It was his song that was playing in the wind, the one he had heard many times in his life. He heard it while he was working. He heard it while he listened to his mother's soft singing, the tunes somehow matching. And he heard it now, standing by the person he loved most in the world. He had yet to understand why he heard the music, but he clung onto it. He was a lowly slave on a lowly planet. He was the least among the lesser. He was as valuable as the sand on his home planet. Returning to his bed, he pulled his blanket close to his ears, not quite blocking them. He closed his eyes, listening to the music of the universe, imagining the things he thought he would never have.

For an oppressed population on the brink of revolution, a common thief could be the last hope. Up until now, Kay has survived by her wits alone.

Driven by the plight of the commoners and the unjust death of her family, Kay seizes the chance to graduate from small-time thievery to full-scale rebellion. Her opportunity comes in the form of Will, a wealthy ex-soldier with a dark past. Plucked from the streets and thrown into the shimmering palace court, Kay must use her every strength to blend into a world where she doesn't belong, closer to the enemy than she ever thought she would be.

The Galactic Republic is in grave danger. Since the dramatic death of the Supreme Chancellor Palpatine, the Senate believed the Republic was in no harm of being overthrown. Therefore, the Council has granted young Anakin Skywalker the rank of Master, and henceforth, he is given the task of training a powerful female padawan who belongs to the other half of his Chosen One prophecy... while also managing to parent his newborn children. Anakin believes he is now at peace with the Republic, the Jedi, and the light side of the Force... but it becomes apparent that his new padawan is on a different path. This causes the Galactic Senate to find themselves face-to-face with sheer brutality unlike anything they'd ever experienced before.

Nightmares and Dreams are actual creatures who invade human minds as embodied fears and joys. But with the new BlissMax pill (guaranteed to give you good dreams all night!) the Nightmares are starving. Violet doesn't use BlissMax (or any modern niceties, thanks Dad), and one night, a Nightmare—the fear of hell—enters her enticingly un-medicated mind and gets trapped. Though Violet has a penchant for creepy things, having a Nightmare stuck inside her mind causes problems: narcolepsy and yet further distance from reality, to name a few, not to mention the Nightmare begins to starve in the wake of fresh human fear. In a misguided attempt to get him home, she gets dragged into the city of Nightmares, Halloweentown on steroids. Once there, it becomes apparent the Dreams and Nightmares hate each other and getting back (alive) only tips the list of growing complications.
