Monster Anthology Volume 1
A creeping horror in the dark. An echoing howl in the forest. A spreading pool of ichor. Shadows stalking the slightest hint of fear. A prowling terror just out of sight. Roiling storms crouching on the horizon.
The following anthology contains Mythic tales of monsters and beasts, and the horrors inflicted upon the innocents in their path. Are you brave enough to crawl into the jaws of a beast?

The Cage
Julian's dream is to become one of the most successful criminal lawyers around, so when a client asks him to venture to The Prison From Hell located on a remote island for an assignment, he jumps at the chance in hopes of a promotion. He's well-aware of the prison's infamous reputation, corrupt laws and peculiar hierarchy, so he already expects to find the baddest of the bad and the foulest of the foul within its concrete walls. Instead, he finds and catches the eye of the most beautiful man he's ever laid eyes on.
When Schneider Cross, the new King of the Prison, offers him a one-in-a-lifetime chance to represent him as his attorney, Julian accepts, but just before he leaves, a riot breaks out and the prison descends into chaos. Julian is unwittingly caught in its midst and is made to defend himself from a group of rapists, forcing him to kill in self-defense.
Angered, the inmates conspire to pin a bogus murder charge on Julian and have him thrown into The Prison from Hell with the intention to finish what they started. Dangerously unprepared and still reeling from the injustice, Julian must now seek the protection of the strongest man in all the prison if he is to survive. Only to ensure the King's protection, Julian must agree to become his 'bitch' and 'serve' him in an entirely different way than the first job entailed.
But how can Julian possibly agree to such a thing when he suspects Schneider of conspiring with the other inmates to get him locked up?

Sins of the Father
Book 3 of the series "A Song in the Darkness"
*****
A lot can change in five years. While things have settled down considerably for Darkwalker Tarriq Zar, the same cannot be said for his apprentice Kellen. Now a young man, Kellen Kaar has moved up in the world. This includes his promotion to Lead Technician for all of Internal Order, with only Tarriq as Senior Technician standing higher in the department. A new job title naturally comes with a whole new set of responsibilities and problems. And at 19 years old, he’s both old enough to be legally liable for the difficulties he faces and young enough to still get overwhelmed by his own hot headedness.
But he’s also haunted by the shadow of his own past. His family name is badly tarnished by the traitorous actions of his father, the extent of whose deceit and corruption are still being uncovered. And his own name is bandied about as someone who parties hard and fights even harder. Not to mention the massive responsibility of keeping tabs on his boss’ emotional well being and continuing to be a vital link between humanity and the Denzai. So when trouble takes a personal interest in him, Kellen finds out precisely how much trouble is entirely too much.
