She escapes to Vermont, to a second home that belongs to her family, but she discovers that the house, and a place in the woods near it, have a dark history. She wonders if it explains some of the strangeness that still seems to hang over it.

Ericka finds a renewed sense of purpose in a new job taking care of Bill, a kind, elderly gentleman struggling with dementia. When she meets Bill's successful son Andrew, with the looks of a rugged, forty-something magazine model, her first instinct is to dislike him for his apparent neglect of his aging father.

Her brother, Jack, is taken north to join the British Liberation Army. This is theaction-packed thriller aboutunchecked hatred flooding a nation. Revolution is coming. Will The Fifth be ready? Reviews "although it begins as a dystopian thriller, soon develops strong sci-fi elements that aren't to be missed by science fiction fans. Dealing with a host of delicate subjects (with a trigger warning that also includes a message of hope at the start of the book which I appreciated) I feel that the author navigates this story well. It is very well-written and I was immersed in the character development of both Jenny and Jack, following on with Jenny's missions and hoping for improvements for Jack. This story is action packed, with twists that I could never have predicted and I would recommend for readers in the older YA market. I was eager to find out exactly what was happening and wanted to read the book in one sitting." - LoveReading / LoveReading4kids Ambassador (Indie Books We Love) "Sykes truly excels at unexpected turns regarding both the plot and cast. Some characters, for example, aren't as amiable as they seem, and more than one death is genuinely shocking. This book, even with its stark ending, could either be a stand-alone or a series opener. A remarkable tale of the frightening consequences of hatred and discrimination." - Kirkus Reviews

The Heart of Shattered Time: The Asoju of Yemaya Asopo by Kyrja Price verified 6 hours ago

Using the mysterious Mimo Stone in the depths of the sea in a desperate attempt to discover how she might help to send the hidden child, Iyika, to the long-ago past, so that the malicious spirits known as the Ajogun would be unable to use the child to take physical form within the Àye - realms of the living - R'ya, herself, was taken to the long-ago past. There, she met a much younger version of Alagbato, the first Olori Guardian of the seven Okin Stones, who told her she must place something of value she had possessed before being named as the Asoju of Yemaya into a container filled with water from the depths of the sea. She chose the three seashells remaining from a necklace she had once made while living alone on the seashore many years ago. Eshu, the Spirit of the Crossroads, later gave these seashells to Idaji to ensure that R'ya would not be sent to the long-ago past when Iyika, the hidden child, was taken there by those who had gathered together to make this task possible. But when the Spirit of the Crossroads gave the seashells to Idaji, he did not anticipate that, in the moment of transition between the present time to the long-ago past, the adult version of Iyika would call R'ya to a place outside of time. Nor did those who made it possible for the child to be taken to the long-ago past know that Idaji had a shade of an Ajogun within him. Because Idaji had the shade within him, and because he was yet holding one of R'ya's seashells when she was taken to the long-ago past, so that she would be anchored to the present, time shattered - creating chaos throughout the Butaka. Although R'ya remained in the present time, Idaji was sent to a time one hundred years in the past. In order to restore time to its natural course, Olokun, the Spirit of the Depths, tells Idaji he must accompany a young man by the name of Asopo - who has just been named as the Asoju of Yemaya - to complete his Ibukun Okin journey to restore the seven Okin Stones throughout the Butaka. ...
