I hunt demons.I don't work for them. And I promised my mom one thing before she was murdered: Under no circumstances, would I ever go near the high demons. But I'll break that promise over and over again if it helps me avenge her death. When my only lead turns to ash in the middle of demon territory, I'm suddenly a dead witch walking. Violence in Samael's club is an automatic death sentence... unless he can use you. And it turns out that the most powerful demon in the country has a use for little ol' me. Demons are being slaughtered. His demons. And as a bounty hunter, it's up to me to find out who would dare hurt his people. I've got two weeks to find the killer, and if I fail, I'm bonded to Samael. Forever. Samael's certain that I'll be his, but I'm not the kinda girl who risks her freedom for a demon. I'm the kinda girl who won't let anyone get in the way of her vengeance- not even the Machiavellian control freak who thinks he can run my life. The problem? I've pissed the wrong people off. Now I'm the one being hunted, and someone's coming for me with everything they have. But I'm never more dangerous than when my back is up against the wall. And I'm ready to come out swinging.
The first biography of the celebrated Broadway and Hollywood choreographer and director—a complex man of extraordinary genius and overwhelming demons. His work on such legendary shows as The King and I, West Side Story, Gypsy, Funny Girl, and Fiddler on the Roof made him one of the most influential and creative forces in the history of American theater. His collaborators, friends, and enemies were among the greatest celebrities of stage and screen, including Barbra Streisand, Bette Davis, Stephen Sondheim, Natalie Wood, Montgomery Clift, and Mary Martin. His brilliant contribution to the American Ballet Theater and the New York City Ballet established him as one of the century’s great choreographic masters of the form. But in 1998, Jerome Robbins died a haunted man. All of his life, he was tortured by private demons: his conflicted feelings about his bisexuality and his Judaism; his bitter relationship with his parents; his betrayals of others during the McCarthy hearings; and a demanding perfectionism that bordered on the sadistic. Now, this groundbreaking biography, based on hundreds of interviews with friends, family, and colleagues, provides the first complete portrait of the man and the artist—a harrowing, heartbreaking, and triumphant work as complicated and fascinating as the legend himself.

The soldier stood, staring at the demon, too afraid to move. Any demon was a terrifying sight, but this demon was something else entirely. Even hunching forward as it did, the monstrosity stood close to thirteen feet tall. Its body was thick, far thicker than something its size should have been and every inch of it was rippling with muscle. A huge tail lashed slowly from side to side behind it and the demons muzzle was slightly parted as it regarded the soldier. Its red eyes were frightening, showing that it had no humanity whatsoever. All this creature was concerned with, was death and killing. The soldier wanted to reach for his weapon, or to run, but couldn't. He wanted to do anything, other than watch his death approach, but his body wouldn't follow his orders. All that was left to the soldier, was to stand and watch the demon. The beast reached up and took hold of the hilt above its shoulder. The sword it drew, was almost double as long as the soldier was tall and was three feet across. That blade could have felled a tree and would have no difficulty at all, with a simple human. The demon smiled, showing all of its teeth and swung the blade. Thailog is at large, summoning more and more demons to his cause. With every demon summoned, the humans' chances of winning the war, begin to wane. Jean and the others have come a long way, but with the compound under new leadership and their forces significantly reduced, will they be able to hold out in the coming days? Already the war seems to be in favor of Thailog and his demons. Is the compound's fate sealed? Are the demons destined to win and eventually cover the entire earth? Or is there a chance, a chance that they might just win the war?

The Boy Who Could See Demons follows a child psychologist who comes up against a career-defining case—one that threatens to unravel her own painful past and jeopardizes the life of a boy who can see the impossible. Dr. Anya Molokova, a child psychiatrist, is called in to work at MacNeice House, an adolescent mental health treatment center. There she is told to observe and assess Alex Connolly, a keenly intelligent, sensitive ten-year-old coping with his mother’s latest suicide attempt. Alex is in need of serious counseling: He has been harming himself and others, often during blackouts. At the root of his destructive behavior, Alex claims, is his imaginary “friend” Ruen, a cunning demon who urges Alex to bend to his often violent will. But Anya has seen this kind of behavior before—with her own daughter, Poppy, who suffered from early-onset schizophrenia. Determined to help Alex out of his darkness, Anya begins to treat the child. But soon strange and alarming coincidences compel Anya to wonder: Is Alex’s condition a cruel trick of the mind? Or is Ruen not so make-believe after all? The reality, it turns out, is more terrifying than anything she has ever encountered.

He wanted to do anything, other than watch his death approach, but his body wouldn't follow his orders. All that was left to the soldier, was to stand and watch the demon. The monstrosity opened its mouth, a gaping whole into darkness and let out a deafening roar. Thailog is free and opening the gate between worlds, bringing more demons to his cause. With every demon summoned, the humans' chances of winning the war, begin to wane. Are the demons destined to win and eventually cover the entire earth, or is there a chance?
Two neighboring nations have a shaky peace, but that peace is about to end. One side summons evil creatures to fight for them and the others look to their own race. This story is of love and hate, monsters and men. Is man enough to stand against such evil, or is this the beginning of the end? The doors opened to reveal a room lit with strange blue light, one tunnel leading away into the darkness. Along with the light, thigh deep water rushed passed the open doors. The man knew there was no turning back now. Forward was the only way left to him. He stepped through the open door and took a source of the blue light, a torch giving off the strange glow. Sloshing forward through the water he swallowed, already wondering if he would regret this decision. When the blue light faded from behind, now the torch in his hand being the only source, the man felt it. He felt an evil. He had never thought this terrifying sensation could be so strong. He had expected something, but not this. The feeling was almost palpable. An inhuman laugh rang through the tunnel and he slowly turned. Just outside of the light cast by his torch two huge eyes slowly opened. Those eyes radiated with the malevolence that he felt. Fear bound his legs in place and He knew then, that he had made a fatal mistake. The man screamed, able to do nothing else as the monstrosity stepped into the light.
