    Summary

    When toddler Philip tugs on the wrong thread of time, his older brother Marcus is physically de-aged into a child. The spell won't undo easily. Caught between memory and magic, Marcus grows up a second time under the wary, watchful eye of his father.At first, everyone hopes it will be temporary. But days turn into weeks, and Marcus is forced to confront his past, his pride, and his place in a family that’s trying desperately to hold him close while the threads of time tug him further off course.

    From Mythbusters-inspired parachute disasters to midnight snack heists gone wrong, Marcus pushes every boundary Matthew sets—earning more than one sore backside and more than one moment of reflection. As the magic holding Marcus in this childlike state refuses to break, the family must navigate tantrums, trust, time spells, and the relentless ache of love that endures through every age.

    With Diana’s quiet wisdom, the twins’ accidental magic, and Matthew’s fierce, unrelenting love—this is the story of a son unraveled by time, and the father who holds fast to the thread.

    Summary

    After his third expulsion in two years, sixteen-year-old Luca Taylor is out of chances. He’s hauled home by his father Adrian, a stern professor of archaeology, whose patience is fraying fast. But home doesn’t just mean lectures and grounding. It means returning to the house where his mother vanished without a trace six years ago, in the middle of a dig tied to ancient Orphic rites.

    When a gold tablet is mysteriously sent to Adrian and his colleagues, etched with symbols Adrian hoped never to see again, old research is unearthed, and buried tensions resurface. The artifact links to a mythic labyrinth of memory, forgotten gods, and a legacy Luca doesn’t understand. As strange dreams stir and reality bends, Luca is forced to reckon not only with what he's done, but what he might be: a key to unlocking a mystery his mother never returned from—and one his father has spent years trying to forget.

    A story of strained relationships, ancient inheritance, and the thin boundary between myth and memory

    Summary

    Eleanora Andros was the rarest thing there was, a vampire with no family. Far from either a typical making or raising as a vampire she had carved a life for herself among the colorful characters of New Orleans, she was not prepared to find herself in the crosshairs of clan feuds, species evolution and navigating the unexplored waters of family

     

    Found family, parenting and sorting out how to reconcile the past, personal growth and relationships with honor, legacy and virtue. Where does duty to family end and the individual begin? Roman paternalism clash with American rugged individualism, vampire pride and ideals with chronic illness and disability, the limits and price of power, trauma and the painful process of healing and facing the ever present past.
