The devils aren't in the details. They're in my bed...When my warlock foster father trades me to demons for his outstanding debts, I find myself in Hell on Earth. I'm thrust into a supernatural underground crime ring I can't get out of, eternally bound in a contract I never made.Three hot-as-hell demons stand in between me and my freedom.A tattooed, brutish Hellhound shifter. An incubus with the power to bend wills on command. And the heir to Lucifer's throne-the original sin demon, Pride, himself. I have to find a way out of the deal before they devour me, body and soul.But I'm no angel. There's something inside me, something that craves the chaotic darkness these demons possess.Escaping may mean giving in to Hell's more sinful temptations. But playing with fire only hurts if you get burned...

It is 1895 and the future depends not upon the actions of governments but upon those of the Adventuring Companies, and will be shaped by countless engagements in city streets, ancient ruins, dense jungles, high mountains and boundless deserts. In America, good men fight to preserve their hard-won liberty and the great drive west is stalled by Native American mystics and powerful outlaw gangs. In Africa, native forces fight to push back the Pax Britannica – no longer is a Lee-Metford rifle and a disciplined resolve enough to put the foe to flight. In Europe, darkness gathers around the Austro-Hungarian court and the Great Powers watch warily, knowing its fall could precipitate a war to end all wars. Heroes, Villains and Fiends presents new Companies, from the rebellious Zulu and Apache to the spies of the Okhrana and Secret Service, and the mysterious forces of such groups as the Knights Templar and the sinister Hellfire Club. With equipment, Talents and Mystical Powers, additional scenarios and a sample campaign, Heroes, Villains and Fiends opens up new possibilities for In Her Majesty's Name.

An elite Marine special operations team, a battle to save downed soldiers in Afghanistan, a fight for survival—an incredible true story of war that became a New York Times bestseller. In Level Zero Heroes, Michael Golembesky follows the members of U.S. Marine Special Operations Team 8222 on their assignment to the remote and isolated Taliban stronghold known as Bala Murghab as they conduct special operations in an effort to break the Taliban's grip on the Valley. What started out as a routine mission changed when two 82nd Airborne Paratroopers tragically drowned in the Bala Murghab River while trying to retrieve vital supplies from an air drop that had gone terribly wrong. In this one moment, the focus and purpose of the friendly forces at Forward Operating Base Todd, where Team 8222 was assigned, was forever altered as a massive clearing operation was initiated to break the Taliban's stranglehold on the valley and recover the bodies. From close-quarters firefights in Afghan villages to capturing key-terrain from the Taliban in the unforgiving Afghan winter, this intense and personal story depicts the brave actions and sacrifices of MSOT 8222. Readers will understand the hopelessness of being pinned down under a hail of enemy gunfire and the quake of the earth as a 2000 lb. guided bomb levels a fortified Taliban fighting position. A powerful and moving story of Marine Operators doing what they do best, Level Zero Heroes brings to life the mission of these selected few that fought side-by-side in Afghanistan, in a narrative as action-packed and emotional as anything to emerge from the Special Operations community contribution to the Afghan War.

Seventeen-year-old singer Juliet Belford is irritated by her father's reticence regarding his service in the airforce during World War II, but with secrets of her own concerning an abusive stepfather, she tries to ignore it. However, her ignorance proves embarrassing during a weekend visit to a small western town for the dedication of a memorial to her father's former crewmate: she is told Martin Mansfield saved her father's life. Remembering how easily he let her mother go, she wonders if her father is perhaps a coward. During the weekend, Juliet worries that she might be replaced in the band and fights her attraction to the hero's son Christian, who is engaged to be married. She's also shocked by his mother's attempts to ensnare her father, Tony, while accusing her of flirting. In addition, there's the weird behaviour of Christian's grandfather to think about and she senses a mystery around the death of his wife, Mary. Can she solve it? And, if she does, will it somehow help Juliet find the courage to speak out about her stepfather?
