TALONS OF POWER (#9)

ª!HSLHQBy9 1752z

Time is running out. Qibli knows Darkstalker must be stopped. And he knows he could stop him—if he had magic. With even a sliver of the ancient dragon’s all-powerful scroll, Qibli could rewrite history the right way: end the war forever, make every dragon happy, perhaps even cast a very small spell so that everyone would like him ... But the prophecies are not easy to rewrite. Using only the small animus objects he’s borrowed from Turtle, can Qibli be the magical force Pyrrhia needs, or will he be the one to bring Jade Mountain—and his family, his friends, the whole world—crashing down?

Because Percy is actually Perseus, and he’s been sent on a mission to take Meddy G down for good ... The second book in the laugh-out-loud series Medusa Gorgon’s Bad Hair Day.

Years after her first tumble down the rabbit hole, Alice returns to Wonderland. Unlike England, only Wonderland can grant her the freedom she craves, like the chance to open a magical tea shop. Even though Alice expects madness from the Mad Hatter, the March Hare, and the Cheshire Cat, she doesn’t expect to meet another real-world teen who claims she is the “true” Alice who first explored Wonderland. Nor does she expect to get captured by the Queen of Hearts’ soldiers— and meet dozens more so-called Alices at the castle. Based on a prophecy, the Queen believes only one Alice can save them all from the threat of three ghastly mock dragons. She declares that Wonderland’s saviour will be named Alice, while the others will be exiled—for good. Determined to secure her future, Alice sets out on a daring quest, equipped only with her enchanted teacups. Hesitant to trust other Alices, she tenuously aligns with a strange boy connected to the fearful jabberwocks of lore. But is Alice truly the Alice in Wonderland, or a mere footnote in another heroine’s story?

When an ancient ritual calls her, Callum and Ezran to the Moon Nexus, she learns the lake is a portal to a world between life and death. Rayla seizes the opportunity for closure and the chance to confirm that Lord Viren is gone for good.

But for young Rayla, whose parents recently left her behind to fulfil their duty as members of the elite Dragonguard, this autumn is scarier than most. Her guardians, Runaan and Ethari, are still getting the hang of the whole parenting thing, and no one will tell Rayla what Runaan does for a living. She spends most of her time exploring the forest outside the Silvergrove. When Rayla discovers a young Skywing elf in danger just hours before the Harvest Moon will rise, the scary stories become real. Can she stop the Huntress before the moon reaches its zenith?

Despite a bit of help from a book of spells created by Kpp’Ar, her father’s former mentor, it’s all she can do to keep things from blowing up in her face—often with spectacularly messy results. But a spell book isn’t the only thing that Kpp’Ar left behind when he suddenly and mysteriously vanished. In his wake stands the Puzzle House, a bizarre tower full of magical traps, tricks, contraptions and—what else—puzzles. Claudia is sure that the old mage left a gift for her and her brother, Soren, somewhere deep within its walls, and she is determined to find out exactly what it is. Can Claudia and Soren uncover all the mysteries hidden within the Puzzle House? Or will they discover a darkness that will change them forever?

While King Harrow, Aunt Amaya and the rest of the adults attempt to solve the mystery, Callum and Ezran meet compelling forces of their own. While each prince has something to prove, they will need to work together if they want to get to the bottom of things.

Aaron’s father, a reclusive theme park designer, told the town that Aaron and his sister Mya are living with a relative far away, but Nicky can’t seem to accept it. Plagued by terrifying nightmares of robotic mannequins, rotting theme parks and a dark basement, Nicky teams up with his friends from school to find out what really happened to Aaron and Mya. Together, they start piecing together a picture more disturbing than they could have imagined. The screams coming from the neighbour’s house can’t be nothing, and Nicky is determined to get to the bottom of where his friends went, and what – if anything – can be done to save them.
