What if things had turned out differently? What if Padmé Amidala Naberrie Skywalker had looked at her volatile husband with understanding instead of bewilderment and gut-wrenching heartbreak during those final minutes of their charged confrontation on the fiery system of Mustafar? What if she had agreed to rule the galaxy at his side? To raise their children together even if it meant succumbing to the allure of everything she's opposed throughout her political career? Would she fall to the darkness as well? Or would she strive to rise above and restore order to the galaxy? All the while while fighting her husband's new greed for power with their love, sometimes love is no match for the darkness that lives inside one's heart.

The Jedi have rebounded, populating many planets all throughout the galaxy. But as the light grows, the dark follows. The Sith have rebounded as well, producing one very dark master and one very powerful apprentice. But changes are imminent in the Sith order, and with the tension between the two "peaceful" groups growing, the changes are not for the better. Many predict a full scale war, Jedi versus Sith. The outcome weighs on the shoulders of the accidental meeting of one Jedi and one Sith. They cross paths, hate raging between them. But they realize they are the galaxy's only hope for peace. Can the two star crossed enemies ally against a bigger threat and find something more than they ever expected? RATED: PG

Born with a passion for the water and a remarkable talent for swimming, it's no wonder that Rayne Bennett spends more time in the pool than she does on land. But when family secrets become unearthed and lies are uprooted, Rayne realizes that her passion for the water goes farther back than she could have ever imagined. When Rayne finds herself moving back to her quiet birthplace of Shady Cove, things start to unravel even faster. What really happened to her mother, who had (supposedly) been killed thirteen years ago? Why does Rayne feel such an intimate connection with the ocean? The answers, as she will soon find out, come at a cost so great that her life-as well as the lives of those she loves-is in grave danger. Though she doesn't know it, Rayne is the key to unlocking the mysteries that dwell just beneath the ocean's surface. She is the answer to the secrets of the deep. [ adventure #5, fantasy #6 ]
