15 Year old Ryck Stohne has been trained by his father James Stohne since he was 7. When he was 11 he was pulled from his house in the Farm District of Wynterdem to move with his mother in a small house in the capitol of Wynterdem to pursue his dream of enlisting into the Winter Army. Life seems like it is coming into a boring rhythm when a series of drastic changes sends Ryck through a whirlwind of events that puts him in the eye of the storm. Sneaking through dark fortresses, adventuring dense forests, meeting new people, discovering things about the world and himself, and making sacrifices and risks to not only save himself and his country, but to also retain justice and balance to the world itself, to put and end to the battle of the seasons.

Cherry blossom lipstick: check Smokey eyes: check Skinny jeans: check Dead kid in the mirror: check For sixteen year old Mattie Hathaway, this is her normal everyday routine. She's been able to see ghosts since her mother tried to murder her when she was five years old. No way does she want anyone to know she can talk to spooks. Being a foster kid is hard enough without being labeled a freak too. Normally, she just ignores the ghosts and they go away. There's a little glitch this time. The ghost she sees is her foster sister, Sally. Everyone thinks she's just another runaway. Mattie knows the truth, though-she's dead, murdered. Foster kids look out for each other and Mattie feels like she has to help Sally, but she can't do it alone. Against her better judgment, she teams up with a young police officer and together they set out to discover the truth of Sally's disappearance. Now the killer has set his sights on her. It becomes a race to see if she can find the truth before the serial killer finds her.
