The trail of murder victims leads to the sleepy town of Cold Springs . . . . . . but only Liam Fredricks sees the supernatural pattern. Can he stop the killer? Liam never thought he’d be the recluse living in a cabin and obsessively researching a serial killer, but after seeing reports of crime scene after crime scene that echo the murder of his wife and daughter, Liam becomes just that. He knows what the official investigators don’t, but when he arrives in Cold Springs and declares that a string of bear attacks claiming seven lives is really the work of a man, he becomes an instant laughingstock. But the truth is, the Cold Springs Killer isn’t exactly a man, either, and if Liam tries to reveal everything he knows, he’ll sound even more unhinged. The police and forest rangers don’t know what they’re up against, so it’s up to Liam to do what they can’t—find and stop the Cold Springs killer.

The fate of the world rests in the hands of a clever thief. Will he risk his life to save humanity? Or betray us all for a price? For peasants, seeking opportunities in a new kingdom is a fool’s errand, but it’s the only chance for the desperate criminal to escape his painful past—until he encounters a drunk man with a strange map and an even stranger claim. Following the magical map will grant its possessor’s greatest desire. When destiny intervenes, the thief gets hold of the map and realizes the drunkard’s incoherent ravings aren’t so outlandish. Through a psychic bond, the map’s creator whispers promises that the thief’s most earnest wish is within reach. Though reluctant to accept an offer seemingly too good to be true, the thief once again becomes trapped in fate’s inescapable current. He can only hope it will carry him to the brighter future he pursues, cleansing him in the process. But change isn’t so easy as riding the tides, and faced with impossible choices, he soon learns what terrible strings are attached to his wish—and what kind of a man he truly is. Will his quest for absolution inadvertently doom all of mankind? Or can the thief pick fate’s pocket and win?
