Leah is a Radiant, a dying race that is able to crystallise Light. Plagued for centuries by a parasite able to turn them into mindless monsters known as Lightless, the Radiant's homeland has been long since lost. Leah's seen what the parasite has done to her people's morale, and she's determined to be the one who finds the cure. Only the League of Light still challenge the expansion of the Lightless, but new recruits are growing scarcer, their Radiant blood thinner as the League struggle to maintain numbers. When Leah arrives with her Radiant features and the full ability to manipulate Light, not all of them see her as a blessing. There's a divide between the pure Radiants and the humans who can claim their blood, and with shadows in the League, Leah's going to have to wade through it all if she wants to find her cure.

A thief of valuable blooms, Layela's dream is finally coming true with the opening of her flower shop on the small remote planet of Collar. But the disappearance of her twin sister leaves her with a difficult choice: to continue tending to her blooms and promising future, or to blend in once again with the shadows to find her sister. She soon becomes the prey of two powerful assassins, of a colonel bent on revenge and of a mysterious sword-wielding stranger. Her only allies are Josmere - a feisty ether creature with the power to unlock the visions that assault Layela's mind, or to keep them from her - and a smuggling rogue, Ardin, hired to protect Layela at whatever the cost, even if that cost is her freedom. Their journey takes them across several worlds as Layela discovers who she and her sister truly are. And before them awaits the mythical First Star, on a path to self-destruction and the annihilation of all life. Unless Layela finds a way to stop it. But to stop it would mean sacrificing her sister. Or herself. --- "Marie Bilodeau knocks my socks off. Destiny's Blood is a winner - another home run from one of Canada's best new authors." Robert J. Sawyer, Hugo Award-winning author of WAKE --- "The story's pace is fast, with many plot turns. ... Bilodeau writes these numerous action scenes so well that I was more than happy to go along for the ride." The Future Fire --- "A captivating and exciting read Science Fiction, your universe just got a lot deeper." Sequential Tart *** Dear reader: The book is all up, please enjoy!

Zelda has a safe place to live and plenty of food, her parents and friends are thriving, and no one from Dr. Aldrick's group has come for her. THEN A STRANGE MESSAGE ARRIVES When a cryptic message arrives with Zelda's childhood nickname, she's convinced it must be from her younger brother, Amory. But is it a cry for help or a trap to lure her in? NOW ZELDA MUST STAGE A RESCUE Together with her friends and her dragon companion, Zelda sets out to find her missing brother. Along the way she'll encounter old friends and new enemies, but if she hopes to rescue Amory before his captors' experiments turn him into a monster, she'll need to accept help from the one person she thought she'd never trust again.
