Book Description
Jessica Ruddick’s award-winning Legacy series is now available in one set! “A thrilling roller coaster ride of suspense and emotion.” -Amazon reviewer “I was held captive by the words on the page.” -Exposure Book Blog “Highly addictive book, once you sink your teeth in you won't let it go until the last page.” -Amazon reviewer How do you live with yourself when you decide who dies? Book One: Birthright Ava Parks would have killed for an iPhone for her sixteenth birthday. Anything would have been better than coming into her birthright of being a seeker for the Grim Reaper, an arrangement made by her fallen angel ancestor in exchange for his re-admittance to heaven. And she isn’t just any seeker—she finds souls that have the potential for becoming angels and sentences them to death. A year and two souls into her role as a seeker with her conscience overflowing with guilt, Ava comes up with a plan to thwart the system. When it goes awry, she is forced to submit the name of a classmate, Cole Fowler, an ornery, rough around the edges guy who always seems to come to her rescue, whether she likes it or not. Her feelings for Cole prompt her to intervene, and she saves him from death, upsetting the Grim Reaper’s agenda. While Ava schemes to find a way to save Cole, she learns he has some secrets of his own. She lets him believe he is protecting her, and not the other way around, until a final showdown with the Grim Reaper forces Ava to make choices Cole may never forgive. Book Two: Retribution Ava Parks’ job as a seeker for the Grim Reaper is one she wouldn’t wish on anyone. It’s her responsibility to find souls with the potential to become angels. Last fall she learned the hard way that bucking the system has its own set of consequences, as her choices nearly killed the two people she cares about most—her mother and the boy she’s come to love, Cole. Now, Ava’s mother is fading fast. Her former handler—and the root of her problems—seems set on revenge. And Ava must confess to Cole the price he has to pay for her saving his life—a decision he may never forgive her for. Ava’s path to retribution is filled with twists, turns, and a whole heap of heartache. As problems mount and push her to the breaking point, she’s forced into the unthinkable, making her question everything she thought she knew about life, loyalty, and love. Book Three: Sacrifice Still reeling from a recent debilitating loss, Ava is convinced she has nothing left to lose. She is proven wrong when she’s forced to cut herself off from the love of her life, Cole, in order to keep his new role as a seeker a secret. Without him by her side, Ava sets out to find other seekers and they help her embrace her new reality and better understand the system she’s entrenched in. As time passes though, nothing quells her need for vengeance against Xavier, her rogue former handler, who’s gone into hiding. Independence isn’t easy and tough choices await Ava at every turn. She must decide how much she’s willing to sacrifice to change her destiny—if she can change it at all. Book Four: Redemption Since coming into her birthright of being a seeker for the Grim Reaper, Ava has made countless missteps trying to protect her loved ones, only to have it all backfire. Now she finally has the chance to settle the score with Xavier, the source of much of her misery, but sometimes revenge isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Will she allow herself to take the vengeance she has thirsted for? Can she forgive herself if she doesn’t? Even worse, her enemies are after Cole, who hasn’t forgiven her leaving, and they’ll stop at nothing to find him. Ava is tired of the corruption and lies. Most of all, she’s done hiding. This time, she’s ready to rid herself—and the world—of the twisted handler-seeker system... for good.

The Effigies must uncover the connection between Saul, Blackwell, and the Phantoms before it’s too late in this epic conclusion to the Effigies trilogy. The world is in chaos. After Saul’s strike on Oslo—one seemingly led by Maia herself—the Effigies’ reputation is in shambles. Now they’re being hunted by nations across the globe, grouped in with the very terrorists they’ve been trying to stop. With Maia’s resurrected twin, June, carrying out vicious attacks across the world, everyone believes Maia is a killer.

But if the Effigies can’t put the pieces together soon, there may not be much left of the world they’ve fought so desperately to save.

Now, for the first time, she's doing what she wants to do: marrying Captain Phineas Foulger and sailing far away from Nantucket. As she leaves on her grand adventure, her father gives her two gifts, both of which Phoebe sees little need for.

Soon Phoebe discovers that life at sea is no easier than life on land. Lonely, seasick, and disillusioned, she turns the pages of Great Mary's journal and finds herself drawn into the life of this noble woman.

Book Description
After three years on a whaling voyage, Henry Macy returns to Nantucket to news that his grandmother has passed, bequeathing her vast fortune to him and his sister, Hitty. And it was truly vast. But Lillian Coffin was no fool. The inheritance comes with a steep cost, including when they should marry and whom--a Quaker in good standing, of course. But if they relinquish the inheritance, it all goes to Tristram Macy, their father's thieving business partner. As Hitty and Henry seek a way to satisfy the will's conditions, they'll be faced with obstacles on every side--and it may be that Lillian Coffin will have the last word after all. Bestselling author Suzanne Woods Fisher surprises and delights with this story of hope and renewal, love and redemption, arriving just when most needed.

Book Description
The Mysteries of Clear Light, A Timeless Legacy, is the first of an open-ended series, which speaks to you in the words of the Great Beings that have always watched over the development of the Human race. Their communication cuts through the misinformation that accumulated throughout ages of ignorance and self-interest and helps our species adapt to the vital role it has to play in these stressful times of changes. The always-unfolding story encompasses all periods, passed, current and future; its message is one of hope and reconciliation. The style, at times, reflects the character of the Being who dictated a given chapter but invariably and effortlessly builds upon itself and gently reminds the reader of all that our spirit has always known. We do not teach, for in truth there is nothing to learn. The realizations to which you awaken are your own, we merely show you alternatives. Your immortal spirit will assist you in making the best choices for you and help you fulfill the purpose for which you incarnated. Your reward is not enlightenment; you already have that within you; rather it is the freedom to make use of the power you have always had.
