One Angel. One Girl. One Chance. Demons are winning the war between
good and evil as they continue to kill guardian angels. The ripple
effect is causing humans the world over to descend into a war of
their own without their heavenly protectors. One of the last angels
falls to earth in an attempt to gather the remaining few humans so
they can unite in the final battle. What he didn't expect to find
was the intriguing girl who helps and captivates him while solving
the ancient riddle that can save both worlds. Finding a forbidden
love in a hopeless place, they put everything on the line as they
hold on to their faith in each other. They must find the courage to
continue their quest while the world crumbles around them.
Ten-year-old Keely Rosalie Tucker is a modern-day knight with no
armor. Constantly bullied by a neighbor boy, Keely struggles to
find her place in the world in which she is comforted only by the
stories her Gramms has told her about enchanted, faraway places,
where unicorns, fairies, and angels protect children from life's
everyday pains and dangers. Now all Keely has to do is figure out
how to call them to help her.
Everything changes when her beloved Gramms suddenly dies and
gifts Keely with her aging horse, Mariah-setting the stage for an
adventure. Keely discovers that Mariah can talk, and she soon finds
her way to a hidden valley over the moon and beyond rainbows where
monsters and dragons disturb and invade the peace of mind. Now she
must learn to believe in herself and develop her secret powers in
order to deliver a miracle before it is too late.
In this delightful and charming fantasy tale, a little girl
learns to summon her courage and rely on her imagination as she
opens her heart and mind to the sounds of the possible in a
last-ditch effort to save a friend.

Fifteen-year-old Justine Ross and her family travel to London,
England for what is to be a three-week vacation. While they are
there, Justine's father is to speak at a medical symposium . After
they arrive, Justine notices a shadowy figure dressed in black
which randomly appears wherever they are. She soon realizes no one
else sees the mystery figure. To top it all off, she hears a voice
tell her that time is running out! Out for what? And why her?
Frustration, fear and curiosity take hold of her as she seeks to
learn the answer. The answer comes during a daytrip to Stonehenge
when the identity of the shadowy figure is revealed. The Ross
family suddenly find themselves transported back in time to an age
of sorcerers, and kings and the magic of Wiltshire for a
once-in-a-lifetime vacation.
Spensa's world has been under attack for hundreds of years. An
alien race called the Krell leads onslaught after onslaught from
the sky in a never-ending campaign to destroy humankind. Humanity's
only defense is to take to their ships and fight the enemy in the
skies. Pilots have become the heroes of what's left of the human
race. Spensa has always dreamed of being one of them; of soaring
above Earth and proving her bravery. But her fate is intertwined
with her father's - a pilot who was killed years ago when he
abruptly deserted his team, placing Spensa's chances of attending
flight school somewhere between slim and none. No one will let
Spensa forget what her father did, but she is still determined to
fly. And the Krell just made that a possibility. They've doubled
their fleet, making Spensa's world twice as dangerous . . . but
their desperation to survive might just take her skyward . . .
