Death recruits the mortal Shard to begin a rebellion against the corrupt powers of Heaven and Hell. In a desperate attempt to win her trust, Death reveals the true nature of existence to a gifted but misguided Templar Knight known as Shard: All mortal souls fuel a savage war for power between the corrupt realms of Heaven and Hell. Death and his Court of the Dead are enslaved to harvest the souls that fuel this pointless conflict. Death seeks to rise above his destructive nature, end the celestial war, and restore balance to the universe. He needs Shard’s help to unite the Underworld and lead the rebellion against Heaven and Hell, especially since not all beings in the Underworld share his vision for a peaceful universe. Rise is the first chapter in the epic Rise, Conquer, Rule trilogy set in the original dark fantasy horror universe of the Court of the Dead.

Three factions lead the Underworld in their secret rebellion against Heaven and Hell. Only through their unity will they defeat the Celestials, yet two of the faction leaders are constantly at odds.

The fight between the two spans the length and breadth of the Underworld, in a battle that extends beyond a mere training exercise.

From the highly creative teams of Sideshow Collectibles and Insight Comics comes the next graphic novel installment of the Court of the Dead universe: Shadows of the Underworld! Before the Underworld can rise up and end the war between heaven and hell, they must first defeat the darkness within themselves: The Dreadsgrip. The power reaped from mortal souls comes at a significant cost. Any reapers that siphon too much ethereal power from the harvest may lose themselves to the Dreadsgrip, an irresistible thirst to destroy. Now, a rogue agent in Death’s Underworld is stoking a mutiny, fueled by the terrible Dreadsgrip plague that affects all denizens of the Underworld—a plague that could derail the leader of the Underworld, the Alltaker’s plans to rise up against the celestial powers of both heaven and hell. With this growing curse reverberating throughout the Alltaker's kingdom, Death’s impulsive daughter Kier must join forces with the Queen’s intractable right hand, Exraile, to root out and destroy this danger to the land between. These mighty warriors, caught in the midst of a celestial war, will need more than just their swords to slice through the Shadows of the Underworld.

Sarah J. Maas's sexy, richly imagined series continues with the journey of Feyre's fiery sister, Nesta. Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites. The fire between them is undeniable, and only burns hotter as they are forced into close quarters with each other. Meanwhile, the treacherous human queens who returned to the Continent during the last war have forged a dangerous new alliance, threatening the fragile peace that has settled over the realms. And the key to halting them might very well rely on Cassian and Nesta facing their haunting pasts. Against the sweeping backdrop of a world seared by war and plagued with uncertainty, Nesta and Cassian battle monsters from within and without as they search for acceptance-and healing-in each other's arms.

The definitive account of one of American history’s most repellent and most fascinating moments, combining investigative journalism and sweeping social history "Years later, the tale of murder and revenge in Georgia still has the power to fascinate...Intense, suspenseful.” —The Washington Post Book World In 1913, 13-year-old Mary Phagan was found brutally murdered in the basement of the Atlanta pencil factory where she worked. The factory manager, a college-educated Jew named Leo Frank, was arrested, tried, and convicted in a trial that seized national headlines. When the governor commuted his death sentence, Frank was kidnapped and lynched by a group of prominent local citizens. Steve Oney’s acclaimed account re-creates the entire story for the first time, from the police investigations to the gripping trial to the brutal lynching and its aftermath. Oney vividly renders Atlanta, a city enjoying newfound prosperity a half-century after the Civil War, but still rife with barely hidden prejudices and resentments. He introduces a Dickensian pageant of characters, including zealous policemen, intrepid reporters, Frank’s martyred wife, and a fiery populist who manipulated local anger at Northern newspapers that pushed for Frank’s exoneration.
