REUNION (Book 1): A reccurring nightmare -- a psychic link to the past -- causes Carolyn Stoddard Hawkes to make a series of startling discoveries about herself, her psychic mother, and the sister she never knew she had. With Julia Hoffman accompanying her, Carolyn embarks on a journey back to the year 1799 to avert the horrible death that awaits Victoria Winters at the hands of an unknown assailant. And in the present, Barnabas and the rest of the family fear that Laura Collins may be returning once again to claim her soul -- or worse, that David might be transforming into a supernatural phoenix himself. It is a time of discoveries...of choices ... and reunions. Price: $15.00
RETRIBUTION (Book 2): Victoria Winters' return to the present day -- and the family that she has there -- is marred by the sudden reappearance of Nicholas Blair, who has arrived in Collinsport in search of a powerful ancient artifact which will give him nearly unlimited power.

In an attempt to sway Barnabas to leave Collinsport, she reawakens memories of a previous life, when they lived and loved more than 100 years before meeting in Martinique. As events unfold and Victoria Winters watches helplessly as Carolyn is possessed by past life incarnations, she feels an overwhelming sense of dread and doom as she at last learns the identity of her father.
