Book Description
Mirroring Romania's drastic transition from totalitarianism to Western-style freedom in the late 1980s, Mr. K Released captures the disturbingly surreal feeling that many newly liberated prisoners face when they leave captivity. Employing his trademark playful absurdity, Mat i Visniec introduces us to Mr. K, a Kafkaesque figure who has been imprisoned for years for an undisclosed crime in a penitentiary with mysterious tunnels. One day, Mr. K finds himself unexpectedly released. Unable to comprehend his sudden liberation, he becomes traumatized by the realities of freedom--more so than the familiar trauma of captivity or imprisonment. In the hope of obtaining some clarification, Mr. K keeps waiting for an appointment with the prison governor, however, their meeting is constantly being delayed. During this endless process of waiting, Mr. K gets caught up in a clinical exploration of his physical surroundings. He does not have the courage or indeed inclination to leave, but can move unrestricted within the prison compound, charting endless series of absurd circles in which readers might paradoxically recognize themselves.

Book Description
"But should someone call me now to announce her death, I wouldn't even blink, let alone attend her funeral." If a mother's love knows no bounds, how has Mr. K come to forsake the woman who gave him life? Maybe a secret locked behind tight lips finally escaped. Stunned by his decision, the evening guests of Tiffany Estate turned into eager listeners of a story that should have been straightforward. Yet, as his narration of damaged family ties reveals a seemingly never-ending path of shame, opposition among the crowd lends favor for and against Mr. K. But can the guests maintain their black and white stances as the tale becomes more intricate? And does the saying, 'A mother's love is infinite', truly apply to all mothers?

Being psychic isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. After learning she has a key role in a centuries-old prophecy, Morgan Abbey hopes to use her abilities to accomplish the one thing she has wanted to do for a decade: find her mother. However, the Watchers who protect her refuse to let her search. They have good reason to urge caution. A sinister and shadowy organization known as the Veneret want Morgan, convinced her role in the Prophecy will allow them to regain their position as rulers of humanity. With the Veneret after her, Morgan has no choice but to listen to the Watchers—and spend her time honing her abilities for the inevitable showdown. Training with Morgan are her friends Lucas, Corbin, and Lia—three of the four Naturals that the Prophecy says will make her strong. Before they can fulfill their destiny, a fourth Natural must be found. When Morgan discovers that her mother might be in danger, she is prepared to dismiss all the warnings of the Watchers in order to bring her safely home. With the help of her friends, Morgan will risk everything in an attempt to save her mom. But forces darker than she can imagine are out there, waiting to make their move. Before her search is over, Morgan will find that not everything is as it seems—and those she thought she could trust may just be her greatest enemies.
