When the murderer poisons Zera, Tanin learns that his wife's death was but a single move in a larger game... and there are far more lives at stake than their own.

Roc rider Tanin Stormrush has spent months trying to unlock the memories in his mind, stolen from Ragael, the shadowy mance who ordered his wife's murder. All he's unearthed is a tenuous connection between Ragael and Lana, Tanin's former fellow rider apprentice and past lover. But then, Tanin learns that Ragael needs both the male roc he stole and Tanin's roc partner, Zera. In hopes that Zera's presence will draw Ragael out, Tanin and his allies travel to the dangerous city of Bayside and attempt to contact Lana. Too late, they realize they've played right into the mance's hands. Now, with Ragael set to release an ancient evil and remake the fabric of reality, Tanin must take to the wing and unlock Zera's true potential. The power she possesses might be the only thing that stands between the enemy and his dark designs.

Through the cool night air they flew without interruption until dawn. The dwarves were taciturn, as was their usual manner, but occasional oaths were heard as the Rocs hit air pockets that sent them plummeting downward several meters. Each was alone with his or her own thoughts, too nervous for sleep as thoughts of the dreaded Plains of Desolation loomed large in their thinking. Here the real battle to save the world would be fought. The stakes were high; it was winner take all! But who would be the winner? Could their small force, maybe hopelessly outnumbered, tip the scales in favor of the races? Salduwe, a lake hidden high in the eastern mountains of the west, holds a secret unknown for over five hundred years. Could it be a pivotal key to unlocking the mystery surrounding malevolent forces that have lain dormant, but now begin to stir? Stones of power come into the hands of a young warrior and his gifted sister. They become embroiled in a fight for the survival of all the races. Ancient prophecies, given into the hands of men may hold the key to unraveling the mystery, helping set into motion powerful forces driving history to a climax. Salduwe’s Secret, second of three magical books by Dave Scorza continues the saga of ancients who once filled the earth. It pits the Dark Lord and his destroyers of things sacred and good against the Guardians of the Halls of Time and all the races that cherish freedom and honor

2008 Printz Award Winner Melina Marchetta crafts an epic fantasy of ancient magic, exile, feudal intrigue, and romance that rivets from the first page. (Age 14 and up) Finnikin was only a child during the five days of the unspeakable, when the royal family of Lumatere were brutally murdered, and an imposter seized the throne. Now a curse binds all who remain inside Lumatere’s walls, and those who escaped roam the surrounding lands as exiles, persecuted and despairing, dying by the thousands in fever camps. In a narrative crackling with the tension of an imminent storm, Finnikin, now on the cusp of manhood, is compelled to join forces with an arrogant and enigmatic young novice named Evanjalin, who claims that her dark dreams will lead the exiles to a surviving royal child and a way to pierce the cursed barrier and regain the land of Lumatere. But Evanjalin’s unpredictable behavior suggests that she is not what she seems -- and the startling truth will test Finnikin’s faith not only in her, but in all he knows to be true about himself and his destiny.

Five years, in which the people have felt a contentment unknown for generations.

For secrecy's sake, Ana must travel at a soldier's pace, with a small band led by the enigmatic spymaster Faolan. Bridei implores Ana to trust see the good in Faolan...but Ana cannot see beyond his cold competence and killer's eyes.

On July 24, 1964, chaos erupted in Rochester, New York. Strike the Hammer examines the unrest—rebellion by the city's Black community, rampant police brutality—that would radically change the trajectory of the Civil Rights movement. After overcoming a violent response by State Police, the fight for justice, in an upstate town rooted in black power movements, was reborn. That resurgence owed much to years of organizing and resistance in the community. Laura Warren Hill examines Rochester's long Civil Rights history and, drawing extensively on oral accounts of the northern, urban community, offers rich and detailed stories of the area's protest tradition. Augmenting oral testimonies with records from the NAACP, SCLC, and the local FIGHT, Strike the Hammer paints a compelling picture of the foundations for the movement. Now, especially, this story of struggle for justice and resistance to inequality resonates. Hill leads us to consider the social, political, and economic environment more than fifty years ago and how that founding generation of activists left its mark on present-day Rochester.

Daughter of the Forest is a testimony to an incredible author's talent, a first novel and the beginning of a trilogy like no other: a mixture of history and fantasy, myth and magic, legend and love. Lord Colum of Sevenwaters is blessed with six sons: Liam, a natural leader; Diarmid, with his passion for adventure; twins Cormack and Conor, each with a different calling; rebellious Finbar, grown old before his time by his gift of the Sight; and the young, compassionate Padriac. But it is Sorcha, the seventh child and only daughter, who alone is destined to defend her family and protect her land from the Britons and the clan known as Northwoods. For her father has been bewitched, and her brothers bound by a spell that only Sorcha can lift. To reclaim the lives of her brothers, Sorcha leaves the only safe place she has ever known, and embarks on a journey filled with pain, loss, and terror. When she is kidnapped by enemy forces and taken to a foreign land, it seems that there will be no way for her to break the spell that condemns all that she loves. But magic knows no boundaries, and Sorcha will have to choose between the life she has always known and a love that comes only once. Juliet Marillier is a rare talent, a writer who can imbue her characters and her story with such warmth, such heart, that no reader can come away from her work untouched.
