The sinister conclusion to Kathleen Kaufman's thrilling Diabhal series finds humanity plunged into end-time disasters fueled by its demons.

The Son of Abraham

Ten years after the city of Los Angeles is nearly destroyed by a violent domestic terrorist attack, Esther Robertson struggles to reconcile her father’s culpability as leader of the deadly Son of Abraham cult. She grants CBS’s top reporter, Cooper Carlson, a rare interview and insight into her father, Alan Robertson, who sits awaiting trial for his crimes in federal prison. A report of a horrific and seemingly natural disaster interrupts the interview. Another will follow and another after that. Are these increasingly violent and bizarre phenoms truly natural, or is there another force behind them? In the epic conclusion of the story of the Society at Sinder Avenue, the end times–put into motion by a demonic deal made generations ago–are finally unfolding. Destruction, famine, war, and pestilence reign. But is it God who comes to answer the prayers of the suffering and dying world, or is it Ceit Robertson, the ascended matriarch of the Society, Goddess of the Dead, and Ruler of the Night Forest? Will they offer salvation or Armageddon?

Book two of this captivating occult, horror series is told in parallel threads, the beginning and end of Sinder Avenue and The Society are woven together with the rise of Ainsley Robertson's power on the earthly plane and Ceit Robertson's increasing pull to the kingdom of the Night Forest, where she rules as the Goddess of the Dead.

Sinder: Diabhal Book 2

"I am the stuff of your nightmares . . . you have been writing my name on the walls of your fear your entire life." When seven-year-old Jamie falls down a very long hill, he finds himself trapped in a world of strange creatures, harsh landscapes, and near-perpetual darkness. Lost and confused, Jamie is desperate to get home. The nightmares, fears, and all manner of what-ifs that inhabit this shadow world are unfamiliar to him--all except one: the Lairdbalor, Jamie's personal nightmare, once relegated to his dreams. In this fantastical land, however, the Lairdbalor and all the fears and nightmares of children are very real. But Jamie's nightmare is different. It is the sum total of the anger and anxiety that imprisoned him in his former life, and it threatens to consume and rule the nightmare realm, a place where time passes differently. With each slumber, Jamie finds himself inexorably changed. The farther he travels through this terrifying world, the better he understands the one he left behind. Crossing genres of folklore, horror, fantasy, and magical realism, The Lairdbalor is a story for anyone who lives with anxiety and fear and has ever wondered "what if?" It is the story of a child not meant for children and a darkly imaginative meditation on life, death, fear, and the nature of reality.

The Lairdbalor

After the Signmakers decide to permanently remove the PricePlan Discount Superstore, Rosemary and Nate's lives change forever, and Nate is left without a focus for his protest against Corporate America. But are the Signmakers benevolent stewards of humanity or malicious invaders?
