Unbeknownst to mortals, a power struggle is unfolding in a world
of shadows and danger. After centuries of stability, the balance
among the Faery Courts has altered, and Irial, ruler of the Dark
Court, is battling to hold his rebellious and newly vulnerable fey
together. If he fails, bloodshed and brutality will follow.
Seventeen-year-old Leslie knows nothing of faeries or their
intrigues. When she is attracted to an eerily beautiful tattoo of
eyes and wings, all she knows is that she has to have it, convinced
it is a tangible symbol of changes she desperately craves for her
own life.
The tattoo does bring changes--not the kind Leslie has dreamed
of, but sinister, compelling changes that are more than symbolic.
Those changes will bind Leslie and Irial together, drawing Leslie
deeper and deeper into the faery world, unable to resist its
allures, and helpless to withstand its perils. . . .
A thrilling gothic tale of hubris gone badly wrong. A young man's
search for the secret of the spark of life leads him to a horrific
experiment in which he creates a gigantic creature from dismembered
body parts. Rejected by his creator, the initially gentle creature
turns monstrous when his desire to find companionship and love are
thwarted. Tanya Landman revisits Mary Shelley's classic Gothic
horror story, bringing to life Dr Frankenstein and his monstrous
creation in an accessible format that more readers can enjoy.
IT'S A RACE AGAINST TIME. In Remembrance, Lizzie and Drew changed
the course of fate so they could be together. In Vengeance, Chelsea
set fate back on its original, deadly path. Now, strange things
keep happening to Lizzie. Things that are omens of darkness to
come. A curse has doomed her to die an early death, just as she did
in her past life. To make matters worse, even if she can figure out
who cast the curse, it's irreversible. There's only one option left
for her to save herself. It's crazier than anything she's heard
yet, and to do it, she'll need Drew and Chelsea's help. Because to
make things right, they must go back to when it all began ... and
Lizzie discovers that the final events in her past life were more
sinister than she ever imagined.

Disaster Strikes Several months have passed since Fairy Princess
Elizabeth rejoined the kingdoms of Elnara and Kellmorgen. With
endless details to be worked out between the two kingdoms, life at
Castle North is busy indeed. When news arrives of the birth of Lady
Margaret's baby, everyone rejoices at the opportunity to attend the
Naming Ceremony and Celebration at Lakeland Castle. But at the last
planning meeting before they are to depart, Prince Aden
unexpectedly proposes marriages of alliance between the two
kingdoms, he to Edric's sister, Lady Shaylee, and Princess Clara to
Elizabeth's brother, Lord Lark. Putting duty first, Shaylee and
Lark are now resigned to giving up their love for the good of the
kingdoms, but Elizabeth and Edric refuse to abandon hope. As they
struggle to find a way to avoid the marriages without offending the
Kellmorgs, disaster strikes Lakeland Castle, prompting the
appearance of a most unexpected visitor.
Cassel comes from a family of curse workers--people who have the
power to change your emotions, your memories, your luck, all by the
slightest touch of their hands. Since curse work is illegal,
they're all criminals. But not Cassel. He hasn't got the magic
touch, so he's an outsider--the straight kid in a crooked
family--as long as you ignore one small detail: He killed his best
friend, Lila. Now he is sleepwalking, propelled into the night by
terrifying dreams about a white cat. He also notices that his
brothers are keeping secrets from him. As Cassel begins to suspect
he's part of one huge con game, he must unravel his past and his
memories. To find out the truth, Cassel will have to outcon the
conmen.
A Magical Adventure David knew that one should be prepared for
anything when one climbs a mountain, but he never dreamed what he
would find that June morning on the mountain ledge. There stood an
enormous bird, with a head like an eagle, a neck like a swan, and a
scarlet crest. The most astonishing thing was that the bird had an
open book on the ground and was reading from it This was David's
first sight of the fabulous Phoenix and the beginning of a pleasant
and profitable partnership. The Phoenix found a great deal lacking
in David's education-he flunked questions like "How do you tell a
true from a false Unicorn?"-and undertook to supplement it with a
practical education, an education that would be a preparation for
Life. The education had to be combined with offensive and defensive
measures against a Scientist who was bent on capturing the Phoenix,
but the two projects together involved exciting and hilarious
adventures for boy and bird. A wonderful read-aloud book,
adventurous and very funny, with much of the magic as well as the
humor of the fantastic.
