Devi was the most patient fairy in all of Sunflower Grove. Once she set her mind to a task, she would give it her all to complete it, no matter how long it took. Unfortunately for Devi, she'd chosen the exact same time as the fairies' annual flight to the top of the mountain to attempt to complete her current secret project.

Exodus from the dying Earth began with the flight of the worm-mole ship, Alpha Horizon, to a fortuitously discovered planet, Ostara. En route mass hallucinations are rampant, and sights once familiar become nightmarishly strange. When they reach Ostara, emotions and identities begin to fray, for in what was supposed to be an uninhabited wilderness the new settlers discover a race of native people who look remarkably human.

I've decided to make my mark on life. So I joined an art class and learned how to paint. I have visions of grand vistas, beautiful lilies, and stunning portraits pouring from my overly manicured hands. I've spent hours and hours splashing colors on a series of canvases, and in the end I've learned one outstanding life lesson: Never, ever volunteer. Avert your eyes if you ever see me in public - some things should not be seen. I'll never get a boyfriend now.

Just when Nicks is settling in to her new life, a routine mission to recover a stolen weapon codenamed Project Starfire turns deadly. Nicks is ambushed, and she and her team suddenly find themselves in the middle of a lethal international conspiracy—stretching from the streets of Los Angeles to the hidden islands of Japan. As the investigation widens, all leads point to a criminal syndicate whose mastermind has a dark connection to Nicks’s past.

After being released from her incarceration at the Lincoln Park Shifter School, Laylea thought she would go back to helping Team Wyrdos.

With her old army friend, Sheriff Brett Diaz, by her side, Nicks uncovers a connection to a new drug cartel with a penchant for state-of-the-art technology - and plans that threaten the security of America’s southern border.

Sophie is a curious dragon hunting the forests of Kaveg with her best friend. When she kills a dangerous beast to save the settler guarde, Hardt and Sophie meet. She doesn’t eat him. He doesn’t attack her.

It's good to know your limitations. I know I'll never grace the front cover of a magazine, unless it's a "most wanted" type. Every time someone looks at my ID card, I hold my breath, waiting for their reaction. Ma Barker has nothing on me when I'm wearing my serious face.

Well, Max did warn me about being a movie extra. He did say it was a bad idea to answer the advertisement in the newspaper. I think he feared I would end up in some dodgy set somewhere, hanging from a ceiling, playing the part of the dead. Or maybe even an extra in an adult movie. I can't tell him the truth - that I wouldn't have minded that. But no such luck. The movie I was in didn't have dead bodies or naked bodies hanging around. Disappointed as I am with that, this challenge did show me something that I had long dreamed of.

Mentoring - I can do that. I did learn from the yoga class that we have to be mindful of the needs of others. Maybe I'm sometimes a bit too, ahem, mindful of other's needs, but that's another story. So I've volunteered to be a mentor and I know exactly what I have to do. I'll just tell the little girl my whole life story, get her to write it all out and say, "Now, don't do any of that and you will have a great life." My only fear is that she'll call the police on me, or maybe even the men in white coats.

War is coming to the island of Eburos. Andoc, Carivel, and Senovo can no longer live quietly in the shadows of the village of Draebard. As tribal Chieftain, Horse Mistress, and High Priest, it now falls to the three of them to organize a defense against the terrifyingly powerful Alyrion Empire.

Senovo and Carivel have long relied on Andoc to be their rock. Their touchstone. But when Andoc's future is shattered by betrayal.

Nevaeh is on a mission! She - along with her two sisters and cousin - has a job to do, and it's not just a boring old normal job. They have been entrusted as the guardians of the most amazing - and shocking - magical world. And they need to get back there as soon as possible because when you let creatures in from the human world, such as cute little kitty cats, apparently, very bad things can happen.

Not a chance - no way, nada. Under no circumstances am I going skinny dipping. Some things should never be seen in public.

Laylea is a dog. Sure, she can shift to human, but her soul is always a dog. Now the council wants to make her a full-time human just because she broke their stupid rules? She's already drowning in all the secrets she’s keeping for her friends. She’ll be damned if she’s keeping any for the idiots in charge.

Magic is real. Anybody can do magic if they’re willing to pay the price. The price for Daniella Corwin was her family.

Courtney is being in visited in her bedroom at night by alien creatures claiming to have shared an alliance with her grandfather. And either she's going crazy, or they're trying to recruit her and take over her mind.

What's the point of a bucket list if it doesn't involve a real challenge? And let me tell you, wrapping my legs around my head is a real challenge indeed. Oh, the pain - the torture. And everyone else in the yoga class is sitting there looking so composed, so - mindful. The tranquility wrecked by the regular squawks as I tweak another muscle or collapse in a heap. Then there's that hot guy that talks about Tantric something or other. I came here to clear my mind and now I'm obsessed, obsessed I'm telling you.
