Her destiny must be fulfilled . . .
Branwen refuses to take orders from anyone--even the Shining
Ones. The ancient gods have marked her as the one fated to save her
country from the Saxons. But is she truly ready to be a leader?
Then a messenger from the skies shows her a vision of a bleak
and violent future, a future in which Branwen has abandoned her

There's a blurry line between good and evil, and those Branwen
trusts the most are capable of the greatest betrayal. The Shining
Ones have spoken. Will Branwen answer their call?

The adventures of the time-travelling Butterfly Club continue . . .
When the Butterfly Club asks the time thieves to go to Paris and
steal a little-known painting known as the Mona Lisa, Aidan can
only think of one man who can make things disappear - Harry
Houdini. The three children and Houdini travel to 1911 Paris where
they face their most difficult mission yet. To add to the challenge
they soon discover they are not the only ones planning to steal the
Mona Lisa. A group of artists also seem intent on stealing the
portrait, as it contains hidden clues to a much greater treasure,
clues that were placed there in Renaissance times by the Mona
Lisa's creator Leonardo Da Vinci himself.
The thrilling and romantic second novel in the Incarnate
trilogy, a fantasy series about a girl who is the first new soul
born into a society where everyone else has been reborn hundreds of
times.
As a Newsoul, Ana has always felt alone. Some residents of Heart
are afraid of Ana's presence, a constant reminder of unstoppable
change and the unknown. When the people turn violent, Ana must
learn to stand up not only for herself, but also for those who
cannot stand up for themselves.
Romantic and action-filled, the rich world of Asunder is perfect
for fans of epic fantasy, like Graceling by Kristin Cashore and The
Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson, while Ana's courage to
expose the cracks in society and fight for what is right is ideal
for fans of dystopian novels.
