Poe: Nevermore is an Edgar Allan Poe-inspired gothic thriller in which a young woman must race against time and death to save those she loves while struggling with depression, a new relationship complicated by her past, and an abusive former foster-father.

If Poe cannot recognize the curse unfolding in time, it will destroy the lives of all those close to her and annihilate her sanity.

Rural Australia, 1900. Five years have passed since the slope gave out and the dirt fell, but the body of Matthew Faulds has yet to be exhumed. Mary Faulds, twenty-four years old and five years widowed, struggles to move past the loss of her husband while managing the farm left to her and raising the couple's only child, a bright five-year-old named Lilith.

As Lilith begins delivering sermons in her father's name, Mary's grip on the farm, her family, and her sanity wane. Plagued by disturbing omens, bodily horrors, and the rise of a dirt worshipping cult, she must fight and suffer with all she has to try and find peace for her lost love and a future for their child.

Poe is tired of losing people, tired of funerals and failure. In the six weeks since she buried her foster mother, she has worked relentlessly to transform herself into a different kind of dangerous, someone strong enough to fight for her loved ones and win instead of someone made up of broken pieces and sharp edges. It’s exhausting sometimes relearning how to believe in yourself and in other people, relearning how to be human, but Poe is determined. Responding to an ominous series of letters from her estranged grandparents, the wealthy Blackwings who snubbed her family’s funeral so many years ago, is not on Poe’s priority list, but with so little family left she can’t ignore her grandparents’ plea for one last chance to meet their granddaughter and make amends before they die, not even when it means traveling far from Baltimore to Savannah, Georgia, the most haunted city in America. In Savannah, the dead walk, and even an old enemy whose memory Poe has tried so hard to bury comes back to haunt her. Arming herself with supernatural talismans and a newfound iron will, Poe ventures into the Otherworld to fight her demons where they are most powerful...but can she prevail? Or will she be doomed to an afterlife as yet another specter haunting Savannah’s cobblestone streets?

The much-anticipated follow-up to Rest in Peace, Death's Mark finds Poe, Frost and Trina healing and seeking a new normal to found their lives on. But for Poe, there may never be a "new normal." The only other direct descendant of Edgar Allan Poe, a twenty-year-old girl named Tori, is seeking answers about her lineage, answers Poe only wishes she had. Meanwhile, Poe’s former foster-father has grown progressively more volatile and his actions are crushing his submissive wife to the point of threatening her very existence. Poe can hardly protect herself and her new patchwork family from Jonathon Aaron, much less find a way to rescue her helpless foster-mom from the clutches of the curse, and must choose between the people she loves most. Concluding with an epic final stand-off between Poe and the man who destroyed her childhood, Death's Mark depicts the tragic heroine's first hope for a future and her battle to hold onto that hope.
