crimes seem too convenient and contrived. A number of her accusers appear to gain by her execution. And, if Rachel is a witch, why hasn’t she used her powers to fly away from the gaol on the wings of a nightbird? God and Satan are indeed at war. Something really is happening in the newly established settlement—of that Corbett is certain. As his investigation draws him into the darkness of a town gone mad, and deeper into its many secrets, Corbett realizes that time is running out for him, for Rachel, and for the hope that good could possibly win out over evil in Fount Royal. From the award-winning author of Boy’s Life and Gone South, Speaks the Nightbird is an “absorbing historical mystery” (Publishers Weekly).

Longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award Anita Rau Badami's acclaimed novel Can You Hear the Nightbird Call? chronicles the stories of three women, linked in love and tragedy, over a span of fifty years, sweeping from the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 to the explosion of Air India flight 182 off the coast of Ireland in 1985. Alive with Badami's warmth and humanity, and brimming with the daily sights and sounds of both Canada and India, this novel brilliantly conveys the tumultuous effects of the past on new immigrants, and the ways in which memory and myth, the personal and the political, become heartrendingly connected.
