A single lie is spoken, allowing the Nephilim, a race of giants from ancient times, to invade Second Eden, a peaceful civilization in an alternate dimension. While Earth and Hades are locked in a catastrophic merging of their two realms, the prophet Enoch works to gather an army of humans and dragons from each world to go to war against the Nephilim. Included in that force are a small girl with prophetic power who originated in the depths of Hades; Billy Bannister, the heir of Arthur and hero of the Dragons in our Midst series; and Bonnie Silver, his fellow warrior.
The two Oracles of Fire, Sapphira and Acacia, are called upon to protect the forces of good, including Bonnie, who is pursued once again by the most powerful of all dragon slayers, Sir Devin, the dragons' bane.
With giants battling dragons, and a rogue dragon taking the side of the forces of evil, a cataclysmic battle erupts, endangering every life in the land of Second Eden. Another of the Nephilim, the most powerful of all, rises from the dead to join the battle. But whose side will he be on?
Abraham, the leader of Second Eden, has a choice, either execute a grieving widow, the woman responsible for the entry of the evil giants, or face the greatest of sacrifices by which he can only delay the inevitable, the ultimate war that could lead the evil forces to the gates of Heaven itself.

Ethan M. Aldridge, bestselling creator of Estranged, returns to the eerie world of Deephaven Academy, where a creepy new artifact discovered in the depths of the basement could have disastrous effects on the school. A perfect read for fans of J. A. White and Mary Downing Hahn!

After a chaotic semester, Guinevere "Nev" Tallow is looking forward to a quiet winter break at Deephaven Academy. But when they discover a strange artifact--a scrimshaw--hidden away deep in the under-basement of the school, they can't resist the urge to investigate further.

This scrimshaw seems to be the skull of the school's founder, Malachi Haven. Each of the skull's few remaining teeth is engraved with a tiny image that foretells disaster. Nev quickly becomes obsessed with this mystery--not even their best friend, Danny, can distract them. And after something begins striking down students, Nev and Danny wonder if the images etched into the ancient teeth are actually warnings.

Can Nev protect the school from the coming doom foreseen by the scrimshaw, or are they on a collision course with fate?

Where's My Mommy? is a gentle, compassionate children's picture book created to help young readers navigate the complex emotions surrounding a mother's absence.

Written in soothing, rhythmic language and paired with expressive illustrations, this story speaks directly to children who wonder where their mother is-whether due to separation, illness, addiction, incarceration, emotional unavailability, foster care, or loss. With honesty and care, the book reassures children that their mother's struggles or absence are never their fault, and that their worth is not defined by who is missing from their lives.

Rather than offering simple answers, Where's My Mommy? creates space for feelings-sadness, confusion, longing, and hope-while gently guiding children toward resilience, self-worth, and healing. The story affirms that love can exist in many forms and that family is defined not only by biology, but by those who show up with consistency and care.

This book also includes a caregiver guide, offering counselors, educators, foster parents, grandparents, and guardians practical ways to start meaningful conversations, validate children's emotions, and reinforce healthy emotional development.

Where's My Mommy? is a powerful resource for homes, classrooms, therapy settings, and child advocacy organizations-helping children feel seen, heard, and deeply valued.
