PLANET VERIDIA AND THE SEED SHIP He stole a civilization’s future. Now, he has to keep it from burning. Rodney was just a rookie specialist dropped into the mud of Veridia. But after leaving a corrupted regime behind, he finds himself commanding the (Seed Ship)—a sprawling, ancient ark holding the biological templates for a new world. Guided by Aria, the vessel's ethereal holographic AI, Rodney sets a desperate course for Origin Point Alpha, the fabled cradle of a fallen empire. But the deep dark holds more than empty silence. A techno-organic parasite is actively spreading through the stars, and Origin Point Alpha turns out to be a maximum-security cosmic prison. Worse, its most dangerous inmate has escaped and is quietly corrupting Rodney's homeworld. Armed with the legendary *Sun-Spear* and backed by a misfit crew of rebels and soldiers, Rodney must turn the ark back toward the war zone he fought so hard to escape. They are no longer just searching for a home; they are the galaxy's final line of defense.

Blackwood Ridge Woods Four friends went looking for an off-the-grid escape. They found a tomb. When Maya, Liam, Jace, and Chloe hike deep into the untouched wilderness of Blackwood Ridge, they expect a spring break of camping and reconnecting away from the crushing pressure of midterms. Instead, they stumble upon a dilapidated, 19th-century house hidden among the twisted, gray trees. Drawn by curiosity, they step inside the ruined structure—only for the heavy front door to violently slam shut, jamming them in the dark. They soon discover the house wasn't boarded up to keep people out. It was sealed to keep something *in*. Trapped in a rotting maze of gruesome secrets and barricaded doors, the group realizes they are locked inside with Abigail—a mutated, multi-jointed horror of a woman bound to the property by a century of dark magic and madness. As the sun sets and the claustrophobic terror mounts, survival becomes a frantic, bloody game of cat-and-mouse against an entity that knows every shadow of her cage. In this chilling new horror by Robert Meyers, a simple vacation descends into a grueling, inescapable nightmare. With no cell service, no safe rooms, and a creature that hunts with terrifying speed, the group must navigate the blood-soaked remnants of the Blackwood family's past if they want to see tomorrow. But in these woods, hope is a trap, and the dawn is just another illusion. (Once you step into the Blackwood house, you never really leave.)
