Princess Nyana is headed to Exas. But she’s going to need to rely on Abra Beachglass, because what she discovers when she gets there will send her reeling… Prince Kalen believes Nyana to be dead, and he suspects he's next. When he attempts a daring escape, things go sideways in a way he never saw coming...

In less than a moon cycle, Abra will come of age...and assume responsibility for the debts her mother ran away from years ago when she abandoned Abra as a child. Unfortunately, the men who hold Ma's debts aren't the type to let Abra pay them off in fish and clams. Her life is over before it has even begun.

It's halfway through the Top Twenty, and Princess Clio has successfully faked her own death. What will she discover as she moves unseen through the mall, waiting for her chance reenter the Trials at the beginning of The Top Ten? And when she does reveal she survived what the Rotunda thought was an excruciating death, is there something even more sinister in store for her?

Clio has learned a horrible truth. Now, what will she do with the knowledge? She has always planned to escape The Queen Trials ahead of the killing round. She doesn't want to be a queen, she just wants to survive. But if she chooses survival, can she live with herself? Clio has always been destined for more. She just didn't know how much she would be asked to give.

Rosie collapsed on the Seattle sidewalk, alone, cold, and drenched in seawater. Her head ached. Nothing seemed right. And her memory was little more than a fuzzy feeling of foreboding. She knows two things…One: She’s on an important mission. Two: Never mix with the locals. Injured and weary, Rosie knows that if she doesn’t get help, she may not be able to piece together the reason she's in 2018. Her gut says it’s vital. But if she trusts anyone, it could forever alter the timeline. When tough, street-smart Carlos takes her under his wing…the adventure begins.

All Princess Clio has wanted since she joined the Queen Trials was to find a way out of the competition before the killing round began. But when King Ergondy grants her wish, Clio learns more about the Forever War than she bargained for.

As the final round in The Queen Trials begins, Clio has run out of people to trust. What happens when the field is narrowed to the final princesses who will become queens?

I never wanted to join the Queen Trials. But I’m not a victim and never have been. When a peacekeeper attacks me in a mine shaft, I fight back and win. Sort of. Because I made a mistake. I let him live. He knows my name. He’ll come after me, and he’ll kill the only person I love: my sweet, clueless brother Shellor. Nobody escapes from Locality Fourteen. There was only one way out that would protect us both: Enter the Queen Trials and become a star. Now, I’m plunged into a competition with dozens of gorgeous women from all over the kingdom.

Clio has everything she needs to end King Ergondy's reign forever... except the opportunity. Now she's fighting to stay on top as King Ergondy uses a "glistening powder shortage" and an intensified Forever War to justify changing all the rules. Clio knows that if the king dismisses her, she'll never go home. Instead she'll live the rest of her life in the dungeons, feeding his insatiable appetite with her powerful feelings. Clio must survive to the bitter end, and even then, that might not be enough.

Against enormous odds, Clio Fathom has advanced to the next round of The Queen Trials, along with dozens of other women and girls... some of whom are already making plans to kill her. But first comes The Wishing Round, where three winners will receive the ultimate prize: the chance to make one wish, which King Ergondy is bound by duty to grant...whether he wants to or not.

Thrown into the Wishing Well, Clio must find three keys while fighting to stay alive in a nine-square grid of fear. Whether she wins or loses the round, her wish will be read aloud. Clio knows that if she holds three keys when King Ergondy learns what she wished for, her wish will have to be granted.

She wasn’t a rookie.... So, what went wrong with this time jump? Her head ached. Rosie was cold and drenched in seawater. Nothing was as it should have been. And her memory was little more than a fuzzy feeling of foreboding. She knows two things.... She’s a time-traveler on an important mission and the first rule: Never mix with the locals.

Rosie’s on a mission to save humanity. Carlos thinks he can help, but it requires introducing Rosie to Fast Eddie, a ruthless criminal with connections. Carlos blames Eddie for destroying his past. Rosie sees Eddie as the key to her future. Meanwhile, David and Ellen continue to hunt for Rosie using high-tech methods and lowlife tactics. David is willing to break any moral code to find his daughter.

Evil creatures find Sabrina irresistible... and she doesn't know it... Sabrina’s aura is unique, spellbinding, and absolutely delicious. Evil creatures come from miles around, attracted by the siren’s song she doesn’t know she’s singing.

Evil beings like Cutter.

He rides for miles in the darkness, racing through the night on his shiny black motorcycle. But he can’t outrun his nature no matter how much he wants to ... and the moment he catches scent of Sabrina’s aura, his longing to be something different sets his immortal soul ablaze.

The Collapse is here. Titanic waves leave behind devastation, chaos, and a surprising survivor who will challenge everything Rosie thought she knew about the Towers. And in 2074, as David slips the last few pieces of the puzzle into place, he realizes he’s built a bombshell, one that could easily blow his whole world apart. Sacrifices run high, with consequences that reverberate in every direction: past, present, and future. Rosie’s fate has always been ordained. Or has it?

Her only hope for survival is to find her own roots...The Collapse is imminent, and Rosie’s stuck in the present day where she will be swept away by an apocalyptic ice melt. Since Carlos is by her side, she’s not panicking...yet. Instead, she focuses on finding the teenage girl in Seattle who will become her grandmother. Rosie’s teenage grandmother is wealthy, privileged, and might have the means to help them travel back home to the future. But finding her grandmother isn’t easy, especially since Carlos thinks they’re being followed.

Either Rosie Columbia can predict the future, or she’s insane. One thing’s for certain: Carlos Alvarez has fallen for her hard. As they race around Seattle vandalizing one building after another, attempting to send a signal to Rosie’s father, Rosie struggles to convince Carlos she’s not crazy. Rosie must figure out a way to return to the future - and somehow bring Carlos with her.

Embracing her destiny will cost her everything. With The Collapse bearing down on her, Rosie is more lost than ever. She needs to prepare for the survival of The Towers. But how can she do that with no money and no team? Broke and forlorn, she searches for help in a dangerous place. Meanwhile, David won’t give up the hunt for his daughter, but each clue he uncovers leads to a new and startling revelation that will turn his world on its axis.
