The Demon's In The Details
Alastair Stone is intrigued when he’s asked to look into a bizarre series of murders united by intricate and unsettling symbols carved into the victims’ bodies.
As the deaths pile up and the killer seems able both to travel and to commit his crimes without a trace, Stone learns the murders aren’t only linked—they’re parts of a malevolent, massively powerful ritual with an ancient demonic artifact at its root.
With the stakes growing ever higher, Stone needs strong allies—including an old enemy with crucial information, an old friend he hasn’t seen for years, and someone very close to him who reveals a surprising new secret.
If he can’t get to the bottom of the ritual and deal with the source before it’s too late to stop it, millions of people could perish.
But even if he does prevent the ritual, the choices he’s forced to make to ensure victory will change his life in ways he never expected.

Be Careful What You Ask For…
Alastair Stone has already paid off two of the three favors he owes his ancestor Aldwyn.
He expects the third to be big, but he has no idea how big.
Aldwyn reveals he has another scion—a man the dragon has sensed, but never been able to locate.
He wants Stone to find him.
The shocks don’t end there, though. Stone soon discovers the mysterious scion is a lot more familiar than he expected—which leaves him with a dilemma.
Does he obey the oath he swore to Aldwyn and deliver the scion to him? Or does he take a chance and join forces with the only man he knows who has a chance to help him take the dragon down once and for all?
Before he can make that choice, though, he has to find the scion. That’s hard enough—but when he succeeds, he’s thrown into a horrific series of events the two of them must survive before they can even think about Aldwyn.
And meanwhile, Aldwyn has plans of his own…

What Goes Around, Comes Around
Still coming to terms with recent events, Alastair Stone is shocked when someone from his past—someone he still feels guilty he couldn’t save—resurfaces in his life with a desperate claim that he’s the only one who can help her.
She may be right.
He’d thought the Evil—extradimensional beings with a taste for human fear, misery, and rage—had settled down. But now it appears they’ve got a new plan—and a new leader.
Stone and Verity go undercover to a tropical holiday paradise designed specifically with the Evil’s sadistic tastes in mind, hoping to discover who this new leader is and what they’re up to.
But when the plan turns out to be far more ambitious—and far deadlier—than either of them had ever suspected, stopping it becomes more crucial than ever.
If they fail, the Evil will gain a dangerous new foothold on the world.
However, if they succeed, Stone could get access to resources he never thought possible.
And he might need those resources, because some of his most powerful allies have stopped taking his calls.

Most families can be a pain. Some can be deadly.
Alastair Stone has successfully finished the first of the three tasks he’s oath-bound to complete for his powerful dragon ancestor. To his shock and surprise, the second turns out to be something he already wants to do: kill an old enemy who shouldn’t even be alive.
The only problems are, Stone has no idea how to find his target, and the deadline he’s been given makes success by no means certain.
Complicating matters, a new ally has a consulting job for him: figure out why somebody in the Changeling community is kidnapping young and seemingly unconnected children all over California.
Stone will need to rely on all his friends to deal with these challenges—especially when both take unexpected, deadly, and decidedly personal turns.
When family is involved, none of the usual rules apply.
And the penalty for failure is unthinkable.

A Whole New World
When Alastair Stone chooses to remain in captivity to save his son, he has no idea how much his life is about to change.
While he does manage to break free from his bizarre prison, his newfound freedom doesn’t come without a price. Everything around him is different—the world, his friends, what he thinks he knows about what he left behind. And despite all the power he commands, he can’t do a thing to fix any of it.
Worse, he’s still bound by an oath he made to his captor—and that contract is now coming due.
Still adjusting to the upheaval that is his life, Stone heads to a pair of tiny, remote towns that share a deadly secret. If he can’t figure out what his captor wants from the towns and find a way around it, hundreds of people could die.
And that isn’t even the worst part.
Welcome to your new world, Dr. Stone. You’d better get up to speed fast.
