Book Description
Ellis Landsman, a forester living in the Scottish Outlands in the 2020’s is shocked to find a wolf in his forest pawing at the ground. He is even more disturbed when he discovers that the wolf has uncovered the body of a young woman. He rescues the body and makes the long snow-covered journey to Glasgow to report the death and hand the body over to the Brigade, the semi militaristic security force that has replaced the police. Because of previous, bitter experience, Ellis doesn’t trust the Brigade to investigate the death and decides to try and find out for himself who the woman is, how she died and how she came to be buried on his land. He’s helped in his daunting task by Lorna who moves in with him at his remote forest home, active ‘oppositionists’ Gam and Colette and the mysterious Lemmy. And the wolf is never far away! Through his investigations, he finds out about a shadowy undercover security operation known as Darkstone and a web of events that reaches right to the heart of the Brigade. When Major Cormack, an up and coming power within the Brigade, becomes aware of Ellis’ activities he sees an opportunity to use the forester to further his own agenda. But all is not as it seems as Ellis struggles to track down the young woman’s killer.

Category : Juvenile Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 349
Book Description
Co-written by Newbery Honor-winning author Rajani LaRocca and Chris Baron, this page-turning novel is told through letters, e-mails, instant messages, and video chats between camp friends Tripti and Sam over their shared love of a book series and some mysterious rocks they brought home from summer camp. Eleven-year-olds Tripti Kapoor, a feisty "word nerd" from Massachusetts, and Sam Cohen, a shy, imaginative, budding geologist from California, are both miserable at Camp Dilloway, a summer camp in upstate New York. On the last night of camp, they follow a shooting star to a quiet creek. There they find two silvery rocks glowing in the night. They each take one home, and their long-distance friendship begins. It's soon clear that these are no ordinary rocks. They seem to move on their own, get strangely hot, and even take over Tripti and Sam's thoughts! Inspired by their mutual love of their favorite book series, The Dragon Gems, they dub the rocks Opal and Jasper, after the Dragon Gems in the books. But others are interested in the stones too--including the owner of Camp Dilloway, who hides a secret of his own. Tripti and Sam must crack the Dragon Gems' code and keep them out of Dilloway's clutches, all while navigating the rocky road of middle school friendships and learning to stand up for what is right.

Pages : 1203
Book Description
The Lost Tales of Power is a collection of novels that describe an immense persistent multiverse. The books are a mixture of standalone and miniseries all set in the same universe with overlapping and intertwining story lines. Included in this collection is the full text of Resurgence of Ancient Darkness, The Sac'a'rith, and Spectra's Gambit. In addition to the three complete novels, included is a brief introduction to each book.

Shadow must build a navy out of his fledgling Battle Wizards and carry the fight to the enemy before it comes for them. Meanwhile, the old man and his steel-eyed partner are making their own plans, and the peace that once reigned throughout the galaxy has come tumbling down. The Sac'a'rith: Clear across the galaxy from where Grandmaster Vydor is building his kingdom of wizards, a new darkness is rising up. Soldiers who die in battle are standing back up and switching sides. Entire space stations are being wiped clean of life and the military is powerless. One man, perhaps more dangerous than the darkness itself, is all that stands between darkness and light. Spectra's Gambit: An old ally of Grandmaster Vydor comes to him for help because an enemy, perhaps as old as the Empire itself, has turned its sights on the Cathratinairian race and means to wipe them out. Spectra and Dusty are sent to find and stop this new threat, while Spectra begins her plan to change the balance of power for the entire known multiverse. Dusty must decide whether to follow Spectra as she uses this mission of mercy for her own gain, or stand with the Wizard Kingdom, which would put him in direct opposition to his wife.
