Tania is a princess of the Faerie court. But the court now lies
in ruins.
Back from the Mortal World of modern London, Tania returns to
Faerie with the long-lost Queen Titania. But when they cross
between the worlds, they find only devastation. The evil Sorcerer
King of Lyonesse is now free of his amber prison, and the Faerie
court is falling into decay as he grows in power.
Now it's up to Tania and her true love, Edric, to rescue King
Oberon, their only hope of defeating the evil Sorcerer King. And
Tania must prepare to fight a war she may not survive, one that
will determine whether she must return to the Mortal World--this
time for good.

Any person who leaves the country to go to another and later returns will be put to death. This was the law in Japan in the early 1800s. When fourteen-year-old Manjiro, working on a fishing boat to help support his family, was shipwrecked three hundred miles away from his homeland, he was heartbroken to think that he would never again be able to go home. So when an American whaling boat rescued him, Manjiro decided to do what no other Japanese person had ever done: He went to America, where he received an education and took part in events that eventually made him a hero in the Land of the Rising Sun.
Quebrado has been traded from pirate ship to ship in the
Caribbean Sea for as long as he can remember. The sailors he toils
under call him "el quebrado"--half islander, half outsider, a
broken one. Now the pirate captain Bernardino de Talavera uses
Quebrado as a translator to help navigate the worlds and words
between his mother's Taino Indian language and his father's
Spanish.
But when a hurricane sinks the ship and most of its crew, it is
Quebrado who escapes to safety. He learns how to live on land
again, among people who treat him well. And it is he who must
decide the fate of his former captors. Latino interest.
