LET CHAOS REIGN The Oblivion Guard is trying to kill Cain. That should be impossible. After all, Cain has a bargain with the summer and winter queens that keeps him safe from them directly or indirectly harming him. If they breach the bargain, then they'll lose considerable power. Cain discovers that many of these would-be assassins come from Alpha and Beta dimensions, and they seem to have found a loophole that allows them to kill him without harming the queens. Anyone associated with Cain is fair game, and Aura and Layla are forced to hide out at Sanctuary with Cain. But not even his secret hideout is safe anymore. The guardians are working closely with Eclipse, the assassination and bounty-hunting agency once run by Torvin Rayne. A cybermancer in their employ has found a way to triangulate the location of Sanctuary. The clock is ticking down, leaving Cain no choice but to go on the offensive. But he soon discovers that rogue guardians are the least of his worries. There's a new player in town, a being known as the Winged God. And they seem to be pulling the strings. Their goal is to kill Cain and take Hannah for their own. There's only one way to stop the threat, and that's to go straight to the source of the problem and kill everyone. But going up against an army of trained killers isn't a walk in the park even for Cain. He'll have to use every trick in the book to pull this off and make up a few along the way. But soon they'll learn that no one, not even a god, is going to get between Cain and his mangoritas.

To do list: Stop a zombie uprising. Stop the Apocalypse. Resurrect a goddess. They say no good deed goes unpunished, and Cain is living proof of it. His quest to help the gorgon, Dusa, and his favorite bartender, Aura went terribly right and horrifically wrong. Now the sword Soultaker has claimed two more souls and added them to its undead army. Zeus and Mars tell Cain to fix the situation, or they'll erase him permanently along with everyone he cares about. To free souls from Soultaker, Cain needs information from the original Thanatos, Greek god of death. But Thanatos vanished long ago, creating the office of the Grim Reaper which is now occupied by a man named Garrick. Garrick agrees to help Cain find Thanatos, but before they get started, the other three horsemen, War, Pestilence, and Famine put Garrick in a coma so they can they seed the world with plagues, conflict, and starvation and start the apocalypse. Without Death to free the souls of the humans dying from the chaos, their bodies are rising from the dead, killing more humans, and threatening the very fabric of fate itself. Cain reluctantly accepts the mantle of Death so he can stop the zombie apocalypse and use the powers of his new office to find Thanatos. His journey will take him all over the world, to Hell, Hel, and beyond. Dealing with one pantheon was nearly impossible. Now Cain finds himself tangling with the Norse, Greeks, Christians, and of course, minions of the Elder Things. Cthulhu and Shub-Nuggerath were horrific enough, but this new entity is even worse. But there's one thing Cain's enemies didn't count on. If there's an apocalypse, there will be no more mangoritas. No more plastic pirate swords with fruit. No more toothpick umbrellas. The bad guys are about to find out the hard way that no one, not even a god comes between Cain and his mangoritas.

Medusa, mangoritas, and madness After his adventure in an apocalyptic alternate dimension, Cain is ready for some downtime and mangoritas. But when a gorgon asks Cain to help her remove the curse of Medusa from her bloodline, he sees an opportunity to learn about his origins. He might even be able to help Aura with her curse. Three birds with one stone seems like a pretty good deal. Their quest leads them to the Shalthaes Woodlands, aka, the Dead Forest. Somewhere inside lies the lost city of Fyeth Elunore and its ancient library that may hold answers. The forest is guarded by a small army of drow, and those who get past the drow have never returned. Cain has been to alternate dimensions, fought godlike beings, and faced down Cthulhu himself, but the forest holds secrets darker than anything he could have expected. In fact, the forest has morphed into something otherworldly and deadly. An Elder Thing has infested the forest with her minions. And at the heart of this cursed place beats a rotting heart full of tentacles and madness. Cthulhu, for all his power, has nothing on the creature who rules here. As if that wasn't enough, Cain learns that this forest of madness holds a secret that could overturn the balance of power across the realms and there are powerful beings who will stop at nothing to protect it. There's no turning back. It's do or die, and Cain was never any good at dying. If you like Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Orlando Sanchez, Sarah J. Maas, Kevin Hearne, Steve McHugh, Michael Anderle, Ilona Andrews, Patricia Briggs, Shannon Mayer, or K. F. Breene, you won't be able to put down the highly addictive Chronicles of Cain.

