Waking up, alone in the cold and surrounded by snow with no memories of how she got there or who she even is, was not how Lyra would have wished to start her new life. Only by the guidance of the man who found her, the man who became her teacher in both life and magic, was she able to find comfort and meaning. But just when she begins to accept her new life, even amidst the ominous, never-ending snowfall, she is forced on the run. As she hunts down the very person who started it all--and sentenced her new beginning to death--she finds missing pieces of her past.

Who will Arise?
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.Complete

Atrix wakes up in the depths of a frozen cave, his body no longer his own. Scales, wings, claws-he's become a dragon, a creature of myth and legend. But his memories are gone. Who was he before this? Why is he a beast? And why does the void he escaped from haunt him like a shadow? As Atrix navigates the treacherous labyrinth of the Blizzardelle Mountains, he discovers that the cave is more than a prison-it's a gateway to ancient secrets, fulfilled prophecies that hint at a past life he can't remember. From monstrous snow-dune worms to sentient crystals whispering cryptic warnings, every step brings him closer to the truth... and closer to danger. Meanwhile, in the sunlit village of Amberhaven, Colleen, a sharp-witted healer with a knack for trouble, finds herself drawn to the mountains by a strange illness and the haunting whistle of the wind. She thinks the cure for the disease are hinted at in old legends. But Colleen isn't one to believe in legends either, and she has to decide which way to take it. As their paths collide, Atrix and Colleen must unravel the mysteries of the Blizzardelle Mountains and their dark history. But the deeper they dig, the more they realize that some truths are better left buried. And some feelings- like the growing bond between a dragon and a half-human- are too dangerous to ignore.
