Book Description
John C. Wright burst onto the SF scene with the Golden Age trilogy. His next project was the ambitious fantasy sequence, The Last Guardians of Everness. Wright's new fantasy is a tale about five orphans raised in a strict British boarding school who begin to discover that they may not be human beings. The students at the school do not age, while the world around them does. The children begin to make sinister discoveries about themselves. Amelia is apparently a fourth-dimensional being; Victor is a synthetic man who can control the molecular arrangement of matter around him; Vanity can find secret passageways through solid walls where none had previously been; Colin is a psychic; Quentin is a warlock. Each power comes from a different paradigm or view of the inexplicable universe: and they should not be able to co-exist under the same laws of nature. Why is it that they can? The orphans have been kidnapped from their true parents, robbed of their powers, and raised in ignorance by super-beings no more human than they are: pagan gods or fairy-queens, Cyclopes, sea-monsters, witches, or things even stranger than this. The children must experiment with, and learn to control, their strange abilities in order to escape their captors.

Book Description
John C. Wright established himself at the forefront of contemporary fantasy with Orphans of Chaos, which launched a new epic adventure. Wright's new fantasy, continuing in Fugitives of Chaos, is about five orphans raised in a strict British boarding school who begin to discover that they may not be human beings. The students at the school do not age, while the world around them does. The orphans have been kidnapped from their true parents, robbed of their powers, and raised in ignorance by super-beings: pagan gods, fairy-queens, Cyclopes, sea-monsters, witches, or things even stranger. Amelia is apparently a fourth-dimensional being; Victor is a synthetic man who can control the molecular arrangement of matter around him; Vanity can find secret passageways through solid walls; Colin is psychic; Quentin is a warlock. Each power comes from a different paradigm or view of the inexplicable universe, and they should not be able to co-exist under the same laws of nature. They must learn to control their strange abilities in order to escape their captors. Something very important must be at stake in their imprisonment.

Book Description
Shawn Laveau, a seasoned detective in the NYPD, is not prepared for the evil awaiting him during a stakeout in an affluent region of the city; when a syringe-wielding doctor murders his comrade and then evades arrest, Shawn is left disoriented and traumatized. Unable to shake the lingering terror, he moves to New Orleans, attempting to restart his life as a desk duty officer. Little does he know that he has been marked by an ancient evil that dwells within the bayous surrounding the city, buried deep beneath the muddy waters, awaiting its revenge—a revenge that originated long ago with the breaking of a sacred law. The ruthless demonic spirit soon finds its “puppet” in the form of a sadistic man—the murderous doctor himself—who serves his master in exchange for immortality, offering human sacrifices and orchestrating the conditions needed for the demon’s retribution. Soon a research facility is resurrected within the bayou’s depths. It’s built atop the remains of a psychiatric hospital that collapsed many years before as the result of unspeakable, unholy rites. Little does Shawn know that he and five others will come to know this place well—too well—as the hungry force beckons them there. Bound together by fate and relentlessly pursued by the undying spirit, these chosen six must find a way to overcome evil, lest they be devoured—blood, body, and soul.

Book Description
Step into an epic world of sword and sorcery, intrigue and betrayal... The realm of Drinnglennin hangs poised on the cusp of chaos, for Urlion Konigur, the High King, is dying and has yet to name an heir. Rumors abound that the Helgrins, Drinnglennin's bitterest foes, are preparing their longboats to raid the Isle's shores, while the roving å Livåri folk, for whom the island kingdom is the last sanctuary, are strangely disappearing. And in distant Belestar, the fabled dragons are stirring from their self-imposed exile... Drinnglennin's hopes lie with the wizard Morgan, who must gather together and safeguard the king's possible heirs, all three of whom are coming of age. Yet a dangerously powerful house seeks the succession for one of their own, even if it means disrupting the fragile peace of the realm. One thing is certain: whoever next sits on the Einhorn Throne will determine the fate not only of Drinnglennin, but of all who dwell in the Known World.
