They called her Prism, as if that was her name. Forced to take on a
new identity to protect herself from a still-angry people, Merelin
Lindon wants nothing more than to help bring the world of Arah Byen
into some kind of balance. But nothing is going as planned. The
High King Zhabyr is falling apart. Merelin's allies have scattered,
and even Yatol is acting more mysterious and tormented than ever.
And just when Merelin believes things can't get any worse, she is
framed for a terrible crime, and deserted by those who should have
defended her. But Merelin soon realizes that she is not the victim
of a horrible plot, but just one more pawn in a deadly game she
never really understood. It is the game immortals play, and nothing
can prepare her for the truths that are coming to light, or the
enemy she knows she will have to face. In the coming fight Merelin
cannot stand alone. But can she bring her allies together before it
is too late?

Victor and Eli started out as college roommates brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognized the same ambition in each other. A shared interest in adrenaline, near-death experiences, and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong.
Ten years later, Victor breaks out of prison, determined to catch up to his old friend (now foe), aided by a young girl with a stunning ability. Meanwhile, Eli is on a mission to eradicate every other super-powered person that he can find aside from his sidekick, an enigmatic woman with an unbreakable will. Armed with terrible power on both sides, driven by the memory of betrayal and loss, the arch-nemeses have set a course for revenge but who will be left alive at the end?
This title is suitable for ages 9 to 13 years. Living in a block of
flats that looks across to Edinburgh Castle, Alex, a keen climber,
dreams of scaling the north face of the Rock on which the castle
stands. But it's illegal to do so. Is it this dream that makes him
accept the challenge to travel back in time when he is contacted by
scientist from the world's distant future. They send him back to
the night in 1314 when a desperate band of Scots fighters scaled
the Rock: He witnesses the dreadful killing of the Sassenach
soldiers as the lay asleep drugged by their Scots servants. Fourth
