A flu epidemic ushers in a plague of dark magic in this spooktastic mystery featuring teenage sleuth Johnny Dixon from The Wrath of the Grinning Ghost. Though forty miles away, Duston Heights is not safe from the flu that’s raging through Boston. When Johnny Dixon’s grandmother falls ill, he’s sent to live with his neighbor to avoid infection. So many locals are getting sick that school is canceled for a week, and the reclusive Dr. Abram Ashburn comes out of retirement to make house calls. After seeing a scary vision of his bedridden grandmother outside of a window, Johnny starts to feel on edge. Then he and his best friend find what looks to be a weird map of a cemetery in Dr. Ashburn’s house. One specific grave is marked with an “X,” the burial place of a woman who practiced witchcraft in the seventeenth century. The townspeople recover from the flu, but they can’t escape the terrifying illusions and shadow people that now haunt them, unless Johnny and his friends find the key to unlock the secrets of the graveyard before a dreadful prophecy comes to pass . . . Praise for The Wrath of the Grinning Ghost “Fans of the series will enjoy this new supernatural adventure, which reads so much like Bellairs’s books that they won’t believe he didn’t write it.” —School Library Journal “Strickland’s story is eerie, suspenseful, and true to the personalities and writing style of Bellairs, who began the Johnny Dixon series . . . This is good reading for adventure enthusiasts as well as for series fans.” —Booklist

In the heart of 19th-century Southern Africa, the might of the British Empire prepares to clash with the proud Zulu Kingdom. It is January 1879, and an ultimatum, designed to be rejected, sets the stage for a war intended to be a swift, surgical strike to secure colonial dominance. Lord Chelmsford, leading Her Majesty’s forces, marches into Zululand expecting little resistance. But King Cetshwayo and his disciplined impi have other plans, rooted in a fierce determination to protect their ancestral lands and way of life. Drums of Defiance: A Zulu War Story unfolds this epic conflict through the intertwined fates of four unforgettable characters: Lieutenant Alistair Davies, a young officer with the 24th Regiment, whose imperial idealism is shattered by the brutal realities of colonial warfare and the shocking defeat at Isandlwana; Sipho kaSenzangakhona, a Zulu youth initiated into the iNgobamakhosi regiment, who experiences the ecstatic triumph of Isandlwana and the crushing despair of later defeats like Kambula; Eleanor Ainsworth, a tenacious London journalist, fighting for access and truth amidst military censorship and colonial prejudice, determined to report the unvarnished story of the war’s folly and its human cost; and Nomusa, a gifted Zulu diviner, whose harrowing visions of red ants, a black bull, and a darkened sun foretell both the staggering Zulu victory and its immense, tragic price. From the strategic blunders and misplaced confidence of the British command to the sophisticated military tactics and spiritual fervor of the Zulu warriors, the narrative plunges into the heart of iconic battles – Isandlwana, Rorke’s Drift, Kambula, and the final, devastating confrontation at Ulundi. Witness the courage of soldiers and warriors alike, the political machinations driving the conflict, the resilience of those caught in its path, and the desperate struggles for survival. Drums of Defiance: A Zulu War Story is a monumental historical epic that explores the clash of empires, the weight of prophecy, the search for meaning amidst carnage, and the enduring echoes of a war that humbled a global power and forever changed the destiny of a continent. It is a story of valor and folly, of triumph and tragedy, and of the day the sun itself seemed to mourn the terrible washing of the spears.

India, 185 BCE. The vast Mauryan Empire, legacy of Ashoka the Great, is crumbling. Its borders shrink under pressure from ambitious neighbors and fierce Yavana (Indo-Greek) invaders surging from the Bactrian kingdoms in the northwest. Its administration falters. Its army lacks direction. And on the ancient Lion Throne in Pataliputra sits Emperor Brihadratha, weak, indecisive, lost in palace luxuries while his inheritance disintegrates. Watching the decay with growing impatience and iron resolve is his Commander-in-Chief, the formidable Puṣyamitra Śuṅga – a brilliant strategist, a veteran soldier, and a devout Brahmin who believes the Mauryan deviation from ancient Vedic Dharma is the root of the realm's weakness. Seeing no other path to salvation, Pushyamitra commits the ultimate treason. During a grand military review, he strikes down his master in full view of the army, declaring the end of the Mauryan line and the dawn of his own Shunga dynasty. But seizing power is merely the first act in a desperate struggle for survival. Pushyamitra must immediately consolidate his rule against loyalist remnants and treacherous court factions. He faces relentless invasions led by formidable Indo-Greek kings like Menander, who besiege sacred cities like Saketa and threaten the capital itself. He must quell internal rebellions, like that of the defiant King Yajnasena in Vidarbha, a task entrusted to his capable son, Prince Agnimitra. To legitimize his bloody rise and rally support, Pushyamitra embraces the ancient ways his Mauryan predecessors discouraged. He revives the spectacular and perilous Ashvamedha horse sacrifice, not once, but twice, asserting his sovereignty through Vedic ritual, guided by Brahmin priests and scholars like the great grammarian Patanjali. He champions Sanskrit and traditional law, forging a new Shunga identity grounded in Brahmanical orthodoxy, even as the popular Buddhist faith proves resilient, its art flourishing at centres like Sanchi. "The Brahmin General" brings to life a pivotal, forgotten era of Indian history through the eyes of one of its most controversial and consequential figures. It is an epic saga of ambition, betrayal, warfare, political intrigue, religious revival, and the enduring struggle for power and legitimacy in the ashes of a fallen empire. Can Pushyamitra Shunga save Magadha from chaos, or will the violence of his rise consume his own dynasty?

Before the Mahabharata, the fate of ancient India was forged in fire and flood. On the banks of the sacred Parushni river, King Sudas of the Bharatas, driven by ambition and guided by the wise Sage Vashishta, faces an unprecedented threat: ten tribes united against him. Orchestrating this vast coalition is the powerful, vengeful Sage Vishwamitra, nursing a bitter rivalry and promising divine justice to the proud chieftain Kavasha and his allies. As armies clash and the very rivers become weapons, Sudas grapples with the terrible cost of victory, haunted by the choices demanded by gods and kingship. Amidst the carnage, the young chanter Arya seeks a different path, her visions guiding her towards fragile hopes of peace and reconciliation. Drawn from the most ancient hymns of the Rigveda, Battle of Ten Kings: A Vedic Epic plunges readers into a world of warring tribes, clashing sages, divine interventions, and the epic struggle to build a kingdom – and perhaps a lasting peace – from the ashes of devastating conflict.
