Alan Carlisle, 15, lives on the world's first inhabitable artificial island, New Island, Michigan. Alan doesn't know his father was killed due to his discovery of a gateway to the Otherworld. A forgotten world, the Otherworld was a place of refuge for the old Celtic gods, the Tuatha De Danann. The Otherworld isn't the only Celtic world that has been forgotten. Once a legendary Fomorian begins taking souls from Alan's hometown, it becomes apparent the red door to the Underworld has been opened too. It is up to Alan and his friends, along with the help of two Druids who remained in the Surfaceworld, to cast the kelpie back to hell. Along the way, Alan finds out that not only is he a druid, but he's the reincarnation of the greatest druid to ever live. The Silver Hand.

[EDITING] Seileah, a young ground-spirit of the Great Morook Mountains, is the inspiration of all of her clan. She sees and interprets what nature can teach them, but when one day she sees the truth of her home, she knows her people will not understand. She must betray them with her star-seeded instincts. Glimmers of light frozen quick to a hare's breath by whispers of wind may yet sing some life to the Morook's red buds. She must use her own ethereal knowledge to imprint the ways of the forest on a lost human boy--who can neither see her nor hear her--to change his disastrous path or else destroy his whole homeland and vanish hers too.

A girl in Delhi has a brilliant mind and secrets darker than the nights that won't let her eyes close. She lives in the Labyrinth, a place that always seems dim, even in the middle of the day. There, customers flock in their dozens, and there, the girl is exploited for profit in unthinkable, irreversible ways. Her traffickers change her name regularly to throw off authorities, and survival seems only a flicker in the pool of murky water she must bathe in each morning. Though she has known little more than this life of poverty and forced prostitution, when she meets an elderly woman named Ucchal, everything could change. Ucchal works for an anti-trafficking unit, and her questions lead the girl to question herself and her surroundings. If there is a path to freedom, how dangerous is that path, and what hopeful or harrowing discoveries wait at the end?
