[BOOK ONE IN THE COSMONOGY SERIES] BEFORE ANYONE WAS truly on this earth, there were beings that no one even knew existed. Gods that no one remembered; people that created the land we stand on but are not acknowledged. There were gods who became true gods after they passed, gods that are hung in the sky and in the earth as if they were dolls. Demeter - Dem - Longoria was one of the few people who grew up knowing such tales, a mythology that was never named. She kept them to herself, allowing them to linger at the back of her mind, focusing more on college and her relationship with her boyfriend, Skylar, or Kye. But when archeologists find an old, crumbling book relating Dem’s legends, everything goes wrong. The news of an undiscovered culture quickly spread around the world, and, more than ever, people are determined to find out who the archaics - and the Schroeders - are. Not only that, but a certain redhead is determined to solve everything herself; all the natural disasters that have started, from 200 mile long earthquakes to 3000 feet high waves. This certain redhead has thrown Dem and Kye into utter chaos, doing her best to figure out a way to trap Mother and Father back inside the book. But it seems like they happen to have other plans.

Parker Elway is having dreams. Strange dreams; waking dreams; dreams in which she opens her eyes in the darkness to find herself paralyzed and surrounded by shadows from her deepest nightmares. The doctors call it sleep paralysis. But is it really so simple? As the waking terrors worsen and strange people begin to appear in town, Parker sets out to uncover the truth. And when she digs up a trove of hidden secrets and a dark past that everyone seems all too eager to forget, she begins to wonder: is her terrifying dream world merely the result of a sleep disorder? Or is it reality? [National Silver Medal Winner in the 2014 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards]

Delaney Escott lives in a world where popularity reigns supreme. If you want to be noticed, social status is everything. The government is run by the Superiors: a very exclusive group of individuals who are virtually flawless. They are smarter than us and stronger than us, and to join their ranks is the highest honor. The Superiors pay an annual visit to the top schools in the nation and evaluate the students, choosing one boy and one girl - the most Popular in the school - to go the Capitol and train for Superiority. Delaney thinks that she's the only one indifferent to (and perhaps even suspicious of) the Superiors, until Caleb Payne, the most popular boy in school, approaches her with a request. He has a task for her, one that he believes she is uniquely capable of completing. And as she helps him, Delaney discovers that the government is hiding many secrets - and that the truth of the Superiors is far from what people believe it to be.
