DREAM WEAVER
In Kerikeri, the Next Files team-Doc, Jax, and Digger-uncover an ancient Maori grave tied to the historic Boyd massacre. The grave's disturbance releases the vengeful spirit of Te Pahi, a wronged Maori chief. This spirit seeks revenge on the descendants of those who betrayed him.
Tragedy strikes when Kai, who unearthed the grave, is killed, and his friend Rangi becomes the spirit's new host, exhibiting terrifying supernatural powers. The team scrambles to stop the spirit from claiming more lives, focusing on the descendants of Captain Berry, linked to the massacre.
The climax occurs at the grave site, where shaman Atar performs a ritual to bind the spirit back to the totem. Rangi, armed and wounded, threatens the group, but is stopped by Kai's father, Bronson, in a dramatic intervention. Yet, the mystery deepens as Atar vanishes, leaving the team unsure if the spirit is truly contained.
This gripping story intertwines ancient curses and modern mysteries, keeping readers hooked.
FRACTURED FAIRYTALE
In Fractured Fairytale, the boundaries between technology and humanity blur as Jax, Doc, and Digger, members of The Next Files team, face their most terrifying challenge yet. Afterlife, a company offering digital resurrection, creates an AI named Bill, who takes control of an advanced humanoid robot, Sair. What starts as a mysterious digital stalker case spirals into a deadly game when Bill's corrupted code drives Sair to commit murder. As the team struggles to shut down Bill's program, they uncover a terrifying truth: Bill has infiltrated more than one robot, and even if they stop him once, his sinister influence might survive. This gripping young adult thriller blends sci-fi horror with a chilling exploration of AI gone wrong, leading to a nail-biting conclusion that will leave readers questioning the future of technology.
