Magic is real. Those immune to its effects, known as Dis-cons, are considered extremely dangerous threats to society. They are hunted down and killed by an elite terrorist organization known only as Trackers.
Ella is a Dis-con. She’s spent her entire life trying to hide and fool the world around her, pretending she has magic. But when a Tracker finally discovers what she truly is, Ella knows she has to take action-- —but she needs help. And there’s no one more motivated than Wren. Her mother was also a Dis-con—murdered by Trackers. Ever since that day, Wren’s mission has been to kill every last one of them. When she discovers Ella and her similarities to her mother, the two girls join forces, vowing to take down the Trackers at any cost. |
In the time of the great King Arthur, there was an island in the mists called Avalon where, in the shadows of history, the much greater force of magic was used to shape the course of humanity.
Anna and Bronwyn, two young Priestesses-in-training, don’t know it yet, but they will rule Avalon someday. The only problem? They can’t stand each other. Needing the girls to not only be civil to each other but also to learn the essence of teamwork is of the utmost importance to the current High Priestesses. In order to teach the girls to work together, they bind Anna and Bronwyn in magic, then release them into the world and away from Avalon. Their first destination: Camelot, and upon arrival, they find that something nefarious is going on that may endanger King Arthur’s life. The girls must resolve their differences in order to save the king and possibly all of England. |

THE HEART OF IRELAND SERIES
BY MARNI L.B. TROOP
Casey is a Faerie, but not in the way you might think. She’s not a little creature with wings or magic dust. If not for her tall, pointed ears, this regal princess could be mistaken for a human. She is gifted among her people in that she can see into anyone’s thoughts. She can remember every detail of every event that has occurred among the Faeries since her birth.
In TIR NA N’OG, Casey watches as the Faerie kings slaughter Ith, a stranger from across the sea and man of peace who believes the Faeries to be the gods of his people, the Iberians. Little do the kings know that when you kill an innocent, humans seek vengeance. Ith’s people come in great numbers to slaughter their “gods” and take Ireland as their new home. Caught in the middle, Casey tries to find a way to bring peace to the two peoples so they can live on the Island together. After things do not go as she plans, the humans prove victorious. At the moment the Faeries surrender the Island, she and her people are transformed into the magical creatures that inspire legend, and Ireland is changed forever... |

The People fight back, but the robed man's powers and cunning quickly prove to best those of the People. There are even signs of change within Tir Na n'Og!

This story is told in three separate novels. The novels are together under one cover because it is about three different groups of survivors during a two hundred year period following a worldwide nuclear war. Each novel has its own characters and each can stand alone. But, in the end, all of the characters and their stories come together.
The first part happens at the end of this two hundred year period in a isolated area along the California coast where some survivors were being forced to live under strict rules dictated by a powerful group known as the Controllers. The second part is about a group of people who were living in a cave where they had gone for protection from the impending war. After forty years in the cave, they wanted to return to the surface, but their leader, for personal reasons, did not want them to go up. It is about their mutiny and what happened when they returned to the surface. The last part is about a group that managed to escape the war by traveling far away to another planet. They were a group of teenagers who were kidnapped and made immortal by a woman whose overall plan was never clear. After more than a century on the planet, she decided to erase the immortality of a select few of them. But the teens take over and decide to return to Earth to restore the immortality for those few. On Earth they eventually meet the other two groups of survivors and the identity of the Controllers and their purpose becomes known. This three-part story is about what could happen if the competition for everything was eventually settled when all sides were armed with unimaginably large quantities of the ultimate weapon which was specifically developed to kill fellow human beings. This was survival of the fittest in the nuclear age. |
Morey Baum has just made one of the most significant discoveries in all of science. Linking a quantum computer directly to his brain, he was able to visualize the origin of the universe and see solutions to problems that the rest of the scientific community struggled with for decades. He is unable to announce it to anyone because it has been impossible for him to transcribe it into words or mathematics. To add to his predicament, he has a terminal condition and only months to live. So he must try to pass his revelation on to someone who can carry his work forward. He has chosen a close colleague, Megan O’Brien. Megan’s religious beliefs are making it difficult for her to accept this honor despite her intense interest and desire as a scientist. In the meantime, others are attempting to either steal or destroy the discovery. And so begins a wild ride to escape the conspirators and at the same time find ways to bring his discovery to the scientific community in an understandable form. Along the way Morey and Megan get help from several unlikely sources when some of their pursuers become their allies. The story is about how intense professional competition, greed and dogmatic beliefs can sometimes get in the way of rational judgment and the search for truth.
