At nine years old, Chandler Leighamoore lives carefree on her family's homestead, chasing sprites and scheming alongside her brother, Sawyer. She's mysteriously drawn to the vicious woodlands surrounding them but is shackled by Papa's only rule: never to venture inside.
Stories of vampires and werewolves have kept her curiosity in check, but when Mama and Adelaide fall deathly ill, Chandler realizes she must act quickly to save them...and it means braving the forest.
Her brother tells of an ancient legend...an enchanted lake...somewhere deep in the woods. Deadset on finding a cure, Chandler embarks on a perilous journey through the Blackthorn. Encountering sprites, vampires, and a mythical goddess, Chandler will need to conquer her greatest fears to save her family before it's too late.

The Book of Zhadugur
In the Land of Flames, survival is forged in fire-and sixteen-year-old Zhadugur bears the scars to prove it. Born an orphan among volcanic shadows, Zhadugur has mastered Red Alchemy, a forbidden art that weaves blood and fire into potent secrets. While the powerful Flame Lords rule from above and the enigmatic Priesthood controls the flow of magic below, he hides in the subterranean heart of Ember Spring Cavern, fighting for a place-and a purpose-unknown even to himself. When a reckless act of compassion drags Zhadugur out of the shadows, he becomes a symbol of rebellion in a world obsessed with rigid order. With his only ally, the ancient and mysterious Mentoril, Zhadugur must choose: remain hidden and safe-or embrace the dangerous path of the Triple Flames of Gibil, risking everything to challenge the old ways and forge a destiny unlike anything his world has ever seen. Fire is not just his element-it's his fate. But in a world where difference is danger, will his flame spark revolution... or burn him away forever? Discover a new epic of elemental magic, chosen family, and the courage to redefine destiny. For fans of immersive fantasy hungry for atmosphere, heart, rebellion, speculative epic fantasy centered on Fire Elementals and their own struggles that strangely mirrors our own, this book may be for you. - Dawn Daybreaker

(And there's always a but.) Their time is running out. Will Aspen be able to cure Phoenix, who still remains part of the key to saving the world, before Gold fever steals him away? Before lucid dreams become their only way to be together?"Complete
