Book Description
FEAR THE DAY In the near future, patches of the northern hemisphere have been shrouded in years of darkness from a nuclear winter, and the water level has risen in the North Atlantic. The island of Manhattan has lost its outer edges to flooding and is now ringed by a large seawall. The darkness and isolation have allowed crime and sin to thrive in the never-ending shadows of the once great city, and when the sun finally begins to reappear, everything gets worse. A serial killer cuts a bloody swath across the city during the initial periods of daylight, and a violent panic sweeps through crowds on the streets. The Manhattan police, riddled with corruption and apathy, are at a loss. That's when the Mayor recruits Jon Phillips, a small-town Pennsylvania cop who had just single-handedly stopped a high-profile serial killer in his own area, and flies him into the insanity of this new New York City. The young detective is partnered with a shady older cop and begins to investigate the crimes amidst the vagaries of a twenty-four hour nightlife he has never experienced before. Soon realizing that he was chosen for reasons other than what he was told, Jon is left with no one to trust and forced to go on the run in the dark streets, and below them in the maze of the underground. Against all odds he still hopes that he can save his own life, the woman of his dreams, and maybe even the whole city before the arrival of the mysterious and dreaded event that has come to be known as.... DAYFALL. At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.

“…and to those who shall inevitably yearn for the forbidden; we pray you may never earn your share of the wounds we who forbade it are burdened. Heed our solemn declaration, lest you discover the forbidden to be rarely so without reason...” On the border of the Ameyalli forest resides an ancient tribe. They have long survived on their ancient rituals, worship of Mother Earth, and strict adherence to the forbidden. Lia and Kai are siblings who dream of entering the forbidden forest during the allure of nightfall. Night after night, they gaze longingly at the dancing lights above it and the warm glow of purple coming from within. When Lia finally breaks away from the village’s heavy hand and enters the forest, her dream is fulfilled. But at great cost: The tribe’s dark history comes to light, Mother Earth’s true nature is brought into doubt, and the Ameyalli tribe learns that nothing is ever forbidden without reason.
