Elva Rackthorn (14 years old, magical prodigy) has a simple quest: find the mythic Tears of Azrael and heal her mother. Except, there's the small matter of her highly illegal demon familiar, her worsening panic attacks, and the malicious forces also searching for the Tears. Plus the everyday stress of life in a new city, at a new school, with new friends. Alright, finding the Tears might be harder than Elva thought.

/// 

Elva, fourteen years old and frightfully skilled at sigilmancy, the rune-based magic of her kingdom, has only one goal: to find a way to heal her mother.

The complications: (1) Elva's father banned her from studying sigilmancy after an experiment gone awry three years ago that ravaged her mother's mind (2) In a life-saving but highly-illegal move Elva has bound a demon boy as her familiar And (3) she's being exiled to the capital for "proper schooling," far away from her carefully hidden stash of sigilmancy books and the manor she has always called home.

And Nyx-- the curious and snarky demon who now lives in her mindscape-- isn't the only secret Elva is bringing with her: she also has panic attacks that keep getting worse and a mysterious letter from her mother detailing a quest for the mythic Tears of Azrael. If it were up to Elva, all her time would go to finding the Tears that might be a way to heal her mother-- but suddenly she has friends dragging her to masquerade balls, an aunt and uncle who actually want to spend time with her, and a demon living in her mindscape pestering her to take care of her mental and emotional wellbeing. Her exile is beginning to feel like home.

So when that home is threatened by sinister forces also collecting the Tears and by Elva's own mistakes, she will have to try a new approach to save the day-she'll need to share her secrets, trust her friends, and even risk her chance to save her mother in order to protect her new home.

Waking up face down in mud sucks any day of the week. But coming around in the sludge of a strange realm...? Well, that just redefines a bad day altogether. Trapped in an unfamiliar world, sixteen-year-old Quinn is frustrated that none of the strange Tree People appreciate his urgency to get back home to earth. Now he is faced with a choice that could change the course of his life: escape and find his own way home, or stay and help them find the cause of the poison ravishing their world. When the mind-reader unlocks one of the ancient mysteries of the Tree People it points to the only way of saving them from annihilation: they have to find the Power of Light. What exactly that means, the mind-reader doesn't reveal, but his next warning comes as a shock to all present: finding the mysterious Power of Light can only be done with the help of the dangerous enemy tribe whom they once called family. Quinn soon finds himself a little more entangled in the lives of these gifted beings than he'd care to be. Especially after meeting Jazz: the feisty girl from his world who seems to be a regular visitor to the world of Zoay. To Quinn's constant frustration, the aqua-eyed pixie makes it clear that she's not there to make friends. On their journey they'll brave bizarre encounters in dangerous alien forests, while sacrificing pride and will for the survival of all. Along the way Quinn finds more than he ever thought to seek: purpose, fulfillment and love. When the Power of Light is finally found a devastating discovery is made: if all of Zoay-including their enemy-want to live and prosper, one must be willing to sacrifice their life.

The road to magical affinity is a rough and unforgiving one, a path you might take only in search of power that limits a section of your reality, stealing your autonomy. The accepted wisdom is that magic was intended only for the well-to-do, the superstitious or those who engage in the morally reprehensible. Miva'yon is what society deems as a witch - an abomination of nature, law and righteous order. Witches seek magical power, but one unrestrained by the shackles of gods, kings and the essence of life. They wish for freedom, to break humanity's bonds and create their own understanding of what progress can mean. For this, they are shunned, thrown into the edges of society and often outright slain. Nevertheless, Miva'yon will not surrender her dream of a future where she doesn't have to hide her true being, and desperately pursues rumors of where those like her may live freely and safely. The difficulty lies in reaching it. Eireki was a holy knight of a benign goddess, having left her home to adhere to her beliefs of a better world, one where light and justice shine above everything. Upon meeting Miva'yon and beholding her fellow knights' prejudice, her trust was forever shattered and she found no other solution than to oppose their unjustified hatred with her whole might. For this, she was killed. Now being reawakened into a second life, an undead existence by the very woman she tried to save, she questions whether anything she's been through so far was worth it.
