The Fourth Level – Book 16 – Contingent

Contingent

Diana Cambridge and Tristan Merrick have set their lives at a change of course, but as the time ticks, Tristan’s anxieties are mixed with uncertainty of the future ahead of him. When Charlemagne invites the couple to the manor, they announce the changes in their lives to a troubled Charlemagne who reveals the magnum opus of his innovations: a device he believes can take him into the future.

However, the completion of this long-time project is not what troubles Charlemagne as the couple soon find out when their guardian quietly leaves them in order to correct the mistakes of his past, which has resulted in close friends of theirs, or family really, to have wandered into the time machine and become lost in a different world to their own. Diana and Tristan instantly go after Charlemagne, but only for themselves to become lost in a different world where they are forced to confront the issues at hand, which for Tristan, takes the form of confronting his own demons, himself, and then evil itself in order to become the man that he needs to be in order to save Diana, his family, and all those that he loves.

The Fourth Level – Book 14 – Evolution

The end of summer is nigh and it is time for Diana Cambridge and Tristan Merrick to return from Isla Paraiso and come to their new home in the City of Harlech, where they are set to begin their first semester at university.

However, this change of scenery, livelihood, and environment unsettles both Diana and Tristan, who grow distant from each other. The changes are most dire within Tristan whose unstable psyche grows increasingly to a tipping point as all that he thought he knew, hoped, and dreamed becomes fantasy, and the weight of responsibility and expectation become too much on him. These changes are more subtle for Diana, but she holds steady as she comes closer to her Christian faith, but even the sanctity of the Church is not free from the subversion of evil and she comes under as well.

Will Diana and Tristan’s relationship hold steady in the face of this inevitable storm, or is this the end of the couple? Can anyone save them, or were they doomed from the start? Will they be able to adapt to the changes and overcome the darkness ahead…?

The Fourth Level – Book 11 – Advent

Advent

In the aftermath of the last adventure, only Tristan Merrick is certain of what had occurred to be true, while Charlemagne de la Cabernet and Diana Cambridge are less certain. Nonetheless, in an effort to come to an understanding in what really happened last Halloween, Charlemagne and the kids attend psychotherapy sessions at the local hospital.

However, when Tristan suddenly recalls a traumatic memory from his early childhood during one of these sessions, he quickly becomes obsessed as he starts to question his family origins and where he came from. This obsession takes him and Diana on their own adventure in the form of a road trip as Tristan pursues the truth in who he is and who his parents were, seeking to come home. Meanwhile, Charlemagne as well as other parties chase after Tristan as he recklessly abandons the safety of Allabrese to learn what he wants to know about himself.

Who were Tristan’s parents? Is this memory real, or a stain from the last adventure? To what extent will Tristan’s emotions drive him in this obsessive journey sourced on a whim, and likewise, to what extent will Diana’s emotions exhaust as she stays loyal to Tristan in this seemingly crazed state…?

The Fourth Level – Book 9 – Firestorm

Diana Cambridge and Tristan Merrick are set to meet with Charlemagne de la Cabernet after not seeing him for two months since their adventure in France, and of all the locations in the world that they could meet, Charlemagne has decided to have their rendezvous at Northumbria-Berwick National Park on the British Isles. Incidentally, less than a day into their camping vacation, the family are forced to evict the forest due to the sudden rise of a deadly wildfire that has begun to spread from the north of the forest on the English-Scottish border.

Between the insidious destructive power of the forest fire and the likewise destructive power of the mainstream media and their lackies that blame Cabernet Industries for the fire, Charlemagne attempts to set a good public image by volunteering to help defeat the flames with his private security detail. However, in the process, Tristan becomes separated from the group and instead meets up with a mysterious boy who Tristan remains with as they have an affinity to each other, especially as Tristan suspects there to be more to this boy than he lets on.

Who is this boy? Is Cabernet Industries responsible for the fire? Is anyone responsible for the fire, or was this blaze simply the result of the path of nature…?

The Fourth Level – Book 3 – Wilderness

The holiday season has beset in Allabrese, and Charlemagne de la Cabernet is taking Diana and Tristan on a vacation to the annual Cabernet Expo set at the Tsarina Ski Resort just above the Russian town of Podoshva in the Ural Mountains. To bring the family together, Charlemagne’s sister, Allodia de la Cabernet, and her boyfriend, Georgy Saburov, join them on a trip where all seems too well for anything to go wrong.

However, all is too well, and Charlemagne becomes suspicious of the resort when he sees Russian troops patrolling nearby out of fear that they intend to hijack the inventions at the expo. Theft is the least of his concerns though as a blackout plummets the family into darkness at their cabin, and they become stranded to who knows what lies beyond the confines of the resort.

What could await the family in the Ural Mountains? Is it merely the Russian Army on executive orders? Or perhaps there is something more terrifying threatening the family’s survival in the great Russian outdoors…

55-year old eccentric billionaire, Charlemagne de la Cabernet, had thought that he had lived the good life filled with adventures, mystery-solving, innovation, and inventing… until now. At his age, he has found himself stuck in the mud of a deep depression without the will to find, or return, to what had once motivated him. In his last act, he intends to sell off his family’s legacy, Cabernet Industries, a multinational billion-dollar conglomerate with stakes in almost every economic sector and roots to the nineteenth century.

However, on the day that he intends to finalize the liquidation, Charlemagne finds himself responsible for a fourteen-year old orphan from Harlech, Diana Cambridge, which forces him to delay his plans until Diana can be moved to a foster home. Diana, horrified by Charlemagne’s plans to sell the company and its various assets to a group of unreliable, amoral, and malicious multinational corporations, she allies with Charlemagne’s brother, Salmar Cabernet, and his own fourteen-year adopted son, Tristan Merrick, to attempt to bring Charlemagne back on his feet.

Can the three of them return a smile onto Charlemagne’s face? Or will the adventure end before they can even begin?
