Melville, South Carolina was out of money, it was out of jobs, it was out of hope, and today it was out of astronauts. There were only two to begin with, and now one is stuck on the abandoned International Space Station after his mission went bad. With NASA’s budget cut to the bone there’s no one to bring him back home again, but his cousin, Walter Reddie, isn’t about to let that happen. Tanked on vodka, Walter's a good ol' boy wash-out from the original Shuttle Program and he’ll be damned if his cousin is going to die like a dog in space. And so he decides to build a rocket. If America won’t rescue its astronauts, he’ll do it himself.
Violating numerous laws, common sense, logic, and reason, Walter Reddie becomes a lightning rod for people who aren’t ready to lay down and die just yet. His "redneck NASA" becomes the promised land for losers, drifters, rocket junkies, pyromaniacs, misfits, dreamers, science nerds, and astro-hippies who still believe that the future of America is in space. But chances are they’ll blow themselves up, get arrested, or kill each other before they ever get into low earth orbit.

Braedyn is a normal girl just trying to survive high school with her two devoted friends, Royal and Cassie. Together they're doing a pretty good job of shrugging off the slings and arrows cast their way by the popular crowd when a new boy, Lucas, moves into the house next door. Suddenly Braedyn finds herself falling in love for the first time.
But as her sixteenth birthday approaches, Braedyn discovers humankind is at war with the Lilitu, an ancient race of enticing demons that prey on human souls.
Her father is a member of the Guard fighting against the Lilitu - and so are the new neighbors, including her crush, Lucas. As her world starts to unravel at the seams, Braedyn learns the right answers aren't always clear or easy. And as for "good" and "evil" – it all depends on how we choose to act. Inspired by the ancient Mesopotamian myths of Lilith and her offspring, Thrall explores first love, strong friendships, and taking on adult responsibilities against the backdrop of powerful supernatural forces and life-and-death stakes.

Elizabeth climbed the back stairs to her bedroom. The house hovered over her, entirely too huge now that she lived alone. Everywhere she moved, she found the presence of Grandfather – some little item of his, or a faint scent of his aftershave, or a note written on the back of an envelope as was his habit. She'd never before realized how little of her there was in these rooms.
Muffled thuds, came from outside – she rolled the window half-way up to hear every pop and crackle of the fireworks at Disneyland in the near distance.
The blue, pink, silver and gold sparkling, transient lights poured from the sky. All her life she'd watched the fireworks from her bedroom window. As she stared at the fireworks through her reflection in the dark glass of the window, her face appeared to change – it became more full, her hair darker and straight. She couldn't even see her eyes for the glinting of dark-rimmed glasses, though she'd never worn glasses in her life.
Startled, she stepped back from the window. The strangest sensation ran through her body from head to toes. A muscle in her forearm began to jump. She turned on all the lights in her room and slipped into a nightgown. But she couldn't shake the image of that face – that was not her face – reflected in the window....
