There will be a price to pay. As an average, hard working girl, Claire finds herself terrified and confused; in the middle of madness in the blink of an eye. She is being pursued, but by who and why? They want to acquire her. If she wants to live, the mysteries that shroud her past must be discovered before it's too late. They walk among us and hide in plain sight. Claire cannot fathom that they are wholly evil, abominations really. She will have to fight and sacrifice for what she believes is right and true. She had to have a protector. She didn't want one but she knew that she must have one. She recognized the controlled violence in this man. She had known from the start he would be the one.

He was a hardened killer; a killer of the Ones--those that walk amongst us and hide in plain sight. It was just another assignment for him and he wanted to be rid of her as soon as possible. She owned an antique store and lived her life organized; with a nice, quiet, normal routine but there were things from her past that wouldn't go away. They wanted to acquire her. He was determined to make sure that didn't happen. The Ones are mounting plans to take over civilization as we know it. Can Brooke and Dragone forge a partnership to help align the rebellion? Will Jonathon win the day or will Xen seal all their fates?

Taylor's family had patiently waited a whole year for this. Being on vacation in Ocean City was the stuff kid's dreams were made of; cotton candy, sun, sand, waves, pizza, crabs, the boardwalk, and the carnival. For two whole weeks every year they packed their belongings and headed down to Ocean City, Maryland. Once there, their parents let most of the rules about healthy eating fall away during vacation. Taylor and her brother Alan are having the time of their lives doing fun activities like swimming, playing in the sun and surf, staying up as late as they want, to buying an awesome new kite. Everyone is getting along and having fun. Everything is picture perfect until they spend the afternoon at the carnival. The House of Mirrors, where you can be skinny and tall, thin or wide. But this House of Mirrors has something else besides mirrors in it, something Taylor and Alan have never experienced before. Something that will scare and amaze them-The House of Mirrors, where all is not as it seems. Taylor and Alan must find their way back from the Land of Spark, while helping the people that live there get out from under the control of the bad wizard. Can two children outsmart the powerful wizard, save the people that are from the Land of Spark, and possibly find their way back home?
