When flying jellyfish rise out of the ocean and maraud through Qualicum Beach, Canada’s “oldest” town, they set off a media circus that makes the sleepy retirement community an unlikely darling of every news organization and disaster fan on the planet. But as the jellies’ astonishing reproductive capacities and indiscriminate appetites become dangerously apparent—and the world beyond “God’s Waiting Room” begins to feel the flyers’ gelatinous power—panic sets in.
Stranded in Qualicum Beach by the growing global crisis, an incongruous team—a feisty eco-gardener, a randy admiral, a flirtatious spy, and a jellyfish-loving marine biologist—come together to uncover the secret behind the jellyfish invasion before the jellies replace humanity at the top of the global food chain.
In this fast-moving sci-fi satire of corporate greed, media claptrap, institutional stupidity, small-town politics, and the age-old urge to turn a profit regardless of consequences, the four unlikely detectives navigate an increasingly chaotic and deadly environment in search of answers.
Can humanity learn to live with creatures that eat everything and reproduce by the millions?

On a small, uneventful island, high atop a vast mountain, sits the Sugilite Warrior Academy. Here, youth hoping to become fierce and powerful Warriors, sworn to protect the islands from thieves, bandits, and others who seek to cause havoc, are rigorously trained under the iron fists of the Academy's Masters. Students vow themselves into servitude towards their fellow humans, sworn to protect and perform their duties selflessly and courageously against any who would attempt to disrupt the peace of the islands. But what happens when Warriors decide that their magnificent skill set is better used for their own personal gain, no matter the cost?

Dominica Salvatore has spent her life striking fear into the hearts of vampires. Known as the Reaper, she is a fearless warrior who has made it her mission to rid the world of as many vampires as possible. She is deadly with her set of ring daggers, and takes no prisoners when it comes to confronting bloodsuckers that lurk in the night. All except one… Xavier Valin has seen many vampire kings come and go. At over four hundred years old, he was even offered the chance to rule, but being tied down without the freedom to live as he chooses was too much for him to bear. However, he takes great pleasure in joining the fight against the vampire hunters as the war between these two enemies reaches a fever pitch. He’s always on the lookout for the one hunter who makes his blood boil, Dominica, or Little Deadly, as he calls her. He’s had one opportunity to taste her blood, and he can’t wait for the next.
Dominica and Xavier are thrown into each other’s trajectories once more as deception runs rampant through the hunter and vampire ranks. The chemistry between them is undeniable, but giving in to their passions means turning their backs on their respective clans. The final nail in the coffin comes when they are given the ultimate command to kill one another…or die trying.
