Nelda, an orphan of the "Mother Peoples," is raised by a mysterious outsider who has lived in the far southern forest of the province of Maternalia for the past 200 years. After a mysterious and deadly sickness begins to ravage the province, the attention of the Aquilan governor, a man about which there is far more than meets the eye, turns south to the precious sap of the godtrees that Nelda has learned is connected to the beating heart of the world. Soon Nelda will be locked in a struggle with the oldest enemy of mankind both for her survival and the survival of the world as she knows it.
In the capital city of the Maternalian province, Quintus, the Aquilan governor's son, is growing tired of living in his father's shadow. Shortly after his mother falls sick with the quickly spreading "fire palsy," his father becomes obsessed with the power of his position and rumors of a cure that lies half a world away in the province's barbarian south. Soon Quintus will come face to face with a young barbarian girl who will change the course of his life and show him that life holds infinitely more value than he ever thought was possible.

The Moon's Blood, the Forest's Curse
In a land where the forest whispers with ancient power, the Viravyn, a once-immortal race bound by the magic of their gemstone eyes, were the protectors of the earth and its secrets. Each gem carried the strength of nature itself-wisdom, time, strength, and fate. But when the Kingdom of England, driven by greed, attacked their peaceful homeland, the Viravyn's fate was sealed in blood. A promise made after the first battle kept them safe for a time-but the heart of man, consumed by avarice, would not be denied. The king, hungry for their power, broke his vow, launching a merciless attack on the Viravyn as they slept. Only one survived the massacre: Araneth, a mother from the Thalwyn Clan, who fled with her unborn child. In hiding within a small village near London, Araneth concealed the truth of her people, her eyes hidden from the world. She raised her daughter, Neravyn Solalith, teaching her how to survive in a world that would never accept them, even as the scars of their lost heritage festered within her. But when the soldiers return, hunting the last of the Viravyn, Araneth's final sacrifice ignites the spark of vengeance in her daughter's heart. Now, Neravyn must journey into the heart of the forest that once belonged to her people. The curse of her bloodline will lead her toward the truth of her mother's sacrifice, the truth of the gems that bind her fate, and the truth of a revenge that will burn the world to its core. The forest waits, the moon watches, and the blood of the Viravyn calls.
Guardians of Terraria
William, Robyn and Sid wake up in a strange grassy forest, made completely from pixels and blocks, with no memory of their past or knowledge of the world they have been thrust into. The world plays like a game, the nights bring zombies and flying demon eyes, the lands are being corrupted by living flesh, and the old man standing in front of a mysterious dungeon seems to be under some sort of curse. The three of them will need to learn how to work together, build up a village for the astray citizens that keep showing up on their doorstep, and gear up in order to take on the challenges of the world and become the Guardians of Terraria.

The spark and storm
They called her *witch* before they ever saw her power. On the night her village turned to flame, sixteen-year-old **Maya** watched her mother unleash a storm of crystal and fire to save them both. Now hunted and exiled, Maya flees into the forbidden **Blackwood Forest**-a place whispered to be alive, where spirits of light drift between the trees and ancient gods still dream beneath the soil. But something in the forest is watching her. Something old enough to remember her bloodline. And when it speaks her name, the world itself trembles. Bound by prophecy and shadow, Maya must uncover the truth of her family's power-the *Crystalborn*-a lineage once sworn to guard the earth's heart from the darkness below. Yet with every step deeper into the forest, that darkness awakens...and it knows her name. As the boundary between magic and madness thins, Maya will have to decide what she's willing to become to protect what remains of her world. Because some destinies are not chosen. They are awakened.
