    S2.5 Alina's Ring
    During World War II, a wounded German soldier stumbles into the home of an Italian peasant family. As the daughter nurses the soldier back to health, she falls madly in love with him without realizing—or does she?—that it was his comrades who murdered her mother and father. Her obsessive, uncompromising passion can lead only to a grisly finale

    S2.1 Warm-blooded
    James Morello works the night shift on a far away space station. During one of his shifts, he realizes there’s something else out there with him in vast, emptiness.

    Trey Stone grew up in rural Norway, the youngest of three siblings, excluding his younger brother who doesn’t count. Trey was always fascinated with stories, choosing more often than not to sit still and read and write about adventures than to run around outside having them in person.
    Trey has written five novels, including The Consequence of Loyalty, A State of Despair, A Form of Revenge, At The Gate & A Death Worth Living, and Fjordbeist, which is in Norwegian. He’s also written a handful of short stories.
    He has a degree in archaeology from the University of Southampton – what is archaeology if not storytelling, -building, -making, -sharing, and -investigating – and when he’s not writing he spends his time working as a slightly shorter (but much prettier) Harrison Ford-wannabe.
    Trey plays guitar with Norwegian death metal band Dark Delirium and sings, writes and plays in singer-songwriter folk-pop band Maryon. He likes playing video games, his favorites being anything by Bethesda, the main Pokemon series, and he has a nostalgic love for the Warcraft universe.
    He’ll occasionally run, though he much prefers to lift weights. He’s an uncle to at least 15 kids and he loves to travel if it wasn’t for the fact that it’s such a pain in the ass to do.
    Trey lives on an Arctic island, at 78 degrees north, where he works protecting the cultural heritage.
    Trey can be found on most social media as @TreyStoneAuthor
