Rachel Blackburn is back, and she’s more powerful–and terrifying–than ever. She’s now one of the Lightbringers, an ancient race of cosmic beings dedicated to “saving” the Omniverse from the ravenous Gyre by absorbing it into themselves piece by piece. But Rachel doesn’t give a damn about the Lightbringers’ mission. She intends to use her new powers to get revenge on the two Maintenance agents who stopped her from activating the Atrocity Engine–Neal Hudson and Gina Sandoval. And when she’s finished with them, she’s going to destroy Brother Nothing and the entire Multitude.

From international best-selling author Craig Russell comes a modern Gothic masterpiece. Edward Hyde has a strange gift - or a curse - he keeps secret from all but his physician. He experiences two realities, one real, the other a dreamworld state brought on by a neurological condition. When murders in Victorian Edinburgh echo the ancient Celtic threefold death ritual, Captain Edward Hyde hunts for those responsible. In the process he becomes entangled in a web of Celticist occultism and dark scheming by powerful figures.

Neal Hudson is a twenty-year veteran of Maintenance. A surveyor who drives through the streets of Ash Creek, Ohio constantly scanning for the deadly energy known as Corruption. Since the death of his previous partner, Neal prefers to work alone, and he’s not happy when he’s assigned to mentor a rookie.

When Maintenance Surveyors Neal and Gina investigate a house saturated with Corruption, they expect the job to be fairly routine. What they don’t expect is for Gina to become psychically bound to a monstrously mutated woman called the Witch Lady. Nor do they expect the Witch Lady’s son Randall to come into possession of a dark tome of unimaginable power called the Insanitarium, which he uses to wreak havoc throughout Ash Creek. And there’s no way they could anticipate the arrival of Neal’s childhood friend Donnie.

"The Raven" is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its musicality, stylized language, and supernatural atmosphere. It tells of a talking raven's mysterious visit to a distraught lover, tracing the man's slow fall into madness. The lover, often identified as being a student, is lamenting the loss of his love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas, the raven seems to further distress the protagonist with its constant repetition of the word "Nevermore".
