Three new tales from the world of Ethoes . . . CONQUER THE CASTLE
Jahrra and her friends are about to embark upon a very important
mission: to steal the flag of their nemesis, Eydeth, in a city-wide
game of Conquer the Castle. Will they be able to outwit their other
classmates in order to win the grand prize, or will the twins once
again make Jahrra the laughing stock of the whole school? THE
SPIRIT STONE RING The Mystic Archedenaeh has found reason to leave
the comfort of her forest home in the province of Oescienne. Before
she can move on, however, she must first verify a rumor she has
heard, but all she discovers is a treasured ring left behind as a
bitter reminder of the truth. FIRE AND ICE The Tanaan dragon Jaax
and his colleagues are called upon to save a small town from the
wrath of one of the Crimson King's evil dragons. In the process,
Jaax receives a minor injury, a nagging reminder of his failure
that soon becomes the symbol of another's triumph."
At the end of the long hallway I stepped through the broken stone
and out onto the terrace behind the castle. The waterfall cascading
down the steep hillside overwhelmed me with its mist, but I brushed
aside its icy chill and headed for the second staircase that led
into the caverns. Using touch alone, I located the dolmarehn that
would take me to the foot of the Weald and stepped through. As the
magic overcame me, I thought about Meghan, telling myself she was
safe under Fergus's care and that soon I would see her familiar
face once again. Caedehn MacRoich was sent to the mortal world for
one purpose: to hunt the Morrigan's renegade faelah. But he never
anticipated stumbling upon Meghan Elam, a young woman from his own
realm, nor did he expect to fall in love with her. Fate, however,
had other plans for Cade and when he broke his own geis to keep
Meghan safe, the Morrigan demanded retribution for his
disobedience. Now, in order to guarantee Meghan's safety Cade must
make a sacrifice that very well may drive him mad. With the Celtic
goddess of war playing tricks with his mind, Cade is called upon to
perform another duty. The Amsihria of the north, an elusive sect of
women responsible for taming Eile's powerful weather, are under
attack by a horrible monster from another realm. With the help of
his sister and her companions, Cade embarks on a journey that will
take him beyond the edge of the Weald and further away from Meghan.
Along the way he will be forced to contend with the Morrigan's
continuous assaults as well as his own doubts and fears, all the
while knowing that the young woman he's grown to love remains
vulnerable in the mortal world.
Suddenly, my pain and anger honed themselves into a sharp point,
one aimed directly at the goddess's heart. She had been controlling
Cade's life, my life, for far too long. And then, in a powerful
wave of realization strong enough to sweep the frantic tornado in
my mind off course and force the air from my lungs, I understood
what I needed to do . . . Meghan Elam knows that she belongs in the
Otherworld, but she doesn't know if she's quite ready to take that
leap. With Cade on the mend and her mortal family aware of their
daughter's true identity, everything seems lined up for her to make
a smooth transition into her new life. Unfortunately, Meghan has a
mortal enemy, an angry goddess who has not yet given up on her
chance for revenge. As Meghan struggles to find her place in Eile,
secrets from a past she knows nothing about well up and threaten to
tip the scales even further. And when the Morrigan vows to bring a
war down upon the Otherworld, she finds herself stuck in the middle
of an epic battle, one that promises to destroy all that she holds
dear. In order to save the ones she loves the most, Meghan must be
prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice and hope that she will be
strong enough to vanquish her enemy once and for all.
From the author of the Otherworld Trilogy . . . Three scenes from
Faelorehn, told from Cade's point of view. A Single Thread of Magic
Cade MacRoich is Ehriad, a faelah bounty hunter. When he is
compelled to deal with a collection of particularly nasty monsters
in the mortal world, he stumbles upon a stream of Faelorehn magic
that leads him to something astonishing. The Morrigan's Game The
children of the Weald are protected by the forest's ancient magic,
but when the Morrigan's faelah manage to break through that
barrier, Cade's sister calls upon him for help. Broken Geis Cade
has tried in vain to forget about the alluring Meghan Elam.
Unfortunately, the Morrigan's interest in the young Faelorehn girl
puts her in danger and makes Cade realize he is willing to risk
everything to keep her safe."
I never heard him come after me and even as I climbed the slope and
stumbled onto our shaded back lawn, I didn't look back. It was like
the day the gnomes chased me all over again, but this time I was
not escaping some horrible little creatures, I was fleeing from an
incredibly good-looking guy who could very well understand me
completely. I was either saving myself from that serial killer I
always imagined lived down in the swamp, or I had finally gone over
the deep end . . . Meghan Elam has been strange her entire life:
her eyes have this odd habit of changing color and she sees and
hears things no one else does. When the visions and voices in her
head start to get worse, she is convinced that her parents will
want to drag her off to another psychiatrist. That is, until the
mysterious Cade MacRoich shows up out of nowhere with an
explanation of his own. Cade brings her news of another realm where
goblins and gnomes are the norm, a place where whispering spirits
exist in the very earth, and a world where Meghan just might find
the answers she has always sought.
