The war for Portents has begun. The mayor is dead, his cause of death: a Greystone. Soriya flees into the shadows of the night, accused of a heinous murder. She is alone; those who trusted her, including Greg Loren, now stand against her. But even Detective Loren doesn’t see what this truly is: a distraction. From the shadows rises a new threat, one that has lain in wait from the beginning. She ushers in the return of the Heads of Cerberus—and with it, the promise of Portents’ last sunrise. Meanwhile, Loren inches closer to finding the truth about Beth’s murder. But can his shattered heart face the truth of his late wife’s killer—or about the secrets she harbored from him in the months before her death? The climactic finale of the Greystone Saga’s first massive storyline will leave readers breathless and stunned, desolately questioning the motives of once-trusted characters.
Welcome to Portents—a city like no other. Every shadow leads to the darker side of the city, where myths and legends of old still exist and thrive… and scheme. Detective Greg Loren can’t wait to escape from it all. Since the death of his wife, he’s wished for nothing more than a fresh start. But fate has another plan for Loren. A series of murders has shaken the city, drawing not only his attention but that of his former partner, Soriya, a young woman who—with the power of an ancient and mysterious artifact called the Greystone—battles against the monsters in the dark. There is more to this murderer, though. Signs are left at each of the crime scenes, which speak to a deeper purpose. To solve this case, Loren and Soriya must unlock the hidden history of the city itself. Can they find a way to work together once more to stop the killer among them? Or will a madman’s scheme for revenge bring Portents to ruin? Fast-paced and thrilling, Signs of Portents will leave you on the edge of your seat, turning page after page.
The Daughters of Salem have returned. A doorway was opened and a threat from the earliest days of Portents has found its way home. The Daughters have a clear mission: to use the power of the doorkeeper and awaken a terrible darkness on the world. Soriya stands alone to face the threat. To do so, she must protect the magic-wielding doorkeeper—a woman in a desperate search to find her past. There is more at stake for Soriya, though, as Mentor levels one final test upon her. Should she pass, Soriya will at last earn the mantle of the Greystone. If she fails, however, all of Portents may succumb to the darkness within their souls. Her greatest challenge is only the beginning as the secrets of the city come to light in the epic final chapter of the Greystone-in-Training trilogy.
Death has come to the city of Portents. Dozens have fallen before a mysterious menace hiding among them. Their only connection is the grisly condition of their bodies—hollowed-out chasms where their eyes used to be. Setting aside the aging case on his wife’s murder, Detective Greg Loren has returned to the city with the task of stopping the bearer of the Medusa coin—an artifact with power over Death himself—from continuing to slaughter the people of Portents. Soriya, no longer able to control the enigmatic Greystone, grapples with the decision to forge ahead in the case on her own, leaving Loren behind. But without the two counterbalancing each other, Death may be the force that levels them both. Lou Paduano’s The Medusa Coin, the third exciting installment in the Greystone series, promises to raise the stakes to even greater heights, offering glimpses of a darker side to Portents readers never imagined.

Working together to unravel the secrets hidden in Portents, Soriya and Beth must learn to trust the other’s unique perspective. However, they aren’t the only ones seeking answers as the Minotaur turns his rage on the city… starting with Soriya’s beloved teacher.

Several surgeries on his cleft palate have left noticeable bumps and scars on his lip.

Then one day he secretly places his prized possession in an unusual place. When his family and closest friends ask him about the glove's whereabouts, Nicky follows with a long string of lies. Most are harmless fibs-but one falsehood leads to a catastrophe that changes Nicky's life. Join Nicky and the Kelsey Avenue Crew for a series of wild events that teach him about the power of the truth. -- "Elementary-school teacher and former sports reporter Petrucci weaves a poignant tale of a young boy with a cleft palate, who finds respite from the harsh realities of small-town life by playing baseball.
