The world ended. Then things got tough. Shane Collins and Lucas Maddox were US Marshals before. Before the world ended. Before civilization crumbled. Before Shane developed strange powers. Before there were monsters. Now they’re still Marshals, but they ride through the wreckage of what once was the United States, helping the ragged groups of survivors they find survive against the challenges of a world gone insane, and the people who still want to exploit others. Because as long as there are people, there will be predators. And as long as there are predators, there will be men and women who stand against them. Lucas and Shane are two of those men. Wasteland Marshals launches a new post-apocalyptic fantasy series from Gail Z. & Larry N. Martin, who brought you Spells, Salt, & Steel.
Witches and werewolves were not something they covered in their training as US Marshals. Then again, neither was the Apocalypse, so that makes this insanity pretty normal for Shane Collins and Luke Maddox. It’s hard enough trying to navigate a new world of monsters, magic, and no decent takeout anywhere, but add murderous shapeshifters to that, and you’ve got a recipe for death and destruction. Innocent people are going missing, and Shane and Luke think it may have something to do with rumblings they’ve heard about secret government experiments that took place before things all went haywire. Then there’s the magic. The strange magic corrupting the land, that affects them more now that Shane is tied to the genius loci, collections of magical energy throughout the countryside, and Luke has an ancient elemental spirit riding shotgun in his head. Yeah, this was not in any of the manuals. Witch of the Woods is the thrilling second installment in the Wasteland Marshals series by Gail Z. Martin and Larry N. Martin, authors of Spells, Salt, & Steel and The Joe Magarac Chronicles.
A creepy roadside attraction, a disappearing hotel, and a murder house. These are the things that US Marshals Shane Collins and Lucas Maddox find when they arrive in Ansted, WV, at the insistence of the Bedford coven of witches. The local scholars have chosen the mysterious Mountain Cove Hotel as an archival site for the books and other materials that still remain after the Events. But something is very wrong. Time moves differently there, and the songs of the genius loci are discordant, haunted, out of sync. Ghostly sentinels guard the ancient graveyards and beasts of legend roam the hills, but evil has still set its sights on the Mountain Cove Hotel. Can Shane and Lucas cleanse the hotel of the malignant energy that has been building for generations? Will they be able to depend on the abilities they’ve gained from the spirits that reside inside themselves? Will the records of the past be secured for the future? These are questions Shane and Lucas never thought they’d have to answer… Ghosts of the Past is the suspenseful third installment in the Wasteland Marshals series by Gail Z. Martin and Larry N. Martin, authors of Spells, Salt, & Steel and The Joe Magarac Chronicles.
