Dale has never felt a sense of belonging. She despises the bullies
and snobs at school, and her family are difficult to like, let alone
love. Rhys, a new boy at school seems to take an interest in her. But
can she trust him? When the only friend she has ever had, Old Man
Gareth, is murdered before her eyes, she is set on a frantic journey
and a lonely adventure; the Borderlands beckon. But what are the
Borderlands? Will she make it to them? And if she gets there, will she
belong?

At first, with her curse, she thought of only one thing. Ashton. The one thing she wanted, but never got. It made her bitter. And now, she's paying the price. /// Brandon has never been like "the others." They turn to the latest forms of technology and entertainment, determined to make the most of every game and fad to come into their hands. All he really wants is a safe haven to turn the pages of a book, and the ability to lose himself in a world of fiction and others' problems. So when he finds out that libraries all over Yaquir are closing down due to decreased usage and an overabundance of E-books, and that his might be next, he decides to take matters into his own hands. He never dreamed he'd actually end up at a castle instead. Just as he never dreamed he'd become hopelessly stuck there either.

Savage Rising: Eternal Forest Saga - Book 1
It's been two hundred years since the Blight swept through the forest. The Lands of Order has experienced great peace and prosperity, but deep within the Savage Lands, an army is rising. Infused with a mysterious, dark power, the lizard-men race of the balisekts invades the civilized territories with an overwhelming force. No one knows the source of their black magic, but it seems tied to a mysterious girl found in the woods. She has no memory of who she is or where she came from, but she is infused with the ability to make things grow at her will. The tribes of the Lands of Order hope to use her abilities to bring them prosperity, while the balisekts seek to make her a weapon of war.

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
