In deepest depths, where the legendary mer folk live in domed cities, there is a 'guest' being held in isolation for millennia. Seeming harmless, he lulls the arrogant younger members of the Hearing Council, the 'wise' Finned Ones, into foolish actions. Those actions have dire consequences; not just for the mer folk, but for the breathers above. An average nearly 18-year-old young woman, frumpy and unattractive senior high school student is arguing with her best friend. Bucky is gorgeous, brilliant and an amazing athlete. And in spite of his train of swooning followers, he chooses to hang out with his long time friend Rema Angelis. They are as different as chalk and cheese, but Bucky sees something in Rema that no one else does. Their lives are about to change radically brought about by circumstances neither has any knowledge about. It is here, their greatest tests await them. Everything they ever knew is tested. And Rema Vangelis faces the greatest challenges of her life. On these two hinge the salvation of the hidden nation of the elves. Who have not vanished as the humans supposed, but have lived and flourished in secret, away from even the most persistent prying eyes. No one has ever really believed in the fairy stories of elves and magic, so hiding is easier when no one believes in you anyway. Rema finds out, not only are elves true, but where she fits in the grand scheme of things, and what part she will have to play to keep their world alive. A tall dark handsome stranger opens up Rema to a whole new world of passion and commitment, testing her truths about what other creatures lurk in her 'safe' world. Not just the beautiful elves live and love in her world, but the loathsome and evil also flourishes in the shadows. Biding their time until they can come into the light and feed on all those who will allow their fears to take hold of them. But just when Rema and Bucky think things can't get any worse, they encounter the real nightmare that is behind the bloodshed, and who is also controlling the one Rema thought she could love and trust. It is a battle of attrition, dragged on until entire cities are full of the thinning, elves fading and dying, becoming empty husks who are unaware they are even dead. They haunt the city like ghosts, trying to recapture what was so cruelly torn from them. The darkness clings like a shroud over the town, allowing none respite from the shadows that feed on those trapped within. Somehow, the nightmare must end, but the price is much higher than anyone believed. Would any of them be brave enough to pay it?

Worlds in alignment, perfectly in tune with each other. Neither has any idea that the other exists except for those they called 'The Watchmen'. The Watchmen keep the worlds safe from one who wants to destroy the peace, and destroy both worlds by creating another world that will bring the three together and cause a cataclysmic collision. Hundreds of tweens go missing, but only those with an extremely high IQ. But when the police discover one of the missing children has been returned; the tween's intelligence has been siphoned off, until they remain 'normal'. Except for the return of one young girl who had been gone for ten months. She was bald, with burn marks on her scalp. Dressed in functional overalls, and sand shoes, she seemed fine, until she opened her mouth."I am Amy, I am Amy!" she screamed.It was all she could say. Her mind had been totally burned out. All she could remember was her name. Memories had been stolen, normal daily tasks were beyond her. Someone had stolen Amy away. All she had left was her name.The police were given the case. In all, 300 children were still missing, but it seemed as if the perpetrator was seeking one more. One very special mind that would become the Focus of his creation. With the Focus in his possession; nothing could stop the madman. Chief Inspector Mac Wilson was fast running out of time. But so far, he hadn't a clue where to begin. A cell phone was discovered. When Mac answered the ring, an enigmatic voice answered."It has begun.""What has begun?" Mac was getting even more confused."Follow the trail of missing children."The voice hung up.Mac was in a race against time to rescue the children before the one known as the Controller, discovered the tween who would become the Focus. Nothing could prepare Mac for the secrets he discovered and the peril his world was facing. With the aid of the mysterious couple known as Doctor and Mrs Forbes, the trio enlist the help of the Watchmen, hoping to be able to shut down the Controller before he manages to align the worlds and destroy all life as we know it.

The Beast charged the cell door when Lord Savage left, enraged beyond reason. The handsome Lord had plans for the Beast. He would teach this creature to obey then, he would return to where Liliana and he had captured the animal. By then, the Beast would do as he was told. There the two conspirators worked their plans for the destruction of the Keeper's Peace. But unbeknownst to Lord Savage, the Beast was not some mindless animal; he was in fact very intelligent, and not even of Savage's world. Having fallen deeply in love with a slave called Anya in Savage's household, the pair had bonded the night she was given to him for her disobedience, and the Beast was lost without her. But Adam Savage had seen how the Beast cared for the girl, so he sold her to new Masters, inseparable twins who had other plans for the lovely young woman. And so the pieces were placed on the board. But in this game, no one was who they appeared to be and suddenly the race was on for the Beast to return to Castle Barshael where he was the Keeper of the Living Heart preventing the Keeper's Peace from being broken by any entering the portals to bring war. He had protected the Castle and the Heart for three millennia, and he had to get back before the Enchantress Liliana brought her armies to his world and destroyed all he held dear, setting herself up as Queen. But Anya was with his child and the twins, Mir and Val helped her without reserve to get her to her soul mate before the child was born. Whatever their reasons, they were prepared to do anything to help her and the Beast for the twins had fallen totally and irrevocably in love with her. As they all raced for the Castle to protect the heart, new pieces were brought onto the board, and others were removed, permanently. All Anya knew was that the child she carried was not human and if she didn't reach the castle on time, not only would hers and the child's life be lost, but worlds would be thrown into endless war by the Enchantress. Whatever the cost, they had to get there on time.

The Breathtakingly beautiful Serinde Amerisque is almost of age when she begins to dream of a dark handsome man. But her dreams are so vividly real that she feels his kisses as he holds her in his arms. He draws Serinde into his embrace telling her he loves her and asks if she will be his forever. From that moment on, the beautiful maiden can think of nothing else but the man in her dreams each night. But her dream man is no dream but a real flesh and blood Prince, who will move heaven and earth to make her his own, traveling across the seas from Kharu to Zaphara where he first encountered the enticing fragrance that invaded his thoughts. But he was not the only suitor for Serinde's affections. Ever since the night of the ball when he first saw her like a glittering diamond at the top of the stairs, Prince Friedrich was determined that nothing would be too high a price, not kidnapping, murder or war, to make Lady Amerisque his own. Deep in the mists of Prysm, where the land is dying and needing one to bring the magic back, repairing the rift between the rulers and healing the land before it's too late. Serinde's Grandmother decides nothing will get in the way of bringing her Granddaughter home to her rightful place. She traps Serinde's love in the dungeons of Seregmir to secretly make him disappear while marrying Serinde to the fey Prince Arahel, uniting all of Prysm once more. Serinde finds herself enmeshed in a web of lies and deceit, unable to escape the net woven around her. Somehow she has to save her beloved, and foil the cunning plans of the four rulers of Prysm so that the Fey are free of their machinations once and for all. It seems an impossible task to free the land, especially as Prysm is a truly sentient magical land with a mind of its own, and has decided for itself who was going to rule over her people. Words by Pedir the Wise are fulfilled at terrible cost and Serinde finds herself woven in the tale risking all she holds dear frantically hiding the most important secret in both kingdoms.