ENTER THE VOIDBaal has assembled nearly all the major relics of Juranthemon. Once the final pieces are in place, the realms will collapse, killing billions and erasing countless others from existence. Even the afterlife may be wiped into oblivion. Only two or three relics remain, and the sword of Jura, Unmaker, is in the worst place imaginable-the Void. Thanks to the insane goddess, Eve, it's possible Baal already knows where Unmaker is, pitting Justin and gang in a race against time and the grand overlord of Haedaemos. The Void swarm presents a challenge even for gods. It consumes everything organic right down to the soul. Opening a portal to the Void is dangerous enough. Entering the barren realm is suicide. But Justin may have a secret weapon-an unlikely ally with a way to enter the Void unharmed. But as Justin and the others delve deeper into the mysteries of this barren wasteland, they soon discover there's far more to the Void than hideous bugs and the swarm. And the secret it hides could be the key to victory or annihilation.

WELCOME TO THE MULTIVERSEHannah returns to Cthulhu in a week and there's nothing Cain can do to stop it. Though he still has Soultaker, Hannah won't let him trade it for her freedom. The sword can summon an army of the dead and Cthulhu wouldn't hesitate to use it. It turns out Soultaker wasn't the only thing from the armory to survive. A mysterious cube was stolen by the mechanists. When Cain tries to retrieve it, he and Hannah end up in a parallel world where the mechanists reached the armory first and plundered it. Using apocalypse weapons, the mechanists destroyed most of the coastal cities with tsunamis and have ground others to dust. To avoid destroying the world altogether, they're fighting a conventional war with airships and a small army of demigods. And if that's not formidable enough, they're also allied with Cthulhu. Cain discovers the only way back to his dimension is by finding a device called the Tetron. To do that, he'll have to infiltrate the mechanists and steal it from them. But then he discovers a nasty twist-the mechanists of this dimension plan to use the Tetron to invade other parallel dimensions. Cain's dimension is considered the original-Prime. And the mechanists have their sights set on it. If Cain can't save this dimension, then his will also be doomed, and Cthulhu will ascend to true godhood.

JUSTIN SLADE IS DEADWhen Baal launches a surprise attack against Justin and gang on Emily's wedding day, Justin overuses his Apocryphan powers and nearly kills himself. With his body clinging to life in a preservation spell, Justin is trapped in the afterlife. While there, he discovers that Baal's plan to collapse the realms back into one world might not only kill billions, but also wipe out the souls of the dead. Turning to old friends and enemies, Justin pools any resources he can and attempts to fight his way back to the land of the living. Can he make it in time to prevent Baal from locating the final Relics of Jura? Or will he be powerless to do anything but watch as the body count rises?

The Abyssal demigoddess, Xanos, has nearly destroyed the Overworld. During a recon mission of a Razor Echelon base, Justin and Elyssa uncover Xanos's new weapon. The Apocryphan is building a portal device that could allow her to transport troops anywhere, including right in the middle of Queens Gate. The Eden forces have nowhere else to run, so Justin seeks the aid of allies to prevent the obliteration of the supernatural resistance. They learn that a woman might be the key to salvation. She has the power to open portals between realms and from one place to another within realms. With her help, they could counter Xanos before the portal device is completed. But first, they have to find this woman. She's been missing for years, presumably hiding from Baal and his minions in another realm. Justin discovers there might be a way to track the portals she's opened before. So he and the gang start off on their most dangerous mission yet: traversing unknown realms with the faintest hope of finding the one woman who might save them all. That woman is Emily Glass.

DEAD IN DAYSEmily Glass will be dead in days unless she can overcome destiny. An overlord of Hell has a price on Emily's head and every demon in the underworld wants to claim the prize. She might be the Great Banisher, but even she can't fight off an army of demons. The only way to survive might be to trust an enigmatic Seraphim, and to find the source of her powers. Where does her demon banishing power come from? How can she rip the powers from vampires? There don't seem to be any other beings with powers like hers, but if they exist, they might help her survive the minions of Hell. Emily has to solve a mystery even her dead mother couldn't unravel. Otherwise, she'll soon join her in the afterlife.

UTOPIA DYSTOPIA Years after Baal's unsuccessful invasion of Seraphina, a new portal device offers Justin and gang a way back to Eden. Instead they end up trapped in Utopia, a realm where humans founded a nearly perfect civilization, at least until disaster struck, turning most of the citizens into zombie-like eidolons. The realm is now ruled by a powerful elemental magus named Vokan. But all is not as it seems. This realm seems to be just another stepping stone for Baal. If Justin can't restore the dystopia back to Utopia, then Baal will add another notch to his belt and be one step closer to supreme leader of all.
