Lilith Appleton cuidou da educação de Helen Cole por boa parte da juventude da garota. Ela conheceu a menina quando o pai, C.K. Cole, morreu em circunstâncias trágicas. Seu primeiro encontro com Helen é desafiador: ela resgata a garota da prisão e logo percebe que a rebeldia e o descaso de sua protegida são sintomas de algo mais profundo. Vivendo em Wyndhorn, a propriedade da família Cole, as duas se aproximam, e Lilith ganha a confiança de Helen. Assim, a jovem passa a relatar à tutora as aventuras estranhas que vive na companhia do avô, Barnabas, um homem instigante e ausente. Partindo do relato de Lilith, a trama de Helen de Wyndhorn vai se revelando aos poucos, por meio de fragmentos do passado: pelo depoimento da preceptora, pelas memórias do jornalista e biógrafo de C.K. Cole, pelas relíquias remanescentes da história do escritor tão célebre quanto enigmático e de sua família misteriosa. Uma história sobre família, legado e pertencimento, Helen de Wyndhorn combina elementos de fantasia épica, gótico e magia em uma narrativa envolvente e delicada, que ganha vida nas ilustrações deslumbrantes de Bilquis Evely.

"Baghdad, 2003. The War on Terror has been raging for two years. Iraq's capital city has been devastated, and without a police force to keep its citizens safe. In an effort to establish some semblance of order in the war-torn city, Florida cop-turned-military consultant Chris Henry has been assigned to train a new group of cadets who will take up the cause of law enforcement. But even those with good intentions are not immune to the chaos found in the post-9/11 Middle East. When one of Henry's trainees is found dead, he's forced to align himself with Nassir, the last policeman in Baghdad to try to unravel the bloody mystery that's already claimed one life. While Henry and Nassir search for answers there are forces in the shadows pulling strings that these men don't even know they're tied to. With a wonderfully brutal script by Tom King (GRAYSON, THE OMEGA MEN) and devastatingly beautiful art by Mitch Gerads (The Punisher, The Activity), this wartime crime drama takes you deep into the underworld of the city of Baghdad in one of the most tumultuous times in modern history"--

A stirringly evocative, thought-provoking, and often jaw-dropping account of SEAL Team Operator Robert O'Neill's awe-inspiring 400-mission career. O'Neill describes his idyllic childhood in Butte, Montana; his impulsive decision to join the SEALs; the arduous evaluation and training process; and the even tougher gauntlet he had to run to join the SEALs' most elite unit. After officially becoming a SEAL, O'Neill would spend more than a decade in the most intense counterterror effort in US history. For extended periods, not a night passed without him and his small team recording multiple enemy kills--and though he was lucky enough to survive, several of the SEALs he'd trained with and fought beside never made it home.
