Into the Beyond - Part 1: Fated - Paul James Keyes
A tale of twisted fate…
High school sophomore Lewis Graham is awoken by a seemingly all-knowing creature appearing through a portal in his bedroom. The impish fellow tells him he is important later, and that in order to reach his destiny it is imperative he does exactly what he’s told.
When he follows the creature’s instructions, the cheerleader he’s been crushing on is suddenly within his grasp—bullies start dropping like flies!
But then a Native American girl sneaks Lewis a note containing three simple words, launching him down a frightening and thought-provoking path:
Don’t Trust It.
This time-bending series packs a psychologically spine-chilling punch.
Into the Beyond - Part 2: Far From Human - Paul James Keyes
The Beyond exists outside of time,
and its threats are far from human.
Part 2 of the Into the Beyond series brings new meaning to the term ‘self-fulfilling prophecy’ as unwitting hero Lewis Graham uses the riverbank of the Beyond to travel back up the river of time and re-live the events of Part 1 from a whole new perspective.
Armed only with a prophetic journal written by other versions of himself who failed at the journey ahead, Lewis must secretly help his slightly-younger self escape from the Agares—a sinister enemy that wishes to erase not only Lewis, but all of humanity by harvesting the energy of our universe‘s very creation.
A brief warning in the journal’s pages fails to provide peace of mind.
When the Agares are near, time stands still around you. Pretend to freeze, and whatever you do, don’t forget:

Into the Beyond - Part 3: Fires of Heaven - Paul James Keyes
The Beyond exists outside of time...
The fires of heaven burn across the ages.
Josie's summer camp experience is interrupted by blood-sucking ghasts
that lure in their victims with the sounds of crying children.
The horrors come in many forms in this run-for-your-life action-packed
adventure.
Angels
wept the day the heavens burned. The mortal realm stood in awe as the
glow of the flames bled through into our sky. We laid out on blankets,
pointing up at the shimmering glow, unknowing. If only our eyes had
been aimed lower, perhaps we would have seen that the terrors held to
the fringes no longer.
Josie
continued to watch the shadow in silence for some time, certain that it
was no more than their wild imaginations playing tricks on their
eyes... that is... until Channie whimpered a fearful gasp and the
too-tall form slowly receded into the forest.
The Arcadian Complex - Book 1: Wrought by Fire - Paul James Keyes
The Arcadian Complex - Book 2: Ashen Sky - Paul James Keyes
A magical doorway is rediscovered. Any who dare enter are
teleported to the Lost City of Sultrim, a dilapidated city, nestled high
within the Arid Hills. An artifact of great power is rumored to reside
there, but all who set forth to retrieve it are never heard from again.
Perhaps the Guardians of the Sun—giant winged bears created by the wizards of old—are not as extinct as the scholars believe.
On the civilized side of the doorway, times are far from ideal in the Glowing City of Erotos. The struggle for power blurs the lines of friend and foe. Between the Arcanum, the queen, the Ver’konus, and the threat of enemy agents hiding in plain sight, everyone is a pawn in somebody’s deadly game.
The military academy holds claim over Javic and Belford, but with all-out war looming on the horizon, and unpredictable fluctuations of the Power literally tearing the streets of Erotos apart beneath their feet, there is little time to focus on their mandated training.
Belford’s past becomes clear as his memories resurface, but the more he learns about who he is and where he came from, the less certain the future becomes. Can Belford stitch together the shards of his forgotten memories before his past inevitably catches up with him?
