Out of Tune gathers a collection of original dark fantasy tales inspired by folk ballads. Here you'll find stories of strange creatures and strangers humans, treachery and love, murder and monsters.

In the grand finale of the epic Deathstalker saga, Lewis Deathstalker and his beloved Jesamine are compelled to embrace the full might of their extraordinary new powers. The Empire and rebel forces must forge an uneasy alliance to battle a common enemy: the demonic Uber-espers, a conflict that leads to a startling revelation as to their origin. The deposed King Douglas finally confronts the usurper Finn Durandal face-to-face. And Owen Deathstalker’s quest to halt the onslaught of the monstrous Terror reaches its dramatic conclusion. 

Following the end of their quest to find the legendary Owen Deathstalker, Lewis and his group of Madness Maze survivors take the new rebel fleet in search of allies. On the Empire’s home world, the exiled King Douglas begins to marshal his own forces amid the outcasts of the Rookery, enlisting a number of unlikely elements to his cause. And the mightiest Deathstalker of them all plunges into the timestream to confront the relentless mad hunger of the being called the Terror. 

In the shocking conclusion of Deathstalker: Return, King Douglas is brought to trial before his treacherous former Champion, and the Paragon Emma Steel seeks the aid of Finn Durandal’s fellow conspirator. Elsewhere, the quest of Lewis Deathstalker and his weary band of renegades has finally brought them to the legendary planet Haden, home of the mysterious Madness Maze. Surprising developments there and an unexpected visitor strongly compel Lewis to risk his life and sanity by entering the Madness Maze to learn the truth about his legendary ancestor.

In the royal inner circle, the immovable wills of Lewis Deathstalker, the King’s Champion, and Jesamine Flowers, the King’s betrothed, labor in vain against the most irresistible force they’ve ever known. Or so they think. In fulfillment of Owen Deathstalker’s warning of 200 years earlier, a nightmarish alien entity has intruded into Human space, a creature that devours planets and suns and shrugs off any defense humanity hurls against it. 

Diana Vertue, known in an earlier life as the terrifying esper Jenny Psycho, had been a hardcore terrorist and a saint of the uber-esper Mater Mundi, but she'd outgrown both those roles. Now it’s time for a psychic showdown with the Mater Mundi herself.  

The armies of Shub have come to the planet Loki, and the over-extended parliament of the New Republic can only send the legendary hero Jack Random and his loose-cannon companion Ruby Journey to do their damnedest with the powers they’ve acquired from the Madness Maze. But when they get to the mining planet, they find the colony engaged in a civil war, with the representative government in the hands of unsavory profiteers who are at war with justifiably aggrieved rebel forces, who have unjustifiably aligned themselves with the rogue AIs of Shub. 

Owen Deathstalker was compelled to make a questionable decision when he reawakened the cyborg army of Hadenmen from suspended animation to enlist their aid in the Great Rebellion. Now he must face the consequences, for the Hadenmen have begun to act on their own agenda. The augmented race has ensnared a planet’s population to facilitate the next stage in mankind’s evolution and recreate all humanity in its own likeness.
